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?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

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.

Examples/recommendations, OP?

I want recs

[iceyred]

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.

[garrideb]

I'm not the OP, but I really, really love this XMFC modern British royalty AU:

That's the fic that immediately came to mind when I read this secret. Sooo good.

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)]

Yeah, or slave/harem fic in disguise.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say they're my favorite, but I love royalty AUs! :D

[elaminator]

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)]

Modern royality AUs, fantasy royality AUs, period royality AUs, or all the above?

[(Anonymous)]

I do enjoy a royalty AU.

....this gives me an idea.....

Never heard of this theme thanks!!!!!!

I am not

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.

[fishnchips]

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)]

Addendum: Well, there's kinda-sorta one arranged marriage for a main character, but it's over very quickly (spoilers).
