Headcanons: Alexis Rose, David Rose and Stevie Budd Taking Care of You When You're Sick

MASTERLIST | AO3 | KO-FI

Relationship(s): Alexis Rose x gn!reader (romantic or platonic), David Rose x gn!reader (romantic or platonic), Stevie Budd x gn!reader (romantic or platonic)

Warnings: Reader has a common cold, which gets ever so slightly gross at points, if you squint. Possible grammatical oversights because I'm sick myself. (Let me know if I need to add any)

(A/N: This is my third cold of the year. I have no idea why I keep getting sick, but at least it's inspired me to write more than I did last year, I guess! The first time I got sick, I wrote headcanons and a ficlet for Yellowjackets, Community, Dead Poets Society and Scott Pilgrim characters taking care of a sick reader. This time around, I felt motivated to write for Schitt's Creek. I haven't finished the show (I'm on season 5, I believe), and as of writing this A/N I haven't added it to my fandom list yet. But, anyway, it's nice to pretend that these guys are my friends or lovers who are taking care of me in my feeble state. I made it ambiguous because I figured more people could get more out of this, plus it didn't feel necessary to make it solely romantic or platonic. Anyway, feel free to send in Schitt's Creek requests, especially for Stevie and Alexis, my beloveds.)

ALEXIS

The word ‘ew’ comes up a lot.

Alexis 100% keeps her distance*.

She’ll be in the room with you, but she will have one foot out of the door.

At some point, you will ask her for a box of tissues, and she will throw them at you from across the room like she’s feeding something she’s afraid of.

If she hits you in the head with it, she will offer up an apology.

*She’ll work up the courage to inch closer and closer to you, until eventually she’s at your bedside.

She’ll spend a lot of time on her phone to the point that it feels insulting that she’s blatantly ignoring you when you’re feeling this awful, BUT she is actually spending a lot of time looking into the best ways to treat your cold.

She might get distracted by some gossipy headlines between medical articles, though.

You will be able to tell when she audibly gasps and reads out the headline to you with shock and glee.

You’ll have to tell her if you want anything because she will not, at least to begin with, take initiative.

She tries to get out of going to the drug store herself, and she asks Ted, Twyla, her parents, David and Stevie if they can go on her behalf because she claims to be too busy taking care of you to go herself.

But, she’ll go herself when no one ends up being available, and she’ll ask you not to die while she’s gone.

If you’re asleep when she gets back, she’ll repeat your name, poke you and shake you until you wake up, startled and slightly irritated.

But, it’s just because she’s worried you’re dead/dying, which you are absolutely not allowed to do on her watch.

It comes from a place of caring about you <3

According to her, it would be ‘super embarrassing if you died from a cold’.

She’ll proudly show you everything she bought from the drug store, and she’ll buy you an unnecessary present because she knows that receiving a gift would make her feel better if she were ill.

By the end of it, she actually kind of enjoys taking care of you, and she’ll take great pride in your recovery.

DAVID

David is very similar to Alexis when it comes to taking care of you.

He will ask you if you’re sure there’s no one else available to take care of you, and he will resort to suggesting people you’ve barely spoken to until he eventually just caves.

Like with Alexis, David will not make an effort to disguise how utterly repulsed he is by you.

He will insult you so many times, mostly without meaning to be so offensive, and he will sheepishly apologise for it when you send him an unimpressed glare.

He’ll keep his distance, not as much as Alexis, but he definitely keeps you at least at an arm’s length.

He ends up stinking of hand sanitiser because of how often he keeps applying it.

If you ask him to get you something, he will do it with a sigh.

Every time you cough or sneeze, he flinches like a brick’s been thrown through the window.

He’ll tuck his nose and mouth under his top if/when you have a coughing or sneezing fit.

He’ll go as far as to offer to make you soup or go to the store so he doesn’t have to be in the same room as you.

But he’ll insist that he just wants to help you feel better.

You do not buy it.

Despite his boredom, he’d feel rude spending too much time on his phone (or you might tell him to get off his phone because you’re bored, and he’d rather not deal with that), so he’ll end up putting a trashy reality show on to distract you from how you’re feeling (and to entertain himself).

Seeing you so under the weather does make him feel genuinely bad for you.

The only reason he accepts his role as your unqualified nurse is because he cares about you, whether or not he clearly expresses that.

But, he does start to think more about you than himself as the day goes on.

Like, he forgets about his own self-pity that he felt about having to spend his day taking care of you.

Regardless of how awful you look and feel, he will tease you about being sick.

Any pity he expresses for you is said with heavy sarcasm and condescension.

You can get back at him by throwing a snotty tissue at him.

It will deeply upset him.

STEVIE

Of the three of these guys, Stevie is the least repulsed by you.

She’s still at least slightly disgusted by you.

