Arranged Marriage

[reversesock]

Arranged Marriage



Marriage for love is a such a modern concept. In the past, marriage was
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!


How to Play:
Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
Be sure to mention any scenarios you are interested or not interested in playing.
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!


POSSIBLE REASONS:
STATION: You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
FEUD: You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
ECONOMICS: Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
EMPIRE: You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
TRIBUTE: You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
BLOODLINE: Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
DISAPPROVAL: Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.



POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
FIRST MEETING: This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
COURTSHIP: To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
ENGAGEMENT PARTY: Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
WEDDING DAY: The big day!
RECEPTION: The big party!
WEDDING NIGHT: Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
HONEYMOON: Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

[infinite1ups]

( bonus points for fantasy AUs but something modern could work too! i'm just trash for this trope whoops. )

[fromfryingpantofire]

(Suddenly "finding" a daughter of the Petrelli line to marry off to the heir to the throne is totally a thing that Angela would do, isn't it?)

Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF/GoT | M/F

[largeshadow]

( I mean... he's literally in an arranged marriage in his canon, so. )

[sirintegra]

(I'm very interested if you're open to crosscanon. I'd au her into asoiaf, naturally. perhaps the last heir to her house...lots of coin but somewhat ostracized by other nobles because of odd rumors. lmk!)

Emma | A Victorian Romance | F/M

[lacehandkerchief]

[Assumed CR, AUs of all types (fantasy particularly loved) and canon all welcome.]

hel/geiravor lokisdottir | the prophecies of ragnarok | ota

[sinne]

[ literally a princess and heir to the throne, but more than happy to au into other canons or a general fantasy setting. or space? there can be royals in space. can even do some kind of modern royalty (or really rich families making arrangements) but that might not be as fun, lol. ]

Sherry | The Priest's Chart | OTA

[dragonofthelake]

(ooc | information. tldr; info and permissions. image gallery

OTA for gen, 18+ for shipping to be mutual.

Please note that Sherry is a dragon and has some features that might stick out. His ears are pointed like an elf, and his eyes are like that of a cat.

Sherry isn't canonically royalty, but I'm open to an AU version that gives him such a position within the dragon clan. He won't be happy with the arrangement, but he'll follow the tradition.

I'm open to M/M arranged marriages being a thing, but if we want to make Sherry very unhappy, dragons aren't inherently gendered and while he chooses a male form, he can turn into a female human as well.

M/F also good! )

Gu Sui | Best Actor is a Fox Spirit | OTA

[flirtyfox]

(ooc | Information. tldr; info. image gallery.

OTA for gen, M/M 21+ for mutual shipping. I believe his fox form works best for the meme.

Sui isn't royalty per se, but he is the ruler of the spirit realm and very hard to control. However, there are moments when he was low enough that it's possible; I'm good with making that up as well.

Sui is canonically only into men. I'm open to M/F interactions, but found family is likely as close as it would become. In terms of producing an heir, there's a way for two men to be blessed with a child that has nothing to do with MPREG in the heavenly realm. )

MJ | MCU | OTA

[neverdisappointed]

[Not my usual trope, but I thought it would be interesting if through the MCU's multiversal mechanics she ended up in a different universe that doesn't take too kindly to her for whatever reason, but she grabs the attention of some royal or other respected person who essentially tells her, "Look, if you marry me I can at least protect you and offer you a home." Also open to other options and am willing to AU her as necessary!]

Mehemis/Mimi | The King and Me | OTA

[rockyemperor]

(ooc | The current ruler of Ebis, an ancient city in Egypt. Mimi has some history that keeps him romantically closed off and intentionally maintains a reputation far worse than his actual personality.

For anything romantic to develop, strong, intelligent characters are preferred. Mimi has to feel on equal footing for himself to open up.

For friendship, open to all.

I know M/M marriages weren't really a reality then, but neither were giant snakes out of dark pits so come at me. Of course, very open to Females, too. )

[ open to cross canon settings, anything except a modern au would work for this. ]

(something corporate arranged most likely, and probably with an ulterior motive.)

arranged marriage prt 2: electric boogaloo, feat angra kerry

[originbullets]

( Ever since the grail had taken on Kiritsugu's wish, his mind had been in a perpetual war with itself. Between the broken husk of a man who sought a better world, and the spirit who now inhabited his body as a vessel: Angra Mainyu, the man who'd been falsely accused and tormented for "all the world's evil." His existence was now one of a destructive curse, causing an inherent corruption within his soul of infinite power and hatred.

Recently, he'd come into acquisition of a young woman as an offering, both strong, formidable, and not to mention beautiful. He knew that the man he once was would have had more qualms with taking a woman so unwilling as a bride, but this was the ultimate conclusion of his ideals. He required a child able to bear his power and strength. Integra was simply a means to an end.

He smooths a hand through her hair, pulling frame close to his own, just inches away from the hotel bed. )

You're quite the pretty one.

( He remarks, contemplating just how he wanted to play with his new toy. )

[andgracetoo]

( don't have the icons uploaded for it yet but medieval/fantasy AU would be swell. otherwise, maybe a modern royalty kind of scenario. the spoils of war prompt sounds kind of interesting, potentially with a twist in which she's a warlord and claims herself a husband? more info on her journal! )
