It's Day Four, and we hope you're ready for these fics! Grab your holiday beverage and settle in!

DAY FOUR REVEALS

Christmas Parol

[Stevie/Ruth, E, 11,038 words]

RMG is having its very first Holiday Party….

*❄️*

Hotter than Chocolate

[David/Patrick, G, 5,200 words]

David didn’t have “snippy man with soulful eyes and a devastating smile” on his Christmas List this year, but he wasn’t going to complain.

Well, not too much anyway.

Or…

David and Patrick meet while doing some last minute shopping on Christmas Eve.

*❄️*

[podfic] Snipe

[David/Patrick, M, 1:01:37]

Audio recording of "Snipe" by samwhambam

***

David knew it was going to happen, one day he would have to meet Patrick's parents, but it still takes him by surprise when it does, when they insist on getting to know David. What really shocks him, is how well it all goes.

Snipe: A sweet shot that beats the goalie.

Or hockey bfs, but the one where David meets the Brewers

CREATORS: If your works were released today, please don’t forget to update your posting date!

Pinapple

@schittscreekdrabblechallenge

"Antonio, what's this on the pizza?" David takes a bite scrunches his nose, and puts his piece down.  "It's pineapple.  I grow it in my hothouse. Only the best for my Prince!"  "Hothouse.  Can I see?" Patrick perks up and leaves David with the girls. "In my culture pineapples are...how do you say it? You eat them if you want kids." Ruth hums.  David drops his slice.  Stevie laughs. "Patrick is not going to get you pregnant."  "How do you know?" David takes another bite.  "Stop eating it if you don't like it!"   "I have to be polite!" 

[farm-witches-fic-recs]

Most joyous of Fridays to you, our farm witch friends!

The coven is so happy to be able to bring you our first round of May community recs. We hope that you will enjoy these reads and make sure to give the writers some love!

Blessed be!

=========================================

Before I Met You ( @dinnfameron​) “It’s 2008. David’s at his local bar in NYC feeling alone and unlovable when a very drunk curly-haired spring-breaking business student appears at his side. Dinnfameron’s account of the resulting conversation is excellent—it’s perceptive but still playful, and it’s sweet but not simple.”

Hungry (aworldofdreams) “This little fic is a masterclass in sensuous, even smutty, food-based metaphor and imagery. You will never look at bechamel sauce in the same light again. You will never look at an orange in the same light again. You will fan yourself, and then perhaps take a cool shower.”

Nothing burns like the cold (@wildxwired​) “I'm a not a crier, but I get weepy over this fic. Everything about it is perfect from Patrick's introspective hallucinations and the range of emotions to the utter relief at the end.” 

Spring Forward, Fall Back (The_Same_But_Different) “I love David trying to wrap his head around spring training.”

Show this town how to kiss these stars (doingthemost/@sarahlevys​) “The first of a beautifully written trio of Stevie/Ruth early relationship stories. A first date in NYC that ends with the strong implication that maybe this time, Stevie will win.”

Stride of Pride (NotTheLoveGuru) “It's a cute post-night at Stevie's fic.”

What Happened to You? (therapychicken) “This is a deep exploration of Patrick's and David's established canon relationship, circa Season 5. Patrick is taken off of the "perfect boyfriend" pedestal and the two of them have intensely serious and nuanced conversations about what it means to enact honesty, vulnerability, and reciprocity in a long-term relationship between adults, and in a lot of ways they're talking about the sharing of power in a way that is rare and beautiful. One of David's speeches late in this piece has stuck with me for years and I find myself thinking about it all the time. Great stuff.”

[scrarefest]

SC Rare Fest is returning!

Looking for stories about the Rose family and their friendships with all our favorite Schitt’s Creek characters? Interested in exploring the relationships between our favorite townies? Want to explore how Ronnie got to Schitt’s Creek, what Patrick and Derek talked about during rehearsals, or who bought a tarot card reading from Twyla? What about all the potential throuples and moreples in this universe, or the rare ships that could’ve happened with a canon divergence? Or some post-canon happily-ever-afters, both romantic and platonic? SC Rare Fest is for you!

We are super excited to share that SC Rare Fest is returning for another round of fun!

Quick Details

Works featuring rare ships of all sorts are welcome

Works featuring gen stories of all sorts are welcome

Works based on rare/gen stories of all sorts are welcome, including podfic, art, filk, and everything else!

For example, what do Patrick and Stevie enjoy doing that David hates? What does a shopping spree between David and Alexis look like? Do Johnny and Patrick ever watch another baseball game together? If you have any questions about the intentions of this fest as it pertains to David/Patrick, we are happy to share more of our thoughts!

your secret's safe with me [stevie/ruth, stevie & david, M, 3.1k]

A @scrarefest fic

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.

