This might just be my favorite fic of all time.

“You were there all along” is the friends to lovers slow burn I didn’t know I needed.

Stevie and Twyla are childhood friends, who grow apart, grow back together and fall in love. Their relationship is soft and sweet and everything.

Also just writing it was special. I’d never written first person before, and I’ve never in my life written anything that quickly. Fics usually take months (if not years 😭) for me to write and fully edit.

This was written, edited and ready to post in 3 weeks.

I highly recommend you read it. Not simply because I wrote it, but because I genuinely love it.

On This Day in Schitt's Creek: July 13

2019

Domestic Life [david/patrick, T, 6,288] by @scarlett-ice

David knows he can be a lot, and that’s even after he’s mellowed from living in Schitt’s Creek for so long. He gets anxious, he can’t stand to see things out of his carefully planned place, and he often forgets that if he wants something to be done, he has to at least try to do it himself first, or help out. It’s just…it’s hard. It feels like he’s going against his basic instincts, being a regular person. Maybe it’s genetic. He is his mom’s son after all. But then again, she and Dad have survived together and if they can do it, then surely he can with Patrick. He just has to work at it, prove to Patrick that he’s not making a mistake. And if that means getting his hands dirty…he’ll buy gloves.

I Remember [david & alexis, G, 1,909] by DisgruntledPelican

Alexis really couldn’t believe that her mother didn’t remember the emotional state Sebastien Raine left David in. Even Alexis, who was in and out of the country during David’s mall-pretzel-and-Bridget-Jones-Diary phase, knew that Sebastien had truly hurt David.

i'll thank my lucky stars to have crossed with yours [david/patrick, T, 1,771] by @crazygirleddie

“Would you go to Mars?” he asked.“What?”“Y’know, like Earth gets obliterated by global warming and bad politicians and shit, you get an opportunity to live on Mars with the red dirt, little green dudes and blue sunsets, would you move there?” Or, Patrick feels a little lost in this universe.

It's a write-off... [david/patrick, T, 807] by @startswithhope

There was a lot of talk about Patrick and his thing with neck kisses and I wanted to write my idea of when it could have happened for the first time. This is set the night before "The Rollout". (if there was a neck kiss that happened before this that I've someone forgotten, forgive me)

Onward, Upward, Homeward [david/patrick, M, 14,775] by @samwhambam

Patrick takes David back to his hometown to visit Clint and Marcy and be there for their vow renewals. While there, David is so struck with love for his fiancé that he can't waste another minute not being married to him.

A Ghost Story [david/patrick, M, 3,606, CW: violence] by pennilesspoet

Patrick starts seeing things go bump in the night.

forever can't wait [david/patrick, NR, 906] by orphan_account

A first person contemplation of one Patrick Brewer after he steps on a branch and it goes right through his shoe.

I Spy [david/patrick, T, 2,300] by upbeat

At a regional craft fair scouting out potential new vendors for the store, Patrick grows bored and tries to play a game with David to pass the time.

Perfect little movies that no one ever saw [david/patrick, M, 506] by @kiwiana-writes

It’s very obvious to David that Patrick isn’t used to asking for what he wants in bed. It’s not that he isn’t responsive, he is; it’s just that he isn’t very verbal. David is trying to encourage him asking for things, both so that he can be sure Patrick is fully on board with what they’re doing at this early point, and because hearing his buttoned-up... person he’s dating talk about sex things is a massive turn on.

soft as morning dew [david/patrick, G, 908] by @fishyspots

“What I don’t understand,” David said between bites of his croissant, “is why both of us needed to go on this trip. There are only, what, two boxes of kitchen utensils in this order?” “Oh, I’m sorry, did you want to do more of the lifting?” Patrick asked innocently. “I can wait in the car when we get there, if that’s the case.” David picked up Patrick’s phone, which was plugged into the car’s speakers, and pointedly turned on the music. Or, David and Patrick find time for a vendor pickup before Cabaret.

