Are We There Yet? [david/patrick, G, 6,136] by @rideswraptors

After David finishes his dance for Patrick, he wants to make good on more olive branches, but he's not ready to dig into his past yet. He picks the "show" in Show and Tell.

Father and Son [david/patrick, G, 920] by @stargatewars

Johnny offers some support and advise to David before his wedding.

Lead Us Not Into Temptation [david/patrick, E, 2,854] by @play-detectives

David finds out that Patrick went to Catholic school, and they try something in the bedroom that would 100% be frowned upon by the church.

2020

Acts of Service [david/patrick, E, 3,962] by @streetlampsunset

Patrick tells David he loves him, but the things Patrick does to show him mean so much more. David finds a way to show Patrick just how much he appreciates him. Five acts of service Patrick does for David and one David does for Patrick.

And If Your Heart Wears Thin. [david/patrick, G, 1,170] by thisisfromawhileago

A little something that got stuck in my head as a group of us were discussing David and Patrick: Disaster Dads universe. Open Mic Nights became a semi-annual event at Rose Apothecary.Usually both David and Patrick would be present for the event, but once they had Eloise and Mariah in their lives, David usually stays home with the girls. David was both outright pleased and secretly disappointed.

Curl your words up into the air [david/patrick, E, 2,229] by @kiwiana-writes

There’s a long pause. “Giving you what you needed,” Patrick says finally, understanding dawning on his face. “Being the one who… who made that happen for you.” “Mm-hm,” David says triumphantly. “Service top.” “Will you please stop saying service top?”

Four Times Patrick Almost Bumped into Rachel in Schitt’s Creek (and One Time He Did) [david/patrick, G, 3,500] by fairmanor

An imagining of all the other times Patrick could have met Rachel in Schitt's Creek in 4x07, The Barbecue.

If I Had $1,000,000 - Schitt's Creek [gen, G, vid] by @januarium

The Rose family used to have several million dollars. Now they don't.

No Shame in That [david/patrick, G, 499] by @maxbegone

He’s sharing a bottle with a very exhausted-looking Stevie when, her makeup caked under her eyes from sweating under the spotlights. Patrick takes a swig and passes it right back to her as David walks in holding an obnoxiously large bouquet of flowers. For the kissing prompt: #5 comfortable kiss

Things You Said [david/patrick, G, 557] by thisisfromawhileago

Based off the tumblr prompts Things You Said

Value Added [david/patrick, T, 1,708] by TheMaura

Patrick has spent his idle time during quarantine being physically active. The results are ... very nice.

O Little Town of... [david/patrick, T, 5,852] by kostia

I used to write letters to Santa. And I wrote to him for ages after I learned he wasn’t real. After I learned there wasn’t any sleigh, no workshop, no reindeer, no elves. After I learned there was no such thing as magic. “Oh, my poor sweet boy,” interjected Marcy. “There’s always been magic.” “I know that,” answered David. “At least, I do now.”

The Kindness of Strangers [david/patrick, T, 5,797] by @different-but-the-same

“...unless you were into candy ravers with asymmetrical haircuts and a lot of pacifier necklaces, I think our paths probably crossed at the right time.” History will probably show that David and Patrick’s paths did, in fact, cross at the right time. Make that times. Because prior to that day at Ray’s, they’d already met. Twice. They just don’t remember. Probably.

The New Kid On the Block [gen, G, 2,367] by @fictasticvoyage

A stranger shows up looking for David and has a big surprise for the Rose family.

With four words on the tip of my tongue [david/patrick, E, 962] by @kiwiana-writes

It’s not David’s fault. It’s not. It’s bad timing and too much ridiculous, cheesy porn.

2022

Free Fallin' [david/patrick, T, 5,786] by HowOldAreWe

Patrick sat at the upper window of their house, looking out at the impossible labyrinth that sprawled out in all directions, then up to the horizon, and repeated to himself, " It was worth it. He was worth it.” An Icarus story in which Patrick is the son of the world's most brilliant inventor, and David, heir to the throne, is trapped in his unsolvable Labyrinth. Everyone lives happily ever after.

His David [david/patrick, G, 600] by @legalgal421

Patrick wakes up early and admires the David only he gets to see. A fluffy little ficlet that I needed and decided to write.

