Askerian
Theme: forced marriage, arranged marriage, asexual & demisexual characters
Summary: "Oh," Izuna said -- delicately, while studiously reading his folder, "I'm afraid we need someone with a ... strong personality for Naohime."
"Why's that?" Hashirama replied, just as painfully polite.
The daimyo's mediator kept watching them and scratching little pointy words in his notebook.
"Because if your man doesn't prove that he's dangerous and has the personality to use it on her if she pushes him, it's going to turn abusive," Madara drawled.
Hashirama stared at him for a blank second. The daimyo's envoy stopped writing; even his stone-faced Aburame bodyguard arched her eyebrows over her darkened spectacles.
Tobirama stretched out across the table without another word to take back one of the folders Izuna had spread around him.
--
The daimyo is over the whole Uchiha/Senju war. They're going to become one people if they know what's good for them.
Madara hates it enough without having to marry a woman too.
Reccer's Notes: Fun oneshot! Hot, with a really interesting relationship dynamic, and I also love how it touches on gray asexuality <3

whimbrel
prettygoodwordwhimbrel (HWIM-bruhl, WIM-bruhl) - n., either of two curlews (Numenius phaeopus and N. hudsonicus), breeding in northern subarctic regions and having a long, downward-curving bill.
_Chiloe.jpg/500px-Hudsonian_whimbrel_(Numenius_hudsonicus)_Chiloe.jpg)
Thanks, WikiMedia!
That one being the Hudsonian whimbrel that breeds in North America, the other being the Eurasian whimbrel, which breeds in, well, Eurasia. The name is attested to the 1530s but its origin is unknown, though the whim- part is speculated to be imitative of its cry (though it's not a close rendering).

Interest check
goodbyebird posting in 3weeks4dreamwidthHey all,
We're in April already! I figured I'd check to see if there's interest in running 3 Weeks For Dreamwidth again this year, and also ask if anybody would like to host some activities in their journals or communities.
Also a good time to start thinking of posts you might want to make, for your hobbies or fandoms or those book reviews you've been meaning to write. After all, the whole point of the fest is to get more activity on DW.
Feel free to sound off and idea storm in the comments :)

Bridgerton: A Red Thread of Convenience by ronandhermy
beatrice_otter posting in fancakeFandom: Bridgerton
Pairings/Characters: Anthony/Kate
Rating: teen
Length: 46k
Creator Links:ronandhermy
Theme: Arranged marriage, AU, fork in the road, marriage of convenience, happy endings, marriage
Summary: At the age of eighteen Kate Sharma, after sending a desperate letter to her father's homeland, receives aid in the form of a letter from Lady Danbury who has arranged a match for the young woman. With only a letter, a promise and hope, Kate takes her mother and sister and sails to England where she is to marry Lord Anthony Bridgerton.
Reccer's Notes: I really enjoyed this take on how Kate and Anthony might have met when they were younger, and all the changes it would have brought.
