Kiki's Confitures by innie-darling [Pushing Daisies plus a Middleman guest character, Olive, Emerson, Ned, Chuck, Alfredo, Raveena Rao and OFC (the delightfully named Kiki Kippycash), various canon pairings, PG, 5,700 words]
"You really think that girl's Ned's ex?"
"Yeah, I do," he said without any shilly-shallying. "And that ain't no bitchy crosstown express, neither. You asked and I'm answerin'. But it don't matter if Pie Boy had a dozen exes swarming the place, because there's only one girlfriend who won't ever have ex in front of her title, and that's Dead Girl."
Olive Snook took a deep breath and finally nodded. "Guess I should wise up, huh?"
"Damn straight you better, 'specially if you want to figure out what that other girl was up to in this kitchen." He took a bite of his pie and parked himself on a convenient stool.
Warning: might induce a sudden craving for pie and ice-cream. And make you really miss Pushing Daisies.