Rare & Gen Rec Round-Up - January & February 2023

Hello friends and welcome! We hope 2023 has been treating you all well. It’s certainly been treating AO3 well. There have been so many great fics and we’re excited to share our favorites with you. So, make sure you grab a snack, your favorite blanket, and show these fics some love. 

–

at every table i’ll save you a seat by @nerdframed, Stevie/Ruth, rated T, 2,082 words

SUMMARY: Stevie didn't think Ruth knowing how she takes her coffee would mean so much, as well as other realizations.

Rec [written by hullomoon]: The unspoken way a partner learns little details about you is something that makes me 🤧 Woven throughout their travels, this is a perfect Stevie/Ruth fic.

–

Auld Acquaintance by @treepyful, Stevie/Ruth, rated T, 2840 words

SUMMARY: Ruth gets separated from her friends on NYE, but the night manages to go up from there.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: Okay, I might be biased, since this was written for me, but I love that this fic puts Stevie and Ruth into situations and tropes that we don't usually see for them. It's a breath of fresh air for these two, and the momentum towards the end is so fun!

–

a decision not taken by @alysiswriting, Patrick/Rachel, rated G, 775 words

SUMMARY: If Patrick had made a very different decision, and put the happiness of others before his own.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: Thank goodness for the "alternate universe" tag on this one! This ficlet is gut-wrenching, but also so wonderfully done at the same time.

–

Gentleness by @alysiswriting, Stevie/Twyla, rated E, 1,037 words

SUMMARY: Stevie wants Twyla. In every tender, gentle way her girlfriend gives her. Something Stevie had never expected, and now something she would not be without.

Rec [written by hullomoon]: Soft and sensual, if you love one partner gently worshipping the other this fic is for you.

–

She said I got her if I want (she’s so soft like silk chiffon) by Fuckingkity, Stevie/Alexis, rated M, 1,350 words

SUMMARY: After David and Patrick’s wedding, Stevie and Alexis spend the night together. Wink wink nudge nudge

Rec [written by hullomoon]: I am so here for the headcanon that Stevie and Alexis hook up at David and Patrick’s wedding. Stevie’s confession is well-done here and makes her first kiss with Alexis so satisfying.

–

where you go (forever and ever) by @anniemurphys, Alexis/Twyla, rated T, 2489 words

SUMMARY: On a January weekend, as a storm rolls in, Alexis Rose rolls into Schitt’s Creek too, much to Twyla’s surprise.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I love the childhood friends trope, and we don't have enough of it in this corner of the Schitt's Creek fandom! This is such a fun take on Alexis and Twyla, haunting and moody and full of a quiet, hopeful optimism all at the same time.

–

you spoke to me so sweetly by @hippolotamus, Alexis/Twyla, rated E, 2653 words

SUMMARY: Alexis hums her appreciation, letting her eyes fall closed while Twyla repeats the circuitous route, and breathing in the blend of lavender and lemon oil her wife insisted upon for “calm and good luck”. The temporary serenity only lasts for three or four passes until a light knock at the door interrupts. She doesn’t try to hide her instant pout when the gentle pressure disappears and she’s forced to open her eyes again.

Dr. Rist breezes inside, far too perky in Alexis’s opinion. Perhaps it’s a good sign. Despite her nerves, Alexis plasters her PR smile on, and clasps Twyla’s hand – the only tell she’ll allow to indicate she’s worried while they wait to find out what kind of life changing the appointment will be.

“Well,” Dr. Rist says. “Alexis. Twyla. Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s begin, shall we?”

Rec [written by doingthemost]: Mind the tags on this one, as there's some medical angst a fair amount of hurt/comfort, but if you want to feel warm and taken care of just like Alexis and Twyla take care of each other in this beautiful lil' fic, look no further. 

–

Happy reading, friends!

[hippolotamus]

I would like to know more about Stevie/Ruth not their first meeting!

According to G docs I haven't done anything with this in over a year. Still, one day, it will be made! It will become a Real WIP™️! Below is a snippet, but also the only words I've written for it:

Stevie sees her first and...no. It can’t be. But the jet black hair, the familiar smile. The easy confidence she carries. It can’t possibly be anyone else. And when she very professionally sticks out her hand and says “I’m Ruth.” Stevie knows for sure. She knows her heart hurts and there’s no escape and this day cannot end fast enough.

