Big question

The Marriage Proposal Meme



Ah, marriage proposals. Popping the question, as they call it. You're absolutely certain you want to spend the rest of your life with this special someone but how do you do it? There are so many ways! Let's see, there are the "classics" and the cute and nerdy ways, or the occasional halftime proposal at sporting events (or during the medal ceremonies). Sky's the limit!
You love this person, right? Then just go for it!


How this works:
→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well. Include if you want your character to propose, do the proposing, or both!
→ Congratulations, your character is either being proposed to or proposing.
→ Tag around. Please please tag around.
→ Feel free to roll RNG (1-9) if you cannot come up with "methods" of your own.
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!
  • 1 — The Classic. (Down on bended knee you go!)
  • 2 — The Sneak-in-the-Food. (There's something in this cake...?)
  • 3 — The Book. (Please, turn to page 12.)
  • 4 — The Game. (The message's on the jumbotron or you're doin' it half-court style with thousands watching.)
  • 5 — The Nonchalant. (Hey, uh, why don't we just get hitched? =/)
  • 6 — The Arrangement. (This is an Arranged Marriage. That doesn't mean there can't be any sort of romance beforehand, right?)
  • 7 — The Special Delivery. (You've been away but you must do this somehow.)
  • 8 — The Interception. (They're promised to someone else but you're going to do it anyway.)
  • 9 — Fuck da police. (In other words, the random/whatever option.)

We will find one and an officiant and make this binding as soon as we can.

[In the immediate future, there are more kisses.]

Though in my heart you are already mine.

Vēzos qēlossās ñuho. [My sun and stars.

If nothing else she's been practicing and while she can speak Low Valyrian it's the bastardized version taught to her for the purposes of trade. It wasn't the language of love that Aemond spoke with the same finesse as wielding a sword and she was determined to purify what she'd learned.

Aemond had mentioned wanting his children to speak his language, among other things that came to her mind while stealing kisses from him. And what did come to mind gave her pause, not in a way that weakened her resolve, but in a way that addressed something Aemond was also very proud of.]


What of Vhagar?

[He grins, impressed.]

Jorrāelagon hen issa glaeson.

[Love of my life. He will teach their children many things, High Valyrian among them. The thought soothes him, though what he says next is spoken with a heavy heart.]

She cannot come with us. There is no hiding with a dragon. We have said our goodbyes.

[Abigail knew Aemond, every movement was deliberate and not wateful, every word was weighted and calculated, in between those things were the moments of levity and relief they had together.

She knew him well enough not to be sorry because he had made a choice and he was decisive. Even still she was sorry, not for his choices, but for an imperfect world where being a dragon rider could not exist with loving her at the same time.

It was certainly something she would never take for granted and she gave his hand a gentle squeeze in her own. It was hard to find words, but if dragons had similar feelings to their own then she would feel Aemond's loss as deeply as Abigail could have.]
