Friends or Couple's 18th century AU starring the original heroines Florina Williams and Severus Snape.
In England in the 18th century, a woman's capital in the marriage market was property, status, and appearance. A man's capital is property, status, moral character, and a cheerful and lovable temperament.
The way Florina Williams, the daughter of a squire, did not want to fall into the working class was to marry Severus Snape, a businessman with an annual salary of three thousand pounds.
In that era, compromise was inevitable and necessary. After all, who marries for love?
Intention: Couples in need clear the fog and see true love.
