Summary
Her heart was pounding in her chest. All she needed to do was say the words. It was just a possible solution to a crisis; it wasn’t as if she’d knocked him out and dragged him all the way to the altar. How hard could it be?
“They would leave you alone if we got married.”
Lane stared at her in complete shock, one hand now braced against the low back of her blue chair, his mouth open, eyes wide, and a blotchy flush creeping up from under his collar. “What?”
Joan felt heat rise in her face, but sat straighter in her chair. She cleared her throat, and kept her voice level. “We could get married. So you could stay.”

Another Clexa fake marriage AU nobody asked for. Social worker Clarke and German postdoc Lexa enter into a hasty green card marriage after Lexa gets a letter informing her that her permanent residence status is in danger. With a little push from Clarke's best friend and Lexa's roommate, Raven, Clarke (drunkenly) volunteers to marry Lexa out of sympathy and desperation to escape her shithole apartment in Harlem. Now they are faced with the challenge of convincing their friends, family, and the USCIS that they are a legitimate newlywed couple, while adapting to life as newly cohabitating acquaintances and getting to know each other better. Naturally, fluff (and eventual smut) ensues.

Summary
In the months after Slade's siege on Starling City, Oliver and Felicity have become closer than ever. Oliver is ready to admit his feelings for Felicity, but then she learns that her work visa is invalid and she must return home to Canada. Though he knows it'll complicate everything, Oliver does the only thing he can think of: he proposes.
*This story takes place between the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3. One major divergence from canon is that Felicity is from Canada's Northwest Territories instead of Vegas. Also, instead of going on their ill-fated first date, Oliver and Felicity will be getting married and committing a felony--maybe! However, there will definitely be smut in later chapters!*
**This is now complete!**

“We can get married.”

Summary
Henry is a doctor at a NY public hospital. His visa to work in the States expires, and he has to leave the country. His only option for another working visa is to go back to the UK for a year and apply from there, something he is not ready to do. His boss, June Claremont-Díaz, offers the help of her recently graduated attorney brother. It is not just that nobody asked Alex how he feels about helping Henry. It is that he and Alex met a couple of years ago, before Alex went to Texas to do his internship, and it didn’t go well. Every time they’ve met since, they’ve been rude to each other. Nothing predicts this time might be different.
Or: the green card marriage RWRB AU love story nobody asked for.

“And who do you suspect I should marry then? June?”
“What? Oh god no. No way.” Alex stares at Henry with utter disgust plastered on his face. “That’s insane.”
“Exactly! Thank you!” Henry shouts while throwing his hands in the air. “Finally, you realize how stupid that entire plan is!”
“What? No, my plan isn’t stupid. Your idea of a partner is. Of course, you are not marrying my sister. Ew.” Alex scrunches his nose then steps closer to Henry and grabs his hands. “You are marrying me. See, then it isn’t against your sexuality.”
“You really are insane…” Henry gasps, “you have quite literally lost your bloody mind! I am not marrying you!”
______Singer Henry Fox has been in the US for almost a year trying to get a record deal with the help of his manager Alex Claremont-Diaz. But time is running out and so is his green card. Alex wants to do anything humanly possible to keep Henry in the states, and a fake engagement seems like the best solution. Surely, it won’t be a problem living together
