My Mother's Obsession With Pies is a Hanson fanfic written by Kate.

The story is written in a Bridget Jones's Diary sort of stream of consciousness style, with multiple narrators including all three Hanson brothers and their love interests. The story takes a humorous approach to the "girl next door" trope, with the girl presenting Taylor with the titular pie after moving in next door. To quote the author:[1]

'My Mother's Obsession With Pies (And Other Topics of Teenage Angst)' actually began as a compilation of some short stories that never really went anywhere. The beginning of Chapter 2 was a short story called 'That Carrot Thing', although the main character of that story before it succumbed to 'Pies' was something like Primrose. I've always been big on unusual names, if you couldn't tell. It's probably my Freudian defence mechanism against enduring the name Kate - which is as common as ....Britney Spears.