The thought behind this one is they met in college, separate for some yet-to-be-determined amount of time, and meet again during The Pitch. I'm excited that I haven't touched this one in a while. @stereopticons has brought me over to the 'Stevie's Aro change my mind' side so I feel like that will add an entirely new element to the story.

ask me about my wips!

[snowy-weather]

I like to design little symbols/emblems for my Ace of Swords characters. Here's some key characters and their symbols.

Santos originally also had the teardrop shape but I didn't want two characters with the exact same symbol.

[hullomoon]

hullomoon’s 2022 works: part three

it’s the end of the year, which means it’s time for a work round-up! this year i really tipped into being podfic heavy (and more multifandom!). if you haven’t yet, check out my 2019 roundup, 2020 roundup, and 2021 roundup! all works are ordered in chronological posting order.

part one | part two | part three | part four | part five | part six | part seven | part eight

throw wishes to the well | schitt’s creek | stevie/ruth | 02:26

Stevie and Ruth make a wish

[Podfic} Wellies Always Kiss and Tell | Check Please! | Zimbits | multivoice | 50:59

Turns out, everyone in the haus has kissed Bitty. Everyone except Jack. This does not sit well with him. That’s it, that’s the fic.

[podfic] A String of Bad Luck | schitt’s creek | david/patrick | 0:48:06

Patrick is David’s good luck charm until one day the luck runs out.

[Podfic] Several Ados About One Thing | bbc sherlock | gen | multivoice | 04:35

One play, several different responses to it.

What Would You Do With 40 Oranges? | voiceteam |02:17

In which the plucky 40 Orange Glaze team Orange realize they all love gay pirates and create and perform a theme song.

[podfic] if i’m not beyond repair | schitt’s creek | david/patrick | 0:49:36

“Patrick Brewer?” the woman on the other end asks when he picks up.

“This is he.”

“Hi Mr. Brewer, it’s Stacy from Elmdale Hospital. You’re listed as the emergency contact for a patient who was just brought in?”

“Who is it?” Patrick asks, wracking his brain to try to remember who locally would list him as an emergency contact. There’s no one he’s that close to anymore. The only person here he’s ever been an emergency contact for is—

“David Rose.”

His ex-boyfriend. Right.

[podfic] night shift | our flag means death | mature | blackbonnet | 0:39:59

The man gripping on to Ed’s arm like a lifeline has wind matted hair, a rough jaw, and fingernails blackened with dirt. He’s no longer the same person Ed laid on a dock and waited an entire night for.

He doesn’t know whether to laugh, or cry.

or: Stede and his crew return to the Revenge. Ed isn’t quite ready to deal with that.

[podfic] minutes into hours (hours into years) | the adventure zone | lup/barry and lup & taako | 0:21:13

Lup gets her life back, gets her body back. But those ten years in the Umbra staff have changed her, and Taako too, and bridging the difference proves harder than they expected.

[Podfic] heartless | our flag means death | blackbonnet | multivoice | 0:33:56

Stede seems determined to win Edward back. It must be why he keeps “accidentally” showing up in Edward’s life.

[podfic + script] A 40 Orange Glaze to Curb the Scurvy | our flag means death | gen | multivoice | 07:11

It had seemed like such a good idea when Stede had come up with it. A nice birthday party so his families could get to know one another. They would all gather on the Revenge in an isolated cove off Barbados. The two groups could mingle and exchange pleasantries while they had drinks, nibbles, and a ridiculously large orange glazed cake. What could possibly go wrong?

[shrekgogurt]

An ask game for writers to procrastinate working on you WIP(s)

Thanks for the tags @theearlgreymage and @wellbelesbian !!!!

🦈Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s)

For the sake of this endeavor I’m gonna focus on I Knew A Boy, I Knew A Man which is also more affectionately referred to as IKABIKAM, eyecab eyecam, 👁️🚕👁️📸, etc.

🍄Describe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “___ + ___ =___”  

Natasha as like a vaguely Margaret Thatcher figure but she was in office in the late 90s not the 80s don’t think about it too hard okay the exact policy/praxis doesn’t matter so much as the ideology/vibes/dynamic + Davy (The Mage) as like a fucked up Welsh caricature (of his own design) because he’s overcompensating and has the media literacy of the worst film bro you’ve ever had the misfortune of talking to = their sons falling in love through football/soccer against all odds as juxtaposed between childhood and adulthood.

🌍What tags or warnings will your / one of your wip(s) need if you intend to share it?

Trauma

🧭An alternative title to your/ one of your WIP(s)?

Solsbury Hill for obvious reasons

⚠️Which wip you’re most likely to finish or update next?