Tempting Fate [david/patrick, G, 300] by @streetlampsunset

"He sees you. For all that you are." Patrick asked David to trust him and even with all the scars of his past relationships, Patrick made it easy. The exact moment David decided to trust his future husband.

time to take time [david/patrick, G, 1,290] by @fishyspots

“Have you had enough attention yet, or do you still require a gift?” “That is an exceptionally rude thing to say to someone on their birthday,” David replied primly. “And you should know by now that I always require a gift.” “Noted.” Patrick laughed. “Always requires a gift on his birthday. I’ll keep that in mind.” He wanted to be there for David’s next birthday. Maybe he’d even get David two gifts.

2021

A good person [david/patrick, T, 2,475] by @myolivebranch

He's going to do it. He is. He has to. It's just he feels like he needs to talk to someone, and there's literally nobody he can talk to about this. His parents are out of the question; his mother is the root of the whole issue, and he'd rather die than approach his dad to discuss his feelings about whoring himself out to a sleazebag ex to protect his mother's dignity. Ew. Canon-compliant, set during (and a little bit after) 3.10 'Sebastien Raine'. David reaches out to the nicest person he knows.

How Albany Got Her Groove Back [albany/jake, T, 1,634] by anonymous

This fic stars Albany, a junior PR Executive perennially on the verge of being fired, and perpetually mistreated by her friends Klair, Jitney and Canyon. Seemingly only good for her father's Black Card, we look a little deeper, and find there's more to her than meets the eye. For those unaware, Albany was portrayed by Amy Segal who gave us all of the Behind the Episode content, and recently won a Canadian Screen Award for Best wishes, warmest regards: a Schitt's Creek Farewell.

2022

[Podfic] we'll get together then, dad [alexis & johnny, T, podfic] by @n0connections

"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.

coming home to you [david & stevie, T, 2,185] by @stereopticons

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.

date night [david/patrick, G, 826] by @milklovexoxo

Patrick smiles widely across the table at David. It’s their third date, officially.

Everywhere You Go, Always Take the Weather With You [david/patrick, T, 1,000] by @a-noble-dragon

It's humid and David's head aches with it. There’s a thunder storm inside him, as loud as the world outside his window. Or, 10 weather related Drabbles featuring David x Patrick.

His Very Nearness [david & twyla, g, 1,237] by @fictasticvoyage

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.

Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance [david/patrick, E, 5,122] by @mostlyinthemorning

Patrick really doesn’t want to give up his weekend to negotiate a deal with something called Blouse Barn, but things take a different turn when he meets a handsome stranger in the bar.

sophomore slump (or comeback of the year) [david & connor, G, 1,242] by @roseapothecary

“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.

The Conversation [david/patrick, G, 3,671] by Critically_Reviewed

Patrick has his bags packed and is ready to leave the home he shares with his husband, David Rose, after months of being unhappy in their marriage. Before he can leave, however, he feels like he owes himself and his husband one final conversation about where it all went wrong.

the wedding planners [david & mrs. clancy, G, 1,304] by @lilythesilly

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.

You Were There All Along [twyla/mutt, M, 19,793] by @treluna4

“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.

David asks Clint to give a toast at the wedding.

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. Patrick thinks that’s probably only true when the rain stays outside where it belongs.

David and Patrick's relationship is put to the test when Rachel's brother shows up at their store and attacks Patrick, opening up old wounds. David finds a way to get his husband through this.

Post-barbecue, David has some thoughts.

Giving love in a family dose [david/patrick, G, 537] by @kiwiana-writes

There’s a choking, wheezing sort of laugh from David’s area of the store that Patrick does his best to ignore. “Oh, no,” he says quickly. “She’s, ah, actually my sister-in-law.”

Just Desserts [david/patrick, E, 4,812] by @smoulderandbraids

Five times David and Patrick got ice cream one summer and were stupidly in love, brought to you by the current southern Ontario heatwave.

Love Is the Tuesdays [david/patrick, T, 367] by @streetlampsunset

David married a man who sees him for all that he is and loves him for it.

Matches [david/patrick, T, 633] by @maxbegone

Patrick laughs, his hands coming up to find David’s cheeks. “Well I didn’t want to be widowed this early in our marriage either,” he chides, “I thought we’d have at least three or four years before that.” -- A "kiss in the dark" prompt fill for @brighter-than-sunshine on tumblr.

peaceful quiet... [david/patrick, M, 894] by @startswithhope

Patrick keeps the world at bay for David for a little while during a late night thunderstorm...

