Prop 8 has been overturned! Let's have a comment!party

[lokifan_import]

Proposition 8 was ruled unconstitutional and overturned. *pauses for cheering*

It's a baby step but it will make thousands of people happier and makes millions freer, so I think it deserves a party.

Here's my idea: proposal/marriage/honeymoon/bigot-defeating comment!fic. Any pairing, any rating, any fandom. :) I am extremely tired because it is after 2am here in the good old You Kay, but I will do my best! And there is no time limit on a good party.

Leave prompts for others in the comments if you so choose! Just leave comments of SQUEE! I know you'll be excited by this news too.

A few prompts thrown out to get you started (though writing to prompts isn't necessary):

Unfortunately, Character A had no idea Character B wasn't a virgin. And the honeymoon was fast approaching.

Unfortunately, Character A had no idea Character B was a virgin. And the honeymoon was fast approaching.

An orange wedding dress was non-traditional, certainly...

Somebody's late for their own wedding!

Hermione and Ron have a lovely, traditional, polygamous ceremony. Their third Pansy looks beautiful.

Eloping!

"If she offers me the choice between a cream menu and an off-white one one more time I will make her eat them both."

Partying in Soho after civil unions become legal in 2004, character A and B meet unexpectedly. They wake up the next morning wearing rings.

Unexpected proposal!

Someone tries to hire Malfoy Manor for a wedding and Lucius sets the peacocks on them. :)

Later that night, Harry made sure he didn't do anything different from his schedule. He picked up Thai, picked up a video, and waited to find Draco rather than call out that he was home. He found his boyfriend in the kitchen, looking through a cook book.

"Evening," he said, putting his purchases on the counter. "It's been a rather long week so I picked dinner up." He wrapped his arms around Draco's waist. "We can eat it out of the cartons and watch a bad movie."

Draco relaxed into his hold and closed the book. "Sounds wonderful. How'd you guess?"

Harry chuckled and kissed Draco's nape. "I know you. Come on. Dinner waits."

After dinner and after their usual fuck-during-a-bad-movie-so-we-don't-know-we're-watching-a-bad-movie, Harry tugged Draco closer to him. "I could do this forever with you."

"What? Fuck?" Draco teased, leaning up to kiss the underside of Harry's chin and then stretched his muscles. "I think I could do that, too. You are a rather wonderful shag, after all."

Harry chuckled. "That, too. But I mean coming home to you and eating bad take out. Or eating something we've made together. Just spending time with you."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Sounds rather sentimental. You're not going soft on me, are you?"

Harry wiggled his hips. "I think I just proved I haven't." He leaned in close to revel in Draco's unique scent. "With the busy week we've had and the recent mail over whether we're going to do the done thing or if I'm going to wake up and realize to settle down with someone decidedly not a Death Eater, it made me realize that regardless of the chaos that...I'd rather come home to you and spend my spare time with you."

Draco leaned up on his elbow, looking sad for some reason. "You're not cheating on me, are you?"

Harry shook his head. "No, of course not. I have no reason to."

Draco narrowed his eyes suspicously. "Haven't drank anything from a fan?"

Harry laughed and kissed Draco's nose. "Why are you so suspicious? Can't I just say that I love spending time with you?"

Draco looked dubious, but sighed and lay back down on Harry's chest. "Of course you can. Go on. Tell me how wonderful I am."

Harry chuckled.

Over the next weeks leading up to their next match, Harry continued his sneak attack. He made up dozens of excuses to show his boyfriend how much he meant to Harry and done a dozen things to show Draco that he wanted them to stay together for the rest of the lives. In a completely sneaky way of course.

The morning of the match, Draco said to Harry (after a breakfast that Harry had made for Draco), "Enough, Potter. Whatever you're planning or doing or thinking...enough! Okay? I get it--you love me, appreciate me, and want me around for a long time."

He smiled as he stood to get ready to leave and kissed Harry. "And thank you. All of it...means a lot to me."

Harry beamed. "I do love you, you know."

Draco waved his hand. "Yeah, yeah. Love you, you prat. Now, we have a match to get to. I'll see you there."

Harry watched Draco go and took a deep breath. Well, it was tonight or never. He hoped his weeks of planning and preparation were enough.

The match was a fierce one and the snitch was being particularly difficult. They were four hours in and the score was even. The crowd was as interested as ever, but Harry was getting desperate. He knew he hadn't dropped the box, but he also knew it was only a matter of time.

There! He knew he'd seen a glint and he sped off, holding tight. He heard Draco come up behind him and they raced toward it, focused. Just as they were right on it, he pulled back slightly...enough that they both grabbed it at the same time, hands like a cage. A tie.

Draco blinked. "That...has never happened."

Harry smirked. "Nope. But while we're locked together, I have a question to ask you. One I want you to take seriously and bearing in mind everything I've told you these last weeks. In return for listening and thinking about it properly, I'll let you win."

Draco tensed. "Harry...what the hell are you doing?"

Harry smiled and wiggled around to get into his pocket. He gave Draco a grateful look when Draco kept his broom steady. Opening the box one handed was tricky, but he managed. The stone in the center glinted off the millions of flashes from sudden pictures being taken.

"Draco Malfoy, will you marry me?" he asked.

Draco looked like a deer caught in the light of a Lumos. "W-what?"

"Marry me, Draco," Harry said.

Draco's hand started shaking, staring at the ring. "Tell me one thing, Harry Potter." He turned hard eyes on Harry. "Will you still be with me forever, as you've been telling me, if I say no?"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Of course I will, you prat! I love you and will continue to fuck you and make love to you and eat bad take out while watching a bad movie until we die or you get tired of me, married or no."

Draco took a deep breath and closed his eyes, looking lost. Harry held his breath and spared a thought for wondering why no one had yet to come over. Where was the official?

Draco nodded and opened his eyes. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you, Harry Potter."

Harry whooped and kissed Draco, hand wrapped around Draco's neck. He tugged their hands. "I'm going to let go so make sure to keep it."

Draco smirked. "Oh, I plan to. Forever."
