Schitt's Creek Valentines 2 of 3.

[stargazer56]

Something Blue, day 7

It's the last day! I want to thank @a-noble-dragon for creating this event. I was in a bit of a reading rut and this helped me get out of it. Searching for fics using the challenge categories was lots of fun!

Here is everything I kudosed and commented on today, in no particular order.

Once More With Feeling by @jettestar Very fun musical Buffy/Schitt's Creek crossover

[Fan Art] Open Mic Night Sweater by @mammameesh

Declaration at the Farmers Market by Stargatewars Patrick tells David he's ready to take a new step in their relationship and then they make it happen

Everybody Decent? by kt_rose28 Alternate version of the The Plant where David and Patrick talk about getting their own place. Fluffier than canon

"Hey Patrick, who's Rachel?" by @like-its-all-infinite Patrick and David unlock their boxes before the Barbecue. David supports Patrick when Rachel comes to town.

don't need no butterflies (when you give me the whole damn zoo) by enablelove (Chapter 1 is David/Patrick) Wedding morning fluff after our boys spend the night apart

Bébé Yoda?! by glockgal Amazing Schitt's Creek/The Mandalorian art.

A Little Bit Torchwood by aliciajazmin Alexis travels to Cardiff and joins Torchwood. Her signature song makes a funny appearance.

Anyone else have any recs they would like to share?

[scrarefest]

It’s time for author reveals! We had so much fun this week, and we’re so grateful you joined us for another year of Rare Fest.

If you did enjoy these works, please don’t forget to show these authors some love by hitting that Kudos button and/or leaving some love with a comment. Don’t know what to say? Trust us — a simple “loved this!” or even a string of emojis goes a long way to make fanwork creators feel appreciated.

Without further adieu, let’s rip the blindfold off these amazing works!

Day 1

A Notebook Full of Wigs by jarofspiders

[David & Moira, Not Rated, 5,344]

One night, five year old David discovers that Moira names her wigs. This sparks an obsession that lasts over a decade, acting as a niche source of comfort in David’s increasingly tumultuous life.

***

Finding Her Own Way by StatueintheStone

[Ronnie/Karen, Explicit, 4,812]

When Ronnie turned 24 she headed east away from Regina, putting her past behind her. Hoping to find somewhere she belonged, to find a place where she fit in. A place where she could live the way she wanted, do as she wanted, and be content. She wasn’t interested in anything beyond a hookup, a flirtation, something with no attachments.

Until Karen.

Kitchen-wear by bl_anche73

[Ronnie & Patrick, Teen, 4,077]

Patrick hires Ronnie to remodel the kitchen at the cottage.

[podfic] coming home to you by hullomoon

[Stevie & David, Stevie & Patrick, Teen, 11:49]

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, whenever she needs it.

It’s not a guest room. David and Patrick were very clear on that. The third bedroom is the guest room. But this, this is her room.

There’s Rose Apothecary products in the bathroom, even though she’d still use the drugstore brand if left to her own devices. There’s the old, battered quilt on the foot of the bed that David said didn’t go with the decor, but left it there for her anyway because he knew how much she loved it. There’s even a Sarah McLachan poster on the wall.

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, and that’s why she’s definitely not crying on this airplane.

***

Day 2

Perfectly Fine by Meesh

[Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 22,385]

Mutt comes back to Schitt’s Creek for the birth of his brother, Roland Jr. There he meets a handsome stranger who connects with him over hard wood.

***

Blue Kamikazes for the Win by Turkey_Virgin

[Patrick & Rachel, Teen, 1,678]

The Toronto Blue Jays have made the playoffs, and there is only one person Patrick wants to celebrate with, and that person is Rachel. Can that fractured friendship be repaired?

***

Clean or Sloppy? by coffee_and_glitter

[David & Jocelyn, General, 578]

David has to make an uncomfortable confession to Jocelyn.

***

Daddy Issues by goodiecornbread

[David/Clint, Explicit, 1,564]

David calls his father-in-law a Silver Fox, and Clint shows his appreciation.

***

Day 3

Heaven help me, she’s walkin’ away by lizzie_bennetdarcy 

[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 7,247]

“Why would I need two rooms?” Does Ruth usually get herself two rooms? Is that something she should be doing, for thoroughness or something?

“Because there are two of us?”

Wait. What?

Stevie has one more motel to hit before she can take a vacation, and this time Ruth is tagging along. The problem is, Stevie has fallen into old habits and booked the honeymoon suite.