Should I Walk By Again? [david & alexis, G, 3,271] by @roberttchase

“Guys, this is Patrick. He’s been on the team since Tuesday, since Mark broke his arm. He was great though wasn’t he? That last shot was golden!” Alexis shakes his hand and compliments him, but David’s barely aware of it all, as he stares at the guy- Patrick. As he stares at Patrick. He’s smaller than Ted, but still muscular, his brown hair wavy, like maybe if he grew it out, he’d have curls. His eyes are a warm brown, and when David meets them he has to look away, the intensity too much.

Takeout [david/patrick, G, 707] by @maxbegone

David whips around, eyes wide and his hands braced on the high back chair behind him. “I thought you wouldn’t be home for another hour.” Patrick crosses his arms over his chest, “The traffic was much less than I expected.” He furrows his brows together. “I’m sorry, am I forgetting an important date or something?”

The Backroom [david/patrick, G, 8,337] by @agoodpersonrose fairmanor

“Um…Patrick?” David sing-songs, battling with the tone of his voice. While Patrick knows all too well that David is easily worked up about things, David is still very much not ready to let him feel the full thwack of David Rose’s Displeasure.“Yeah?”“You wouldn’t happen to know anything about this delightful little – wait, how is it shaped like that – this thing, in the backroom, would you?” A chronological audit of Rose Apothecary’s backroom and all its decorations.

David drunkenly forgets to remove his rings before sexy times with Patrick.

2021

Everything I Once Had [david/patrick, E, 27,074] by @im-televisions-moira-rose

Patrick follows David to his room closely and wordlessly, a very guilty shadow, and sits on the end of Alexis’s bed and tells him about Rachel and watches him with those sincere brown eyes that could make David do almost anything. David stands with his back to the bathroom door, arms crossed protectively around his body and feet planted firmly, but he still has this sensation in his stomach like he’s falling, the telltale hypnic jerk he sometimes gets lying in bed at night, but constant—an unrelenting, nauseating swoop deep in his diaphragm. There are two Patricks now—the one whose ass David has eaten and the one who grew up holding Rachel’s hand. After the barbecue, David takes the week to try to understand the people he and Patrick have become thanks to their relationships—old and new.

Form 2242-B: Application for a Magical Protection Certificate [david/patrick, G, 1,974] by @mostlyinthemorning

Customers are complaining about cursed products at Rose Apothecary and Council is about to intervene unless David and Patrick can clean up their act. But who could be responsible for damaging the reputation of their precious store?

Schitt Stirring [stevie & ronnie, T, 2,523] by @wearpersistencewell

You're A Thousand Minds, Within A Flash [david/patrick, M, 38,411] by odofidi

If you had told Patrick, at age 16, that the enigmatic boy in the monochrome outfit, who looked terrified to be standing in front of Mrs. Schitt's fourth period history class was going to change his life, he never would have believed you. He would have been wrong. --- Or; Patrick's life during You Have No Home, You Have No Walls.

This (boy) is on fire [patrick & alexis, T, 3,559] by @designatedgrape

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 can keep a secret (if one of them is dead) [ted/alexis/twyla, T, 4,579] by @sarahlevys @lilythesilly @turningtimeinthetardis

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).

Three's Company [alexis/twyla, T, 3,473] by @treepyful

Wish on your lucky stars ('cause it's all you got) [david/patrick, T, 2,929] by @hippolotamus

Blood is oozing, slow and syrupy, from Patrick’s thigh. David can see some surface level scratches on his face. Honestly he’s a lot more concerned with what isn’t visible. Patrick is on his side against the cobblestone pathway, wincing and attempting to curl forward so he can put pressure on his leg. David’s stomach turns with every wounded noise Patrick makes. He’s heard that mouth moan, hum and spew a litany of filthy words and phrases but always in moments of pleasure. David’s never heard him like this. David’s fully aware how much is at stake if he exposes himself to help, someone could show up for Agent Brewer any moment. Still, the pull is so, so overwhelming. He feels like he’s going to vibrate out of his skin if he has to stay like this much longer. They come together like two magnets any time they happen to be in the same area. It seems inevitable that one day it was going to happen this way. David recalls Patrick’s fall from the cliff, how fucking helpless he felt. It doesn’t have to be that way this time. He sucks in a deep breath, and runs.

