If Cloud and Brangwen don't wish to have their sex life, as opposed to the married life, discussed don't force them
It isn't exactly that, Cloud isn't shy about his sex life with anyone else, the issue is that their first time together goes bad, and Brangwen's first time with Elena, which she does want to tell me about is a direct response to that.
Do an Edwardian episode and send them off to the same bed in the evening
Actually I've decided on something a bit similar to that. Sephiroth knows how important it is that Cloud produce at least one child fairly soon after his marriage, so he sends Cloud off to Brangwen the day Aeris says she's fertile, Cloud goes to her room (like in late medieval Europe there's probably some witnesses although I doubt I'll mention that) and when he gets there Brangwen greets him and I'll probably skip to the part where he leaves, frustrated and a bit humiliated.
Do they have to have sex?
Yes, I'm afraid so. It's referenced in one of the Indenture interludes - artifical inseminatation of any sort won't give him a legal heir.
I can just imagine them sitting over a teapot with lists of things they do/don't enjoy.
Not quite like that, but I could subtitute an episode after Brangwen's first fertile period is over when she lays down the law so to speak about how they'll handle the next fertile period, if I can't get a full chapter out of this new approach.
