Note:  I am open to both fluff or dark.  Or something with elements of each.

Two warring kingdoms/states/civilizations/planets have finally reached a treaty agreement, to be sealed by the union of two royals in matrimony, but there is bad faith on both sides.  My character's father has chosen to send a son instead of a daughter, and to use the presumed refusal to declare the treaty voided by the other side (There is no corresponding daughter on the other side).  On the other side, spies have uncovered the plot, so there is a contingency plan: the marriage will go forward, and magic/science will be used to ensure that the treaty is not broken, but a good dose of diplomatic humiliation will ensue.  Is your character going to woo his new 'bride' to his side or use the proposed treachery as a way to indulge some darker desires?  Are either of them aware of the depths of the plotting?  Will there be more attempts to break the treaty?

Note:  My character will not arrive in disguise.  He will simply be the only noble in the diplomatic transport, and will have been told that he's to be a peace-emissary.  I'm generally neutral on cross-dressing, but the (failed) intent is to create an incident, not to portray my character as a daughter.

Things I am interested in for this story:
  • Hurt/Comfort (emotional):  My character will come to realize that his father basically used him as a pawn.  He's going to have to pick up the pieces somehow.  (This could be genuine trust-building or Stockholm-ish)
  • 'Corruption':  The extent of this depends on whether we do a fluffy pairing or a darker one.  Fluffy would be simply introducing my character to life beyond his constrained upbringing (remember that his father assumed that offering a son instead of a daughter would cause a breach in the treaty.)  I have some limits on how far 'dark' can go, please read my O/Os.
  • A bit of intrigue:  It's going to be clear that my character's father's plan didn't work.  Let's brainstorm some other reactions to the acceptance of the marriage!

Things I am open to:

  • Fantasy or alien races/cultures:  Maybe my character is from a coastal kingdom and yours is from a domed city under the waves.  Maybe my character's father is a planetary colonial governor and your character belongs to the native population (the supposed breach of the 'treaty' would be a reason to call in imperial forces to deal with the 'hostile' natives).  Lots of possibilities.
  • Unusual equipment:  I'm including toys in this (we have magic and/or tech – someone's figured out how to use this in the bedroom...), but in keeping with the above, there is also the possibility for additional surprises when our characters do get naked.
  • Any of my other ons, naturally.

Things I am not interested in:
  • Sissification/Bimbofication:  My character might be dressed up for the public ceremony (negotiable), but he will not become a 'proper little wife'.
