Arranged Marriage



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 to Play:
Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
Be sure to mention any scenarios you are interested or not interested in playing.
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!


POSSIBLE REASONS:
STATION: You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
FEUD: You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
ECONOMICS: Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
EMPIRE: You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
TRIBUTE: You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
BLOODLINE: Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
DISAPPROVAL: Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.



POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
FIRST MEETING: This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
COURTSHIP: To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
ENGAGEMENT PARTY: Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
WEDDING DAY: The big day!
RECEPTION: The big party!
WEDDING NIGHT: Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
HONEYMOON: Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

( Would you be up for a thread with these two? I was thinking some kind of bloodline related prompt, given Kiritsugu's mage lineage and Hellsing's interest in the occult. Lmk what sort of scenarios you'd be interested in, and I'll do my best to accommodate! )

[ easiest for me would be tribute or economics, others would need a bit (or a lot) of au'ing but i welcome all prompts. 18+ ota, crosscanon and canonmates welcome, just no malleable/blank slate protags. ]

[ Character info. No smut, otherwise open to everything else on the menu. Fantasy would probably be the easiest setup and the one I prefer. Modern can work as well, as her family (see: her grandfather) has a thing for amassing power and influence through marriage. ]

[It's a big job. Geralt almost loses his life in the process, but it's done. Imagine his pleasure, his absolute surprise, upon returning to a lavish kingdom and castle to be told that-- although the crown is grateful for his service, they can't possibly pay him.

And he can't unkill the monster, so he's shit out of luck.

So he hangs around like a bad smell (and he does smell, because he hasn't bathed since he returned covered in blood, guts and mud) until a deal is struck. He can have coin, a pittance, and a lovely bride. Isn't that nice?

Not really. It's a burden to Geralt, actually, even if the idea of warm meals and clean clothes and someone to come home to has an appeal to it. It's the fact that they provide him with his choice of any bride that makes him contemplate it, and that rash, stubborn streak in him lashes out.

He wants whoever has the biggest dowry, obviously. Not just because Geralt has zeroed in on the most valuable, marriage option in the room. It's things he overhears. The viscount has already been promised to a tyrant warlord who is only in need of a wife because he's gone through so many of them.

There's something about making a choice that absolutely fucks everyone over that is irresistible to him. Which is how he got here, a wedding feast, where it is immediately apparent absolutely nobody is celebrating. No matter. He's here to collect the bride and fill his pockets with bread rolls.

That's where Jaskier's groom is. Still not bathed. Helping himself to food, not turning as everyone else does when the bride enters the hall.]

[Noiz was, in many ways, exactly what you would expect from a shitty, entitled heir to a big company. Even the ways he didn't fit— the way that he didn't dress in designer clothes, his many, many piercings— fit too. Probably because he also managed to avoid the limelight, sticking to whatever probably sketchy projects he had instead of actually, you know— taking interest in what his parents did.

He took that same general apathy to this whole arranged marriage shit. Maybe because he thought he could get out of it— probably because any other attempts to hook him up hadn't worked out. But this was a little different, because in this case, his dad had his eyes on something a little different& the Striders' entire company, and Noiz was the prize. Sort of. It was something.

So Noiz had to play along, at least a little. At least, he had to get in contact, do something. And he still sort of wanted to be a little bit repulsive, so unsolicited-pierced-dick-pic it was.

He could still treat this like some kind of awful hookup if he wanted to. It's only accompanied by a few words.

[ m/m; preferences.

open to a modern setting, teyvat, or a more fantasy kingdom sort of thing. his reason for ending up in an arranged marriage will have to do with the debt he's keeping secret, so the marriage could be a means of saving face and/or preserving his family's company/kingdom/name etc. ]
