Apr. 27th, 2020 08:24 pmSo...It's been a while. I was asked to share some recs by eneri, so here they are.

janewestin (Miranda/Andy)
Andy is working as the managing editor of Cellular Function, a science journal, when Cassidy Priestley's article is submitted to her journal.
Take Me to the River byspacedmuch (Miranda/Andy)
"With her marriage now in ruins, Andy decides to return to New York to get some answers and hopefully a fresh start. However, things don't go entirely according to plan."
I think these publishing what if's are not new but are new to my recs. :)
Game of Thrones
For Fear Tonight Is All bysilberias (Oberyn Martell/Ellaria Sand/Sansa Stark)
"Tyrion knew, as he gazed up at the dark skinned Martell man that this was perhaps his only chance to spirit Sansa out of King's Landing and away from his father's greedy fingers. Tywin Lannister would have married the girl himself if he felt he could have gotten away with it, and so Tyrion knew his own marriage was no protection to Ned Stark's daughter whatsoever.'Invite her, demand her, steal her--whatever you choose, Prince Oberyn, choose it soon. Else my lady wife shall break into more pieces than the stars.'"
Such an fascinating fork in the road, and the world building and pacing keeps it interesting.
Star Wars
landscape with a blur of conquerors bydiasterisms (Rey/Kylo)
Rey finds her lost family when she finds an ancient Jedi artifact, and regains her place as Chume'da, the heir of a matriarch-led society. Heirs must marry, and marry well.
A novel-length story about finding lost family, arranged marriage tropes and interesting narratives and world building. This was the one work I kept thinking about as I watched the latest installment of the Star Wars movie franchise.
World of Warcraft
Last Resort bysniperct (Jaina Proudmoore/Sylvanas Windrunner)
"The war has not gone well for anyone. The Alliance has three months left before collapse. The Horde is not much better off. With neither victory or death as options, Sylvanas proposes an alternative. A treaty, to ease tensions and open borders, with a political hostage to ensure that both sides stay in line. A marriage with many political implications and Sylvanas would only accept one person. Jaina Proudmoore. And Jaina Proudmoore made for the perfect hostage. If the Alliance moves wrong, Jaina dies. The Horde attacks, and Jaina reduces Orgrimmar to a wisp of a memory in the minds of children. Of course, no one expected Sylvanas and Jaina to be anything more than uneasy partners with each other, least of all Sylvanas and Jaina..."
This was another memorable political marriage trope story that had some interesting tug and pulls.