***

Proud Mary by AuthorByNight

[Ronnie-centric, Teen, 4,747]

It’s 1997, and Veronica “Ronnie” Lee is in a small town for business. What she doesn’t expect is to stay - or for a fourteen-year-old rich kid to help steer her in the right direction.

***

i’ll stick by your side, if you’ll be right by mine by apothecarose

[Patrick & Twyla, General, 4,130]

(I Can’t Keep) Quiet (Any Longer) by DoctorMiguel-animal-lover 

[Jake/Mutt, Mature, 1,220]

Jake’s just innocently dropping off Mutt’s new table, when he hears something he probably isn’t meant to overhear and he can’t help but listen in..

Jake lifts the table down from the truck with a grunt. There’s no sign of Mutt waiting for him, but the barn door is open wide so he’s obviously expected.

He carries the table over to the barn, halting just outside, ready to call out Mutt’s name, when..

“Jake.”

..His name is a near breathless sigh, followed by a whimper.

***

Day 4

catch you when you fall by rosedavid

[Alexis/Twyla and Alexis & David, Teen, 9,718]

Alexis makes a surprise visit to Schitt’s Creek to spend some quality time with her girlfriend. But David is under the weather, and with Patrick out of town, Alexis tries her best to take care of him.

***

Hey, Brewer by iola17

[Patrick, Ronnie, Teen, 6,393]

A week before, Patrick would have said Ronnie asking for his help was impossible but when she comes into the store to do just that he tries his hardest, despite his confusion and questions. Even after she leaves, their interaction preys on his mind. Over the next few weeks something starts to shift between them but Patrick can’t help but be curious as to what started it all off and what Ronnie’s thinking.

***

here kitty, kitty by hullomoon

[Ted/Patrick, Teen, 1,352]

Patrick didn’t expect to find a cat or meet a hot vet

***

oh, i kinda of think i wanna make it last forever by doingthemost

[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 2,206]

Ruth can scream. She can wail. She can effortlessly hit the kind of notes that Axl Rose has to warm up for, jumping from pitch to pitch with the kind of abandon that seems like precision. And she knows how to dial it back, following Patrick’s lead with an obvious ease that startles Stevie. When their voices meld together, Ruth matching him beat for beat, note by note, Stevie can’t help herself.

She catches Mutt’s eye, tilting her head towards the vocalists, and bites back a grin when the two of them join in.

And the funny thing is: this shouldn’t be so effortlessly easy. The four of them have never played together before.

Voting her into the band, though, is the easiest decision that Stevie’s ever made.

–

OR: Stevie hates when people tell her to smile. After Ruth joins her band, though, she can’t stop smiling.

***

[Fanart] There’s a Dead Guy in Room 4 by mallpretzles

[Stevie & Roland, General, 0]

The coroner said he’d be discreet with the body removal…so why did 6 people show up to assist? And, why were they all wearing hazmat suits?

***

Day 5

Taking Care of David by iola17

[Alexis & David, Teen, 5,590]

With Patrick out of town, the last thing David needs is to be stuck in bed with the flu. They’ve been planning Patrick’s attendance at the conference for months, there’s no question of him returning to help out. But as chance would have it, Alexis is in town for a couple of weeks and reluctantly, David agrees to let Patrick ask for her help. It isn’t like she’s going to say ‘yes’ anyway…

***

Marcy’s Girls by Turkey_Virgin

[Alexis, Marcy, & Stevie, Teen, 4,464]

Marcy is left alone with Alexis and Stevie after David has to pick Patrick up from a vendor run. Alexis and Stevie both turn to Marcy for relationship advice, and Marcy finds herself to be a substitute mother to the girls.

***

Want S’more by Amanita_Fierce

[Patrick/Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 3536]

Patrick goes camping and gets a crash course in survival woodworking.

***

your secret’s safe with me by stereopticons

[Ruth/Stevie, Mature, 3,125]

Stevie hates surprises. Truly, there’s nothing she hates more. They make her extremely uncomfortable, and always make her cry, whether or not they’re good surprises. She’s terrible at planning them, too. She’s never been particularly good at keeping secrets, which seems to shock most people.

But somehow, despite all of this, Stevie has ended up dating Ruth who not only likes surprises, but also just informed her that she booked a trip to visit Schitt’s Creek for her birthday. So now Stevie has to plan a surprise party for her sophisticated, big city girlfriend in a town that only has one restaurant.

Stevie enlists David’s help to plan a surprise party for Ruth. It goes about as well as one would expect.

