Lead Me On Through by mrsronweasley (LWJ/WWX)

#c:m/m #f:mdzs #n:au #n:marriagetropes #p:lwj/wwx #t:fic | "Who do you think your betrothed is?" Wei Wuxian asks, sprawling out in front of Lan Zhan and enjoying the prim thinning of his lips at the question. He shouldn't be sprawling—they're in the library, for one, and Lan Zhan is studying, for another—but he can't help himself. Wei Wuxian is a sprawler. "I do not believe this to be of importance," Lan Zhan responds, without turning his gaze away from his book. "What!" Wei Wuxian sits up. "How can you say that? Of course it's important! This is the person you'll be with for the rest of your life, Lan Zhan."

"I wouldn't want this," Lan Wangji finishes.

#c:m/m #f:mdzs #n:au #n:marriagetropes #n:♥ #p:lwj/wwx #t:fic | It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him. “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?” “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

#c:m/m #f:psych #n:casefic #n:marriagetropes #n:undercover #p:gus/shawn #t:fic | When Shawn started them down the thrilling, dangerous road of psychic detecting, he'd predicted this. "Gus," he'd said, "everything you need is right in front of you. You just have to pay attention."

Have & Hold by arriviste (Enjolras/Grantaire, Cosette/Eponine, Cosette/Eponine/Marius)

#c:f/f #c:f/f/m #c:m/m #f:lesmis #n:au #n:fakedating #n:marriagetropes #p:cosette/eponine #p:cosette/eponine/marius #p:enjolras/grantaire #t:fic | Enjolras has not only fake-married an alcoholic annoyance who doesn't take anything he says or does seriously, he somehow did it while Jehan was live-tweeting the civil ceremony. He's fighting for marriage equality, but the evidence overwhelmingly points to the fact that marriage as an institution is dead, and that he has personally helped administer its Barthesian coup de grâce.
