i wasnt kidding about pushing daisies AU
summary for ppl unfamiliar with pushing daisies: dirk is a man born with the ability to wake the dead through touching them. when he touches the dead they come back to life, but if he touches them again, they return to being dead, but this time forever. he grows up distant from people, fearing social connections because of his powers.
he eventually grows to become the piemaker, with waitress roxy, who desperately wishes to become closer to someone as impenetrable as dirk, and jane crocker, private eye who knows that solving mysteries is easier when your business partner can wake the dead and ask them who killed them.
one day, dirk finds out that jake english, childhood sweet heart, was murdered while travelling, and revives him. they fall in love as they reconnect, despite the fact that they can never touch or else jake would return to being dead, forever. they do tooth rottingly cute things like kiss through saran wrap, hold hands with gloves and dance while wearing bee keeping suits
it’s a really great show, if i could write i would do more w this AU
