A-Listers Bow and Glimmer get married because thatās what celebs do when theyāre trying to break the internet. If the tabloids and podcasts are anything to go by, itās working pretty well.
Then they decided to make a home movie and break the internet even more!
-
Earth/Human/Modern AU, but they're celebrities. I thought it would be a fun prompt! Just a oneshot smut, as per usual for you heathens.
Notes:
Glimmer's like "hey lets get married as friends, it'll be so funny! wow the internet fucking exploded! quick, let's make a sex tape to troll everyone a little more!"

"I just think there are better things to do at midnight than kissing, I don't see the big deal"
"I don't know, I think it's sweet"
"Yeah, you would" she smiles fondly, her tone kind, before her eyes light up "Wait! I have an idea!"
"What is it?"
"We should kiss!"
Bow's eyes double in size as all the colours drains from his face "What?!"
Glimmer and Bow aren't sure why people kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve. It takes them a number of years to figure it out.
Short version: Post canon, the BFS set a trap for a spy by faking a break-up between Glimmer and Bow.
(I posted a small preview of this once.)
Long version:
While a lot of the fic ideas I've had that I've written a lot of / thought about a lot are things I would be ok if I never get to post them as fanfic because they are different enough from canon that I could easily write them as something original someday. This story, however, is one I would be kinda sad if I never have a chance to post for real. (And never say never but right now it's hard to imagine adding another canon-verse multi-chapter with how many I have in progress.)
The set up is that, post canon, these tabloids pop up on Etheria that are like our gossip rags and report on the princesses and their spouses like celebrity gossip. When there's a tragedy with important info getting in the hands of the wrong people, the BFS realizes that there is a spy, someone connected with one of these gossip rags.
Catra comes up with a plan: The Queen of Bright Moon and her war hero regular guy fiance are tabloid favorites. If Glimmer and Bow pretend to break up and date other people, they can create a series of gossip-worthy events to try to trap the spy. Glimmer and Adora both hate this plan but Bow thinks this won't be a problem, because he's incapable of jealousy (WRONG). Catra mistakes his misplaced confidence in himself as a sign that he doesn't care as much about Glimmer as she does about him. Catra loves Bow but, push come to shove, she's Team Glimmer first and wants to make sure her bestie is certain Bow's the one before they get married.
They stage a very public break-up, but it's meaningless at first because Glimmer just keeps teleporting to go see Bow anyway. But when the media storm is bigger than they anticipate and the spy eludes them, extending the ruse so they have to actually stay away from each other, things get more complicated. As Catra's sets up a bunch of suitor meetings for Glimmer to try and date other people and Bow is getting hit on, they both to start to wonder if maybe the other is doubting their relationship. All the fake reasons they broke up start to feel like maybe they were real reasons after all and both independently realize they don't want anyone elseā¦ while being convinced they are holding the other back by not letting them go.
Meanwhile, Adora figures out Catra's game and they clash over what Adora sees as Catra meddling in her best friend's relationship. Catra counters that both Glimmer and Bow have never been with anyone but each other so how can they really know they are in love without seeing what else is out there? When Adora points out all of that is also true about the two of them and does that mean these are doubts Catra herself is having? the two have a fight, compounded by the fact that the scheme is keeping them apart (Catra on Team Glimmer and Adora on Team Bow).
And obviously this all culminates in a caper style undercover mission where everyone gets back together and works out their issues and lives happily ever.
Doing this one for Slaps Idea: This Baby Can Fit So Much Projection! because this idea started out as me just wanting the chance to do a Perils of Peekablue style undercover caper with Catra, Adora, Glimmer and Bow but then it just turned into Tippen projects a lot of feelings about being bisexual and marrying your best friend onto Glimbow.
I was given the prompt: Glimmer and Bow dancing at her coronation while Lance, George, and Aunt Castaspella discuss wedding plans in the back.
Listened to a lot of 80's love ballads while drawing this and had so much fun with the lighting! Wanted to add that touch of romantic magic to the image.
