Just Married 2025

My general preferences are here.
DNW: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way
SMUT DNW: creampies | the word “cunt” | anal | hate each other out of bed | underage | incest
MAYBE: no-harm dubcon (sex pollen or “fertility artifact”) | period typical attitudes | infidelity | power dynamic
Shower the treats like rice!
I love weddings. You cannot be too fluffy or have too many details, or get into too-ridiculous or too-complicated situations. You want to go way over the top, I am your girl.
These are a few of my very favorite tags:
Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding - YES I love it! The whole, that could be us factor! Also here for frank discussions of we are not having X at our wedding sort of stuff
Wedding Reception - Catching the Bouquet – Yes it’s old-fashioned and silly and I love it. I especially love conspiracies to make sure someone specific gets it.
Wedding Ceremony - The Wedding Day Disaster You Laugh About in the Future - So my first husband had to bribe a friend to overnight the ring because he left it on the kitchen counter (LDR). It seemed huge at the time. I’m open to ideas as long as they can still get married and aren’t too unhappy!
Proposal - While Watching Happy Friends Get Married – YES, although here maybe looking for that moment of I should ask, because it’s rude to propose at someone else’s wedding. Or a private proposal that doesn’t detract.
Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue – I love this. I could read a thousand variations on it, because what I love is seeing what’s important to the characters.
Wedding - That One Perfect Photograph at Your Wedding – That one moment you remember forever.
Anniversary - 1st Year – I love this opportunity to look forward and look back and be in love!
Wedding - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Wedding – This can be tied to old/borrowed/new/blue but I love that little connection to the past or a loved one you miss.
Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves – I love the meeting AND the realization and the getting together.
Wedding Reception - Best Man and Maid of Honor Get Together – It’s a classic, especially if the bride and groom are trying to throw them together.
Bachelor(ette) Party – Hijinks & Shenanigans – Also a classic, as long as the hijinks do not involve infidelity.

More in letter, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE BSC weddings! The tags speak for themselves, love weddings and wedding planning and wedding receptions...
For Maureen/Richard, I’m here for all the tags, but I especially like the second marriage ones, because there is a little bit of extra baggage there, especially for Richard.
For Charlie/Janine, some of the family ones apply more here, since the Thomas connection is crazy and complicated (and I love it for them). I am super here for the “unmarried couple fantasizing” one here.
And if nothing else speaks to you, I love love love the “something old/new/borrowed/blue” and seeing the different shapes that could take. Feel free to move the time period forward or not.

More in letter, but looking for one of two general things 1) fluffy romantic wedding fun or 2) stopping a crime at the wedding/reception
1. Nancy/Frank - fun at wedding or getting married. Feel free to be shamelessly romantic.
2. Carson needs their help with an inappropriate spouse (as in, she is trying to kill him
I’ve really been saving this one for this exchange, because I think the black widow plot could be VERY fun. Either after they’re already married, or suspicions beforehand. There are 2 Nancy Drew files with similar plots. I am okay with Carson realizing that there is a problem OR Nancy seeing the problem and realizing she isn’t just making stuff up.
Or dive into shamelessly romantic and fluffy wedding reception fic! Wedding reception hookup? Ridiculously romantic proposal?
I’ll love either approach. For best man/MOH hookups, feel free to have either Frank/Nancy or Joe/Bess as the couples. And the double wedding could be over the top fun.
For Fenton/Laura, looking more for the anniversary although I would also be DOWN for flashbacks.
For the veil, it could be either Laura’s or Nancy’s mom. Either would be a lovely touch.

More in letter, but I just want something soft and sweet and nice before you know, canon.
We learn about the toasting tradition in SOTR, but this crew feels like they could have some dancing as well – and we know there are a lot of clothes that get passed down/reworked.
Just be nice to them.

So how are we doing weddings after the solar alignment? Are we making it up as we go? Trying to rework traditions? I’m here for all of it, with either couple. The beach or snowing would be good for Cryotek/Galadria, but in general all tags are good for both.

More in letter but if you read Nora Roberts Bride Quartet, that's 90% of it!
For the wedding planner/brother’s friend, I prefer male, am in general a het fan.
But yes, if you read the Bride Quartet, that’s the vibe I want! Close friends who are like family and work together. Men who buy you shoes instead of flowers when they have messed up. A little bit of wedding adrenaline and attention to detail to have the perfect day.
For this one, I am okay with them being the ones getting married, or having things happen while they’re trying to get their clients happily married.
My faves are Savor the Moment (the best) and Happy Ever After.

More in letter but these are separate because they have more of an Amanda Quick Regency vibe...
Vaguely Regency/Victorian archaeology expeditions? A little enemies to lovers? Define “victory” as “we found the thing our elders searched for for 20 years”?
Have fun with it, but yes Amanda Quck Regency vibes with dark brooding heroes and slightly quirky heroines!
