RATING/WARNING(S): G, no warnings apply
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 2466 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Penny Cod, Lila Robinson, Emerson Cod, Olive Snook, Ned, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles

FIC SUMMARY: Young Penny Cod was nine years, two hours, and forty-three minutes old when she found the book which changed her life. Like hundreds of other little black girls who would encounter Li’l Gumshoe, she felt as though it had been written just for her. The difference was, Penny Cod was right.

RECCER'S NOTES: I've always been kind of bummed about the fact that we never got to see Emerson Cod reunite with his daughter on the show. This fic helped fill that gap nicely, fitting with the tone of the show quite well.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Ned (Pushing Daisies)

FIC SUMMARY: He's taller than Dean expects and he smells like apple pie.

RECCER'S NOTES:

A fantastic, clever idea, and Dean's view on Ned's world is just precious and hilarious. The first lines:

He's taller than Dean expects and he smells like apple pie. It should throw him more than it does. But then this place isn't like anywhere else. A bright slice of hectic colour and gaudy shine. It's like the normal rules no longer apply. He thinks, for one serious minute, that he's taken a wrong turn and gotten lost in some Trickster's drunken fever dream.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Emerson Cod, Ned, Charlotte Charles, Olive Snook

FIC SUMMARY: The knitting detective is a rib-stitch man in a cable-knit world, and yet the trials of friendship are less of a burden than he believes.

RECCER'S NOTES:

So, I'm sure most of us are over Christmas already, but I can't possibly wait until next Christmas to rec this! One of my favourite fics to come out of Yuletide 2013, this fic captures the characters' voices and the feeling of the canon perfectly.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Olive Snook, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Ned, Emerson Cod

FIC SUMMARY: Pie, parrots, and impromptu performances – just another day in the life of Olive Snook.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This fic is so gorgeous! It really reads like an Olive-centric episode of Pushing Daisies - great voices, a great case to investigate, and exactly the right amount of humour and quirkiness. Olive is fantastic in this.