Dear Diary [david/patrick, M, 3,129] by @68henley

Every time he wasn’t important enough, every time he was bullied at school, or made fun of, or disappointed, he took out his sketchbook. It helped him cope. For years he didn’t have a word to describe it, but eventually he came to understand that for him, his drawings were his diary. Unfortunately, no one else seemed to understand it.

i'll miss you from this place that i stand [david/patrick, T, 1,356] by @stereopticons

David knows he should be happy. After all, he just married the love of his life. He should be positively leaping for joy, shouting from the rooftop of his beautiful new house—though since they don’t actually own it yet, that might be inadvisable. But instead, he’s barely been able to get out of Patrick’s bed. After the wedding, all the Roses leave Schitt's Creek within a few weeks of one another. David doesn't handle it very well.

So I lounge around in my lingerie [david/patrick, T, 300] by @ramonaflow

So today was Patrick's day, he'd spent it catching up on some chores, done a bit of reading. Pointedly trying not to think about that item of clothing sitting in his drawer.

Luck. Happiness. Love. [david/patrick, M, 8,279] by @legalgal421

“I’d offer you a penny for your thoughts, but I’m pretty sure I get your thoughts for free now that we are married,” David teased, testing the waters to see if Patrick wanted to talk. David had grown quite fond of punctuating sentences with “now that we are married.” Patrick, temporarily taken out of his reverie, looked fondly at his husband, laughed and said, “Yes, my thoughts are free to you now.” He went back to staring at the photo. “So tell me,” David said as he took Patrick’s left hand. They rarely held hands. They kissed, they hugged, they touched all day long. But, hand holding was reserved for these moments. It was a way of offering strength and support to one another in their own private language. Patrick drew on that strength and support from David, took a deep breath and said it. He didn’t realize until David asked that he needed to say it out loud. “I can say with 100% certainty with no exaggeration at all that I was the luckiest person in that room tonight and I think it may go for the entire world. And it is all because of you. Our wedding day is the best day of my life because it was the day you vowed to spend the rest of your life with me.”

I'll Be There for You [david/patrick, T, 870] by @a-noble-dragon

Consciousness makes itself known with a deep aching pain in muscle and bones. Patrick's head immediately starts to whirl, his brain feeling like it’s bouncing around in his head like a misdirected baseball. His mouth is dry and stale, and his tongue feels like someone left an old sock in there to die. He tries to peel his eyelids open but they refuse to obey him, so he lets out a dissatisfied and pain filled grunt to let the morning know he has a problem with it - how dare the sun continue to rise in the sky, how dare the birds have the gaul to welcome the day with their dawn chorus when Patrick feels as dreadful as this.

We’ve never officially had a discussion to decide 13 was our number, but I can’t help thinking back to that first day in Ray’s office where you handed me B13 and changed my entire life. If that doesn’t make it a lucky number, I don’t know what could. I love you for a million reasons, I find a new one (or ten) every single day that I’m with you.

On This Day in Schitt's Creek: June 27

2019

Can I Get a Hallelujah? [david/patrick, M, 2,855] by @rideswraptors

Patrick's thoughts about his burgeoning relationship with David before they stay at Stevie's.

David-Proof [david/patrick, G, 1,205] by Westgate

Patrick keeps a David-proof budget that David doesn't know about. Until he does.

Door Closed [david/patrick, E, 3,132] by @wildxwired

It’s all Patrick’s fault. Mostly Patrick’s fault. About 70/30 Patrick’s fault. A year of having to plan the majority of their physical activity has not been easy, and now that, ironically, Patrick’s got his own place his hormones seem to have regressed to that of a teenager.

