“Raine, I love you. My family loves you, and I think they’re pretty great, so anyone they approve of must be cool.”
Eda stopped, as if that was all she was going to say.
“Now’s the part where you ask me to marry you,” Raine prompted, wiping tears from their eyes.
“Oh, right. Raine Whispers, do you want to get married?”
“I would love to!”
The room erupted in cheers as the two kissed, a picturesque celebration. Eda drew a spell circle in the air, and invited Raine to lay their hand in it for the proposal spell. After saying the brief incantation, the circle fizzled out.A brief moment of silence- nothing was happening. Eda didn’t feel any different, but then again she’s never gotten engaged before, how was she supposed to know what it felt like?

Summary
Harvey Dent has a problem. He has been carrying around a ring that came about from his first coin toss for almost 30 years now, and he can't stomach another day where that thing was burning a hole in his pocket. So, he tossed it in Bruce's face and hoped that maybe he'd finally be able to move on from his childhood crush. There's only one small problem, Bruce's children now know that he loves their father, and they think he'd make a great step-dad. His life just got a whole lot more complicated than it needed to be.
This fic was inspired by a TikTok user named TrixkyGoddess. This would be a somewhat hodge dodge mix of the bad and the good options that came out of that coin toss.

Bookmarker's Notes
April 23 2021
“Okay. This is: Reasons Why Min Yoongi Should Agree to Marry Kim Seokjin. By: Kim Seokjin.”
He glanced over at Yoongi nervously; the expression on Yoongi’s face was shifting rapidly, flashing between emotions too quickly for Seokjin to comprehend. Swallowing, Seokjin turned back to the laptop, too nervous to try and figure out what that might mean right now. He took a breath and clicked on to the next slide, ploughing forward with the presentation.
“Point number one: I like fishing. You also like fishing. If we got married, we could fish together forever. Though, sometimes I do kind of worry you only come fishing so often because you know how much I like fishing…” Seokjin trailed off, worrying anxiously at his lip, and Yoongi opened his mouth as if he were about to interrupt – but Seokjin shook himself back to the present and help up a hand, cutting him off with a look that brooked no argument. “Please, just let me get through this, okay? I promise it won’t take long.”
He turned his attention back to the computer, flipping to the next slide (which featured an image of the DVD cover art for ‘Tazza’ and for Nicholas Sparks’ ‘The Notebook’ with cartoon lightning bolts sizzling between them) before resuming his narration. “Point number two: we have exactly opposite taste in movies. Now, some might see this as a drawback, but I disagree – see, if either of us had a partner that liked all the same things we liked, we’d never have the chance to broaden our horizons like you and I are forced to. Not to mention the physical exercise we get fighting for the remote, or the intellectual stimulation involved in coming up with increasingly creative bribes! Ergo, having a partner with whom you saw eye to eye would be a far less fulfilling experience – ”
It looked like Yoongi was trying to break in once again. Hurriedly, Seokjin navigated to the next slide, unwilling to let up now that he’d finally worked up the nerve to get started. His voice was almost a squeak. “Point number three! We both play guitar. This is a good thing, because if we ever wanted to start a band we’d already have both the lead and the rhythm guitarist covered! Good rhythm guitarists are hard to find! This isn’t the kind of opportunity you want to just throw away – ”
“Seokjin.” Yoongi’s voice was loud, commanding, and Seokjin cut off abruptly, glancing across the table at him fearfully. Yoongi shook his head incredulously, staring at Seokjin as if he’d grown a second head – though Seokjin fancied he could see a soft pink blush beginning to creep over Yoongi’s nose. “Hyung. It’s okay. Trust me – I don’t need to see the rest.”
Seokjin worried his lip, glancing back at the computer screen dubiously. “Are you sure? I mean – I’ve still got 28 more slides…”
“28 – ”
