extemporally

Recently I have been passing the time by emailing people about arranged marriage AUs and then telling them the story and pretending it's not fic (well, it still isn't actually).

But my point is that it SHOULD BE. It's like, ARRANGED MARRIAGE AUS. There is a war! And Ryan and Brendon have to get married for fear of conscription, and Ryan is angry and resentful about having been pulled out of college and being forced to marry some kid he's only ever seen at stupid parties, and really Brendon has always been in stupid unrequited love with the Ryan he's never really known.

(Here is a tiny snippet I was emailing to strange_bt_true -- no, wait, "snippet" implies there is some more of it, which there isn't:)

I appreciate all arranged marriage AUs, I really really do, but what I would like to know is why doesn't anyone ever write about how hard it is? I mean, having to give up Your Entire Life to marry someone you don't know, and so on.

I feel that for the social good everyone should think long and hard about this question.

In other news (and I am saying this purely for the sake of the AWFUL JOKE I am now about to deliver), today I felt happy. And then I felt sad. I suppose this means I'm sappy. *groan*
