Sky
Inspired by the Schitt's Creek Monthly Drabble Challenge and fortified by the enthusiastic cheerleading and encouragement of @a-noble-dragon and @flowertrigger, I wrote a drabble. Ironically, my first foray into writing takes place during the night at Stevie's, but not the sexy part. The part where Jake shows up and sends Patrick spiraling.
This will eventually be on AO3, after @a-noble-dragon hand holds me through the process of posting it there.
David’s hands stroke the shoulders of Patrick’s sky-blue sweater, but Patrick can’t stop staring at the man who kissed David. Mr. Henley – he’s definitely not getting a name – dated Stevie and David simultaneously? David dated lumberjacks, celebrities, models and Patrick proposed to Rachel despite never feeling right. How can he tell David about her, about the weight of inertia and expectations? Is there a scenario where that conversation doesn’t derail their evening? Patrick is done with going slow. He desperately needs David and a full night of guaranteed privacy. He has to avoid the topic of exes at all costs.

We love a good surprise, like finding money in our pockets or a special sale on eye of newt. But even more than that, we love a plot twist or a fic moment that makes our jaw drop.
Check out these didn't-see-that-coming moments and leave the authors some love!
-----------------
Body Count ( @weathereyehorizon) "I don't really even know how to talk about this one without giving the good stuff away. It's just so fun and clever and funny. It's a mistaken identity matchmaking dream."
The heat between me and you ( @likerealpeopledo-on-ao3) "The tags look misleading if you read them too fast on this one, but the dove is not so dead, nor so dove. It's actually very fun and pretty spicy!"
Let me paint you a picture (houdini74/ @mostlyinthemorning) "The whole premise of this fic is fantastic, but I was very much surprised by the not your typical roles that David and Patrick played. It's all so good!"
Quick and dirty ( @smallumbrella369) "A totally believable version of what happens when David and Patrick decide to stay at Jake's whiskey night."
Rescued by the farmer ( @dinnfameron) "I would pay actual real money to have scene this go down on the show. It's David and Patrick, but with more Harlequin vibes."
Schittier than fiction ( @delilah-mcmuffin) "This is a gem. The premise is great and it's a little bit wacky, but that's what makes the whole thing so perfect."
Start Spreading the News (PandorasDaydream) "The angst was HUGE! Probably the saddest fic I’ve read and certainly the one I cried the most at. HOWEVER, they do get their happily ever after, and it was beautiful so it made the angst worth it. I was surprised at the premise- David and Patrick divorce! But ultimately so satisfying when they reunited after time apart. Such a well written story and for those who love angst fics, this is one of the best there is!"
There it is on the tip of my tongue ( @designatedgrape) "But what about an AU where David is still running RA, but Patrick has a coffee shop across the street? And it's really hot."

Just thinking about this idiot and his “going to invest in a whole entire business so the cute boy will notice me” flirting strategy. Which totally worked out, so I guess you can’t argue with results.
