NGC Recs Blind Dates & Arranged Marriages
Collection for stories involving any sort of relationships arranged by others. Basically a collection for situations like arranged marriage, political marriages, dating shows, blind dates, and variations of them. Also includes marriage challenges such as Cinderella’s ‘I will marry the girl who fits this slipper’ and Atalanta’s refusal to marry anyone who couldn’t beat her in a race.
The endgame relationship doesn’t necessarily have to be those involved in the arrangements, but usually at least one will be. Exceptions are due to story significance and vibes.

Summary
Prince Sinon breaks the silence shortly after, his voice quieter as if to ease them both back into speaking. “You know,” he begins, and Marius glances at him. Prince Sinon’s gaze is still fixed on the magical fire. The warm glow casts dancing light and shadow across his profile. “That was nice. Your laugh, I mean - I think that was the first time I’ve heard it.”
Of all the things Marius was anticipating, so sincere a compliment was not among them. He flounders for a response, and when he doesn’t find the words right away, Prince Sinon turns to face him - questioning expression breaking into a grin. “Your blush is nice, too, though this is far from the first time I’ve seen it.”
Now that Prince Sinon has called attention to it, Marius feels the heat on his cheeks and is sure it’s deepened. Gods, this man.

Summary
In which the Harbingers are all meddling uncles and aunties, and Tartaglia is the spoiled baby of the group (whether he likes to admit it or not). As uncles and aunties, how can they not intervene (read: swoop in like overprotective mama and papa bears) when they catch wind that not only is their youngest upset after his Liyue trip, but that the reason he's upset has to do with this mysterious "Mr. Zhongli" of Liyue?

Summary
The system abandoned him with nothing but a cryptic message. It took Shen Qingqiu days to realize that it was referring to a single throwaway line in a filler chapter.
He could have done with a bit more warning about being married.
