I never told my wife I had an ex-fianceeÂ
One thing I never told my wife is that I had a fiancee before her. Itâs a long story, so buckle up.
It was the year after I graduated college. I was dating my girlfriend, Stephanie, for a couple years and things were getting serious. At the time, I had my roommate, Joey, but he was a Craigslist roommate. We didnât know each other very well. If you asked me how I knew him aside from Craigslist, the answer is I didnât. He wouldnât even tell me where he grew up.
Now, no shit, on the day I was going to propose, tragedy struck. I adorned our apartment with candles and even set up a nice glass display with framed pictures of me and Steph on top. Before Steph came in, Joey walked in and tripped. He actually shattered the glass display and got some in his face. Steph came in a few minutes later as I was on the phone with 911. Fortunately, Steph is a nurse, so she was able to patch him up as the three of us went to the hospital together.
Joey would recover, but he had some issues with glass on his face. He needed some cotton gauze inside his eye, which fortunately the doctors were able to save.
Clearly, I put off my proposal for the time being, but Steph and I agreed to get married. Our engagement was hush hush. Stephâs hours were wonky so she took care of Joey when I wasnât around. And I shouldâve seen the red flags, but I ignored them. Theyâd hang out together with and without me. Theyâd be in Joeyâs room and lock the door.
One day, I came home and all of Joeyâs stuff was gone. He moved out. Steph wrote a note. The note said, âWe fell in love and weâre leaving together. Donât try to find us.â
I didnât listen and I searched, but true to the note, I couldnât find them. Iâll never know what happened.
Suffice to say,
if it hadnât been for Cotton-Eye Joe
Iâd have been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"
I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.
