Why this must be read: Written for a "they accidentally get married" prompt, this fic also works as an "aliens made them do it" fic. Funny and sexy and beautifully written, with excellent dialogue and characterisations, this story will leave you with a smile on your face.
Excerpt:
Christine thinks she gets it, really, she does, but when she got up that morning and read the away mission briefing she hadn't expected to end up married to her boss. Her extremely grumpy, snarly, ruggedly handsome boss who is currently standing next to her clenching and unclenching his teeth and his fists in an apparent attempt to restrain himself from punching out his superior officer for being such a dick about this.
"Look, it's not like anybody anywhere else in the universe is going to formally recognize it," Kirk says, but it isn't really reassuring because they aren't anywhere else in the universe, they are here, on this strange backwater and tropically hot - god it is so hot, it can't just be her - planet where by some strange and confusing turn of events she and Leonard McCoy are now man and wife. Christine wants to laugh, isn't sure why she's not laughing, knows she would be laughing if it were happening to anybody else, but it's her and it's Len, and so somehow the humor is lost on her.
Which is unfortunate, because if the way Kirk can't stop bursting out laughing every two minutes is any indication, the whole situation is pretty fucking funny.
