An illustration for chapter 6 of my fic House

[likerealpeopledo-on-ao3]

Oh goodness, 84 + David x Patrick, pleeeeease.

Unbeta’d and written while watching Taskmaster.

The prompt is: the key was under the mat.

++

The rain pounds against David and, most notably, against the phone he’d just accidentally flung into a puddle, his umbrella reduced to a metal stick with the inside-out nylon acting as a flag of surrender.

But Alexis’s brownstone is around the corner—allegedly, because she is the worst with directions—and if he can make it one more New York block, he can make it anywhere. Or whatever that cliche is.

Finally arriving at her steps, he’s forced to root around under the soggy mat which reads: Where Everybody Counts, over a drawing of a calculator. Maybe Alexis liked the font, or something, because it’s truly unfortunate and not at all her vibe.

“We are taking a side trip to IKEA if it kills us,” David announces to the mat and the stoop at large.

He finally locates the key, opens the door, and proceeds to walk directly into a damp, curly-haired man wearing only a pair of dark rinse mid-range denim.

“Well well well, Alexis didn’t tell me she had company.” David surveys the pale sparse hair scattered over the man’s chest, probably doing nothing to hide his leer. At first glance, the stranger is firm and compact and not overly muscular, but he’s not hard to look at, either. Big eyes, big hands, oh, hello, big feet too. “I’m David.”

“I’m Patrick,” he responds, hands planted on his hips, eyes questioning. “Who is Alexis?”

David thought Alexis was past the days of not giving her real name to conquests but New York bars are loud and—wait, Alexis is dating Twyla and it’s fairly serious. David looks around, conjuring up what he’s seen on FaceTime when he and Alexis talk.

He recognizes nothing. No Alexis Rose Communication placards, no floral arrangements, no framed photographs. Everything here is brown and blue and grey, muted.

Patrick, currently half-naked and puzzled, nudges toward the table in his entryway, his hand resting near a large candle that he probably plans to bludgeon David about the head with, in self-defense.

“The key was under the mat!” David shouts, protecting his wet hair and precious skull with his forearms. “Please don’t murder me for breaking and entering because, not to nitpick, it was primarily entering.”

“Not to nitpick either but I think the crime you’re committing might be trespassing. Granted, I am not a lawyer, so don’t quote me.”

“Are you a killer?” David slowly lowers one arm.

“Not lately?” Patrick has a nice voice and a straight nose and eyelashes that belong on a Disney princess, so it’s a shame that David might get arrested soon. Another time, another place…

“What if I just slowly back away and we pretend that my sister isn’t an idiot with directions and that I am dry, first and foremost, and that this—“ David gestures between them to encompass the incident, “—this never happened.”

“I don’t think so.” Patrick picks up the cell phone that sits next to the bludgeoning candle and starts to unlock it.

“Or!” David is an excellent negotiator, he can make this work. “Or, can I ask for a one minute head start on the cops? I do not do well with running.”

Patrick’s face changes then, from puzzled to bemused to something that looks like snark, which is blatantly unfair when David is trying desperately to appease him. But then the snark softens, and it catches David off-guard, as geared up as he was for a fight. Or at least a banter. “In the interest of keeping you out of the clink and away from strenuous cardiovascular activities, what if I don’t call the police and instead, call your sister.”

David’s mouth falls open. Is he being propositioned? Is this a sex thing? Should he appalled? Excited? “What for?”

“To help you find her. Since she doesn’t live here.” Patrick seems to be reconsidering his offer, but instead he cocks his head and wiggles his phone in David’s direction. “Or you could call her.”

David accepts Patrick’s phone and dials Alexis’s number. Of course she doesn’t answer, because she has no regard whatsoever for his safety, or his propensity to involve himself in embarrassing situations. He leaves a tense, rambling message that may or may not begin, hi David, this is Alexis, and hangs up with his face burning. “I swear I have a sister, that wasn’t just a line.”

“Sure.” Patrick is back to amused. David is getting tired of not looking at Patrick’s bare chest, so he just brazenly stares at his left nipple for a second to center himself. “Everyone who breaks in here says that.”

“It’s trespassing!” David says to the nipple and Patrick’s phone rings just as Patrick is responding, almost assuredly with something biting.

It’s Alexis, thank fuck, and he gets the correct address and a promise that she will not tell anyone this story for any reason, not even upon threat of death. Or in his inevitable unauthorized biography.

During the conversation, Patrick wanders away to put on a shirt, which is unfortunate, but the turn gives David an opportunity to see the curve of ass under the mid-range jeans, and he’s momentarily mesmerized.

