Title: The Wedding Deal
Author: whiskeydaisy
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Pairing/Characters: Legolas/Gimli
Rating: Teen
Length: 1,859
Summary: The House of Mirkwood and the House of Longbeards have long been at odds. The wedding of their scions will forge a new alliance - but Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, can't help wishing for more.
Notes: Inspired by this Mills & Boon cover copy:

“With just two weeks until the wedding, it was too late for Aysha Legolas to back out of marrying Carlo Santangelo Gimli, son of Gloin. Everyone expected her him to be a radiant bride, blissfully entering a marriage of convenience that would unite two powerful families….Aysha Legolas would gain wealth, status - and a fabulously good-looking husband! Only, she he couldn’t ignore two painful facts: one, she he desperately loved Carlo Gimli; two, he clearly had no intention of giving up his glamorous mistress. Could she he convince Carlo Gimli to be more than a convenient bridegroom? They’re gorgeous, they’re glamorous… and they’re getting married!“

(Also used to fill the Forced To Marry square on my trope_bingo card.)
