Summary
I understand that Loial is the god of love, but why on earth would Violet need to go alone or send a couple as ambassadors? After everything that happened in my second and third year at Basgiath, dating was the very last thing on my mind.
And then Sloane Mairi, of all people, offered to be my fake girlfriend.

You know, in one of his letters Liam wrote;
You're going to love Violet. She's smart and stubborn.
Reminds me a lot of you, actually.Sloane chuckled, smiling at Violet. “Do you think he meant both of us climbing our respective wingleader like a tree?”
Turns out, Violet and Sloane are really similar, not just in the way Liam thought they would be.

Summary
Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she’s spent the last decade exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do little besides mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.
Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.
****
(Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)
