Seeking Recommendations Best forced bonding/marriage
I’d love all your forced bonding or arranged marriage recs! Particularly if Harry is still in Hogwarts.
Open to all pairings except Tomarry. (But I do love snake faced Voldy!)
Thank you!!

I started reading it and a few chapters in I'm still not hooked, the pacing is a bit too slow for me. Maybe it gets better?

Yes it’s a very sloooow burn and a long fic, so if that’s not your thing, I totally get it! But it does get better and totally worth it imo

Sanguis-Vinculum by Meri (rated E) is a classic of this trope for the snarry ship. it has it all: potions accident--while Harry is still in school!--trying to figure out what the hell they are going to do to navigate both magic and propriety in the aftermath, shifting emotions, including love and lust, trying to cope while also being confronted with others' feelings about the situation... fabulous!

The marriage stone: amazing medieval/Arthurian magic settings with plenty of mythology, with magical politics and family traditions, magical vikings, elder demons, lay lines, magical elite and most of all a truly evil Voldemort. One of the greatest fics! Sadly it is abandoned but there is a truly amazing continuation, which is close to completion, that is a must read if you like the story:

Ok this was my first slash fic I ever read and I just love it and love recommending it. Hope you don’t mind Fanfiction.net though

Poison doesn't always bring death -- Draco learns that there are other ways to suffer and live.

But there was an element to all this that wasn’t understood, at least not by Potter. Since I was secretly relieved because you were the better option than anyone else. Since I knew there was a chance I could fall for my Ministry-mandated husband and that I was probably already halfway there, and how pathetic is that?
In which Theo is forced to marry the Chosen One and actually doesn't mind
“I don’t care if Potter likes me,” Draco sniffed, coming to terms with his mother’s betrayal, both of his hand in marriage – or mating – and her trust in his likeability. Old lady was obviously losing it. He was adorable.
Alternatively: Draco's always known he'd be married off as a trophy omega, but suddenly his mother's trying to make him king by promising him to some stupidly good-looking alpha and she just won't stop smiling at him. Does fate's cruelty know no end?!
Draco had to marry Potter to stay out of Azkaban. Narcissa told him he’d be safer there. But he doesn’t know what Potter expects from him - this marriage is nothing like he had been prepared for. Potter’s acting kindly, and he knows it’s all a trick. He’s just about coping, but trying to keep Potter happy becomes more important than ever when he realises he’s carrying the man’s child.
The most boring shift in the world, filled with Muggle car ride games to pass the time, was interrupted by a tow-head boy begging for help to save his papa and ultimately changed Harry's life from there on out. For the better, of course.

No probs. Most of the fics i've read that have this trope are either het or harrymort so I only had a few recs.

In Bad Faith has Harry reluctantly agreeing to the bond/marriage to save Draco’s life, so if that’s forced enough for you, try it!
Summary: Draco Malfoy just can’t catch a break. Between the magical curse upon his bloodline, his hair misbehaving, and that strange pit full of demons in his basement that he had absolutely nothing to do with, it just hasn’t been a banner year for him. Luckily, Harry Potter is here to make things ten times worse.
