Just Married - A Marriage Trope Exchange

** Update 31 August: All pinch hits have been claimed. Thank you very much to all our pinch hitters!

**Update: PH 21 has added requests for 探偵コナン | Detective Conan | Case Closed.

As several pinch hits have not yet been claimed, we will be delaying the collection opening by 1 week (to 3 September 11:59pm UTC), and will extend the delay if necessary until the pinch hits have been filled. We will post updates as they're available.

These pinch hits are due 2 September 11:59 PM UTC (countdown), or negotiable. This is 24 hours before the new collection opening time.

To claim a PH, please comment here or email marriageex@gmail.com with your AO3 name and the number of the PH. We may not be able to immediately respond to pinch hit claims, but will get to them as soon as we’re able.

If you can't claim a pinch hit yet but are working on something for one of these recipients, it would be very helpful if you let us know.

Matching has run!

There are currently 5 3 1 participants unmatchable on offers. If your username starts with G, L, R or S, please check the email associated with your AO3 account. We will re-run matching as soon as we hear back from everyone, or at 11:59pm UTC 20 June (~2 days from now), whichever is earlier.

If everyone is matchable after this, assignments will be sent out within several hours.

Please disambiguate all relationship tags by adding "(Fandom Name)" at the end. This will help us approve your tags faster.
Examples: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Confused Male Demon & The Male Prime Minister He Accidentally Possessed (Original Work).

Freeform Clarifications

Category clarifications:

Wedding Night - First Dance
May we accept this under 'Wedding Reception - First Dance'? Wedding night usually refers to the consummation.

Marriage - Slow Sex Life Picks Up When Someone Realizes They Like Being Submissive/Dominant
May we accept this under the category 'Marital Sex'?

Marriage - Enemies Agree to Get Married After Falling in Love Despite All Obstacles
May we accept this under the category 'Marrying for Love'?

Marriage - Powerful Couple Can't Decide Whether to be Good or Evil
The described scenario doesn't seem immediately related to marriage, so could you clarify what you envision, please? E.g. is the couple deciding this at the wedding, or as a result of marrying (we can accept under 'Newlyweds')? Or maybe this is something they're deciding on after a long time of being married (we can accept under 'Established Marriage')?

Please add category prefixes:
Elaborate Wedding For Political Reasons
Culturally Accurate to Source Material Wedding Traditions
Arranged marriage between enemies must be consummated to avert a war

A list of categories can be found here.

Please edit these nominations to be relevant to marriage, or they will be rejected:
Identity Porn
Fluff and Angst
Murder Mystery
Kidnapping
Secret Relationship
Identity Reveal
