Fun Concept that randomly spurred to me when talking to @martincrushcameback
Essentially, Royal AU - Arranged Marriage. Zach comes from a very strict kingdom of war mongers, a kingdom run by his father. Zach had always been sickly, and so eventually Zach’s father essentially pawns him off to the Kingdom of Beasts, hoping to at least get an ally out of the deal, but mostly to force his son into a Kingdom that would probably get him killed. All to teach him responsibility, and a consequence to being a failure. However, the Kingdom of Beasts aren’t as beastly as rumors have them out to be.
Zach gets married off to Chris, expecting to essentially lose every bit of his humanity left, to die or get tortured and mauled by the beasts. And yet, he’s met with kindness. He’s welcomed into the pack. What a strange Kingdom it is.
(another fic i hope to write! more notes under the cut)
I am chewing on this au with you I love the concept so much and we had a good time talking about Zach suffering and learning to be accepted.
