  <title>[Snippets] Marriage!</title>
  <link>https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve been feeling snippety lately. Probably because I&apos;m ramping up for the inevitable &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://sixteenwins.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[livejournal.com profile] &apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://sixteenwins.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sixteenwins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; payoff post; my predictions for these NHL Playoffs weren&apos;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=&quot;http://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/172168.html&quot;&gt;inverted tropes&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/172426.html&quot;&gt;kidfic&lt;/a&gt;), I&apos;m doing little bits from stories about marriage. (And one kind of longer bit, because I couldn&apos;t figure out what to cut. Snippets are hard on wordy folk.) One of last year&apos;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=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://thehoyden.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://thehoyden.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;thehoyden&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; beta-read the whole thing, &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://anna-unfolding.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://anna-unfolding.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;anna_unfolding&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was the Anze/Bobby beta, and &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://shihadchick.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://shihadchick.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&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=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Intentional but still stupid marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;Post-hockey marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___3&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid3&quot;&gt;Secret divorce!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___3&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___4&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thefourthvine.dreamwidth.org/177054.html#cutid4&quot;&gt;REALLY secret marriage!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___4&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thefourthvine&amp;ditemid=177054&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