In the Cards [david/patrick, T, 3,103] by @mostlyinthemorning

A bookshop isn’t David’s first choice for a hook-up with a stranger. Luckily for him, Patrick isn’t interested in a hook-up.

odds n ends, unfinished business, and scenes alluded to [david/patrick, E, 2,503] by @cheesecurdsgravyandfries

A place to collect ficlets that answer unanswered questions, or address loose ends, in other Poutini fics. In other words, when I think I'm being cheeky and then someone calls me on it. Generally speaking, it's a WIP, but specifically, it's not.

Rescue Mission [david/patrick, T, 6,275] by @aoubooming

Under Ronnie's supervision upon the ship Schitt Flies, David and Stevie monitor the situation on Earth and are under strict orders to observe and report, but never interfere. When the man who always wears a blue shirt leaves his fiance and hometown, ending up stranded on an Amish farm, David comes up with a plan to save him.

the greatest thing you'll ever learn [david/patrick, T, 14,906] by @patrickredactedbrewer

Five things Patrick and David learned for each other and one thing they learned together.

to david, with love [david/patrick, T, 2,059] by @roseapothecary

“Oh, come on,” Rachel says, loosely waving one of her hands. “Don’t you remember when he was totally head-over-heels for Josh back in college? He bought him that ridiculously expensive snow globe?” It washes over David’s head like a bucket of ice water. It doesn’t help that the entire room goes silent. “What… Um, what was that?” His voice lilts almost an entire octave. Or: Patrick gets David a really nice gift for his birthday. Rachel spills some beans. Moves are made.

2024

I'm so glad you're mine. [david/patrick, T, 1,908] by anonymous

Patrick has been interested in David for a lot longer than anyone knows. This is Patrick's side of a conversation with a therapist.

David does not like being tied up especially with rope. Sebastien doesn't care.

[Podfic] I don't gamble but if I did I'd bet on us [david/patrick, T, podfic] by Amanita_Fierce

“Thank you for calling 94.1 CBC Radio, this is ‘What the Folk’, my name is Patrick and you’re on the air!” His voice sounds too loud in his headphones, and he hopes to God he’s not shouting. Shouting at his first ever on-air caller would be just his fucking luck. “Hi, Patrick? Yes, who do I speak to about the fact that you’ve played six Lumineers songs in the last hour?” * Patrick is a late-night folk radio DJ, David is the owner of a car with a broken radio dial and opinions that need to be shared. [Podfic of I don't gamble but if I did I'd bet on us, written by ships-to-sail]

big (baby) news [david & alexis, G, 2,719] by orphan_account

Instead of confessing to the fact that, while she is pregnant, she hasn’t really made any decisions regarding the future of the pregnancy and baby, she pretends to be offended, like she might have been had she not been pregnant, dramatically crying, “Oh, my God, that’s so mean!” (what if alexis was actually pregnant in "the pregnancy test"?)

Do I want to fall in love with you? [david/patrick, NR, 4,429] by For_pucks_sake

Alternate Universe where Patrick is still figuring things out and is still unsure whether to act on his impulses towards David. Having just moved to Schitt’s Creek, he visits the Wobbly Elm regularly to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Nice Guys Finish Last [david/patrick, E, 5,080] by @spiffymittens

A little part of David hoped that, if he played his cards right, Patrick might help him relax the way they sometimes did for each other when one of them had had a rough day. Because nothing says 'I love you' like a glass of wine (or in Patrick’s case, a tumbler of bourbon) and a blowjob on the couch. Or, David has a bad day, and Patrick makes it better—but not quite how David expected.

The Beauty of Ordinary Days [david/patrick, E, 20,404, CW: MCD] by Tailor1971

This fic is inspired by unfolded73’s “To Come Out the Other Side”, a story about Patrick’s death. This is the story of his last day. It was a good one. (Patrick’s death is referenced in the Epilogue but not explicitly described, other than a very brief reference to a recurring nightmare.)

What a Mess [ted/alexis, NR, 2,374] by BiblioPan

What if Ted cancelled his date with Heather and instead Alexis and Ted got drunk and had an intimate night? What if Alexis decided to terminate the pregnancy and David showed her how much he has been and always will be there for her?

