Please bear in mind that the couple forced to marry will not necessarily fall in love with each other - read the pairings in the summaries!
Let me make it clear that this is NOT a list of my recommendations, I haven't even read all of the fics, although I do generally check that they fit the requirements.
If anyone knows of any other stories that could be added to this list, or see any mistakes on the page, then please email me or comment at my livejournal.

I post my website, story and fic list updates on my livejournal, so that people can add me to their friends lists and see the updates that way. Go here.
