Just Married 2020

[desertvixen]

Apologies for lateness, I thought this was up!

My general preferences are here.

Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin 

Maureen McGill/Richard Spier (BSC), Watson Brewer/Elizabeth Thomas Brewer (BSC), Janine Kishi/Charlie Thomas (BSC)

Becoming a step-parent, Bridesmaid(s) Dressing The Bride, Carried Over The Threshold, Dealing with In-Law(s), Destination Wedding, First Dance at a Wedding, First Time Living Together/Moving In Together After Wedding, Friends and family being way too involved in wedding planning, Marrying a Single Parent, Over The Top Wedding, Second marriage, Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue ,Wedding Fluff, Wedding Reception

I am all about BSC wedding stories. Fluff, details, the wedding Watson and Elizabeth might have had if not for time considerations, Kristy having over-the-top elaborate plans, or intimate little studies of the wedding day. You can't go too fluffy. I've written 37 BSC fics and 11 of them deal with weddings.

I love love love BSC wedding fic.  Fic at the wedding, wedding preparations, all the little rituals that go into a wedding.  I’d prefer no one ran off to Vegas (although considering it is always entertaining) but feel free to have people be a little crazy.

 

Hunger Games Series - All Media Types 

Annie Cresta/Finnick Odair (Hunger Games), Haymitch Abernathy/Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games)

"We Could Be Dead Tomorrow So Let's Get Married Today", Renewing Vows For Impulsive Wartime/"We Could Be Dead Tomorrow" Marriage After Years of Peace/Safety, Couple finds out they're married in an alternate universe, Secret Marriage Becomes Public, Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue, Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out

I'd really love you to give Finick and Annie (book version mostly) the happily ever after that lasts that they deserved. I also think Katniss and Haymitch make a much better pair.

 

Just make people happy.

 

Marvel Cinematic Universe 

Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers (MCU), James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov (MCU), Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov (MCU), Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff(MCU), James "Bucky" Barnes/Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers (MCU)

2 people who weren't romantically involved get together after meeting the AU married couple version, Bachelor(ette) Party Shenanigans Endanger People's Ability To Attend The Wedding Ceremony, Carried Over The Threshold, Couple finds out they're married in an alternate universe, Destination Wedding, First Time Living Together/Moving In Together After Wedding, Friends and family being way too involved in wedding planning, Over The Top Wedding, Secret Marriage Becomes Public, Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue, Trapped In Fake Perfect World That Includes Marriage They Don't Believe They Can Ever Really Have, Vegas Wedding, Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out, Wedding Fluff, wedding is interrupted by the bad guys

There's several AU things in here that could be good.

As far as friends and family go over the top, does Tony have another setting?

AU all the way. I also love the trope where the wedding/bachelor/bachelorette party gets crashed by bad guys who are disposed of so they can get back to business.

 

Star Trek: The Next Generation 

Beverly Crusher/Jean-Luc Picard (ST TNG), Ro Laren/William Riker (ST: TNG)

2 people who weren't romantically involved get together after meeting the AU married couple version, Couple finds out they're married in an alternate universe, First Dance at a Wedding, First Time Living Together/Moving In Together After Wedding, Married to owner of Gothic castle/manor, Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue ,Visions of Alternate Timeline Where Impossible Marriage Happens/Works Out, Wedding Fluff

P&C were really the first time I understood shipping in an ongoing fandom. I still love them. The Ro/Will thing had promise in Conundrum.

Also if you read Q-Squared so did I and I loved it! Dark Mirror was good as well.

Nothing much to add.

 

Original Work 

Lonely Widow/Younger Man Looking to Scam Lonely Widows (Original Work), Female Bluestocking/Regency Gentleman (OW), Proper Victorian Gentleman/Scandalous Victorian Lady Arranged Marriage - I Hate You But You're Hot Let's Be Evil Together, Breaking Up A Betrothal To Marry Someone Your Family Doesn't Approve Of, Character A Enters Fake Marriage While Secretly Pining for Character B, Character Thinks Their Spouse is Trying to Kill Them, Guardian marrying ward when they come of age, Marriage of Convenience, Married to owner of Gothic castle/manor, Marrying For An Inheritance, Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my spouse, Widow's Second Chance Wedding to Inappropriate Past Suitor

So if you've ever read an Amanda Quick Regency or her Arcane Series Regencies... well, you know my jam. I don't want any (possibly) murderous spouses to actually succeed. I'm a sucker for Regencies and marriages of convenience.

Pretty much what it says on the tin.  I’d prefer the dark brooding rake with secrets not actually be the killer.
