57 Imbroglio | Forgotten Realms (Legend of Drizzt) | Private Choices

Title: Private Choices
Fandom: Forgotten Realms (Legend of Drizzt)
Author: [personal profile] senmut | [archiveofourown.org profile] Merfilly
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Drizzt Do'Urden/Alustriel Silverhand
Warnings: Canon divergent from about the 7th book of the series
Summary: Political nastiness over choices made



Alustriel was not going to sway from her course, no matter the political imbroglio of this. When she had stepped down from leading Silverymoon, she had thought that would be enough.

A simple exchange of vows that already bound their souls in the Sacred Glade of Mielikki was planned. It was nothing more than a public commitment for their closest friends and family to share the joy, much as she had done with Sharrevaliir centuries prior.

But now, with the new League of the Silver Marches pushing back for her private choices, Alustriel refused to deny Drizzt the public vows.

I don't know the fandom but with the political climate here of taking away everyone's right to choose how to live their private lives, this resonates.
