I Don't Think About Crossovers All The Time, I Swear.
I've only seen two episodes so far (episodes one and three, because ITV are weird and decided to skip the second one), but I am really enjoying Pushing Daisies! It is adorable and funny and full of character detail and I don't think I've ever seen anything for which 'quirky' was a more appropriate description. Also, its tone is a wonderfully bizarre blend of the morbid and the charming. And I was fully expecting Chuck's aunts to turn out to be Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker figures when they were first introduced, so I'm terribly glad they ended up being Aunt Sweet and Aunt Awesome instead.
Ned the Piemaker is totally one of the 'gifted' children from Supernatural, isn't he? Oh, man, an AU crossover version of 'All Hell Breaks Loose' could work so well. You can see it, can't you? Dean begs Ned to bring Sam back to life in exchange for him (Dean, not Ned; I don't think Dean would grab Ned by the collar and go SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR MY BROTHER (although I am increasingly suspecting that Sam might)), and Ned is incredibly reluctant but eventually agrees, and he touches Sam, and then Sam and Dean have their final minute together and I'm sorry, did I say 'work so well'? I meant 'be so insanely heartbreaking'.
I suppose there could be someone else within proximity they didn't know about, and so they could die instead, but then Dean would be completely torn apart by guilt (because seriously, the number of people who have died so Dean could live? I can name three clear-cut 'either Dean or another person has to die' cases off the top of my head; another three cases of 'Dean is going to die, but something intervenes to save him and as a result someone else dies instead', and I have no doubt there are more. Dean's got some pretty big 'I am so not supposed to be alive' issues, which I think is part of the reason he sold his soul. Obviously he loves Sam more than anything, but I'm not sure whether he'd have taken that step if he didn't already believe he was supposed to be dead three times over).
ANYWAY. Long bracketed aside aside: Ned touches Sam. Sam and Dean spend what they think is their last minute together. (I can see Sam's face in my mind right now and it is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen in my life.) Bobby dies. NO WAIT NO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I TAKE IT BACK oh, augh, it would be Bobby, wouldn't it? Because his being nearby would make sense, and because Things Go Wrong For The Winchesters, it is a fact, and so if Dean doesn't die it's definitely going to be someone they love. And Dean would be so devastated. It would be horrible.

If he dies, I shall be so distressed.