I Can't Fight This Feeling Any Longer [david/patrick, NR, 7,710] by deathbysandblk

Sebastien is back in town and Patrick decides to go have a chat with him. Meanwhile, David and Stevie are on a best friend fun adventure night and meet someone interesting!

me and all my friends (we can shake until the bitter end) [david & stevie, G, 2,259] by @thestarsarewinning

“What and why are we drinking?” “Um, I don't know, and today, some snippy teen told me that my life was a mess, so-“ “And I am now a single person.” ** Twyla’s drink making ability has not improved. This does not surprise Stevie. (or, the David, Twyla and Stevie friendship Dan Levy denied us)

nobody gets left behind. [david/patrick, T, 17,502] by @focksii

“Well, it’s a really interesting, mildly depressing story,” David tries to explain. “I, uh. Seem to have-. Left. At least one or two singular cells in New York, with the girl I was seeing just before we lost everything. When we came here, I tried to call her. She was the only person I called, actually. And she never answered the phone to tell me she was-.” He isn’t totally sure what’s most appropriate way to end that sentence. “Pregnant with your baby?” Patrick finishes, with absolutely no judgement in his voice. “Yeah,” David says, voice strained. “That.” OR A little boy with the Rose Family Eyebrows shows up at the motel.

The Debate [david/patrick, G, 453] by KJthePunkAssBookJockey

Patrick just wants to watch the first Democratic Presidential debate for 2020. David's not interested.

2020

A Matter of Perspective [david/patrick, T, 16,499] by @agoodpersonrose

"I told David that he had to be careful with them; they are very literal, and they don’t ask permission like other witches do.” “Witches--” Patrick trails off, frowning to himself. “Yeah, didn’t you know?” “Oh my God, David thought they were Mennonites.” Or, after the Roses leave Schitt's Creek, David and Alexis grow apart due to miscommunication. Three women offer their services to help the Rose siblings grow to understand each other, although their methods are unconventional to say the least. One day later, he wakes up in his sister's body, miles away from home.

All the Time You Need [david/patrick, G, 1,419] by @maxbegone

When Patrick was nine years old, his father and his grandfather taught him how to fish at this very spot; a muddy bed on the edge of a beautiful lake some forty minutes north of his grandfather’s house. -- Written for the prompt: a sad kiss.

as you wish [david/patrick, E, 42,065] by @sparklesmagiclightlove

“Remember the night of your mom’s movie premiere? We had sex while I was high on the—” “Magical wish-granting pain-killers.”“Right, and I know we were joking, but we— we talked about you putting a baby in me—”AKA the AU no one asked for where David and Patrick accidentally make a baby.

D’amour ou d’amitié [david/patrick, G, 276] by Lilibel

Je ne sais pas où je suis quelque part dans sa vieSi je compte aujourd'hui plus qu'une autre pour luiIl est si près de moi pourtant je ne sais pasComment l'aimerLui seul peut décider qu'on se parle d'amourOu d'amitié- Céline Dion « D’amour ou d’amitié »

Gift Giving [david/patrick, E, 4,002] by @streetlampsunset

David tells Patrick he loves him, but the things David gives him mean so much more. Patrick gives David a gift and it’s not nothing. Five things David gives Patrick and one gift Patrick gives David. Can be read as a oneshot.

if it was mine, I wouldn't've put it in my mouth [ronnie/reader, E, 3,571] by @whetherwoman

When Ronnie has you meet her at the cafe, it always puts you a little on edge. Which is, of course, the point.

Maison Valentino [david & alexis, G, 2,552] by bigficenergy

A surprise visit from Alexis gets David thinking more deeply about the fluidity of his wardrobe and identity.

Shake and shiver just to feel you breathe [david/patrick, E, 4,704] by @kiwiana-writes

They agreed, during one of their many discussions on the topic, that they won’t get anywhere near edgeplay unless David asks for what he wants specifically. David had shrugged off this requirement, saying he was happy to just roll with it in the moment, but Patrick had fixed him with the look he gets sometimes when David’s describing something from his past Patrick finds profoundly upsetting and reiterated that if David didn’t ask for it, it wasn’t going to happen. So David takes a deep breath, and he asks for what he wants.