A Hand to Hold [david/patrick, T, 3,246] by @chelle-68

He should have stopped it. Maybe. Yeah. Marcia Clark joke aside, he should have stopped it from happening. Right?

All Shook Up [david/patrick, G, 994] by @mostlyinthemorning

After the robbery, David spirals about what might happen next until Patrick makes it better. Coda to S05E02 Love Letters.

Hearts' Awakening [david/patrick, E, 36,057] by @ineveryuniverse-sc

David’s living in New York, and trying to make something of himself without having to rely on his parents. He’s working as an assistant at an art gallery. For the first time in his life, he's willing to work hard to succeed. Patrick Brewer is a well known singer/songwriter – locally at least. He's thriving professionally, but struggling in his personal life. He’s looking high and low for an awakening. Will these boys find what they're looking for?

(Not) Being Left Behind Again [david/patrick, E, 4,141] by @shimmies

He’s never, not once in his life, felt this much nervous excitement, and definitely not with Rachel. Part of him wonders if something about the emotions or adrenaline of the day they met inflated the idea of David in his mind, that having David as more than a fleeting memory would somehow diminish the reality of him. But in his gut, the instincts Patrick's trusted to get him this far, he feels anything but that.-----Or, a sequel to Canadian Roads.

Coming Home [patrick/rachel, T, 9,866] by @brokenchairwrites

David is set to be the bestman at Patrick's wedding, but their history is standing in his way.

Problem [david/patrick, T, 1,005] by @treluna4

Based on the prompt from tumblr user seldom-what-I-seem: “Patrick thinks he has a sexual disfunction- has difficulty getting an erection and maintaining it- he’s tried a few different remedies but nothing has helped… until the day he meets David and everything springs into action 😉” That’s it. That’s the fic.

the hardest part [david/patrick, M, 4,095] by @wild-aloof-rebel

Even the best players go through slumps. Patrick is no exception.

Well, You Are The One, The One That Lies Close To Me [david/patrick, E, 1,285] by @fictasticvoyage

101 [david/patrick, E, 8,883] by @spiders-hth-is-an-outlier

Still, it's true that Patrick can have his shy side. He likes to be a gentleman – Mr. Order Whatever You Want I'm Paying and Mr. Here Let Me Fix That For You and Mr. No David Not In the Backseat I Want It to Be Special – so David can't entirely rely on Patrick's willingness to charge forward for the greater good.

Patrick sees David differently.

"It sounds ridiculous to think when they’re literally on a spaceship, but David dresses like he’s from the future. It’s the first thing Patrick notices." Or, Patrick wins a ticket onto the first civilian voyage to populate New Earth, and he's determined to face his fears and change his life. The one thing he didn't plan on was David Rose.

Even though David has volunteered to spearhead the wedding planning and should be good at it, he has been utterly paralyzed when it's come to making any decisions. And now he has to spend the weekend with Patrick's parents visiting some tourist trap and he is not okay. Thank you to WhenWhereWhy for the prompt: 'David & Patrick go on a Brewer family vacation, preferably to somewhere that pre-Schitt’s Creek David would deem disgusting but Patrick just wanted to go on vacation with his family so David obliges and he actually has the best time.' This was really fun and thank you for suggesting it. I hope you like it!

Come and Get It [david/patrick, T, 2,100] by upbeat

“So I’m beginning to think that Ray only listens to Prince,” David notes with a quick laugh. He takes the glass of wine from Patrick’s hand and their fingers brush each other’s lightly. “Do you have something against Prince?” Patrick asks, amused. ... David and Patrick meet the day before David is supposed to file his incorporation papers. Business and pleasure ensue. A quick little alternate first meeting loosely inspired by a particular scene in Season 2 of CW's Backpackers (starring Noah Reid). Edit: Now with a superb Part 2, Got it! by the amazing Poutini

love that for me [ted/alexis, T, 1,867] by orphan_account

None of her friends compare to David or Twyla, but she’s happy spending time with them, anyway, and a little glad that she can still honestly say that she hasn’t changed as much as her family might have thought she would when she first announced the move. New York feels like home and she has amazing friends and family. For right now, that’s more than enough.

