au where Aerys & Rhaella secretly marry Lyarra & Rickard in a bid for each couple to escape their mutually unwanted arranged marriages
#when it comes to canon it's likely that rickard & lyarra were actually a love match but it's my au & I can do what I want with it#here I don't imagine either rickard or lyarra necessarily *hating* the thought of marrying one another. they're fine with it mostly.#but that's all they are. just fine with it. comfortable in the inevitable predictability that will be their marriage#but when the crown prince & princess of the seven kingdoms practically serve themselves up in their desperation? oh everything changes#we know that canon rickard had southern aspirations so he would absolutely jump at the chance to marry the king's one & only daughter#& we know basically nothing about lyarra but I like to imagine her being a non or less tomboyish lyanna.#so very spirited & very desperate for a life beyond the one set out for her. and she'd be queen! queen!#so yeah. they all throw caution to the wind & get married in a secret double ceremony. they reveal themselves to court the morning after#maybe this all is even happening not long before aerys & rhaella are meant to get married? when else would the starks be at court after all#aerys ii is of course very very pissed. the rest of the royal family is kind of into it though.#after all this is the era where practically every targaryen was shirking expectation to make the matches they wanted to.#aerys & rhaella are just following by example#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#aerys targaryen#aerys iii targaryen#rhaella targaryen#rickard stark#lyarra stark#au
