Fics like All Hearts Beat in the Dark

“We would like to offer our sincere condolences regarding the passing of your husband,” Ethrand states in a lofty drawl. Julien sees Aranessa’s jaw go taut. “Thank you for thinking of us in our time of mourning,” she grates out. “Of all Houses, House Tachonis would never seek to downplay or invalidate the importance of a mourning period. However, certain circumstances warrant a loosening of the proscribed timelines.” Julien’s jaw falls ajar. He can't possibly mean...? “I fear I fail to understand you," Aranessa hisses. "Elaborate.” “All this recent unpleasantness was the consequence of years of unfortunate misunderstandings between our two houses. In contravention of what one might expect, I am pleased to say that I am here with an entreaty of peace.” Aranessa allows a long silence to transpire, one that seems to make even Ethrand uncomfortable. “I will hear the details.” “In exchange for a lasting peace, we only seek to solemnize this new alliance with a vow.” Ethrand smirks. “Accordingly, my father offers you the hand of my brother Occtis in marriage.” Julien looks down at the rug. If he doesn’t look down at the rug, he’s going to start shouting.
