Summary
When Abby Griffin decides to move back to Arkadia – the quaint, Vermont town where she grew up - she’s looking for a fresh start, not a trip down memory lane. But a snowstorm damages the roof of her new house, sending Abby to the only inn Arkadia has to offer: Eden Tree Lodge, a historic guesthouse and Christmas tree farm. Marcus Kane, the owner, inherited the business from his mother, and he and the Griffins were once friends; but they parted on bad terms and haven’t spoken in years. Abby’s hopes of avoiding an awkward run-in are dashed when she arrives on his doorstep with a trunk full of suitcases and finds neither Marcus, nor his jealous fiancée Diana, at all pleased to see her. Meanwhile, her daughter Clarke’s disappointment at spending Christmas in a hotel increases when she learns that Kane refuses to celebrate it, or even decorate (despite the hundreds of Christmas trees at his disposal). The Griffin women are determined to make Eden Tree Lodge and its grumpy owner merry for the holidays by hook or by crook; as Christmas grows closer, so do Abby and Marcus, as the decades-long estrangement between them slowly crumbles away, forcing them both to unlock doors into their past they would rather leave unopened.

Summary
As far as Marcus could remember, he'd had the extraordinary ability of bringing dead things back to life just by touching them. So when Abby Griffin, his best friend's widow and the woman he loves, dies, he has a solution at hand. But there are stipulations to his gift; in order to keep her alive, he can never touch her again.
(A Pushing Daisies AU written for the 2017 Halloween Challenge).

Summary
Peace has finally been established between all 13 clans. The celebration of the new treaty goes well enough - until Prince Reghan of the Broadleaf clan settles his eyes on Abby. To protect her from the prince's aggressive advances, Marcus proclaims that Abby is his betrothed, despite her being just his friend (and the object of his indefinable feelings). The prince is skeptical - so he decides to test the claim by throwing the pair a grandiose Grounder wedding. Lexa makes it clear that Marcus and Abby cannot refuse; the whole peace is at stake if the prince, known for being easily provoked, finds out he was lied to.
It's up to Marcus and Abby to keep up the facade of a romantic relationship and go through with the wedding. Their mission is definitely going to be awkward, but achievable for the sake of the alliance. However, things turn complicated when they both realize that pretending to be in love is alarmingly easy...
