Summary
George and Bertha Russell cannot get divorced.
When his parents drop the massive bomb that they’re splitting up, Larry Russell uproots his life in Boston to move back to New York, because he’s determined to get them to see they belong together. And his plan is foolproof – all he needs is a woman willing to play the part of his fiancée, so his parents will have no choice but to see each other for all kinds of wedding related activities.
Marian Brook had no intention of agreeing to fake marry Larry Russell – at least, not until she runs into her ex boyfriend at her absolute lowest, and blurts out she’s engaged. Now they’re tangled up in each other’s lives, trying to get his parents back together, and convince her ex she’s happy and moved on.
If the lines between real and fake get a bit blurry, it really isn’t their fault, is it?
Larian Modern AU. George/Bertha, Gladys/Hector on the side.

Summary
Once an idea was formed in Bertha's mind, little could she or anyone do to make it go away. So it was really unfortunate that her sister decided to make Bertha question her life's choices on her own birthday no less. She was Bertha O'Brien, handsome, clever and rich. Insanely rich. Her company's worth was around 740 million and it was the largest and most successful matchmaking business on the east coast, second in America. Most important of all, Gilded X gave her satisfaction like nothing else; she was yet to find something that could give her such a fulfilling sensation as a match well done.
Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma.
