For the first day of @roudiseshipweek prompt family, have a slice of The Apple of my Pie.
Also on A03
“The Apple of my Pie?” Teddy asked, eyeing the sliced pie under the glass case that sat on the corner of the counter.
“Comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream,” Louise answered. She tried to hide how eager she was for Teddy’s approval, but her fingers nervously tapped at notepad she used to take orders.
It had started with her taking home economics in grade eight. Louise figured it would be an easy class that required no actual work. Instead, Ms. Fraser, who Wagstaff had hired the year before, actually expected something from her students. Louise had fumbled her way through a unit on basic sewing but found her footing when it came time to learn how to cook.
Sure, having a dad that owned a restaurant and loved to cook, she expected to have some useful skills. What she hadn’t expected was how much she had enjoyed their first baking assignment. Not only that, but how well her chocolate chip cookies had turned out.
And then the snickerdoodles, which Rudy had promptly devoured before they could bring any home. Which, paired with his compliment, made Louise’s chest feel both warm and too tight at once.
Louise had thought it was a fluke. Cookies were easy. And so were the biscuits, cakes, and pies they were tasked to make. Even if Andy and Ollie had regularly produced items that were simultaneously burnt and raw, Jessica’s was too dense, and Rudy’s a touch too bland.
Baking was so easy that Louise just kept doing it after she finished the class. Birthdays, Christmas, even one Hannukah where Rudy had her help him with his grandmother’s recipes, any excuse to lose herself in flour and sugar.
Now, three years later and with an eyeroll worthy food handlers’ course behind her, Louise had her first weekend special on display. Her father had been the one to ask if Louise wanted to try selling a special dessert on weekends.
“We’d pay you for it, uh, maybe not enough for a car, but as a bonus on top of your regular shifts.” Her dad had cleared his throat then, and Louise realized he was fighting emotions as he added: “I always dreamed one of you would work with me some day.”
Snapping back to the present, Louise wrote down Teddy’s order of one burger of the day (Hamburger to the Slaw-ter, comes with apple slaw) and one slice of pie.
Her nerves were put to a temporary rest as Teddy devoured his warmed slice and asked for one to take home. Her father’s regular was one of two people Louise needed to like her first featured dessert. The other, who would only be able to show up late today because of pre-concert band practice, was her best friend, Rudy. Though that title seemed to be getting hazy the older they got.
They still did all the same things they did as kids: pull pranks, play games, watch movies, go on adventures, but their solo ventures seemed to have something lingering under the surface. Louise did not like thinking about this though, and just chalked it up to weird teenage existentialism over their impeding adulthood. Or something like that.
Definitely not that the older they got, more Louise came to terms with liking boys, that she realized that she imagined them together whenever she thought about her hypothetical marriage.
These thoughts were flung far from her mind by the busy lunch rush. It seemed that news of their new specialty sweet, paired with their growing social media presence, was paying off.
Checking her phone between customers, Louise found no new texts from Rudy. Which meant that he was still practicing. And not yet here to try what she made. The lunch rush slowed, leaving half the pie in its glass case.
Still enough for when he showed up. Cause he would show up. Rudy wouldn’t bail on her without saying anything. Not even when Chloe Barbash, who played second clarinet, could sweep in and distract him in the way teenage boys often were in Tina’s favorite movies.
The chime of the door opening broke her out of her thoughts of strawberry scented distractions. The first customers of the dinner rush were coming. Today was shaping into a busy one. Which Louise was grateful for, busy hands meant a busy mind after all, until she noticed Tina plating the last slice of pie towards the end of the evening.
And Rudy still had not come in yet.
Disappointment pooled in her stomach as she watched as that slice of pie was set in front of a customer. She should’ve been happy her pie had sold out. Happy that people were asking if there was anymore in the back. But all she could think about was Rudy not showing up. She didn’t get any texts telling her he was delayed or had a change of plans, so Louise concluded he must have forgotten.
It was a thought that stung more than Rudy not liking her creation.
“Not important, things happen,” Louise muttered to herself as she bussed the now empty tables after closing.
“What was that dear?” her mom asked.
“Nothing,” Lousie answered. And it was nothing. Rudy rarely flaked on their plans, so whenever he pulled a no-show Louise forgave him. Even when this meant a lot to her, she wouldn’t make much of fuss.
“Oh, all right then.” Her mom said, sounding unconvinced, “Let me finish up down here so you can get that pie you saved for us in the oven. Ooh, I’ve been thinking about it all day so I wouldn’t steal some today.”
Louise laughed as she handed the full tray to her mom and headed towards the door. As she locked the restaurant behind her, a familiar wheeze sounded behind her.
“Sorry Louise…practice went late…had to run all the way here…” Rudy panted between wheezes.
“Oh no, I’m too late, aren’t I?”
Any hurt feelings melted at the sight of her friend, red faced and bent double, outside her home. His timing, while slightly off, still brought him to an opportunity dine at the Belcher residence, if he chose to accept a last-minute invitation.
“Too late for a burger and pie,” Louise agreed, “but not too late for a Gene Special followed up with Louise’s apple pie with ice cream and homemade caramel sauce.”
Rudy’s head shot up, a smile on his face. He pulled out his phone and began typing out a message before pausing.
“You sure? Isn’t a Gene Special a family thing?”
Louise shrugged. Usually, whenever Gene’s night to cook came up, it was on a night they didn’t have guests over. It wasn’t a hard and fast rule, just something that protected their friends from Gene’s more creative food pairings. Tonight’s chicken vindaloo pot pie with a garlic naan crust was a tamer offering, though the spice level may leave Rudy coughing.
 “Well, I guess you’re part of the family now,” Louise said ignoring the way Rudy’s cheeks flushed, “no escaping it now.”
“Cool,” Rudy said, following as Louise opened the door to the apartment, “does that make Gene my brother-in-law or something?”
“That means you’d have to marry Tina or I, and I know Tina’s spoken for already.”
“Hmm,” was all he said, and it was Louise’s turn to have her cheeks glow red.
“Hey Louise, and Rudy! Are you here for a helping of the Gene Special?” Gene called, spotting the two as they entered the kitchen.
“Yup. Louise invited me if that’s alright?”
“It is, but do your parents know?” Her dad asked from where he was hovering over Gene’s progress, “I don’t want your parents to worry.”
“Already told them,” Rudy said.
Dinner, despite Louise’s thought that curry and pot pies did not go together, went much better than Gene’s first ‘special’ of baked potato lasagna. Especially when it was followed up with her apple pie, warm from the oven, topped with ice cream and caramel sauce.
After dinner, Louise convinced Rudy to stay for a movie, which they were allowed to watch together in her room with the door open.
“If I can have pie like that every Saturday, then I’d marry you in a heartbeat.”
Rudy’s comment broke through Louise’s focus on the screen, and she cast a glance at him in the dim light. He wasn’t looking at her, his hands on the bed at his sides, and Louise reached over and laced their fingers together.
“Maybe we wait ten years before the proposals,” she said nonchalantly.
Her heartbeat skipped as Rudy squeezed her hand. Smiling, she squeezed back.

