As it’s the Glorious 25th of May what about a space AU and arranged marriage with Vimes and Lady Sybil?

Well, it’s no longer the Glorious 25th of May because I am the
slowest writer alive and I have never written Discworld before, but I love
Vimes and I love Lady Sybil so let’s do this. I may also have gone with a
loose definition of arranged.

Ankh-Morpork is a small moon compared to the aging Uberwald empire or the
twin moons of Klatch and Ecks Ecks Ecks Ecks, but what it lacks in size it
more than makes up for in attitude. While it is, most planet of the Disc
system agree, tiresome, its Patrician is not a man to cross.

Vetinari has transformed Ankh-Morpork into a thriving moon with a mostly
functional economic system and something even resembling culture. But the
Disc is built on old alliances and understandings and Ankh-Morpork has
little of those. It does, however, have the Ramkin family, which in turn
hsa ties to nearly every old family of every planet. The Ramkin fortune may
have faded over the years, Vetinari is still friends with the remaining
Ramkin daughter, Lady Sybil, who is the sole heir of the house and is
unmarried.

And then there is, of course, Vimes. Ankh-Morpork loved Vimes in the way
only it could: it hated him right up until it needed him and then it
dredged up some goodwill and claimed it had been there the entire time.
Vimes was descended from a family who believed people were bastards but
underneath that were worthwhile. They planted themselves on the side of
what was right, no matter the cost, and slaid kings.

Vimes is of the people, and given how much the heads of the guild despised
him, Vetinari held high hopes for Vimes’ political future and how to secure
it.