***

Best Budds by mallpretzles

Stevie, G, 2,875]

A pre canon telling of Stevie’s relationship with the Motel over the passage of time and the lifelong effect it bestowed upon them.

***

You Miss 100% of the Tapes You Don’t Play by AuthorByNight

[Patrick & Stevie, Teen, 995]

Patrick and Stevie support one another’s endeavors on two separate occasions.

***

a reason to stay by doingthemost

[Alexis/Twyla, G, 606]

It isn’t like she’s never been used, like no one’s ever looked at her and seen someone they could discard. It isn’t like her family, their voices raised through the mansion as they all pack up their lives, cares about her.

She shoves things in suitcases. Stavros will get her out of this; Stavros will bring her home.

Still: when she finds David’s stuffie in her closet, she packs it, too.

–

Alexis has packed and unpacked her life countless times—but until Schitt’s Creek, she never found a place that made her want to stay. 

[mammameesh]

WIP Wednesday. @jesuisici33 I hope you also like cross stitch?

Between 7th and Broadway, sits an art gallery, but it is unlike any other art gallery Patrick has ever known. He comes on a random Wednesday. He's texted David and has an appointment with him later, he's really ridiculously early, but he really wants to see this place 'in the wild' or however 'in the wild' a New York art gallery can be. There are people practicing yoga in the gallery. David is dressed in some kind of very loose pants, and a white and black tee, with a little heart patch on his chest. Despite the somewhat whimsical outfit, David seems to command the space, helping the patrons into the warrior pose with all the bedside manner of a drill sergeant.

DAY 1 REVEALS

Something Brewing

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 13,749]

When David stumbles across Marcy and Clint at the market in Elmdale, he instantly knows their cider would be a huge hit at the store. Wanting him to get a better sense of their business, they invite him along to an evening event at the cidery where he spots the man playing live music on the stage. Cute, good voice, but not what David's here for...

-

What more could he ask?

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - G - 4,246]

David Rose is avoiding him after their first meeting at Ray’s and he doesn’t know why. He hopes planting the new community garden next to his store will give him a second chance to make a better impression.

-

crossed words and open hearts

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy - E - 2,568]

Five times David needs help with a crossword puzzle and one time he doesn't.

Fic Rec Friday

This week’s theme is: rec a fanwork (fic, gifset, fanart, podfic - bonus points if you do multiple mediums) that made you feel warm and fuzzy inside (the ‘feel good’ fanwork). If you tag me @welcometololaland #fic rec friday, i’ll include it in the round up.

Thank you for tagging me @a-noble-dragon and @ramonaflow ! I love seeing everyone's recommendations each week.

A feel good work that I come back to often is Merry Christmas, Patrick Brewer by Treluna (@treluna4 ) with gorgeous artwork by shimmies.shimmers. It's a Merry Christmas, Johnny Rose and Meet The Parents mash up where the Brewers come to Schitt's Creek for Christmas. It's a delight from start to finish.

Friday is almost over, but if you haven't been tagged and want to participate, this tag is for you!

[scrarefest]

AUTHOR REVEALS

Good things come in threes by DoctorMiguel-animal-lover (@seldom-what-i-seem)  [Ted/Miguel/Jake, Ted/Miguel - E - 5,542]

What would it be like being with a man?

Ted lets himself think about it for more than a fleeting second. What would it be like to touch someone like Miguel? What would Jake feel like if he held him with intent, and not just partook in a friendly hug or back slap with a bro?

*

Conference Companions by @rosedavid [Gen (Ray, Ronnie, Patrick) - T - 4,605]

After a tedious morning of driving, Ronnie arrives at the hotel. She steps through the automatic doors into the lobby and heads toward the check-in counter, ready to fully enjoy her long weekend. That’s when she sees them. She slides her sunglasses down her nose to be sure her mind isn’t playing tricks on her.

“Oh fuck no."

. . .

OR

Ronnie's conference plans are promptly derailed when she discovers Ray and Patrick are there, too.

*

We're goin' Somewhere or goin' Nowhere by stargazer60 [Stevie/Emir - T - 3,991]

Stevie Budd gets an invitation and has to decide whether or not to accept it.

*

A Day Up Schitt's Creek by AuthorByNight [Gen (Stevie, Ted, Twyla, Mutt) - T - 3,963]

It’s 2003, and five high school students have to clean the creek on their first day of summer vacation. Will this end in entropy or solidarity?

*

Late Nite Hang by Turkey_Virgin (@tyfinn)  [David & Stevie - T - 2,861]

Stevie realizes just how important David is to her.