When David hangs up, Patrick is back in a pale blue button-up and brown Oxford shoes. A curl hangs down his forehead and David suddenly wishes they’d met in a bar, or at a gallery, and not as part of his new life of crime.

“Everything good then?” Patrick asks, not taking back the phone that David is trying to hand him. “You have the address? Is it close? I have an umbrella you can borrow, if you want.”

This is too much niceness now, and it makes David nervous. Maybe there’s still time for murder. Who murders who does not matter at this point. “Why?”

“So you don’t get wet?”

David nods in such rapid succession he’s worried his head will roll right off. “Okay, that does make sense now.”

“Or…or I could walk you there in the interest of keeping you from trespassing at my neighbors’ homes, and take you for a cup of coffee. Or something stronger.” Patrick smiles and it’s even brighter than David expects. It’s like turning on a light in a dark room and the impact warms David from his head to his toes. “It’s for everyone’s safety, really, since there seems to be a burglar on the loose.”

“The key was under the mat!”

“Yes, that part was on me.” Patrick grins again, then reaches for his phone so his hand grazes David’s. David wouldn’t call it lightning, but there is a buzz of electricity. “So, up for a walk?”

“Is the umbrella still invited?”

Patrick takes a long handled golf umbrella out of a stand in the corner and hands it to David with a hopeful look on his face. David accepts.

It ends up taking David and Patrick six hours and one slow, sweet kiss goodnight to walk across the street to Alexis’s apartment, trespassing forgiven.

Thanks to @alysiswriting for the gorgeous art; I can’t choose between them either!

First Line Last line

I was tagged by @chelle-68 and @likerealpeopledo-on-ao3 Thank you! Happy to be able to participate without giving spoilers for my current fic! So this is my last five fics, first line and last line, no context!

I really haven't been writing as much this year considering 5 fics ago was y Christmas fic! (stupid work)

Christmas Drinks

Patrick leant on the counter and put his head into his hands, staring out at the snow coming down.

Then they turned to face their family, together.

2. Necessary Approvals

“So, you invited him?” Stevie asked, cocking an eyebrow in his direction.

“David, you need to keep this one. I like him.”

3. Butterflies

It had been three days since Patrick had kissed David.

Stupid butterflies. 

4. The Seven

Lust- The first time David saw him, David wanted him.

Nothing before this moment had been as important as the chance he was about to take.

5. Chess and Milkshakes

“So,” Ronnie pondered, regarding the chess board warily.

She planned on protecting it.

Hey, this was lots of fun! I like seeing how the lines fit together.

If you wanna check out how yours work, then please play along. I'll tag some friends with zero expectations only if you have time.

@demora00 @rmd-writes @smblmn @goodiecornbread @steviestoospooky

Love you all my fandom friends!

Word of the week: Glitter

@schittscreekdrabbleblog 

He’d had been with Seb last night and now David’s looking at his business partner, whom he’s barely noticed. He shouldn’t compare.

He does anyway.

Sebastien is handsome, but he’s proof that all that glitters isn’t gold. 

David guesses that Patrick’s kind of cute. 

Maybe even beautiful, with his fair skin and big brown eyes. Those forearms.

Sebastien teases with sharp teeth.

Patrick teases with warmth. Fondness threading through every word.

Seb is pretentious and callous.

Patrick is kind, funny and smart. 

And incredibly, incandescently hot.

David has noticed Patrick a little bit.

Okay, a-fucking-lot. 

David’s in so much trouble.

[smallumbrella369]

Woohoo! Always love to be rec’d by the farm witches!

Hey witches! I’m sick in bed with Covid. 😢

Can you recommend some fics of one of the boys being sick and the other taking care of them? I think reading them will help me! 😷😷

Oh, no! We're sorry you're sick!

We've got this sickfic/caretaking list from a little earlier this year and we have a few more to add since then:

catch you when you fall - @rosedavid

fever dream - @smallumbrella369

happy birthday - achoo - you! - @a-noble-dragon

Feel better, friend!

Catch up from the beginning

[weathereyehorizon]

Stevie is still figuring out David’s new business partner but she’s learned a few things: how much he loves baseball, that Ronnie is going to be his enemy for life, and what his preferences are. The only question is whether some other guy is going to catch Patrick’s eye before David does.

Read it on AO3

Yellow Moon on the Rise by @patrickredactedbrewer

This is so sweet and fun and definitely makes you feel warm and fuzzy 😍

This is the author's summary:

“David was about to take his chances again when he looked up at the next float and saw the kissing booth boy, waving genially in a blue button down and slacks, with a plastic crown and a sash that said, unbelievably, ‘Corn Crown Prince.’”

