So, I've been looking to read more fantasy lately but I couldn't exactly find what I wanted, and now I'm not sure it exists. I wanted, specifically, a WLW/Lesbian fantasy fiction where an arranged marriage happens between two women. All I've seen is the arranged relationship is straight and the affair is with a woman.
It just made me think, does it even exist? Probably, but I don't know how to find it. And if there isn't, why? I can't count how many arranged marriage books there are with a man and a woman getting together and making it dramatically, eventually, work out, and it's even the main romance of these books. Why not in WLW romance too? Why can't there be one book where they don't have to hide being together for once? As a queer person, I like stories about trial and hardship, but I also just wanted one instance where things are more straightforward and they don't have to conceal their relationship.
In short, the reason for my search; I like fantasy books and complicated relationships, and I'm getting tired of only seeing MLW relationships being the married couple, no offence. I just enjoy WLW more.
Nothing against other WLW fantasy with arranged marriages, just haven't seen what I'm looking for. I'm also open to any help finding WLW arranged marriage books outside the fantasy genre, just so long as it's still a WLW marriage plot.
Thanks for any help at all, seriously.