*

Lock and Key by doingthemost (@sarahlevys), sonlali (@landofsonlali) [Rachel/Ted - G - 2,649]

Rachel drives to Schitt's Creek to surprise her ex and instead ends up participating in the Singles Week lock-and-key event.

Ted has recently broken up with his girlfriend and is looking to meet someone new.

Will this lock and key be a match?

*

What Once Was Ours is No One's Now by Simplythebex (@simplythebexx) [Patrick & Rachel - G - 12,471]

The story of Patrick and Rachel.

*

three can keep a secret (if one of them is dead) by doingthemost (@sarahlevys), @lilythesilly, @petalwritesx, yellow_bird_on_richland (@turningtimeinthetardis) [Ted/Alexis/Twyla - T - 4,574]

It’s not Alexis’ fault that everything escalated so quickly.

She may be intentional about certain things—the cons she runs, the heists she pulls off—but falling in love had never been part of the plan.

Then again, she isn't the greatest con woman in the world for nothing, even if no one else feels like acknowledging that she is. Maybe the biggest job she ever succeeded at was convincing herself that she was never going to fall in love—and then she went ahead and did it twice.

-

Or falling in love, being a criminal mastermind and faking your death go hand in hand (in hand).

*

You Did Good by Turkey_Virgin (@tyfinn)  [Gen (Ronnie & David)  - G - 3,849]

A closer look at Ronnie's friendship with David

*

This (boy) is on fire by @designatedgrape [Gen (Patrick, Alexis, Moira, Stevie) - T - 3,558]

David’s jaw drops in outrage, and Patrick bites his lip as Alexis squeals, “Ooh, burn, David!”

If looks could kill, Patrick is pretty sure that Alexis would have been incinerated on the spot, and Patrick wouldn’t be far behind. That is, until Mr. Rose chimes in with, “Ouch, you’re on fire, son!”

Alexis and David whip their heads towards him, responding swiftly and simultaneously. “No, Dad.” “Absolutely not.”

--

Or, Patrick's relationship with Alexis and the rest of the Roses, through the evolution of "Burn, David!"

*

Three's Company by @treepyful [Alexis/Twyla, Miguel/Shannon/Ted - T - 3,473]

"I think Ted's freaking out a little because he had a threesome?"

OR

Alexis just wants to enjoy her quiet Sunday morning without being bombarded by texts by three panicking veterinarians. She does not get her wish.

*

[Art: In Business & In Love] by @mallpretzles [Alexis & Patrick - G - N/A]

Alexis flirtatiously bosses Patrick into throwing a massive, last minute event during Singles Week.

*

You Were There All Along by @treluna4 [Stevie/Twyla - M - 19,794]

“I can’t tell you when exactly it started. I don’t remember. It just seemed like one day we were relative strangers and the next day, Twyla Sands was suddenly there. A presence in my life.”

Stevie and Twyla were best friends in high school. They both had unstable home lives and found comfort and solace in each other. After high school they drifted apart when life got in the way, but they always showed up for each other when it mattered.

Years later, Stevie reflects on their friendship and wonders if it’s possible that they could be something more.

*

coming home to you by @stereopticons [Gen (Stevie, David) - T - 2,185]

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, whenever she needs it.

It’s not a guest room. David and Patrick were very clear on that. The third bedroom is the guest room. But this, this is her room.

There’s Rose Apothecary products in the bathroom, even though she’d still use the drugstore brand if left to her own devices.

A Ray of Light by Turkey_Virgin (@tyfinn)  [Gen (Patrick, Ray) - NR - 1,477]

Patrick needs a change, and contacts Ray Butani about a job.

*

sophomore slump (or comeback of the year) by @petalwritesx [Gen (David, Connor) - G - 1,242]

“What can I do for you, Connor?” he asks.

“Right.” Connor clears his throat too. “I was actually hoping I could get your advice on something?”

“Oh, now you want my advice?”

Connor groans. “Are you gonna make me regret this?”

“I mean, probably,” David says, pretending to inspect his nails. “I don’t give very good advice.”

a.k.a., Connor actually needs David's advice this time.

*

His Very Nearness by coffee_and_glitter (@fictasticvoyage) [Gen (David, Twyla) - G - 1,237]

In his early days in Schitt’s Creek, David finds a less than traditional method of caring for his mental health. His friendship with Ted and Twyla gets him through, and he maybe makes a new friend as well.

*

[Podfic] we'll get together then, dad by NC Pods (@n0connections)  [Gen (Alexis, Johnny) - T - 00.08.06]

"Alexis? Honey?" He tries a laugh. "You're making me worry."

