Arranged Marriage AU. Give me CR, and any optional thoughts, I AU it. Or I'll try.

Thrawn and Eli

raine and julian in a situation where they have to outwardly present as lovebirds. then when it starts to become real feelings julian is like haha good acting well done but uhhh we're not being observed you don't have to
until raine grabs him by the ears like NO THIS IS REAL YOU DOLT

arwingyoshi AU where one of their cultures marries for political power or military rank and one of them is shoved off onto the other to grant that boon since one has resources the other needs and vice versa?

fire toad I love it.. x3

I imagine Eli is the one getting shoved at Thrawn

or Eli volunteers to do it, because he's selfless like that

fire toad Raine shakes him and tries not to cry saying "don't you dare call my feelings fake" and tugs at him.

Cor was forced to marry Raine either to save the cat from a disaster arrangement...or he had to be saved from one himself

but he tried to make it work, even if his duties keep him away from Raine much of the time.

the only way to get it through his thick skull is to threaten tears tbh

on the bright side, tho, Raine would become a welcomed guest at the Citadel because Regis wants to become friends with his brother-in-arms-in-law

fire toad Raine doesn't need to threaten tears, thank you. It's a promise.

alternative sad ver: Cazador just compels that marriage into actuality

falsdkfjajds FAIR

CaptainAkaRed Raine works very hard to earn that affection and respect!

ᴬ⭐ᴵᴼᴺ All the while Raine plots to stab Cazador in the throat with blessed silver and then stake him.

And then burn the body

atta cat

Catte loves free will and the right to choose

Is catte. Will settle for none else

Thrawn and Eli did get shoved at each other for an arranged marriage, for whatever reason, Thrawn assures Eli that they don't have to do anything he doesn't want to and will respect Eli's boundaries

(and of course things happen and feelings develop)

oh yes, absolutely <3

Maybe marriage of convenience - Eli needs to be married off, and Thrawn needs research into another species or something.

I could see that happening

or perhaps the Mitth family is willing to open up trade deals with the Vanto family but the condition is that someone needs to marry their currently unwed son, and Thrawn's the only one the Mitth are willing to let marry an alien

omg <3

Ugh I want to do this with Byleth and my OC.
