Summary
Arranged Marriage AU. Tags and warnings will be added as necessary.
Armitage finds himself in a marriage he doesn't want to a man that he hates. At least it will be beneficial for his military career, so long as he can survive his spouse's unpredictable temperament and his own, sometimes deadly ambitions.

“Smile, General. Everyone is watching.”
Armitage shot him a vitriolic glance before returning to look straight ahead. He would conduct himself with grace and dignity, but he refused to smile while his freedoms were stripped from him. Ren might be able to conceal himself beneath a mask, but Armitage had no such options presented to him. The best he could manage was neutrality instead of outright hostility, and Ren was lucky to have that. Though even neutrality was difficult when he had to present his hand for the binding. It was so distasteful to stand there with his hand on top of Ren’s while the officiant wrapped them together to symbolize their lifelong bond that Armitage felt the bile rise in his throat uncontrollably. At least they both wore gloves and didn’t actually have to touch one another. At least the ceremony didn’t end with a kiss.
