Positive stories about older half-siblings?

I have two little children with DH, and he has two older teenagers. Our relationship with them is good overall but they do not live close and do not visit as often as they might.

My two are close and happy, and I want them to have a very good bond. Does anyone have any experience of being a child of a second marriage with older half-siblings? I am imagining that my two will be able to have a normal, close live-in sibling relationship and that a relationship with the other two will be a bonus if it works out.
