The morning after a one-night stand, Stefan and Caroline find themselves deep within the consequences of a mistake that led them to the altar, despite the fact that they haven't seen or even spoken to each other in years. But what if this marriage can actually benefit them both? Will they be able to remain Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore with absolutely no strings attached, at all? AU.

It's the week before Christmas and roommates Bonnie and Caroline wake up from a wild night out with two unexpected guests: Bonnie's personified brood of a best friend, Stefan, and Caroline's booty-call-of-the-month, Damon.
