the 'fake married' meme

be it for a job, in order to get your inheritance or to fool your nosy neighbours, you are pretending to be married. now the question is, do you want it to be real or can you hardly wait for it to be over?

[It's not Steve's fault. Mostly. It's just that, well, the princess on the run from her usurped kingdom in some magical pocket dimension (Steve tries not to ask too many questions about how that last part works, not because he can't handle the mental gymnastics necessary but because it leads to long, circular discussions about the nature of reality) couldn't seem to take the hint that he wasn't interested in her, so it had seemed more expedient to lie and claim he was already spoken for. Married, in fact, because anything less just didn't require a bond of fidelity the princess would respect.

Married to Sif, because Steve didn't trust even supposed marriage vows to stop Her Highness, but a wife inclined to stab her enemies might just do the trick.

So far it's worked, but then it's also only been about an hour. The princess is still a little too close for comfort, as if pouting and heaving dramatic sighs will make Steve change his mind. He's going to need Sif to show up herself at this rate.]

i'm doing that au!

[When she returns with Natasha and Clint from a mission, she does not expect the answer she gets for asking What news. Apparently even someone as pragmatical and stubborn as Sif would've appreciated a heads-up if she was going to be married, and it doesn't help that Natasha practically explodes with psychotic childish glee.

It's not until she walks into the scene of the Avengers tower, and witnesses the princess herself not taking even that hint that she changes her mind about glaring at Steve until he grovels and apologizes. Inexplicably, Sif feels a surge of possessiveness and pride at the same time; if he is hers, then why is that lady still fluttering around him? Has she no respect for bonds of marriage? Maybe she'll have respect for tips of knives then.]

Husband. [Deserts haven't been dryer than that, Sif.] No welcome back kiss?

this is a good plan

There's my angel! [Steve springs to his feet like the couch is on fire, crossing the room to plaster himself to Sif's side in a way that is supposed to be "hi honey how are you" but winds up a lot closer to "oh god please save me".

(He and Natasha will be having words later.)]

How'd everything go? Want me to take anything?

[asofwar]

[Someone out there has had a heart attack at the mighty Captain America calling lady Sif his angel; that some is Sif, who can't help the little startled jump. That she thankfully masks very well, her gaze soft.

You want convincing? She rests her hand on his cheek, more affectionately than she's albeit touched anyone since she's been here. (And finding it easy to do, shockingly. Easy to have affection for Steve.)] Long, successful. Not more than the usual.

[Natasha flew the jet back and Clint taught her how to play poker. She thinks she owns his life, because he was left out of things to bet with. But that'll be some story they all share, later. For now, for the princess:] I have missed you. [She takes a step closer, and lowers her voice.] Come help me out of this armor.