Sleepover [david/patrick, E, 2,318] by @streetlampsunset

David ends up sleeping over at Patrick's after all.

Stay In My Corner [david/patrick, T, 24,416] by @maxbegone

Patrick’s not just a guy who materialized out of nowhere. He has a history. He has family and friends here in this town where he was raised, and there is so much more for David to learn about this man that he loves to the ends of the earth. -- David and Patrick venture to Patrick's hometown shortly after their engagement, where David learns so much more about the people and the places that shaped the man he's going to marry.

You Have My Heart So Don’t Hurt Me [david/patrick, G, 6,861] by Point_of_no_return

"Okay," Patrick said as he took a sip of coffee. "This is not working anymore. I think it's time we look for an apartment." Blinking, taking in that last phrase, David sat stunned. "Oh. Okay, I mean if that's what you want-" "Well I think it's more of a need at this point, David. Been thinking about it for a while." "Oh..."Oh. Patrick and David were abruptly disturbed that morning from Patrick's roommate, Ray Butani, who walked in on them while in bed. Patrick blurted out his intentions to look for someplace with more privacy. In this canon-divergent fix-it, some real communication takes place between our beloved characters. Plus other milestones. There's just a lot of sweet, fluffy goodness.

2021

It's Time [david/patrick, E, 21,842] by @lisamc-21

David and Patrick have been pen pals and best friends for sixteen years, but haven't met yet. A series of missed connections, crises and excuses have kept them apart. Until now. David decides not seeing Patrick and admitting his feelings is a bigger risk than living his life in friendship limbo. So, he decides to surprise Patrick by flying in for his MBA graduation. This fic is written in dual POV. The entire fic is rated T (for cussing) except for the very last scene (rated E). So I set the work to E rating, but if you're not interested in reading explicit fic, you'd get a full story if you read through the first half of the last chapter.

The first time David Rose met Patrick Brewer was on the playground when he was in first grade. This is the story of their friendship through the years, and of the many (many) mistakes that eventually lead to their happiness.

Resplendent In The Morning Light [david/patrick, M, 1,275] by @a-noble-dragon

David wakes slowly. He blinks his heavy eyelids then reluctantly peels them open, only to be instantly wide awake when confronted with the picture perfect image of his husband stood in front of the bedroom window. Patrick's back is towards him and his face is in profile, illuminated by the early morning sun.

A Little Bit Go Girl [alexis/twyla, E, 4,799] by @uhoh-but-yeah-alright

She can feel tonight still. She can feel the way Twyla’s kisses hadn’t just been for fun. There had been intention behind them. Need. Alexis smiles and shifts in bed, squeezing her eyes shut and willing herself to sink into the mattress, as though this stupid motel bed has absolutely any give at all. She flutters her eyelids before closing them firmly again, focusing on how tonight, with Twyla, it hadn’t just been Twyla’s lips pressed into hers that she’d felt, or the light touch of Twyla’s fingers dancing softly but purposefully over her skin. It was light touches that somehow ignited sparks in her skin that rippled outward. It was kisses she felt in her throat and her lungs. Kisses she felt in her core. Kisses she could still feel now. When Alexis can't sleep after Twyla leaves her motel room, she spends some time trying to process what happened and what it means. And David comes home the next morning wanting details. Alexis POV Ladies Night Inn timestamp.

He looks up to catch David watching him, a soft smile on his face, golden-cast in the warm light that’s suddenly filling the office, dust motes wheeling a scintillating symphony around him, and Patrick can’t help but let slip a kind of hushed, reverent, what are you? In the space of a second, the room is back to normal. Almost as if he’d dreamed it. David cocks his head, puzzled, evidently considering the question. “Hungry,” he decides. AU. One fateful night, Patrick meets a boy who’s literally out of this world. Unfortunately, winning David Rose’s heart involves entirely too much paperwork – but the pen is mightier than the sword, and by god does Patrick know how to use it.

He tells himself Mabel’s curls are probably just too heavy for her hair elastic and maybe her parents aren’t married yet. The craziness and expense of having a kid in their mid twenties stopping them tying the knot. ORDavid can imagine himself falling for Patrick pretty quickly, however he never imagines he'd love Patrick's kid as much as he does.

