trope_bingo. Combines the tropes AU - Historical and Fake Relationship. Set in an AU of the colonial Caribbean (that probably owes more to PoTC than anything that actually happened in history). Thanks to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
renay for helping nurture the idea into a real plot bunny. I think this actually wants to be a 50,000 word epic romance, but I have no time for that right now. Maybe I'll come back to it someday, because I think it would be a blast.
Also on AO3
Rain had threatened over the skies of Dalmasca Island all day, but out the window of the stairwell, sun filtered through a break in the clouds. Ashe Bennington paused halfway down the stairs to push back the lace curtain and take a better look at the beams of sunlight dancing over the swell of waves. Rough water meant a storm was surely on the way, making this glimpse of sun all the more precious.
With a sigh, she let the curtain go. Her father was expecting her; best not to delay him further. She descended the rest of the staircase and nodded at the servants as she passed the hall, then knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in," her father called out, and Ashe entered the room. Her father -- Raminas Bennington, governor of Dalmasca -- rose from his seat, a warm smile beneath his graying beard. "Good morning, Ashelia."
( 'Good morning, Father.' )
