Can't Find Good Omens Human AU. HELP!!!!!
Edit: We found it! 😀
The fic I couldn't remember the name of is "Waking Up Married" by Caedmon on AO3. However, they pulled that fic about a month or so ago, so if you haven't read it yet you will have to request a copy from someone who had downloaded it prior to that. Thanks to handyowlet, I now have a pdf copy, and will be happy to share. Just request a copy in the comment thread, and provide a valid email so I can send it to you.
One of the reasons I was having trouble searching for this fic was it has been so long since I read it that in my memory I had somehow combined it with a similar fic (both fics start out with Crowley and Aziraphale getting married in Las Vegas while they are extremely inebriated.) Caedmon's fic has 29 chapters and lots of angsty plot. The other fic, which is called "Oops!" is by Mimsynims, and is only 5 chapters long. The beginning of the story that I was remembering, with the wedding bouquet found in the hotel bar and Tracy working at the front desk, is from that short fic. If you would like to read the short fic, here is the link for it:

I have tried several times to post this link and each time it reverts to text instead of a clickable link before I can Save and repost. No idea why. But the address should be correct. It may or may not need that final "/" at the end, though.

Original post below, except for a small edit I added in parentheses:
============================
I am looking for a GO Human AU that begins with Crowley waking up in the Honeymoon Suite of a Las Vegas hotel and not being able to remember exactly how he got there. A gorgeous man (Aziraphale) whose name he doesn't remember at first is still asleep next to him. They are both naked, but are wearing matching wedding rings. He remembers checking into the hotel, but it was a different room and he was by himself when he checked in.
I can't remember why Crowley and Aziraphale were both in Las Vegas. I think Crowley was there for business reasons (his family is very wealthy, and he has a private jet at the airport). He remembers being with Aziraphale in a casino, and winning a large amount of money. They are both from the U.K.
When Crowley checks his phone, he has emails with a marriage license and photographs from a wedding. He and Aziraphale look very happy in the photos, but he doesn't really remember anything clearly. He talks to several employees of the hotel who remember seeing them celebrating in the hotel bar. He finds a bouquet of flowers that they apparently left behind at a table, that matches the one in the wedding photos. One of the employees he speaks with is Tracy (I think she works at the front desk, maybe?)
I can't remember for sure, but I think Crowley calls his long-time friend and legal advisor next. Also, I really thought that this person was Fergus, but I searched all through Caedmon's fics on AO3 and could not find it. Has anyone else written fics with Fergus as a character?
When he talks to Aziraphale about what they should do, he offers to fly Aziraphale back to England on his plane, but I think Aziraphale declines. I may possibly be mixing this up with another fic, but I think Crowley ends up buying a ticket on Aziraphale's flight just so he can talk more with him. (edit: the bit where Crowley buys a commercial plane ticket just so he can sit next to Aziraphale instead of on his private jet is from a third fic that I haven't tracked down yet. I may post a link to that one also, if I can find it. In Caedmon's fic Aziraphale does take the private jet with Crowley.)
At some point (I can't remember if it's before or after they land) Crowley finds out that it would not be in his best interest for him and Aziraphale to get divorced as soon as possible, because the majority of his inheritance from his grandfather hinges on him getting married and staying married for a certain length of time (6 months or a year, I think).
This is a ridiculous amount of money, like billions. If they divorce immediately then Crowley's detested cousin Gabriel will inherit instead. Complicating things, he and Aziraphale will be periodically checked on by a legal team (headed by Beelzebub, but I think Hastur and Ligur are there as well) to determine if the marriage is legitimate or if Crowley has only gotten married as a scam in order to inherit.
Of course, although Crowley got married arguably by accident, he wasn't doing it as a scam as he did not know about those specific terms of his grandfather's will. No one told him. His mother knew. (Crowley's mother is a character in this fic.) I don't think his legal advisor (Fergus?) knew, but I don't remember that for sure.
I think Aziraphale owns the bookshop in this fic, not just works there. He may or may not live in a flat above the bookshop. I'm pretty sure that Crowley owns the Bentley. I don't remember if Crowley has the nice apartment in Mayfair or his own house or ??? I don't think he lives with his mother, I'm pretty sure that she has a separate house. I can't remember if his father is alive in this fic or not.
Crowley's mom kind of pressures them to have a second wedding so that they (she) can invite everyone who would normally have been invited if they had had a normal wedding in England instead of a quickie wedding in Vegas. After some debate, they decide to have a Las Vegas-themed wedding, complete with gaming tables, slot machines, and appropriate decorations.
I can't remember what happened after this. I'm not even positive that the fic is finished, and not a WIP. I believe that it is a completed fic. If any or all of this sounds at all familiar, please comment on this post. Even if you don't remember the title or author's name either. But especially if you do! Thanks so much!
If we can figure out which fic this is, I promise to edit this post and put a link at the beginning, in case anyone else wants to read (or reread) this also.
I could have sworn that I had this bookmarked, but I have over 2,000 bookmarks and most of them are Good Omens fics. I tried searching for Las Vegas, Las Vegas wedding, wedding, married, marriage as well as human au and Alternate Universe-Human. Maybe it is not tagged as an AU? No luck so far. 😢
