Summary
House Davinos is in debt. House Halovar has wealth―as well as an increasingly desperate need to improve public opinion on their church’s traditional hostility toward faerie kind. Marrying into a faerie-blessed family, especially one which needs to quietly solve their financial troubles, is simply good business.
Julien, after spending several years being a disappointment to his father, is finally asked to step up and secure this alliance―he will be marrying the eldest Halovar son, Wicander.
Occtis, a pariah of his own family and Wicander’s closest friend, is dedicated to his studies and has all but withdrawn from high society―he has no particular interest in marriage, or any attention at all.
Neither Occtis nor Julien expect their chance meeting at a ball, nor the instant, magnetic connection that they share. And the irresistible risk that this connection presents, is one that neither of them is prepared for.
Also known as the regency AU I simply needed to get out of my brain ☕

Summary
For as long as he can remember, Zuko knew he would have no say in who he would marry. Anyone familiar with basic royal customs would realize it as well. Marriage wasn’t a luxury or some grand display of love; marriage was for convenience and a power move if done correctly. It meant nothing to Zuko. He was raised with the knowledge that he would one day be sent off to live with a stranger for the sake of his nation, and it didn’t matter if he ended up happy or not. His happiness didn't matter.
All this to say, when his father tells him that he is to marry a stranger from the Southern Water Tribe and use their marriage as an opportunity to spy on the enemy, Zuko knows he has no choice. It's just...he didn't expect this stranger to be so kind to him.
