A/N: I don't own Dex, Saracen, Val, Tanith, Skul, Ghastly, Anton, Larrikin or Erskine. This is going to be hyper and silly because I'm celebrating, but it is what it is. Set after the novels so Val is in her 20s. If you have a problem with gay marriage or gay fanfic just turn around and sashay away, honey. I so don't want to hear it.

Saracen walked into the Irish Sanctuary alongside Dexter. Both men had been in the crowd the day the news had passed. Gay marriage was finally legal in Ireland. And, in a rare show of agreeing with a mortal government the Sanctuary had followed suit. And so now many couples were showing up to be wed after decades or centuries of living in silence and shame.

And the two Dead Men were done hiding as well. Saracen gave Dexter a goofy grin as they joined the line that snaked towards the Grand Mage's office. "You look handsome today. No, you do." He said and Dex laughed.

They'd been a couple for years and as soon as Erskine had called them the night before they had decided to take it as a sign. They were wearing traveling clothes, close to what they'd wear for a mission, and that of course, was the point. They wanted the world to know that yes, they were gay and bi respectively, and that yes, they were still very much indeed men and very much Dead Men to boot.

Valkyrie came walking down the long line of happy couples to them, grinning hugely. "About time you two tied the knot. Now if only someone would light a fire under Ghastly and Skulduggery we'd be fine."

"I thought you loved him." Dexter said, surprised, and Valkyrie blushed.

"I, uh, liked someone else too. I think what I had for him was puppy love more or less. But what I have for her is real." She paused then looked at them and Saracen could sense the punchline coming but hid his smile. "But it is a mixed marriage, you won't hold it against me that she's English, will you?"

Then men both grinned as Tanith sauntered up behind Val to put her arms around her newly minted bride. Valkyrie giggled and Tanith flashed the men a crooked smile. "Looks like everyone had the same idea. Won't be any going back on the Sanctuary's part either, magical laws tend to stick."

"Which is why we're all here." A voice said from behind them and Saracen turned in surprise to see Anton and Larrikin. The friends kept company and the women watched proudly as Saracen and Dex could at last exchange vows.

Saracen felt happy tears prick his eyes as he slipped the ring on Dex's finger and when he could at last kiss his husband he was truly blissful. They agreed to wait and witness Anton and Larrikin's marriage then the couples all walked out of the Sanctuary together.

They agreed to make a stop at a cafe not far from the Sanctuary to celebrate. It wouldn't be much, just tea and coffee and perhaps some kind of dessert, but it would be a good enough wedding party to all of them. And then the couples could split up and continue onto their chosen destinations. Saracen hadn't told Dex where he planned on taking him just yet, but he hoped he could surprise the experienced globetrotter and hedonist.

And as they got in their rental together he leaned over and kissed Dexter softly. "I'm never going to get tired of being able to do that." He said happily and from Dex's smile he knew he never would either.

Yay, gay marriage legalized in Ireland at last! 5/23/15. A day to celebrate indeed.
