Cress to the anon who sent this in. IT'S SO FLUFFY AND LOVELY HOLY SHIT

ok so instead of the convenient anonymously marriage trope how about an inconvenient annulment/divorce trope
as in dean and cas going to vegas on a hunt and waking up accidentally married to each other and sam calms dean down over the phone by telling him they can annul the marriage no sweat as long as they do it within a certain time period
except then dean and cas keep putting it off using the job as an excuse and when sam reminds them about it dean just waves him off and says, "yeah yeah we'll get around to it"
and it's actually sam that brings it up again months later that they're long past the deadline
and dean's like "huh well too late now i guess"
and cas just nods indifferently like "divorces are costly"
"and we don't have a pre-nup so you know it'll get messy"
"and being married has proven useful in a few of our investigations"
"everybody always assumes we're married the way we argue anyway no use arguing with them too"
"it really is easier this way"
"guess that settles it"
"i suppose it does"
"s'pose it also means we'll have to consummate the marriage"
"if we're to keep up appearances yes"
"they do say marriage is all about sacrifice"
"and we are nothing if not selfless"
"sometimes you gotta take one for the team"
"a true friend would do no less"
"and you're my buddy... *buddy*"
and sam watches in amazement as they literally no-homo their way into a marriage all the way to the bedroom
