Fics like A Thread of Fate

Alistair Theirin never wanted to be king, but he wasn’t exactly able to say no when Sereda Aeducan won the Landsmeet in his favor. Then she died slaying the archdemon, leaving him to run a country with no idea how that was supposed to work. So far it feels like he’s mostly made a lot of educated guesses and leaned heavily on his regent, but Eamon’s latest scheme involves a marriage contract and it might be the craziest thing Alistair has ever, however reluctantly, agreed to. Or maybe it will be the best. Nalissa Cousland barely escaped the sacking of Highever with her life, and after months trying to destabilize Howe’s hold on her people, spent the rest of the Blight as a prisoner of war in Fort Drakon. She still hasn’t come to terms with the scars on her body or the ones in her mind and she doesn’t know that she ever will. But when she receives a proposition from the one man in Ferelden more powerful than her brother, she may have little choice but to try. And hope her past is done trying to kill her, even if it isn’t. First person POV, alternating between Alistair and Nalissa. Arranged marriage AU, canon if you squint. Rating for language, PTSD symptoms, violence, NSFW content. Mind the tags!
