Vow That Doesn't Need A Ring

[hotbabysitter]

In the Kingdom of Spades, noble marriages meant something only if you wanted them to.

On the surface, they were solely political, arranged a generation or two before, based on family ties and alliance. You were not required to love your spouse, although many found a close friend and a coworker in them as they grew up together and ran their land

OMG Cards AU and I loved it ♥♥♥ I love how close Alfred and Arthur were even when young, and the hard trial they were give was almost heartbreaking ;w; But I'm glad they had a happy ending together, with no one opposing to it ♥

I love the cards AU and this version is really great. The idea of the succession of the throne is brilliant because it's so different from anything I've ever read.
The story in itself was really great too. There was so much love in it it made me melt away.^^

Ooo!! Such an intriguing concept! King and Queen as a profession, kinda like President and PM or VP. You get trained for 24 years and reign for 24 years, retire at 48 years old. Just a random question: what happens if one of them died in their reign, though?

Anyways, Arthur and Alfred's pining is sooo cute! I wish the revelation part could be described more...but anyways, thank you soo much for sharing! :D

This is a great take on the CardAU. The fluff was excellently fluffy, and in all, possibly sweeter then the brownie I had for lunch.

CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE CARDS AU. <3 They complete my life. I loved everything about this, from the trading of the clocks and the tree part and argh, Queen Magdalena and King Bridget! And of course the little girls they raise later. :)

I love how unapologetically schmoopy they are. You have made my NIGHT, love. <3
