This is a brief-as-possible write-up explaining our Tribe and the relationships established there. This page is called "Love Nest," because it's what Dave and Bunneh have started calling the collective of both systems together.
So we'll start with me, Hex, a.k.a. the High Priestess. I'm married to Gabriel Kroun, H.M. Murdock (a.k.a. Bunneh), William Hamleigh, and Wyatt Cain, who's also my Primary. Respectively, they call me Sugar, Honey, Lady (mine), and Angel. Ivy Tamwood is my girlfriend/lover, calls me Pet, but is not technically Tribe (see below for the explanation).
Gabriel is also married to Bunneh (and they live together in Gabriel's house in Chicago), and inter-system to my fake!sisters Dren and Quetzal (who is his Primary), and is lovers/partners with Elim Garak. To him, they're Murdock, Princess/little wife, Sweetheart, and darling. He's Quetzel's Dom, and his title in that capacity is Lord Husband (which William calls him anyway, because of his 12th century sense of heirarchy).
Bunneh sometimes will call Gabriel Hubbykins or big man. His only other spouse is Dave Bowman (inter-system) whom he mostly calls baby (except when Dave is in Dom mode, then he's Commander or sir, and calls Bunneh Captain), and who is his Primary.
William and Bunneh have started sleeping together, and also have admitted/discovered they're in love. William will be living with Bunneh and Gabriel from now on (three of my husbonds in one house? Cripes! :P), while still maintaining a suite in Ischia (another 'Bonds' "homeworld") for sword fighting practice.
Quetzal, a.k.a. the Medicine Woman, is also married to Dave, Murdock (Bunneh's twin), Legolas (who's gay), and Spock. Her core group of non-spouse lovers (not Tribe) are Prior Phillip, William ("brother"/alter to mine), Clu (who is also involved with Mirkwood's William), T'Pol ("Scary Vulcan Lesbian"), Reg Barclay, and Liam Hawk.
Dren has another husband, Hannibal Smith, who calls her Barracuda. He also isn't technically Tribe.
Murdock and Dave live together, but are not married.
Garak is also partners with Legolas, not Tribe.
Wyatt is monogamous, on my request and insistence (I am completely and utterly incapable of sharing him. I tried. It Ended Very Badly). He admits he's not wired for polyamory anyway. Even though he now lives in Labyrinth, he's still technically Tribe, because he "started" in Mirkwood.
So, the Tribe, as of right now, includes me, Gabriel, Bunneh, Wyatt, Quetzal, Dave, Murdock, Dren, and Garak. We call non-Tribe spouses "the Council," and they are my William, Spock, Legolas, and Hannibal. The non-spouse lovers are "Consorts," and include Ivy, Quetzal's William, Clu, Phillip, T'Pol, Reg, and Hawk. We don't have a designation for Everyone Else in both systems, but they are extended family.
What makes someone part of the core Tribe is having an inter-system romantic or sibling relationship (with the exception of Wyatt, as noted above). Murdock is Tribe because of his split with Bunneh; they used to be the same person. But the Hamleigh boys came to us separately, so while they consider themselves to be "brothers," that doesn't fall under the Tribe definitions.
