Arranged

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?

[Open to all prompts, but fairly partial to Bloodline & Station given Tessa's character.]

[sixeyedice]

[Bloodline or Empire, though we can toss a few ideas for prompts? Maybe courtship - or rather "How bad can Gojo fluster Tessa: the movie". HE CAN'T KEEP HIS HANDS OFF HER I'M SORRY.]

lapis de fiore | original | ota

[crisantemo]

[ she's the heiress of a criminal family of the supernatural kind and the granddaughter of an eldtrich being, so arranged marriages would def be something if within the supernatural community. also totally open to au-ing her as well, though general vibes of her family will always be "powerful and sketchy".

also completely ota scenarios wise! more info in journal. ]

[timonism]

[ have been meaning to hit you up with regards to this prompt and this is the perfect opportunity. do you have any preferences for what point in an arranged marriage we'd be starting off from? i was thinking courting but i'm flexible -- i'm up for starting us off as well! ]

Titus Alexius / Magi / OTA 15+

[wearingguess]

[ for canon-adjacent scenarios, he's a high priest/ceremonial head of state who's very involved in both domestic and diplomatic matters, so a match to secure an alliance or shore up political support makes good sense! (he probably can't bear children the natural way, but maybe he can carry on the family tradition and cook one up magically??)

AU scenarios are more than welcome, too—he can slot into whatever kind of setting as a royal/aristocrat/other type of rich and important person (or formerly rich and important for a tribute/spoils of war setup), potentially as one who can, in fact, bear a child the classic way.

In any setup, I'm down for anything from fluff to nasty dark shit; tbh i'm always here for smut but can live without it.

(also may or may not be wearing this.) ]

[ info. because the first time went so well. m/f or f/f, always happy to do antoinette/louis xvi stuff, too, but really - open to anything. historical scenarios, jamjar style stuff, modern au's, fling it all at me. just no smut. marie antoinette is 18-19 at my chosen canon point, but can age up if preferred. ]

( likely an au needed for this so let's hash it out! keen on station/tribute/bloodline.

also if any joker's out there are interested — would love to do disapproval with one of them being wed off and they keep their affair going. )

Dion Lesage - FFXVI - OTA

[onlyforgiveness]

(Open to castmates for canon AUs, cross-canon for full AUs. Dion's a crown prince and gay with a lover already, so if you want something angsty with that, now's the perfect time.)

[Something arranged between your families? Or a marriage of convenience thing? Let's talk it all out!

Can be canon compliant or AU based!]

Hiyori Tomoe | Enstars

[tfy]

[Comes from a noble family where this is common practice. He would not be happy to be married off, but I'm ok with playing it as more of a neutral thing (or an eventually-positive thing) rather than purely negative.

Would prefer m/f arrangements only, for realism reasons. That said, I would also be open to playing something where he's engaged but sleeping around or dating someone (possibly as a "get it all out of his system before the big day" kind of thing) and m/m works perfectly fine for that.]

[meltinglight]

((i was inspired and love adultery themes so here's an AU outside their CR, but no worries if this isn't your thing))


As much as Hiyori is unhappy about the arrangement overseen by his family, Tomoe is repulsed. There's nothing he can do to stop the eventual ringing of wedding bells, so until that time he's determined to fuck his friend every chance he gets. It's only fair! Adding a weight to the other side of the scale to balance things out. The wedding is what matters to those people, not Hiyori's joy. It goes against everything Tomoe stands for, so naturally he'll pour an abundance of happiness and pleasure into Hiyori in protest.

A large event demands many decisions, and especially notable is today's cake-tasting. The wedding cake must be flawless. And with so many options aside from flavour to choose from in terms of visuals, size, decorations, it's practically an event in itself. The bride-to-be and her many friends have excused themselves from the main table and chosen to have a break from the discussions and refresh themselves. Tomoe followed immediately afterwards, as if he had something he just remembered needed to be said, but he had no intention of allowing any of the excitable women know he was nearby.

In fact, he left with a wink towards Hiyori and the next he'd hear of Tomoe is a phone call, a by-now familiar suggestiveness to his voice in the greeting.

"I'm surprised you could taste anything after this morning," he teases. Hiyori's tongue had been in use, but it certainly wasn't anything edible Tomoe had fed him. Well, not until the climactic end!

Tomoe has a video sharing feature active as well, which might seem odd given they're not far apart and Hiyori had seen him literally a few minutes ago. But maybe there's a hint in the background noise: women talking, behind a door. The door which Tomoe is leaning on, his back comfortable against the pristine white. There has been a lot of white surrounding everything since the engagement announcement, and the coincidence is amusing enough.

Panning the phone's camera down, he shares that even the hot and intense show of possessiveness towards Hiyori's mouth that same morning wasn't enough. He has plenty more 'white' to add, and even if he's definitely going to be rushed, that only makes it more exhilarating. His trousers are a perfect fit, the camera held in Tomoe's right hand while it shows them being palmed over by the left. Not yet physically aroused, but unless Hiyori tells him to knock it off, he'll offer an invitation of sorts with nothing but that closed door keeping the bridal party unaware.

Clive Rosfield | Final Fantasy XVI

[flamesofperdition]

[Open to canon and cross-canon alike, also to AUs where that might apply. Clive isn't unfamiliar with the idea of betrothals. Open to the various reasons. Particularly fond of political reasonings. M/F preference. Can avoid spoilers for anyone who may need it.]

[reasonandrime]

[Hi! Do you wanna try an AU where Phoenix Gate didn't happen, the Northern Territories still exist, and Jill and Clive are arranged to be wed to enforce peace as adults instead of Jill being taken as a ward as a child? We could use Ifrit and Shiva too if you wanna have Anabella's dirty little fingers all over it, or we can do one/the other/none.

Alternatively, if you wanna play closer to canon, we could maybe play with the politics between the Iron Kingdom and Sanbreque. Anabella's role would have to be AU'd to hell and back, but I figure she could see Clive as Ifrit, decide to play both the fire/light angle w/ herself and the Emperor and the fire/ice angle w/Clive and Jill (probably without realising it's Jill), and offer the Iron Kingdom control over Rosaria or, I don't know, something in exchange for Shiva?]