This one :-)

💾What is your document of your wip/ a wip called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as)

Okay, I’m usually absolute ass at naming files in any helpful fashion but this project is so organized on Google Docs. My notes app is a different story. Those don’t even have titles. I just launch into my whims as they come.

Most interesting answer I can give is that the folder containing all my fic documents is titled “kill the part that cringes.”

🖍Post Any sentence from your wip

Listen, I warned y’all.

To be in love with Simon Snow—a life sentence, an encyclopedia of grief.

♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP

In the original musings of IKABIKAM—titled Scarborough Fair as the club was gonna be in Scarborough—Simon was Irish rather than Welsh and raised by Ruth. I know. Wild to think about now. But it’s true. And then I did some excavating on canon and the story we have today was born. Lost to time (the original idea of this fic which was actually two fics) is a whole very fun scene. I had planned that after the international break match against other, Simon convinced Baz to go out on the town with him. I wrote this snippet back then. It didn’t make the cut for obvious reasons and honestly I don’t know how much I stand by the characterization. Or the prose. Everything about IKABIKAM is better to me but this sexy little number deserves the people’s attention. I’m slightly concerned it’s offensive.

They’re playing INDUSTRY BABY in this club right now? I’m not dancing with Simon Snow to a Lil Nas X song. That music video…I’m only a man. I’m also not exactly sober. I will not risk a Snow relapse. Besides, Snow himself just downed the rest of his drink.

He leans toward me to say something. With the combination of his drunkenness and his accent I can barely make out his words, “eye gahta gohbakta da barrr.” (Translation: I’ve got to go back to the bar.) He really doesn’t.

I pluck the glass from his hand, “this last one is on me.”

He goofily smiles. His head is drooping to the side and his eyes are half-lidded. It would be adorable if I wasn’t worried about him falling over. I scan the room. One of the other Irish players is nearby. I hook Snow’s arm in mine (both my hands are full!) and drag him towards his teammate. He stumbles behind me looking completely blissed out.

I tap the other player on his shoulder. Clancy I think? The left winger. “Hey, I’m going to force Snow home so he can avoid a stomach pump. Could you make sure he doesn’t wander off while I close out my tab?”

He nods. I throw Snow at him and maneuver through the crowd up to the bar. It’s packed. I finish my own drink before I can push an opening to order. The bartender nods at me. She looks worn out from the night. I don’t blame her.

“Soda water with lime please.”

“Sure. What’s the name on the tab?”

“Grimm-Pitch. Could you close it?”

She nods and turns on her heel. A minute or so later she returns with the drink and my card. I take them.

“Is there any chance I could close out my mate’s tab too. He’s pissed.” I gesture back at the direction of Snow and Clancy. A circle of women have surrounded them. Honestly, fair.

The bartender gives me a wary eye. “What’s the name?”

“Snow.”

“Snow? Like the footballer Simon Snow over there?” She points at Simon.

I nod. The bartender scoffs, “Sure I’ll give Simon Snow’s card to some random Englishman.”

Random Englishman? Am I really going to have to do you know who I am this woman? I go for a subtle approach and just sort of lift an eyebrow and draw attention to the name on my own card: Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch. The realization hits her. I was afraid I would have to tie my hair up.

“Oh shit. Fuck you’re Baz Pitch.” She stares at me. I hold out my hand. “Right, the card!” She hands me Snow’s card.

I nod, “Alright. Thanks.”

She shakes her head at me, “No, sorry for the hassle. Have a good night English…defensive midfielder…Baz Pitch.” She says my name with a laugh like she’s awestruck I’m in this Dublin nightclub (fair), “and thanks for the win today!”

I’m beyond tired of hearing that line.

When I return Snow is having the time of his life: posted up surrounded by ladies singing along to Ayyy Ladies. They’re not being subtle in their flirting. (Again, fair. Good for them.) Snow is incredibly respectful despite being off his face. Good lad. He’s still far too drunk to consent to anything so I don’t feel terribly guilty for pulling him away from the grind fest.

When he sees me approach he lights up, “Baz!” His arms fly open. “Took you long enough.”

I hand him his drink. There is a blonde woman dancing on him. She throws her arms around his neck. He knocks back the drink and chugs it in one go. A little water dribbles down his chin and he wipes it away with his thumb. It catches on his bottom lip. He hasn’t looked away from me once. And this fucking song…

“When I hit it from the back, don't fuss, don't fight

When I put it in ya mouth, don't scratch, don't bite”

I need to get the fuck out of here.

He hands me back the glass, “That drink was awful. What was it?” His speech is a little less slurred than before.

“Water. I’m taking you home.”

He blushes, “What?”

