#batman was also invited to the wedding obvi

[lady-literature]

I love your Constantine x Marinette AU! Its definitely a rare pair I love! Could you please do a Constantine x Marinette, where JL know that Constantine is married but they don't know to whom, and they become super shocked at the fact that he's married to Marinette.

I had like five different versions of how I wanted this to go and I literally could not decide for the longest time which I liked more I am so sorry for the wait r i p

John isn’t what one would call a ‘good person’.

In fact, he’s sure there’s a whole dictionary of words to use before anyone ever arrived at ‘good’. Selfish, callous, rude, crass, a right bloody dick—the list goes on. So, the fact that he somehow found himself married (which is a miracle in itself, honestly) to the definition of ‘complete and utter sweetheart’, well… it’s bloody barmy is what it is.

It’s no wonder people are so damn surprised after finding out who the missus is.

Not that, mind you, John gives them a break for their admittedly valid reactions. He’s still an asshole, after all.

“What’s with all the slack jaws?” John drawls with false confusion. “It’s no secret I got hitched last year.”

“I- Well, yes,” Flash says, eyes practically popping out of his mask. “But you never said who it was to. And, I mean, I kinda figured you were lying or playing some sort of joke or something.”

John raises an amused eyebrow. “Sorry to disappoint then, speedy, but I really am off the market.”

“Are we just-” Lantern says a bit hysterically, “are we just ignoring that it was Menagerie who you apparently married? Menagerie. As in, Superman’s sister Menagerie.”

A thought seems to come to him—which John thinks must be a first—and Hal whips around to face Supes.

“Did you know about this?!” he accuses.

Superman blinks at him with that sort of country boy innocence that somehow skipped right over Marinette. “‘Course I knew. Who else was supposed to be the Maid of Honor?”

Lantern’s mouth opens and closes uselessly.

“And the dress looked fantastic on you, Supes,” John compliments, just to see if Lantern’s head will actually explode. “But not as great as it looked on Diana.”

“Diana knew too?” Flash asks, whirling on said amazonian.

“Menagerie is a beloved shield sister of mine. I was honored to support her during her handfasting.”

Flash groans. “Did everyone but me and Hal know?”

The other heroes all share a look before, as one, they answer, “yes.”