Something Really Stupid [david/patrick, M, 13,000] by @agoodpersonrose

David meets Patrick for the first time the very same day his ex, Sebastien Raine is in town to photograph Moira.

Sunday Kind of Love [david/patrick, T, 4,183] by @simplymarleycat

It's a soft summer Sunday for the boys with a little surprise at the end.

The Color of My Life [david/patrick, NR, 27,366] by A_Pirates_Love_For_Me

.1% of the population is lucky enough to be born without being able to see color. It means that they have a soulmate out there for them to find, a person who will make their lives burst with color. There's only two problems: 1. Patrick doesn't believe in soulmates 2. David doesn't let anyone know that he's colorblind

2021

_Rosegold_ [david/patrick, T, 20,680] by ohhelloyou

Patrick Brewer is too nervous to talk to the new girl at school (Rachel), so he gets her AIM screen name (_Rosegold_) from a friend. He starts messaging her on AIM and finds himself practically glued to his keyboard, addicted to the teasing, flirtatious banter they've established. The only problem is that _Rosegold_ is not Rachel's screen name. It's David's. Or, an AOL Instant Messenger, high school AU riddled with popular songs from 2002.

All the Glory [david/patrick, M, 3,635] by @lisamc-21

David is thriving professionally and goes on vacation to NYC with Stevie. They decide to check out the Museum of Sex, where David encounters a cute tourist in mid-range denim.

Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires [david/patrick, M, 55,138] by fairmanor

"There were people there that made me feel like I had never seen another human before. They made me feel like I had never lived. I had seen alcohol, but never crystalline fountains of sun and bubbles that slosh through your very veins and heart, cresting like a halo through my better judgement, a single glass more expensive than my Yale tuition. I had seen girls, but never these wandering, opal beauties that came and went like moths, fluttering and twinkling with an arresting confidence that made me believe every word they said. I had seen men, but never…never David Rose." A Great Gatsby AU.

Can You Marry Me? (For Financial Aid) [david/patrick, G, 4,844] by Reese_Taylor27

The fake dating/real feelings college au no one asked for.Based on that text exchange between two friends in college wanting a better FAFSA Application.

Jury Duty [david/patrick, E, 13,257] by @beaiola

“Session finished hours ago, you should have gone home already." David Rose hasn't been able to stop thinking about the defence attorney in the trial in which he's serving on the jury. He returns after hours to see if he can't break this stalemate. - After Moira mentioned the possibility of staging Chicago on the closing night of Cabaret, David can't stop thinking about Patrick-the-lawyer in a three-piece suit. They decide to spend a little time exploring the idea.

London, Love and All It Entails [david/patrick, E, 30,630] by @londonspirit

David and Patrick love each other.This is the story of how they met, fell in love, lost each other (for a little while), found each other again and navigated their lives throughout the years.(Just read, it's worth it, I promise. I'm also terrible at summaries so there's that.)

Of Schlegels and Bennets and Dashwoods and more [david & alexis, G, 1,810] by @missewoodhouse

Apparently I'm turning this into a series now. More Literary Musings - this time on David and Alexis.Through the lens of sibling relationships in some of my favorite Brit Lit. Alternating POVs

Where Words Fail [david/patrick G, 2,275] by @mostlyinthemorning

Clint and Marcy are caught off guard after watching a video of Open Mic Night on YouTube.

2022

Art [david/patrick, T, 1,924] by @treluna4

It was a glorious morning. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and Patrick Brewer was once again stuck behind the front desk at Rose Apothecary with a massive hard-on. If only there was a way to make it go away. If only there was something so completely ridiculous, something so totally unappealing, that it could make Patrick stop thinking about his sexy business partner so he could finish setting up the store before their grand opening.

2023

800 Dollar Pants [david & stevie, G, 110] by @gingerann

What you write on your skin shows up on your soulmate's skin. David is having problems. Patrick is less than sympathetic.

For me, this movie was was part witch-y awakening, part queer awakening, and my introduction to the wonders that are Sandra bullock and Nichole Kidman. I first saw this movie WAY too young and it still remains one of my favorites.

Oh! And fun fact- I used to live very near the town where this was filmed.

Practical Magic (1998) dir. Griffin Dunne

[treluna4]

Yo.