“You’re plastered. So, you should get sick in your own loo rather than on this lovely woman,” I give the blonde a wink. She dances away.

I’m pretty sure tabs aren’t even really that much of a thing in Ireland. And like…I don’t think you can close them out for someone else. So like. I don’t know what the fuck I was on while writing that. Obviously not Google.com, or reality. But most of all I was absolutely jump-scared reading that back and discovering I was gonna make Baz a defensive midfielder? WTF!?

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

A hockey one-shot. Whenever it happens the chirps are gonna be out of this world.

🤡How many Wips are you actively working on?

One in a way that’s meaningful. Maybe two. It’s a fresh thing.

🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

The chapter is really expositional in an isolated way and so I have to backtrack for context without being boring.

❤️Not a question, just a second kudos to send.

Blessed beyond belief.

Gold

@schittscreekdrabblechallenge

"For your troubles." Stevie hands Antonio a bag of gold when they are ready to leave. "My lady, I could never! Having royalty in my house is its own reward!" Stevie rolls her eyes. "Okay. Well, how about selling us some of your pineapples." "And some of that flatbread? It will be good for traveling!" Ruth adds on. So the ladies' carriage gets loaded down with pineapples and breads of all shape and sizes. "Goodness. Was it that much gold?" Stevie wonders. Ruth pats the spot next to her. "It's okay, my lady. We'll spread the wealth as we travel."

[farm-witches-fic-recs]

Greetings, friends!

April showers not only brought May flowers on the farm, but also our allergies and a small incident with some broom restringing and a few cats that we’d rather not talk about. 

But! Now we are sharing a few of our faves in hopes that you will enjoy them as well as do some reading and scrolling this weekend. As always, be sure to leave the creators some love!

------------------------------------------

Dimples (@smallumbrella369​) “This fic is a short, sexy peek into David and Patrick’s night at Stevie’s. David discovers Patrick’s lower back dimples and thinks about being happy. Sweet and Spicy.” 

A moment to ourselves (@lizzie-bennetdarcy​) **ART**  “The love and joy in this perfect piece of fan art is so, so real.”

A test of time (houdini74/@mostlyinthemorning​) “This deep-cut has it all. Romance, time travel, intrigue, Alexis being a boss babe, Stevie trying to get idiots to communicate. We highly recommend you go on this adventure!”

Worlds apart (@blackandwhiteandrose​) “We see David going home to where Patrick grew up in lots of great fics, but what about Patrick getting to see where David was "raised"?  There's so many big, beautiful feelings in this thoughtful fic.”

Your secret’s safe with me (@stereopticons​)  “Stevie planning a surprise party for her girlfriend is wonderful on its own, but getting David involved just makes this  fun fic even sweeter and funnier.”

[scrarefest]

PROMPTING IS NOW OPEN FOR SC RARE FEST!

Want more stories about the Rose family’s found family? Interested in exploring the relationships between our favorite townies? Want to explore Patrick and Ray’s relationship as roomies, how Ronnie joined the Jazzagals, or what happens to Alexis in New York? What about all the potential throuples, moreples in this universe, or the rare ships that could’ve happened with a canon divergence? Or some post-canon happily-ever-afters, both romantic and platonic? 

We are the fest for you!

How Prompting Works

Between today, January 30, and February 13, you can leave prompts on AO3! Any ideas for rare or gen works can be left here for creators’ inspiration.

We will have catch-all prompts, for those who want to keep their ideas secret (instead of posting and claiming their own prompt) or for fanartists, vidders, podficcers, etc. who wants to create work for this fest that’s based off of an existing work. They will be posted after prompting closes so they are at the top.

Prompts featuring any non David/Patrick romantic relationship, whether they are canon or not-canon, or any non-romantic relationship, whether they are canon or non-canon, are welcome!

We ask that your work not be centered around the David/Patrick relationship. While it can be in the work as a background element—of course David or Patrick may talk to a friend or family member about their relationship!—we ask that your work be centered around their relationships with others. For example, what do Patrick and Stevie enjoy doing that David hates? What does a shopping spree between David and Alexis look like? Do Johnny and Patrick ever watch another baseball game together? If you have any questions about the intentions of this fest as it pertains to David/Patrick, we are happy to share more of our thoughts!

To give everyone a fair chance at claims, we will be removing claims made earlier than February 13. We will announce on Tumblr when claiming is officially open!

Important Dates

Prompting is open January 30-February 13

Works are due April 9

Posting will take place from April 10-14

Creators are revealed April 17

Our ask box is open if you have any questions. Help us spread the word, and start prompting today!

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]
