OK I finished enough of it that I’m putting the first chapter up. Lambert doesn’t get pegged in the first chapter, which is the sole reason I didn’t just call it Lambert Gets Pegged. Chapter 2 will follow soon.

Chapter 1: Uncertain Welcome, on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/26847148

She was awfully pretty, and he wondered how much of it was real. What he liked about her were the tantalizing glimpses she gave him of the real person, but she was wrapped up in so much bullshit, like she felt she had to put on a show all the time. Of course the very most attractive part was the way she could shoot fucking lightning out of her hands and destroy enemies, but that was also the most frightening part of her and you couldn’t really build a relationship on that sort of aroused terror. Her sarcasm and dry sense of humor and fantastic tits had filled in the rest and at this point he was fairly hooked.

Well, it didn’t matter; he still wasn’t sure what it was she liked about him, and figured it was too much to ask for to try and get her to just be genuine with him. This was pretty explicitly a convenience thing, not like, a marriage of true loves, so.
