I think part of the reason I love modern Sansa and Tyrion so much in 'the real Sansa and Tyrion' is because I always imagined them in a modern au as this mega rich celebrity couple that is super high profile but once they got married they simply don't give a shirt about what people think about them
As in Sansa and Tyrion will rock up to the Lannister mansion in a sports car that Sansa just learned how to drive and is 90% likely to crash in Cersei's front porch while Tyrion is totally cheering her on from the passenger seat chanting "Do it! Do it! lady wife! Hit the gas harder!"
Half of the time the tabloids call Sansa Tyrion's child bride and Tyrion's sugar baby. But also they milk the rumors for all it's worth and just purposefully get photographed spend Tywinn's money on outrageously extravagant stuff like a gold statue of the two of them holding hands, realstate that looks like food. Or whatever Hello Kitty matching red carpet outfits say 'child brideeee' all over their front.
Sansa will totally show up to Tyrion's place of work and start war with Daenerys just to get Tyrion to leave early, and Tyrion will totally surprise Sansa on a random day with a diamond stolen out of Tywinn's safe, because he's romantic like that.
And just, like, as a couple, For Sansa stark I just love that Tyrion Lannister would be the most chaotic doting husband for her. And he's the one that I would find the most fun to write about, being Sansa's husband in a modern au.
No offense to all the other options. But you can't deny the absolute chaos Sansa and Tyrion could rain on westeros if they lived in the modern world.
And also, when not making Tywin and Cersei's life miserable for fun. Or harassing Jamie and Brienne to get together already. You bet modern Sansa and Tyrion go to therapy together and totally support each other as abuse survivors 100% of the time.
I can see them as a couple who puts up a front Infront of others of being a chaotic couple who only loves making fun of people they don't like and enjoying the luxury things in life. But in private they are actually a very wise and sensitive married couple who believe in supportive partnership and go to therapy together once a week to work trough their individual traumas.
Also their relationship with the Starks would be so fun. Because again, Sansa marrying an older guy would totally scandalize her loving parents and she low key lives for it, because she played by the rules all her life and was unhappy but now her career is finally untouchable and she's Tyrion's pampered wife, so she's living her best life unapologetically.
Tyrion on the other hand loves the Starks even if Ned and Catelyn treat him like a cradle robber. And Sansa's siblings just like him for the chaos. They all accept him in their own way and he is totally team Stark.
Cue Tyrion with a direwolf t-shirt parading himself all over Casterly Rock wearing a baseball cap that says WHIPPED 4 WIFE
So yeah this is sort of how I see modern Sanrion in the reality tv au. Which is why they got offered a reality tv show in the first place. As a celebrity couple they would be way more entertaining than any other reality marriage