Or, Stevie and Alexis drag David to Elm Grove’s 4th Annual Corn Festival, where Patrick is working their college baseball team’s kissing booth fundraiser.

I'm tagging @flowertrigger @saraminia @a-noble-dragon @smblmn @beaiola @njwoman @trickiwooao3 @cinnamonrollsos @thisbuildinghasfeelings @stargazer56 @like-its-all-infinite @smallumbrella369 @chelle-68 @mallpretzles

I want to recommend, the absolutely brilliant fic, He Shines by @smallumbrella369 (smallumbrella). It's a story about Patrick's journey to find himself and happiness told from Marcy's POV.

Don’t whump with my heart by @delilah-mcmuffin

Patrick’s plans for a romantic hike go terribly, terribly wrong. There’s angst, (the only kind I can tolerate= their relationship is never in peril) There’s so much love and healing and my god, I love this fic so so much. It is gorgeously written and you will feel all the fear and all the love. 

It’s almost NOT Friday anymore so if you haven’t been tagged you should play!

July 2021 Schitt’s Creek Fic Recs

Happy August!! This month has gone so quickly and yet we got so much wonderful fic being published almost every day! As always I’m not including any fics from the recent fests but I HIGHLY encourage you go and read them all! Elevate! 2021 was incredible with such a diverse mix of couplings, and the Passions and Pastimes fest will also begin posting soon!

1. he makes me feel like by @hullomoon

It was my birthday this month!!! And the LOVELY hullomoon posted this absolutely incredible first kiss barbecue fic for me!! It’s so incredibly sweet, I love canon diversions like this and this filled every possible wish I could have!! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and if you haven’t read it PLEASE do for you own sake!

2. Tell Me When You Know by @maxbegone

Another addition to the Sweet Caffeine series! This is all about Patrick’s proposal which, from the previous fic, has been one of my very favourite proposals I have read. It’s so so lovely and sweet and the perfect addition to an already incredible series!

3. Everyday Magic (series) by @mostlyinthemorning (@houdini74)

I have been living for these magic fics! Magical realism is in my top three tropes and these have consistently been super fun and really really sweet! I was especially fond of the cat!David one, (unsurprisingly considering I also wrote one for the tropefest a few months ago) which is SO PERFECT, I love it when people get the characteristics so right even with something so far away from canon, and we ALWAYS deserve more catvid fics in the world.

4. a simple complication by @LFTPD

THEY’RE SUCH IDIOTS, I devoured this fic so fast. Patrick is such a dumb gay, letting everyone believe he and David are dating, while David ACTUALLY begins to believe it despite never having kissed Patrick. Incredible, hilarious, and sweet as hell!

5. Vampires Are People Too!: Season 1 by @petrodobreva

This fic has NOT gotten enough attention. It’s so incredibly detailed, with an incredibly developed storyline, and one of the sweetest explorations of David/Patrick as a high school relationship I have read. Like seriously run don’t walk to go and read this, you will thank me after.

6. got no sway on my destiny by @5ambreakdown

We love an AU with some trauma mixed in. This is a super short little exploration of alternate timelines which will leave you wanting more but also needing a solid week to recover. 

7. PDA: Public Displays of Anxiety by @delilah-mcmuffin

Nobody understands Patrick’s character intricacies like this fic does. It felt so very in character for him to overthink his and David’s PDA, and I loved the slight angst combined with mutual pining even though they’re already together.

8. Can You Help Me by @trueillusion82​

The Queen of Hurt/Comfort back at it with this very soft fic. It’s early relationship and has a lot of caretaker David which I adore, and as always the overthinking and tentative caring for each other is done just perfectly!!

9. The Dude Ranch by @alldaydream

Not much to say about this one except OMG COWBOY PATRICK, this one made me laugh so much, I loved the silly nature of it, I loved the immediate interest in each other, and of course I loved the teasing! Just the perfect combination of every meet-cute trope.

10. Before I Met You by @dinnfameron​

Incredible as always, this fic considers what if David and Patrick had met long before Schitt’s Creek, and been passing figures in each other’s lives. I love the concept that there was some fate or cosmic intervention in their meeting and I love how sweet they are with each other even before they know how important they will be!

+1. [art] booths and bleachers by @sparklesmagiclightlove for Molten Glass Hearts by  @januarium​

This is some of my favourite art I’ve seen in a long time! It’s beautiful as always and perfectly encapsulates the slight changes made to the characters in the story (see: Patrick’s undercut). Go and leave a lovely comment if you get the chance, as fanart very rarely gets the attention it deserves!
