More than arranged

[hydrates]

Arranged Marriage Turned More To have and to hold, you said, till death do us part, all while the sharp, swinging pendulum of obligation hung overhead. But how could you have truly meant those words? This union has been tainted from the start, forever bearing the chains of an arranged marriage. It would be understandable if you couldn't bear to look at your new life partner, eternal reminder of your stolen future that they are, much less like them. Much less love them... Still, things can change. You could realize that they are in the same boat as you or, that when compared to others around you, they are the lesser of evils. Perhaps you even open up to the idea of a friendship; at the very least, an alliance may be in order to become a power couple in a perilous world. From that innocent decision or sense of self-preservation, a new feelings sparks. Something like affection. Something, you realize in the wake of speeding heartbeats, like love. Will you acknowledge this? Can the two of you have a happily ever after - happier than if you'd met in another fashion - or will you hold firm in your distaste? how to play. - Everybody loves "couples forged by less-than-ideal circumstances" tropes! - Comment with your character, prefs, all that good stuff. - Reply to others. - IDEC where you set your threads, it's wide open. Fantasy world with hairy hobbits, old-timey lands, future AUs, do a space marriage for all I care. I'm sure they're still getting married in Star Wars or whatever.

[ooc: Son of a Duke whose bloodline is second only to the royal family of Tasmeria and heir to the current Prime Minister yada yada so on and so forth. Berne will easily agree to a political marriage without fuss. Hope his spouse doesn't mind playing second fiddle to an unrequited love though.]

[ Married off as less of a benefit - unless her stepmother thinks she can barter a fortuitous deal and push the weight further on Ella's shoulders - and more of a bid to get her out of her household's hair. ]

[ Now that the evil witch has perished by fire and blade, what else is there for a warrior princess-turned-queen who's known nothing of ruling, but only of survival? Why, get married, of course!

An alternative to her advisors setting the match up could be that Snow and your character have been intended since childhood, but after her stepmother took the throne, she was presumed dead...or worse. Her fiancé resigns himself to a life without his wife-to-be; perhaps he even feels a guilty pang of relief, his obligation ended and his bonds broken so that he can now fall for someone else entirely.

Years later, however, the crown sits upon Snow's head and with it ugly decisions to be made. Do old promises, alliances from a lifetime ago hold clout? ]

[ generally, dwarves are too proud and hold the sanctity of the marriage bed too in too high of a regard to trade in arranged unions, but he's a princeling in exile. desperate times might call for even more desperate measures. ]

[courtintrigue]

(Jamjar settings fine. This is probably happening in a place where she's particularly valued for her magic/witchy bloodline, or maybe someone with a title owed her mom a favor and Flemeth has cryptic plans that Morrigan herself is only half-aware of.)
