The very true story of how a freelance superhero working for a top-secret organization has to deal with some very uncomfortable facts of life (and evil mad scientists who want to take over the world). (The Middleman AU) (Cook/Archuleta)

wordcount: 18,850
rating: NC-17
warnings: non-explicit violence
notes: Written for mrsachid's prompt "mpreg" as part of cookleta_hols and originally posted here! Some lines were taken from the show, especially episodes one, four and eleven; The Middlepedia and TV Tropes were also invaluable. Information on pregnancy should not be taken as medical advice. No pop culture references were harmed in the production of this story.

A multitude of thanks to the following: epicflailer for her enthusiasm and hand-holding, the wrisomifu community for its support as I wrote the last 9000 words, rajkumari905 for the encouraging read-through and jehane18 for the speedy beta. Any remaining mistakes are my own.

Part 1 • Part 2 • Part 3

OMG I CAN BELIEVE I ENJOYED IT, BUT I DID.

I don't think I would've continued reading if it weren't hilarious and well written. Yes, I was *that* bored.

I still don't ship it but my sister now calls me a ArchiexCookie fan D:

I am running a victory lap in my head! \o/ I'm pleased I could provide a pleasant diversion for you :D

Come to the dark side! We have cookies, bad puns that involve cookies and unicorn princelings!

I just finished reading it now...AND I LOVED IT!!!! It was hilarious and very entertaining... so much so that I didn't get to do any work here in the office the whole morning. It was THAT much engaging for me. Thank you for sharing this! :)

Great job...
