Joan Marries Craig?

Apparently, there exists more than one AU in which Jennifer Taylor marries Jack Kinney, thus making Brian and Justin stepbrothers. My suspension of disbelief fails to kick in at the idea of Jennifer being tasteless enough to marry Jack.

However, the idea of Joan Kinney marrying Craig Taylor doesn't seem as far fetched, especially if, as AU's often do, one minimizes the age differences between all the relevant parties. So, does such a fic exist?

ETA: Despite the high comment count, no such fics have been found--yet.

Since Joan Kinney looks to be 20 years older than Craig, it's beyond squicky to me.

Also, the idea that any sane woman (which leaves out Joanie) would marry Jack
Kinney as he's portrayed in the show is ludicrous. And the age difference between
Jack and Jennifer Taylor is even greater than between Joan and Craig.

If Justin is 17 when the show begins and Jennifer had Justin when she was quite
young -- 18? 19? -- then she's closer to Brian's age. She'd only be in her mid-30's
at the time of the show's start.

That's an interesting spin mysid. I'd read it, if such an animal existed!

I can't believe I remembered that someone asked for this, lol. I'm going through a lot of really old posts and, whaddya know, I (sort of) found a Joan marries Craig fic. Now, unless I'm missing something at the author's LJ, it doesn't look like they ever wrote more than two chapters, meaning it doesn't even really get started enough to be able to leave you hanging, lol. But I thought you might be interested to know that it at least occurred to someone! :)
