Ok, Fay...if that's true, you're funny. Fandom being what it is though, I never am sure what's serious. Pumpkin pie kind of puzzles me too, actually. Though I've tried a few times, trying to be a loyal American and etc. Still would rather have cheesecake and cherries or something.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I want to start a band and name it this. We'll do covers of Toad the Wet Sprocket songs remixed as Sousa marches.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Are they all puns or some such? I'm still not getting "Pumpkin Pie". I don't get "Guns and Handcuffs" either unless it's because that's the only way that pairing would actually happen.

There is nothing to get, afaik. There is no cunning wordplay. It's just a phrase that's supposed to be a codeword for a given pairing. I think that some of them derive from specific fics, from what the Wikipedia said, but no, I don't think there's a particular schemata in action.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It is sort of like Roswell, I think, which took me forever to understand. And probably for similar reasons-- because they both have a lot of characters with names starting with the same letter. Harry, Hermione. Ron, Remus. Sirius, Snape. Michael, Maria, Max

Today a Mr Snape phoned me up! But he didn't sound like Alan Rickman.
