    <content type="html">I've been feeling snippety lately. Probably because I'm ramping up for the inevitable &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://sixteenwins.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='16' height='16'/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://sixteenwins.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;sixteenwins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; payoff post; my predictions for these NHL Playoffs weren't exactly golden, either. (Though I do have a fifty-fifty chance of getting the Cup winner right. Go me?) So, as I did before (with &lt;a href="http://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/172168.html"&gt;inverted tropes&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/172426.html"&gt;kidfic&lt;/a&gt;), I'm doing little bits from stories about marriage. (And one kind of longer bit, because I couldn't figure out what to cut. Snippets are hard on wordy folk.) One of last year's snippets turned into a real story; maybe one of these will do the same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime: four snapshots of marriage stories. All hockey RPF. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ETA&lt;/strong&gt;: Since I am an AWFUL PERSON, I forgot to thank my betas! &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://thehoyden.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://thehoyden.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;thehoyden&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; beta-read the whole thing, &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://anna-unfolding.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://anna-unfolding.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;anna_unfolding&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was the Anze/Bobby beta, and &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://shihadchick.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://shihadchick.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;shihadchick&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was the Oilers beta. And, of course, Best Beloved was the alpha-reader. Thanks, all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid1"&gt;Intentional but still stupid marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid2"&gt;Post-hockey marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___3" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid3"&gt;Secret divorce!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___3" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___4" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid4"&gt;REALLY secret marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___4" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thefourthvine&amp;ditemid=177054" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
