TBH I fantasized about this for exactly this reason growing up. So you're not alone.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you, OP. It can be a fun trope.

[(Anonymous)]

Why is the one guy dressed like he's from the 18th century and the others not? WTF is going on?

[(Anonymous)]

I Series of Unfortunate Events. Count Olaf wants to marry his very very young ward so that he can take her money and then kill her off.

He's dressed that way because he's theatrical as all fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

Literally theatrical as fuck too - it's been ages since I read it, but wasn't their marriage part of a play he was (at least pretending to be) staging?

[(Anonymous)]

yeah as I recall (at least in the Netflix series) the play was fake, but he intended the marriage to be real.

[(Anonymous)]

Usually the trope does it for me too, OP, but not for the particular example you chose in your picture.

[(Anonymous)]

I always liked (and still like) this trope, but only if the forcing explicitly stops before they sleep together, and only if the villain is genuinely attracted to/intigued by the heroine. If it’s all about money or power or whatever, or the villain rapes the heroine, blech.

[(Anonymous)]

Weird how for me it has never been about genuine affection/interest but always about power and possessing another person. But then again this also my only fantasy involving marriage, ever, so maybe I just have issues with the whole concept of matrimony.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT—oh, I definitely have issues with the idea of marriage, but even in fantasy, someone being forced/raped squicks me out, and even more, the idea of someone kidnapping and raping someone they’re not even attracted to* just for power/control/money/whatever.

*Rape is about control not attraction yeah I know

[(Anonymous)]

I like the obsessive love aspect of this dynamic, as well as enemies to friends trope, preferably with power imbalance dealt with somewhere towards the end. I also like when the overlord is reformed or not very evil. There's a Loki Tony fic along these lines - Fractals of a Criminal Mind by STARSdidathing.

[(Anonymous)]

This trope is one of my favorites, but then I do love the arranged marriage trope anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Thiiiiiiis. So much.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeahhh. I get kinda embarrassed watching the movie with anyone for this very reason.

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone have any fics recs that feature this trope?

A Bed of Thorns isn’t as heavy on the noncon as it might be, in that the heroine always expected to be made to marry someone, whether she loved them or not, but she’d always assumed it would be someone a little more... human.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're into Legend of Zelda, in this case Zelda/Ganondorf, there's a webcomic that's... kinda this trope? It's not forced marriage, but it is arranged marriage. http://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/139806271367/a-tale-of-two-rulers-archive-post
