Marriage of Convenience
Jan. 8th, 2013 01:19 amCan I be real with you guys? I LOOOVE pretend-to-be-married!fics. There's just something about them: they're usually hilarious and heartwarming and just...hnnng. Love all of it, wish I could cuddle it close.
I'm randomly entangled with this particular trope at the moment in the Skyfall fandom. (Yeah, I have a bunch of unfinished stubs, but I have yet to post anything complete. This is apparently how I work in fandom, alas.) Bond and Q have trust issues by the tonne, so it's really fun to write so far, and I love writing Monepenny in this story because she takes everything in stride:
"I bought you an egg separator," Moneypenny said and held it out ceremoniously. "It separates eggs. Best wishes."
It was nice that someone was having a laugh about this, Q thought sourly and pocketed Moneypenny's wedding gift to blow up later.
Do you have any pretend-to-be-married!fics, Skyfall or no? I've read some really good Destiel ones in the Supernatural fandom, and other great AE fics in the Inception fandom, but I always welcome new stories or old favourites. :D
