Ten/Martha + Bridgerton AU (inspo)
Dearest reader,
The season has only just begun, and the ton is already abuzz over a most peculiar development. It appears Lady Martha Jones has captured the interest of the Duke of Lungbarrow. After several dances in ballrooms and discussions at dinner parties, noted by many a curious onlooker, there can be no doubt about it: the Duke is courting the young miss.
The hopes of mamas everywhere may be crushed for a second time. It was a year ago, after all, that the Duke of Lungbarrow had become engaged to the Honorable Rose Tyler. Though we all remember how that match fared. Since then, the Duke has been adamant that he will never marry. Lady Martha Jones's fine features, however, have turned his head—and perhaps changed his intentions as well.
This must be wonderful news for her mama, who has been particularly vocal about procuring a suitable match for her second daughter this season. But has the Duke finally come out of the sullens and committed himself to finding a wife? This author cannot say for certain. Rest assured, I will be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown

au where the day of unity isn't until decades later and luz never comes to the boiling isles. willow somehow still gets transferred to the plant track and gets really good at her craft. amity never learns that bullying is bad, actually and they never reconciled in school.
and years later, blight industries is the most affluent company on the isles. odalia continues to be allergic to letting amity, who is her only child at this point to not run away from home the moment they turned 18 and cut all contact, associate with witches of "lower social standing."
so eventually when odalia tells amity that she's going to find her a nice respectable spouse amity just rolls her eyes and goes with it. maybe its some other heir to a big company. maybe it's a captain from the emperor's coven. maybe it's even the golden guard, if hunter managed to survive that long.
and then eventually she finds out that her mother has been trying to get her a date with PLANT COVEN HEAD WILLOW PARK
you've seen the countless amity x hunter miserable arranged marriage aus get ready for the amillow friends to enemies to arranged marriage to friends again to lovers 50k slowburn

an incomplete list of Vaguely Hilarious Things That Have Happened Because I Am The First And Only Woman (loose term) In My Family/Community Who Is Over 25, Unmarried, And A Crossdresser:
-my mumani, mamu, and nani called up my baba to tell him that I am an “admi jaisi aurat” (”woman who is like a man”)
-multiple guests at a family friend’s wedding called up my chacha and my baba to complain about my clothing and mannerisms (I wore a black, gold, and white men’s shalwar kurta, a red hijab, and a gold nose ring. the horror! the disrespect! the fascination that a young woman guest had with me and my clothes until she finally came up to me to breathlessly compliment me and say she wished she could wear something cut like that!)
-my chacha’s mother called him several times to interrogate him all the way from bombay about my status as unmarried bc she keeps a list of every unmarried woman starting at 18 years old and I am the only person still on that list and she cannot fathom why
-my nani. only living grandparent I have (inshallah she will live a long time). I don’t think I have to elaborate on this point lmao
-family friend brought a rishta for me. he has an mba and studied in australia and the uk and I am old so why would I say no? (I said no. while cackling.)
-my amma’s cousin called multiple times to ask me what type of husband I want and only gave up when I gave several half rude half joking answers in a row. this woman then brought a rishta from my amma’s phuphi’s co-wife for her son bc he is a doctor and I am old so why would I say no? (I said no. vehemently.)
-my phuphi who lives in garhwal has started wearing a men’s kurta sometimes. she says she finds it more comfortable and likes the pockets. my baba told her that I wear men’s clothes too and she was very happy and said “good! who will tell us no?”
-my baba’s khala refers to herself as the man of the house/other masculine roles. my baba said that’s what I do too. she said it’s about personality [dismissive wave at her husband] “yeh toh lallu panju hai. main ghar ka admi hoon, main ‘mens log’ hoon”
-multiple total strangers just said “why??” when my baba said I am unmarried
-different total stranger told my baba that shaadi is fard so he should force me to get married
-my baba’s friend defended me in the above situation and said that one of the four imams never married so shut the hell up
-above situation ended in the men all going to a literal sheikh to ask him about it. sheikh turned out to be chill and was on my side. take THAT, total stranger
-multiple girls have used me as an example of why they shouldn’t have to get married young, or at all. I know for sure that at least one father has accepted that argument and is not pressuring his daughter to get married now. hooray!
-kicked out of a restaurant. we found a better place that sold really good kanafeh so it was a good thing in the end. I will say I don’t deal with as much nonsense in muslim/desi shops or restaurants as one would expect. the worst of it on a regular basis is other customers assuming I am male and then getting rude or uncomfortable if they realize that I am not. staff has never been rude in any place except for the one time that I got kicked out
-women refusing to pray next to me or speak to me at the masjid (shoutout to the older lady who physically grabbed one lady by the shoulders and said SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, SISTER, FILL THE LINE, and made her stand next to me properly)