I’ve been actively trying to lose weight all year. I was training for a 10k and hurt my hip a few months ago, so I finally decided to give swimming a shot.

When I tell you swimming has done more for my body in two weeks than anything else has done all year!!

It's honestly such a shame that we've made such a huge thing out of swimming and swimsuits and looking good in swimsuits and fat people not looking good in swimsuits. Swimming is actually the perfect exercise for fat people because it puts zero pressure on the joints, which is a much bigger concern for us than it is for skinny people, and lets you exercise basically every muscle group without straining too much and risking injury. Yet somehow this is one of the least accessible exercises to fat people due to nothing more than a culture of body shaming. The work to unlearn all the shame to be comfortable in a bathing suit in front of strangers is huge even for conventionally attractive people, but I could probably count on one hand the number of fat people I've met who were confident enough to get in a bathing suit and go swimming in public.

And what is the exercise that somehow everyone thinks they should do instead? Jogging. It's more accessible, sure, it's easy and costs nothing to go outside and run. But I need you to understand telling a fat person to go running is basically telling them to go destroy their knees. Not to mention it's probably one of the most physically uncomfortable exercises to do when you have a body that jiggles even with compression garments.

Imagine a world where everyone had the ability and equal access to whatever exercise fit them best and helped them be happy and healthiest. Imagine a world where fat people go swimming.

[treluna4]

Oh thank you for the shout out!

This is one of my favorites. This fic turned into the Inconvenient Boners series, which I didn’t expect but was a delightful surprise (not unlike a boner, depending on the circumstances).

Patrick Brewer will forever and always be that character I most love to fuck with, and this fic was no exception.

I should go read this series again.

[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.)

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

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.

WIP Wednesday:

A TRIPLET FIC SNIPPET.

Oh it’s fluffy. This is gonna be so very fluffy. Happy boys and their happy dog on a happy trip to the farmer’s market.

——

Henry feels that peculiar kind of happiness he still isn’t quite used to. Like his feet are barely touching the ground. The sun is warm, the grass smells sweet, and beside him, his husband is in Full Planning Mode. Going over his lists, thinking through potential future problems. Henry doesn’t say much, honesty. He doesn’t really need to in times like this. His husband needs to process and Henry loves watching the way Alex’s brain works.

“We should get a housekeeper, full time,” Alex is saying now, “the cleaning service we use now is great, don’t get me wrong, but we’re going to need WAY more than a weekly deep clean once the babies arrive. The bottles and diapers alone are going to be a full time job.”

Henry hums, “and full time help would ensure we both spent more time with the babies than the housework.”

“Exactly. Oh! Bonus points if they can cook.”

“What about-“

“I still want to do Sunday brunch,” Alex says at once. It’s the highlight of their week, “but it would be nice if we had real food the rest of the week, not just take out.”

The farmer’s market is just opening by the time they get there, but the usual steady stream of shoppers have already started to arrive. Alex and Henry peruse the familiar stalls, chatting with each vendor and picking up their usual items. Henry’s hands are in his pockets and Alex’s hand holds Freddie’s leash.

As they wander through the stalls, Alex grabs a jar of Henry’s favorite honey and Henry picks out a bouquet of fresh flowers.

“For you,” he says, delighting in the way Alex’s face goes all gooey.

“You’re so romantic sometimes it’s borderline disgusting,” Alex says fondly, “you know that, right?”

“I’m aware.” Henry kisses the top of Alex’s head and trades the bouquet for Freddie’s leash.

They continue on their way, stopping every few feet to greet someone they know. They see Betty and Rick, of course, as well as many of their other friends and neighbors. It’s a small community, but one they’re both grateful to be a part of. They still get the occasional blatant stare, or the odd tourist holding their phone up for what they clearly believe to be a stealthy photo op, but for the most part Henry and Alex blend in with the crowd. They’re just two husbands and their dog, buying flowers and honey and the occasional leather bound journal.

It’s so good, their life together. It’s damn near perfect. As excited as Henry is for the arrival of his sons, he’s so happy he has a few more days like this: the two of them out together, holding hands in the sunshine.
