[innie_darling]

Hi, everybody!

It's the birthday of the lovely Signe, who is one of the most gracious and generous people I've met in fandom. Honey (ha!), since you wrote the first Pushing Daisies fic I read, I thought you might like one in return, for your birthday. It's PG-13, about Lily and Vivian and Chuck, and there are spoilers through 1x09 ("Corpsicle

I still love how this dealt with siblings. Yay!

[innie_darling]

I'm still giddy with how much better you made this. Thanks, honey!

This is gorgeous.

[innie_darling]

You are sweeter than pie!

Oh, beautiful in its balance and change and growth. I love this so terribly much I can hardly stand it.

(And it did not make me sad at all.)

[innie_darling]

Phew! Glad I haven't contributed any more tears! And thanks!

Oh, this is such a gorgeous look at Lily and Vivian, their complexities and relationship and the depth of their bond. It's perfectly them, and I feel quite overwhelmed that you've written something so gorgeous for me! Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

I want to quote the entire story, but this is just one of the many lines that made me shiver with pleasure and the rightness of it.

Vivian because she feels that they are two halves of a single whole anyway, and Lily because she can't quite forget that her sister had been the one to make her eye patches in every shade of the rainbow, ruining her own sight by making them lovely as carved ivory miniatures, Charlotte's jewels and sequins to sparkle against silk.

Oh, I'm so pleased you liked this! It was wonderful writing something for you, and I hope you had a lovely day.
