schmericaJust so you all know, if I was going to write a sequel to Moving To Hong Kong On Business, it would be the story of how Pete and Mikey not only did not think through their hasty marriage, but actually did not read the fine print at all. Because, according to the FAQs on same sex marriages I've read, although Canada does not have a residency requirement for marriage, it does have one for divorce.
No, seriously. The FAQ recommends residing in Canada for a full year before the courts will grant you a divorce.
HILARITY, you guys. They would have to move to Canada! It's like a really long, incredibly boring vacation. I think this would take multiple tries on their parts, you know? Everytime they try, they last two weeks up there before turning to each other and going "Dude, I don't know" and "Things are pretty okay how they are, anyway, right?" and head back home.
Everytime Mikey comes back to Alicia, she's like "...Still married?" and he's like "UM." And she rolls her eyes again and buys another cat hoodie.
Basically, the combination of laziness and inertia means Pete and Mikey would stay married foreeeeeeeeever. You guys, I am not going to write this, but if I could find someone who would I would bribe them with porn and cookies. It's GLORIOUS.

6/12/07 03:13 (UTC)also, the title of your story totally takes me to an AU place where pete and mikey are high powered businessmen who get sent to hong kong for work. it's kind of wretchedly amazing. the lights! the wonton soup! pete's botched attempts to learn phrases in chinese "just in case"!

But now I am totally intrigued by your AU idea. There's something about people being set down and living across the world, in this totally different culture, that appeals to me so strongly. *big eyes* The two of them in this totally foreign but totally cosmopolitan huge city together! Wow.
