Just Married 2021

[desertvixen]

I know I'll love whatever you write.

My general preferences are here.

For weddings in general, I love the details and the planning, the small perfect thing that you remember about the day your whole life.  It's not really a tag, but I'm also totally down for reminscing over wedding pictures/albums, either by nominated characters or offspring.  I'm totally down for a "looking back/remember when" sort of story - especially if it was something that seemed like a disaster (like the bachelor party hijinks) but now is funny.

Blanket DNW are graphic/extreme violence, sexual violence, nominated character death, cruelty to animals and children.

 

 

Fairy Tail 

Evergreen/Elfman Strauss, Levy McGarden/Gajeel Redfox, Laxus Dreyar/Mirajane Strauss

Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding, Wedding Reception - Catching the Bouquet, Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved, Wedding Ceremony - Interrupted by Villains, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue, Wedding - Over The Top Wedding, Wedding - Beach Wedding, Anniversary - Planned Date Cancelled Because A's Ill/Injured; B Comforts and Makes Evening Romantic, Bachelor(ette) Party – Hijinks & Shenanigans Endanger People’s Ability to Attend the Wedding, Historical - Regency Marriage

Ever/Elfman: All of these. I can imagine these two having a super splashy wedding. Or maybe a wedding on Tenrou Island?

Laxus/Mira: All of these. They're ripe for fantasizing about the wedding (while attending Elf/Ever's) or having their own wedding interrupted. Or maybe a wedding on Tenrou Island?

Gajeel/Levy: Since we see their wedding, I'm more interested in the anniversary one for them.

Feel free to go over the top (like the guild has any other setting).  Interested in what they might make of the old/new/borrowed/blue tradition.  I’m also very down for bad monologing villains trying (and failing) to crash the party.  Or Regency.  I love a good Regency AU – and for that one it can be any of the 3 getting married.

Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery 

Gilbert Blythe/Anne Shirley

Wedding Ceremony - Secret Wedding Held in the Forest, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue, Wedding - Outdoor Wedding, Wedding - Forest Wedding, Anniversary - 50th Year (Golden), Historical - Regency Marriage

When I nominated them, I was thinking about the scene in Anne's House of Dreams where Anne wishes they'd snuck off to the woods and been married there. Maybe meeting there the morning/evening before - or an AU where they actually do.

I'd also be down for a Regency AU or seeing their 50th anniversary party. I have read The Blythes are Quoted.

It’s at location 210 in the Kindle for the wedding Anne dreams of, getting married at dawn.

Not much else to add.  I love the natural world as seen through Anne’s eyes, and I’d love to see a big cozy family party.

Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin 

Charlie Thomas/Janine Kishi (BSC), Maureen Spencer McGill/Richard Spier (Baby-Sitters Club), Elizabeth Thomas/Watson Brewer (BSC)

Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding, Wedding Reception - Catching the Bouquet, Wedding Planning - Friends And Family Being Way Too Involved, Wedding Planning - Bridesmaid(s) Dressing the Bride, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue, Wedding - Destination Wedding Road Trip, Wedding - Destination Wedding, Wedding - Beach Wedding, Second Marriage - Getting Remarried, Honeymoon – Resort, Anniversary - 1st Year, Anniversary - 25th Year (Silver)

Charlie/Janine : All of the wedding ones are good but I'm partial to catching the bouquet and fantasizing (maybe at Sam and Stacey's wedding?)

Maureen/Richard: I can see them at someone else's wedding, or at their own.

Elizabeth/Watson: I'd love a fancy splashy 25th anniversary party for them (to make up for not having a fancy fancy wedding) with all the kids and spouses and of course Kristy orchestrates something crazy and perfect. Or maybe a second honeymoon trip?

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 on this one. I've written 39 BSC fics and 11 of them deal with weddings.

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.

Down for Charlie and Janine thinking about the wedding but both thinking the other is not.

Feel free to use a Sam/Stacey wedding as background for a Charlie/Janine story.  Or go with college friends,

 

Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mysteries - Franklin W. Dixon & Carolyn Keene 

Joe Hardy/Bess Marvin (Nancy Drew), Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew), Fenton Hardy/Laura Hardy (Nancy Drew), Joe Hardy/Iola Morton (Nancy Drew)

Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding, Wedding Reception - Catching the Bouquet, Wedding Planning - Bridesmaid(s) Dressing the Bride, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue, Wedding - Over The Top Wedding, Wedding - Destination Wedding, Wedding - Beach Wedding, Bachelor(ette) Party – Hijinks & Shenanigans Endanger People’s Ability to Attend the Wedding, Anniversary - 1st Year, Anniversary - 25th Year (Silver), Wedding - Double Wedding,  Wedding Reception - Having Sex at the Reception

I'm down for several permutations on this one with the younger couples. Nancy/Frank daydreaming at Joe/Iola's (AU obviously) wedding? Joe/Bess daydreaming at Nancy/Frank's wedding? Double wedding? Maid of Honor Bess having to bail the Groom and Best Man out of jail after the bachelor party gets out of hand? No mystery unless it has to do with the wedding, thanks. Best Man and Maid of Honor getting naughty at the reception (this works regardless of which brother is getting married)?

For Fenton/Laura an anniversary dress-up event would be lovely.

Pretty much what it says on the tin.  Feel free to indulge in 80s/90s fashion as that is the era of the SuperMysteries.

Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold 

Count Dono Vorrutyer/Olivia Koudelka Vorrutyer (Vorkosigan Saga - LMB), Duv Galeni/Delia Koudelka (Vorkosigan Saga - LMB).

Wedding Planning - Bridesmaid(s) Dressing the Bride, Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue, Wedding - Over The Top Wedding

I'd really love to see these two couples get married. Aside from the poor Commodore Koudelka's budget (perhaps Alys provides some assistance to her protege Delia) I feel like Dono would benefit from having a big splashy social wedding with pomp to establish himself as Count Vorrutyer. Does the Imperial Wedding spawn more luxurious weddings as a result?

Both grooms would benefit from having social affirmation of their acceptance into society, and their brides are both in a decent position to help them.

The bride getting ready for her splashy wedding with her sisters (and mother, and possibly Alys) would also be excellent.

I would love to see what the Barrayaran take on old/new/borrowed/blue is, and I would love a good description of a Barrayaran wedding and reception.  Does the Imperial wedding spark a trend of super expensive weddings?  Does Dono need a big social splash to help establish himself?  Which Koudelka sister wins the budget battle?   How does Duv feel about suddenly being part of the Vor-adjacent scene?
