This is a new forced marriage fic, written for this year's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
snarry_games. In this story (a post-DH fixit), Harry discovers, much to his surprise, that the magical contract naming him as head of the Black family is stipulating that he marry the head of the Prince family, one very-much-not-dead Severus Snape or pay the penalty (and there will be one). First, however, he'll have to track Snape down...
This story is very cute, and as I said, I do love a good forced marriage story! The secondary characters are very well handled (Rigel Black representing the family is just priceless). Harry and Snape manage to overcome the obligatory nature of their bond, as the best forced bond fics always show, and we can really feel for their developing relationship to each other: the choice you are constrained to make can still be made of your own free will, as it is here.
