Forced to marry each other.

╚══✦•☽•✦══╝

Rival Noble Heiress x Fire Lord

slow-burn

angst ✦ tension ✦ enemies to reluctant bond

__________________________________________________

You are forced into marriage with Zuko, the Fire Lord, after years of rivalry with him since childhood where neither of you ever backed down. In the throne room, he makes it clear it is not a real marriage, only a command, and you both reject any expectation of closeness. Afterwards, you are left under the same palace roof, stuck in tense silence, neither of you sure how to define what this forced bond is becoming.