Rattlesnake Point [patrick & alexis, G, 1,927] by @steetlampsunset

Five hikes Patrick took with Alexis, plus one he took with David. So I used to come on this hike a lot, when I first moved here, and I was uh, I was developing feelings for this guy I had just gotten into business with. And I didn't know what to do about it because I didn't know if that guy had the same feelings. Or if I'd ever be able to muster up the courage to let him know how I felt. And now, here he is. The love of my life, standing in front of me. And this just felt like the perfect place to ask you to marry me.

Incorrect [david/patrick, E, 98,765] by @lisamc-21

Both fresh off of break-ups with their respective boyfriends, David and Patrick fly solo on what were supposed to be couples vacations to the Maldives. When a paddle boarding incident and an aggressive telescope lead to a meet-cute/meet-ugly, David and Patrick decide to spend some of their vacation time together. The thing is, Patrick is a professional baseball player and David is an interior designer to the stars with his own HGTV show, but neither know who the other is. Both are thrilled to finally have met a regular guy, so they each hide their celebrity.

“No, yeah, right,” David said. “My sister’s been kidnapped.” “That escalated fast,” Jake commented.

Just Another Superhero AU [david/patrick, T, 14,314] by Shreiking_Beauty

“Um, EW?! Listen to this! ‘New York’s hottest power couple’ – and later it says . . . ‘hashtag relationship goals’! They think we’re, like, together!”“Ew, David!” Alexis came over to look at it with a disgusted expression.“Well, you have to remedy this!” Moira said, shaking her head incredulously and looking scandalized. “What am I supposed to do about it?” David asked.“Next time you’re out putting out fires, track down one of these reporters and set them right,” Moira suggested, already becoming disinterested and turning to the magazine she was reading.----David and Alexis are twins born with superpowers. Patrick is a breaking news reporter who has a big gay crush on the hero.

Pretty much what it says on the tin, folks. Rachel and Patrick and David and Stevie's relationships with each other, through the lens of some classic Canadian and American children's lit. (Written by a Jo who definitely grew up thinking she was an Anne.)

Take the Long Way Home [david/patrick, NR, 4,089] by @midnightstreet

Meeting Rachel's new boyfriend gets...complicated. Also, David doesn't trust cows.

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore? [david/patrick, M, 3,425] by @demora00

David wallows and waffles about with his emotions, but comes around eventually. Or, emotional growth is not a painless process.

Five times Patrick could have come out to his parents and 1 time he did

Hot. [david/patrick, T, 6,597] by @sweatersinthesummer

David walked outside again, this time mentally prepared for the heat. Fortunately, Stevie pulled up in her rental car within seconds, and David was settled in the air conditioned car before he could burst into flames. “You okay?” Stevie looked at David with uncharacteristic concern. She was wearing a tank top and shorts - no flannel in sight, which was unusual for her. David pulled gently at the hem of his sweater, raising it up to allow the vents to blow under his shirt. He shuddered as the cold air blasted his damp undershirt. “Better now. Why didn’t you tell me how fucking hot this place is?” David demanded. “Oh, I’m sorry,” Stevie replied, sarcastically, “I didn’t tell you that New Orleans was going to be hot in July.”

Ten drabbles: each a moment in David & Patrick's married life.

where's the bathroom? [david/patrick, T, 1,737] by @stereopticons

Patrick was actually looking forward to sleeping at the motel room with David, until he realized that meant sharing a bathroom with both David and Alexis and their respective morning routines.

Flower Friday

Thank you, @a-noble-dragon and @jamilas-pen, for tagging me.

I have not been in my usual routines this week, so I don't have neighborhood walk flowers.

But here are some blanket flowers from my father's garden:

And a river:

I really wanted a close-up photo of these poppies, but I didn't want to fall in, so you had to miss out.

Looking in another direction, some sailboats and trees:

Does anyone have some flower photos to share? Or other nature-type things?

No pressure tagging @mostlyinthemorning @stargazer56 @ramonaflow @tyfinn @flowertrigger

@jettestar @leofdaeg-sand @statueinthestone @aoubooming @smallumbrella369 and anyone else who wants to jump in.
