#apothecary soap sounds fun actually

[brewed-pangolin]

Wait wait wait, nobleman soap in an arranged marriage who's bratty, ill-tempered who can't give him an heir. So his nosy parents bring in surrogate!reader who immediately catches soaps eye. During her pregnancy, he gets to know her more and more. He falls head over heels for her. He never wanted this marriage or his noble title. He's willing to give it all up for you. He's always been good with chemistry and alchemy, maybe he'll start an apothecary somewhere far away. Or become a humble blacksmith. As long as it means, he can be with you and your child. You are all he wants now.

Just a little idea if you get the time

I could absolutely see a medieval/nobleman Soap opening up an apothecary somewhere deep in the hills.

Man has an inquisitive mind. Loves chemistry and combining different fragrances, herbs, medicines, and the like. And y'know he's going to be a tea making extraordinaire. That's a given.

Just picturing him tending to his garden on a warm spring day. All while you, his stolen love, sit comfortably on the porch. One hand and across your swollen belly with a cup of his expert tea in the other. The subtle creaking of the chair as you rock yourself to a gentle rhythm that adds to the constant singing of birds around your cottage tucked away from the world.
