Arranged Marriage

[priderock]

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.

(Canon, cross, AUs welcome. Likely a case where she's valued for her magic/witchy bloodline or this is a result of some cryptic bargain someone made with her mother and she may not even be fully aware of the end goal. Open to other ideas! She'll be reluctant so I'm here for conflicted feelings and complicated attraction.)

a twist

[sizhui]

When the news first came, Sizhui was devastated.

No, he always knew it was a possibility. A probability, even. But the engagement of the young Sect Leader Jin becoming reality was something else, and Sizhui...

Well, he did what the men in his family do when in emotional distress - he went into secluded meditation. To try to calm himself down, because he is a Lan and a Wen and a Wei, and all of these go way overboard when what they want is being taken away, and he can't ruin this for Jin Ling.

He can't make it harder for Jin Ling, because Sizhui knows him. He knows it's hard enough already.

He only wrenches away from solitude because the appointed date is nearly upon them, and he has...

He has come to a decision, and it is one that is only fair if done before Jin Ling has committed himself to another. Not to change his mind, but because...

Because he can't do this if Jin Ling has vowed himself to someone else. He'd break.

He arrives to the Jin residence the way he always does, without problems but without fanfare either, and he steps out from his sword on a familiar balcony. But instead of going directly in, this time... this time, he knocks on Jin Ling's door. The balcony door.
