All been arranged

[atyourservices]

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 IT WORKS:
❧ Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences.
❧ If there's a specific set of circumstances you like best, set the scene.
❧ Or leave your comment blank and let others use RNG to choose the scenario. Feel free to mix and match.
❧ Please note the prompts below are merely suggestions and you're more than welcome to come up with your own situation.
❧ Have fun!


POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

( she's from a noble family, so the most likely culprit is the "station" scenario, but i am happy to play out any of the above!! )

( I hope you're cool with m/m! I was thinking of doing something involving a Greek/Britain alliance through a "comradeship" between these two? We can keep it vaguely historically accurate in that they won't be married, but obv intense sword friends who probably pork and everyone knows it. )

[uglydress]

[ I love assumed CR, crossovers (♥ ♥ ♥), convoluted scenarios, combustive attraction, bickering, first time, culture differences, ingenue/gruff, worldly man, inhuman characters, Beauty and the Beast dynamics because duh, partners eager to please, fairy tale/fantasy settings, magic, passionate reunions, redoing first times that didn't go so well. sneaky trysts, risk of discovery, emotions spilling out in private, and much, much more.

Ridiculously into Tolkienverse (dwarves yes pls), ASOIAF/GOT, HP (my kingdom for a Newt Scamander or Lupin), and MCU right now and equally into AUing Belle to fit in any of them, but check out my slightly embarrassing dream list of shit I'd like to play. ]

[invigorates]

[ In the years since their betrothal was arranged, Lioriley and Nahyuta had never actually seen one another in person. They spoke through brief letters, holding conversations that would last weeks if only because the post took damn near forever to reach either border. Sometimes they wouldn't get there at all, what with pesky bandits on the roads and other such perils that came with living in a medieval society.

Today, however, they would finally see one another. With their wedding fast approaching now, it seemed only right that Nahyuta come and properly acquaint himself with his soon to be home. Lioriley had encouraged it, of course; and was more than a little excited at the prospect of finally meeting him.

It's early afternoon when the carriage finally pulls up to the snow-covered castle. She had warned him in her last letter that he had best prepare for the cold - and she could only hope he had heeded her advice now. There's the standard fanfare of a royal arriving in the city, and the walk to the front gates of the spiraling castle gives Lioriley enough time to make herself presentable in the front hall.

When the doors open and she finally sets her eyes on him, the elf finds herself dumbstruck.

OH NO.

he's hot. ]

Ah — [ She catches herself, bows in greeting. ] 'Tis a pleasure to have you, Lord Nahyuta.

[Following the trend of his sister being pushed into a political marriage, Ravus might have married to improve Tenebrae's political standing and/or Niflheim's influence. Can be canon setting, AU, or whatever else you want to roll with.]
