   Summary

   Mercutio is in love with Benvolio. Romeo is in love with Juliet. Both are forbidden. Instead of committing fake-turned-real suicides, Mercutio and Juliet get married to keep their real relationships a secret. Unfortunately, Paris and Tybalt are determined to prove what a fraud their marriage is. Will they destroy everyone's lives? Or will they find happiness instead?

   A Romeo and Juliet AU inspired by crystallizedtwilight's Tumblr post.
