    Summary

    It is, you think, too gorgeous of a day to bury your father. Unfortunately, life goes on. One day you’re imprisoned at the bottom of the sea trying not to lose your mind, and the next, you’re plotting for your future against the backdrop of a burial. The key to surviving both: keeping your wits about you.

    No one gets to choose the weather.

    ----------------------------

    Reader is finishing up a five-year sentence in a wizarding prison at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean when she consents to an arranged marriage and is shipped off across the sea with her new husband, while on temporary release to attend her father's funeral to settle the debts he left behind. Reader doesn't have a name, but does have a background and family members.

    INFO: Your parents are dead (condolences). You're American (condolences x2). You killed someone in an illegal duel at school in your final year and were sent to prison for it (you deserve it). You are not physically described beyond having hair (to have it stroked). Since prison, you have thalassophobia, a fear of squids (valid), and a fear of the dark. But you're not insane, and you definitely learned your lesson down there (didn't you?).
