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.

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).

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!"

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. 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.

A Ray of Light by Turkey_Virgin (@tyfinn)

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.

the wedding planners by @lilythesilly
[Stevie/Ruth, Gen (David, Mrs. Clancy) - G - 1,304]
David: I can’t believe you and Ruth eloped
Stevie: Are you actually mad that we eloped or that we didn’t tell you about it
David: Honestly I’m running on so much adrenaline it feels like kind of both
David: like equally
Stevie: If it helps Ruth’s mom is yelling at her right now, because she didn’t tell her family either
David: ...
David: Actually yes, that does help thank you
-
Or, David and Ruth's mom plan Stevie and Ruth's wedding part 2.

[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…

time—curious, mystical, wondrous time by doingthemost (@sarahlevys)[Alexis/Twyla - T - 5,943]
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.
