When I found out this week's theme was hurt/comfort, one fic immediately came to mind.

In @likerealpeopledo-on-ao3's Fyre Festival-inspired fic, Rose from the Ashes, David and Patrick find themselves stranded on a literal deserted island (complete with - gasp! - Only One Cave), and they must work together to stay alive.

First of all, Peeps's work always makes me laugh to the point of tears while simultaneously muttering to myself, "fuck, that's a good joke. I wish I'd thought of it!" But also, the way David and Patrick share the burden of caring for each other through their fight for survival is handled so beautifully in this one. The stakes felt realistically high but never so high as to make the story anything less than a joy to read.

Honestly? The list of things Patrick says while doped up on the good pain meds is worth the price of admission alone.

Check it out for yourself!

for June 27

Schitt's Creek Fics You Should Read!

(or reread!) Right here! Here they are!

The prompt: I asked for fun, fluffy, light-hearted fics for this week.

The results: Exactly what I was hoping for! These are seriously sweet mood-boosters.

Hard Opening by The_Same_But_Different — @different-but-the-same

i love you like never before by @5ambreakdown

A Mice Day by @doublel27

Polished and pure and possessed by yourbuttervoicedbeau — @kiwiana-writes

a solid five minutes by hudders-and-hiddles — @wild-aloof-rebel

sometimes the night was beautiful by @blackandwhiteandrose

I suspect that if you read one of these a day, you will find the strength to make it through the week.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

We're going to do this again next Friday, so stay tuned. We might even scare up a cute little banner.

(If I somehow missed a rec, will you please let me know so I can add it? I checked the fic rec friday tag, but you know how it is.)

Patrick Brewer and his dejected face [15/??]

[dinnfameron]

Every time one of my niblings comes running up to me sobbing, and I wrap my arms around them and say, "oh, honey, what's wrong?" and I wait for them to tell me through their hot tears and big, gasping breaths, and then I say to them, "I'm so sorry that happened to you. That must have been really hard/scary/painful," and I give them a nice cuddle, I think that I heal myself a little bit.

Because when I was a kid, the adult response when I cried, no matter the situation, was always "quit crying." Like I could control it. It was always, "shh, you're okay." Like I was choosing to inconvenience them and could just switch it off if I wanted.

I never learned how to stop crying, but I DID learn to never ever ever admit that I have feelings to anyone. I did learn that other people will reject me for having feelings. I did learn that asking for comfort makes me a burden, and so I did learn to stop asking for comfort. And eventually, I even unlearned how to accept comfort when it was freely offered.

So yeah. I never say "stop crying" to my nibs. I never say, "shh, you're okay."

Instead, I say, "I'm sorry you're hurting. What happened to you was hard, and I understand why you're crying about it. I'm here with you. I love you." And you know what? It feels good to say.

Last Line

Big ups to @smallumbrella369 for tagging me (some other folks may have also tagged me, but I can't remember, because I haven't been tumblring much lately) I'd barely written in a year and have been having big feelings about it. Thanks for the push to open an old WIP - I got some edits done today! I have no idea which was my last written line because I usually write out of order, but here's something:

“B-13,” Ray said, gesturing to the man beside him, and the TiMERs on Patrick’s wrist and on David’s struck zero.

I don't know who's already done this and who's even around or writing anymore, but please do this if you feel so called. Even if it just gets you to open a doc and look at what you've written previously, that's a win!
