Oh, wow, so EXCELLENT. When I thought up the prompt idea, I was thinking in terms of Ashe being betrothed to Vayne instead of Rasler, back when they were children, but I had also been thinking seperately about this scenario--- and, frankly, wondering what the Watsonian/in-universe explanation is for why they never did end up in an arranged marriage, either of their fathers' doing or their own (well, Vayne's own, especially--- that that did not occur to him always bugs me and this is a great missing scene as well as the yeast starter for an AU).
(Also, you were one of the other people on moogle_university who thought that Vayne as a proper tragic anti-hero would have been amazing, right? Because if so I might have a blitzkiss for you with yet another look at Ashe and Vayne when Vayne is more pragmatic and less tyrannical, aka my favorite kind of Vayne.)
