It was actually conceived as a non-fandom weekly drabble
Yep, that's what I thought, as well. Fic has its very own topic.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Because books.
"A Cup of Coffee and a Piece of Pie"
The house is emptying out, the last goodbyes called softly in deference to grief. I barely acknowledge them, but I’m allowed to check out today. It’s my right as the widow.
The kitchen is littered with paper plates, the remains of casseroles, coffee cakes. I haven’t touched them. I’ve barely moved since we returned from the grave.
My daughter asks, “Do you want to lie down?”
I shake my head. I want to end the day the way we did together for the last twenty-five years. With a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. From now on, alone.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Amy broke me.

I'm getting the pig!
Wonderful drabble, AmyLiz! Heartbreaking, but wonderful.

Aw. Thanks, guys. I don't know why I went there, actually.
Loved Sail and Aimee and Jilli's drabbles, myself.

I may never look at pie as something simple again.

I liked yours a lot, AmyLiz. For some reason, my mind keeps going to serial killers and pie.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph, did you get an email from me about next week. There's no rush, of course, what with the next week and all, but I just realized I may have sent it to the wrong email.
I did get it, and I was just (mostly) away from the computer all weekend, so I owe a lot of people e-mail.
In any case, I can definitely do the topic next week. Though it will probably help if you can remind me.
And that was the right e-mail addy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cool. I will remind you.
