Interesting. I can't say as I've ever read any royalty AU... what sort of royalty are we talking here, real countries or fantasy kingdoms?

I can think of a couple I've read offhand - one was a fantasy kingdom with Mass Effect characters, and a couple of Hobbit Modern AUs with a fictional countries in the Real World. The latter however were more modern retellings of The Hobbit, usually with Thorin and others driven out of their kingdom by a person or terrorist group with the name "Smaug" somehow coming up.

I want recs

Seriously. Give me your recs for royalty au fics. I'm willing to bet that many of them feature pimped out princess/queen dresses, and I want that.

I don't know about pimped out dresses, but I think the Specters had pimped out armour. It's a Mass Effect fantasy Royalty AU, Kaidan Alenko/Male Shepard as main pairing. I thought it good enough to put in my bookmarks at least.

All the ones I've seen are arranged marriage +50 chapters of drama while they discover that noooo they actually looove each other.
...so apparently you've been lucky with finding the interesting royalty AUs

(Anonymous) 2015-11-18 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, or slave/harem fic in disguise.

(Anonymous) 2015-11-18 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say they're my favorite, but I love royalty AUs! :D

I don't find them more interesting, but those are usually my favorite AU's. I absolutely adore them and devour them like candy, lol.

I haven't seen a good one in quite some time. :(

(Anonymous) 2015-11-18 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Modern royality AUs, fantasy royality AUs, period royality AUs, or all the above?

(Anonymous) 2015-11-18 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I do enjoy a royalty AU.

I am not <I.against</I> them, per se, but like everything, they can be done well or done horrendously. The ones done well are good.

I'm not too fond of these because they usually include an "arranged marriage" plot and in slash stories, this is more often than not executed terribly (and has a higher than normal chance of untagged mpreg, apparently).

If anyone's into Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, here's a royalty AU fic with loads of political intrigue, pretty dresses, warring nations, and no arranged marriages (at least, none between main characters): http://stargate-ren.livejournal.com/8085.html

(Anonymous) 2015-11-19 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Addendum: Well, there's kinda-sorta one arranged marriage for a main character, but it's over very quickly (spoilers).
