Fics like Beneath the skin

King Viserys suggests a marriage between Gwayne Hightower and the third daughter of Lord Bolton. A decision no one understands. The Hightowers are the most devout house of the Sept, having built their power around the Faith, they live in a city of marble and light. The Boltons worship the Old Gods, hang human skins from their castle walls, and are known as one of the most bloodthirsty houses in the Seven Kingdoms. The South views the Boltons as barbarians, the mere suggestion borders on sinful. Gwayne looks at the woman assigned to him and has no idea what to do with her. She does not speak, she does not smile, she does not meet his gaze. She is cold, distant, austere. There is no flirting, no interest, nothing. He is supposed to court her, but he doesn't even know where to begin. She looks at Gwayne and understands just as little. A knight of the South, a man who prays to gods she does not know. Who lives in a city where everything is bright and false. Who smiles too much, who talks too much. It is a marriage no one asked for, no one wants, and makes no sense. And yet, it happens.