"Sorry! Sorry." She laughs, too, and it sounds closer to the Alexis who learned to love him in Schitt's Creek. "I'm just... I don't know how to say this, I guess? But." He hears her take a deep breath before the rest of her words come out in a rush.

"I'm queer, Dad. And I wanted you to know."

When Alexis comes out to Johnny, he does some reflecting about his two children.

*

White Flag by DoctorMiguel-animal-lover (@seldom-what-i-seem)  [Ted/Miguel - M - 8,080]

Ted chokes on his spit causing Miguel to glance up from his spot by the steamy bathroom doorway and nearly fall over in shock, it's a miracle he manages to keep a tight grip on his towel.

Ted's eyes bulge and his mouth gapes, he finds his pulse rocketing and then the heat of a full body blush as it washes over him. What the hell is going on? Why is his business rival half naked in his hotel room? And more importantly.. how the hell is he more ripped than Ted is?

*

left unsaid by @treepyful [Jake/Mutt - T - 5,874]

A day in the barn life, feat. various plants, oppressive summer heat, and Mutt quietly having emotions about literally everything.

*

Softwood by brrose (@brrose-apothecary) [David/Jake - T - 5,263]

David could go to the store, but he’d already told Patrick he won’t be there today. The café is out, too, and so is just taking a walk around town, for the same reasons—he might run into Patrick, or Stevie, or, god forbid, Sebastien. None of his usual options are going to work today, but if he doesn’t do something to get out and distract himself, he’s pretty sure he’s going to lose his fucking mind and end up locking himself in his mother’s closet.

He closes his eyes, focusing on his breathing again, and feeling his skin prickle with nervous energy. He flips through the mental Rolodex of limited distractions available to him without money, reliable means of transportation, or an elaborate disguise… and only one option comes to mind.

After beating Sebastien at his own game, David visits another former lover—but gets more than the simple distraction he was looking for.

i don’t know where i been lately, but now i’m alright by Yellow_Bird_On_Richland (@turningtimeinthetardis)  [Gen (Patrick, Twyla) - T - 2,751]

“Yeah, I’m new,” Patrick clarifies, “but I’ll be staying for a bit.”

“Well, then,” Twyla replies, flashing another winning smile as she grabs his soup bowl and empty beer glass, “welcome to Schitt’s Creek. Glad to have you here.”

“Thanks. Glad to be here.”

It’s not the truth, not by a long shot, but it’s further away from an outright lie than he expects.

[Podfic] The Seven Husbands of Alexis Rose by Amanita_Fierce, doingthemost (@sarahlevys), HowOldAreWe, @hullomoon, @lilythesilly, NC Pods (@n0connections), @roguebebe, schittpodding (@schittposting), @sunlightsymphony, @thesleepyskipper @wi22iou @danieljradcliffe, with art by @rhetoricalk [Alexis/Twyla - T - N/A]

My name is Alexis Rose. But you knew that already, didn't you?

There's no need for shyness. You don't need to pretend that you didn't Google me before you read this article, or that you don't know who I am. I shouldn't misspeak, though: you think you know who I am. You have an idea of who Alexis Rose is.

Maybe you've never seen any of my movies. Maybe you think I'm washed up, someone only your parents care about. Maybe you think I'm irrelevant. Maybe you think I'm a whore.

Oh, don't duck your head. I guarantee you're not the first person to ever let that idea enter your mind, and you won't be the last.

In 2015, Alexis Rose pens a tell-all for Vogue, promising to finally tell the truth about all seven of those infamous husbands and then some…

Alexis leans in, lowering her voice to a whisper. "I already lived today. Like, yesterday was August 20. My mom got back on Sunrise Bay, and I gave you all my clothes, and—"

"Alexis!" Twyla exclaims. "You did what?"

"Okay, I promise I will circle back to that, but." Alexis flattens her hands on the countertop. "Like, am I losing it, or is this something that maybe you've heard of happening before?"

Twyla purses her lips, thinking a little, before she turns her patient gaze back to Alexis. "I don't think that's ever happened to me, but nothing's impossible if you believe that it's true."

Til we're running from it by lonely_ampersand (@smblmn) [Gen (Ted, Rachel), Ted/Alexis - T - 3,492]

It's like she's the cute unsuspecting redhead from a horror movie who goes straight to get killed after doing the opposite of what she was advised to do. Because that's how she feels, like her life ended yesterday, in a way, and suddenly she can't wait to get out of this nightmare of a town.