The two fics I posted today- one for today's Roudise Week prompt and one tardy one for Day 5- are probably the two sappiest, fluffiest pieces of Roudise fluff that I have written.
Which is saying something, given that Roudise fluff is like 81% of the fic that I write...

My "Bob Actually" inspired fics
Tumblr media
Today is the anniversary of the airdate of "Bob Actually". It is probably my favorite episode of the series for a number of reasons (not just the Roudise kiss!), but it feels even more important to me now because without it, I probably never would have been pulled into this larger world of "Bob's Burgers" fandom. Literally. It inspired my first fic. And inspired or co-inspired several more.
So, for any of my fellow Louise/Rudy fans out there who need just a little more Roudise love after rewatching the episode, I thought I would compile my fics inspired by it:
"Surely It's Okay if I Just Tell Pancake?"- After getting his first (non-parents and grandmother) kiss from Louise at the end of “Bob Actually”, Regular-Sized Rudy goes home and talks about the day’s events and his feelings for Chloe and Louise to the one friend he knows will keep it a secret- his stuffed flounder, Pancake. (My very first "Bob's Burgers" fic and first piece of fiction writing in over a decade!)
"Old Friends/Bookends"- In their early-20s, Louise and Rudy are moving in to their first apartment together. They unpack a box that was in storage at Rudy's dad's and find Rudy's beloved stuffed flounder, Pancake. Unfortunately, he is not in the best shape. (The quasi-sequel to "Surely It's Okay If I Just Tell Pancake?")
"The Barbash Inquisition"- When Louise is assigned to work on a class project with Chloe Barbash, she ends up confessing a secret to the last person she’d want to. For Roudise Week 2023, Day 3 Prompts: Jealousy/Crush. (Set a few weeks after "Bob Actually" and features Louise and Chloe discussing the episode. My least fluffy story, but it's really fun trying to see Louise and Rudy's relationship from Chloe's POV and just somewhat humanizing Chloe in general.)
"Happy Anniversary (Whenever It Is...)"-Fifteen-year-old Rudy gives Louise a gift to celebrate the first anniversary of their first date. Louise does not agree that it is their first anniversary. Written for Flufftober 2023 prompt Day 13 “wrong”, in this case “wrong anniversary date” (My framing story for a Roudise "clip show"! I love making callbacks to episodes and by my count refer to eight different Louise/Rudy adventures in this less than 3,000 word story- and at least two of my favorite non-Rudy episodes. "Bob Actually" most definitely comes up!)
Hope someone enjoys this! I just wanted to try to do something to celebrate the anniversary of this episode that means so much to me!

As last night's episode introduced yet another Louise nickname for Rudy, I'm a little annoyed with myself for forgetting to include "nickname" as one of my prompt suggestions for Roudise Ship Week 2023! Well, there's always next year!
(Also, I did already write a 2k+ word story literally devoted to Louise's nicknames for him. But I love that aspect of their relationship so much! I think I could write more!)

btw on ao3 there's an option to create a collection for like a ship week etc (for example "roudiseweek2023" collection) which you could then have anyone who posts on ao3 submit their fic and get reviewed (or i think there can be open collections too?) so it'd be easier to find them all together!!! I know other bob's burgers ship weeks have done this and it makes it easier to go back and find them all when the week is finished. for future reference if u ever do another roudise week or for the remaining days of this week if you wanted to :)
Oh wow that’s so cool, I didn’t know that was an option! I have seen it done before for other weeks in the past, and I’ll look into making one at the end of the week. I’ll post on here the final collection, so then everyone can see the works from 2023 Roudise week! Thank you so much 💓💓
