in lieu of that, i will take any and all fake-dating recs

[etben]

For lo! I require all of the marriagefic.

What I mean: Marriages of convenience! Marriages of inconvenience! Woke-up-married! Accidentally married! Pretending to be married for great justice (or criminal misdeeds)! ACTUALLY GETTING MARRIED, even! I don't care about the fandom - in this subcategory, I am actually EVEN EASIER than I usually am.

...which is pretty easy, so. *grabbyhands* Pretty pretty please?

[I could blame this my hormones, but when you get down to it, it's really just that I have a domesticity kink a mile wide, and I want more. Also, lordessrenegade told me to.]

Aspire To Touch The Sky (http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/132146.html) (DC Comics). Bruce Wayne (Batman)/Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) marriage of convenience. Really. It's long and plotty and awesome!

A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html) (SGA) -- not exactly married, but essentially. Also, hilarious. :D

Outrageous Fortune (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/outrageousfortune.html), (Slings & Arrows). Kate and Jack being adorable and married and fantastic post-S1. ♥

The Age of Aquarius (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Aquarius.html) (The West Wing), Josh/Donna FTW. Written by cesperanza, so made of awesome.

(There are a couple of others where they talk about marriage, though; just check out the summaries here (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/westwing.html).)

And, for something completely different, Spider's Web (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/48/spidersweb.html), Penelope/Odysseus. In which Penelope definitively proves that she is even more awesome than her husband. Which is saying something.

I have more recs that comply with the super-domestic quality (i.e., "they are SO MARRIED") but no marriage happens, or in which the couple (spoiler alert!) gets married at the end. Do you want them?

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

Oh! I almost forgot: The Secret Library (http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/37894.html) (Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter mysteries). Peter/Harriet, early in their married life; a bit spoilery for some of the books if you haven't read them, but considering that the fic involves both porn, libraries, and literary-minded WIN, I think it's worth it. :)

*sigh* Apparently once I start reccing, I can't stop. I also made the mistake of asking my twin, who has now also embarked on the quest. :D?

Suffrage (http://tasteofpoison.inkubation.net/viewstory.php?sid=404) (The West Wing); CJ, working and being awesome after her marriage.

A Very Short Sermon (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/66/veryshort.html), which is just the sweetest post-Sense & Sensibility.

IDK why these are all in really obscure fandoms, but here's ice house (http://www.kormantic.com/other/icehouse.html), a Little House on the Prairie ficlet.

And Write That Symphony (http://cimorene.net/cimorene/sitr/andwritethatsymphony.html) (Singin' In The Rain) -- both marriage AND threesomes. Oh yeah.

Canonical marriage! Mr. and Mrs. Smith pegging (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/misc/Pushover.html) and other sexy married spy shenanigans (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/17/mrand.html).

...I think I'm done now.

: DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Thank youuuuuuu! you are the BEST. I would totally read any and all other fic you would like to rec me, too. *chinhands*

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

inmyriadbits asked me if I had any ideas, so I trundled off to my delicious and tagged up a few (http://delicious.com/spatz13/marriage) I remembered. [And now I can't *stop*, so expect some more shortly....] The stories are mostly already-married-people fic - apparently I'm biased against weddings in my fiction? Anyway, hope that suits your craving!

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Or you could just try some wedding recs from elucreh at her delicious account (http://delicious.com/Elucreh/.feature--wedding).

[etben.livejournal.com]

Thank you very kindly! *opens a million tabs*

\o/\o/

[etben.livejournal.com]

/o\ That was actually the fic that got me craving fake-marriage fic. IT IS SO GREAT AND I WANT TO ROLL AROUND IN IT, WHAT THE CRAP, I AM NOT EVEN IN THIS DAMN FANDOM.

[aurora]

Haaaaaa, I'm sorry. IT IS SUCH A GREAT PIECE OF WRITING, RIGHT!? Every new chapter makes me squeal with glee.

[etben.livejournal.com]

oh, no, don't apologize! I totally reread it this morning, and, ugh, it is JUST THAT AWESOME. I am taking every hour that goes by without an update as a PERSONAL INSULT, because, omg, their stupid faces. *________*

Have you read jae_w's marriage of convenience (http://jae-w.livejournal.com/158412.html)? It's bandom and I have no idea who the people are - well, I know who Pete Wentz is but the others are a mystery - but it's the best thing in the arranged-marriage genre I've ever read, ever (not just in fanfiction ie).It's Regency AU (but with arranged gay marriages) and it's just gorgeous. I have a vague sense that you are interested in bandom and may have read this? But it's so awesome I recommend rereading it anyway.

[etben.livejournal.com]

heeee, yes! I read it when it was posted, but, hey - I'm all about rereading! *opens tabs* Thansk for reminding me!
