When the arranged marriage is just right. /chef's kiss

[oakensocks]

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.

The Allfather had talked to him again and again about Thor's future responsibilities. A lot of them had sounded distasteful, to be honest, to a young man that wanted nothing more than to adventure and battle and carouse.

Even so, he looked forward to proving himself worthy and being crowned the ruler of Asgard. His mother had pointed out that he would need a queen to sit at his right hand, to be wise and steadfast, a voice of reason. Thor looked forward to that as well. At least, he looked forward to finding suitable candidates and wooing them.

So why was it that he had endured a whole ceremony that now bound him to a Frost Giant? One of the very things he so enjoyed battling. He'd always considered them to be basic, foul, violent creatures. And yet...

[Perhaps two lands need to be united. Perhaps one land wants to get rid of their resident gremlin diplomatically. (It's not like any prison can hold him!) They dress him in red and cart him to the Ghost Lord, dumping him before they make a quick exit. No, they are not lingering in this valley!]
