↳ Family Trees + House Of York, Tudor & Stuart (15th - 17th Century)

Idk what I’m supposed to title this.

I just found this and thought it was cool

“So you’ve heard, then?”

“That our parents want us to get married? Yes, I’ve heard.”

The protagonist lounged in their travelling tent, a glass of wine in hand. They were, in their mind, the very picture of regal despondency. 

“You don’t seem happy about it,” said the protagonist’s friend – their fiancé, now, they supposed.

“Are you?”

Their friend meandered further into the tent, looking over the protagonist’s books. “I don’t know. I guess if I have to be with someone …” A shrug. “It may be my best option for it to be you.”

“Your passion is overwhelming,” the protagonist deadpanned.

Their friend gave a wan smile. “I’m just trying to face facts.”

“Do you love me?”

Their friend looked up in surprise. 

It normally would have been embarrassing, to ask such a question so bluntly. But now, more than ever, was the time to have all their cards on the table.

To their friend’s credit, they didn’t shy away. “No,” they said. “Or … yes. But not how you mean.”

The protagonist took in a breath. “Explain.”

Their friend settled onto the sedan across from them, and was silent. The protagonist thought for a moment that they wouldn’t answer at all. But then they said, “If I could love anyone like that, it would be you.”

“But you can’t.”

Their friend cast their eyes over. “I’ve long suspected you of being the same.”

The protagonist leaned back, staring at the tarp ceiling. “Somewhat. I don’t feel romantic love, this is true. But I do feel …” They smiled to themself. “I find people sexually interesting, you could say.”

Their friend stilled. “Oh.”

“Do you think me a whore, for this?”

“No.” Their friend’s response was quick, and certain. It startled the protagonist.

A small lock of dread released in their heart. They smiled. “I’m glad to hear it.”

Their friend cleared their throat. “Do you find me … interesting?”

The protagonist raised their brows. But, well, fair enough. Cards on the table.

“Yes,” they said, in all honesty.

Their friend nodded, seeming to pay close attention to the woven rugs splayed on the grass.

“I take it the feeling is not mutual.”

Their friend rubbed the back of their neck. “Do you think me cold, for not being able to feel any of it?”

“Never.”

Their friend nodded again.

But that did leave one question …

“Marriages usually involve sex,” the protagonist said. They placed their wine on the end table, leaning forward. “How were you planning to deal with that?”

Their friend shrugged. “Every station comes with its chores, I suppose.”

Horror washed over the protagonist.

“The wedding isn’t happening,” they said, bursting upwards. “I will speak with my father, I will – ”

“You will bring your country to ruin,” their friend said, rising to meet them. “Your kingdom needs this alliance even more than mine.”

“I will not take someone who is unwilling.”

Their friend stepped closer, and took the protagonist’s hand. “I would be willing.”

“Would you? Would you truly?”

Their friend faltered.

“I could not do that,” the protagonist said. “Not to anyone.” They squeezed their friend’s fingers. “And never to you.”

“So what, then?” Their friend met their gaze. “You’ll resign yourself to a life of celibacy? Because this marriage is happening, whether we like it or not.”

Now it was the protagonist’s turn to falter for words.

They both stayed like that for a time, stuck.

Then, a light flicked on in their friend’s eyes. “What if we got married, but as friends?”

The protagonist huffed out a laugh. “That’s an oxymoron, if I’ve ever heard one.”

“No, I’m serious.” Their friend took their other hand. “A marriage in name, but in practice …”

They dropped down to one knee, grinning. “[Protagonist], will you do me the honour of being my friend?”

The protagonist had to smile, in spite of themself. “What are you even suggesting?”

“We do the ceremony. Our kingdoms join. But we have separate beds. Separate rooms, even. And you can have a harem, with as many interesting people as you’d like. And I …” Their smile changed from scheming to sincere. “I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.”

The protagonist blinked. The idea sounded crazy, but …

“It could work.”

The next day, the two of them informed their parents the betrothal was happily accepted.

THE SP FANPACK

Alrighty, since we don't have one of these that I've seen before, here is a link to a Google Drive with some essential resources for fic writers in this fandom. This started out as just the SP timeline spite project to show up Landy but it sort of. Spiralled wildly out of control because I deal with tanking mental health by hyperfocusing on projects I can control down to extreme details ayyyyy

This fandom is generally a toxic hell-pit in my experience and this project is intended to make everyone's time here a little better. So yes, I am okay with everyone using these resources, including the people I have blocked, and the people who have blocked me, on two conditions. Be civil and credit me/link back to the Fanpack GDrive so others can use it too. If you see this on someone else's blog and are wondering if I'd mind you, specifically, using it - as long as you follow those two rules, you go right ahead. Enjoy.

Contains:

The SP Timeline - now available either in a single doc or in separate era-specific docs for ease of searching. If you have an OC who was included in the books, and you'd like me to include their birthdate/birth year, let me know.

Character Gallery - useful both for quickly looking up canon descriptions and for realising that Landy apparently has like three (3) physical descriptions total at his disposal. I added this while working on the SP Faces project, because I could not remember anything about any of the minor characters, and wanted a quick reference on hand.

Sanctuaries Overview - in case anyone wants to write a fic set outside Ireland. Now you can quickly reference who's running your chosen country, and who's working for that Sanctuary.

SP Faces - A folder of character headshots. These are all just my versions at the minute, but if you'd like to have yours added, let me know! Good for if you're like me, and suck at picturing characters in your head.

If you think of a resource you'd like to have available, or you've already made one you'd like to have included, shoot me a message. I don't get paid for this, so I won't guarantee anything, but the next time I have a breakdown I might end up churning out whatever it is you want to see. ✌🏼

I have Ko-Fi now, if you like my content

Some memes because I was bored and there is too much memes about Herongraystairs and not enough about everybody else

You ever think about how they made the minions immortal so that they wouldn’t have to explain how they reproduce
