Arranged

[lumeria]

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; not looking for shipping. interested in a scenario where rose ends up in an arranged marriage to a man whom she comes to respect and eventually develops a friendship with. historical and other fantasy canons/universes would work best, but if her info and permissions work for you, i'm pretty much good with whatever, gen-wise. ]

(( Canonically she has an arranged marriage, and I'd really like to play an M/F scenario where she's able to maybe befriend her fiance. But I play her as a lesbian so she wouldn't fall in love with him, so I'd like to focus on the friendship between the two! Maybe even calling off the marriage for their own happiness?

Or I could AU it with an F/F, F/NB-lesbian scenario that could be focused on romance!

Modern setting for both please! ))

[ [ OTA-ish. She's a centaur from the Warring States period of Japanese history whose former obsession was becoming a mount for a warrior. She'll do her best, though? Oh and she really doesn't like men all that much thanks to some bad stuff in her backstory. ]
