Line 2:
An [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] implemented by way of two (or sometimes [[Polyamory|more]]) characters from different sources getting married while drunk in [[Viva Las Vegas|Las Vegas]]. Almost always starts off with the involved parties waking up the next morning and discovering, in order, 1) their hangovers, 2) each other, 3) their nudity, and 4) their wedding rings and/or marriage license. Photos and/or video of [[Elvis]] officiating at their nuptials are optional, but always appreciated. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as they attempt to reconstruct what happened the previous night (in addition to the obvious) and reveal/obscure their respective histories and secrets to/from each other.
 
Most often results in a decision to stay married, at least temporarily, until some issue or question is resolved. The crossover elements are further brought into play when explanations must be made to their coworkers, friends and/or families.
 
In most cases the story assumes the two continuities have always existed together in the same world, and have just not intersected before the happy occasion.
 
This is a relatively new subtype of [[Crossover]], apparently born withinduring the lastearly few years2000s. It seems to have first appeared on the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic site ''Twisting The Hellmouth'' (which you may have noticed due to the below), but stories of this format have been spotted in other venues such as fanfiction.net, suggesting it is an actively-growing meme.