But, she’s nowhere near as dramatic about it as Alexis and David are.

She will only slightly hesitate to get near you.

But, it’s more because of her guarded nature as opposed to any aversion to your sickness.

She’d rather not get sick herself, but she won’t go to the lengths that Alexis and David will to avoid it.

A small part of her wouldn’t mind getting sick only because it’d be funny to upset David with it.

Like David, she will make fun of you and laugh at you for being sick, because one of her main love languages is mocking the misfortune of her loved ones.

She will tell you how gross you are, even if it doesn’t actually bother her that much.

She will half-heartedly apologise if you’re obviously not amused by it.

Of Alexis, David and herself, she is the most proactive, which might be surprising considering that, when she’s working, she rarely bothers to get up and do things unless prompted, and even then she’s pretty hesitant.

But, she’ll offer to go to the drug store before you have to ask her.

She’ll insist that you’ll feel better after a glass of wine, but it’s obvious she just wants a glass of wine, too.

She’s very attentive to you.

Sure, she’ll go on her phone, especially when you’re sleeping, but she won’t neglect you.

She enjoys your company, which she doesn’t express in any way besides the fact that she will have conversations with you that last for hours.

Like with David, you’ll probably end up watching some dumb TV show to distract/entertain yourselves.

She will take it upon herself to remember when you have to take your medicine, and she’ll be great at reminding you to drink something when she notices you haven’t in a while.

Of course she’ll say it in her own Stevie way that makes it seem like she doesn’t really care (but you know her well enough to know that she does).

“You might wanna drink something if you don’t want to sound like the Babadook anymore.”

Stevie’s concern for you and your recovery may not be at all overt, but she does sincerely want to see you get better.

After all, just sitting with you in your room all day gets pretty boring when you’re not feeling like yourself and you keep falling asleep.

E, X, Y please 💖

E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?

For some reason, Patrick Brewer? Which is weird cuz I came out at nineteen, I am not witty in the way he is, I have zero business acumen, and I definitely didn’t have a stable childhood. All told, we don’t have anything in common. But for some reason… I get him? It’s probably the “allergic to confrontation” thing. I got that shit in spades. 

X: How would you categorize your fanfic reading?  Are you a voracious reader?  Do you carefully pick and choose?  Something in between?

Every day I battle with my inner child on this one. She was often told “sit there and don’t move til you finish your homework etc” so whenever there is something I want to read, or something I feel like I should do, my immediate, reflexive answer is “you can’t tell me what to do!”

I have to let her throw a bit of a tantrum for old times’ sake first, before I start reading a fic. Once I do, it will take hold of me the way nothing else can,  I’ll do nothing else until I finish it, and I’ll think of nothing but that fic for days. 

There are so many amazing stories out there and I've loved every single one I've read. I love fan fic. I love reading new, incredible stories. I just have to do my own mental gymnastics first. 

Y: What are your thoughts on your personal satisfaction with something you’ve written vs. the popularity of your stories?  Do you tend to be most satisfied with your most popular stories?  

Short answer: No.

My favorite example of this is You Were There All Along. It’s a niche fic, done for a fest, but something possessed me when I wrote it. I had the entire thing done in three weeks (a fucking record. I’ve never ever written anything that long that quickly). It’s also the fic that took the least amount of editing/rewriting. Much of what is there is more or less a first draft, which is WILD. I’m an obsessive editor.

Looking back, I’m not sure I captured all the beautiful essence that is Stevie Budd but that fic will forever and always hold such a special place in my heart. 

It currently has 23 kudos. 

It always feels good when a fic is popular. I fucking LOVE waking up to those AO3 emails saying “You’ve got Kudos!” But stats are not a metric I use for whether or not I feel satisfied with what I’ve written. I love YWTAA. I wouldn’t change a word.

Helping Hand- Stevie Budd Imagine (Schitt’s Creek)

Title: Helping Hand

Pairing: Stevie Budd X Reader (platonic)

Requested: Nope

Word Count: 451 words

Warning(s): None that I know of

Summary: After Stevie became the owner of the motel, the process of the work becoming overwhelming was a quick one. What kind of friend would (Y/n) be if they didin’t offer their help?

Author’s Note: I’m officially writing for Schitt’s Creek!

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

I walked into the office with a little bit of pep in my step. I was excited to see Stevie... she was really the only person who actually seemed to enjoy my company. We were supposed to head to lunch at the cafe today but I knew that plan was going to fall apart when I got into the office.

“Stevie,” I said softly. Her head popped up from the papers kind of thrown around the small table in the office. “Woah.”

“Shit, we were gonna go to lunch today,” she mumbled. “I’m sorry, I can’t. Paperwork.”

“Being the boss is hard work,” I shrugged. Stevie sighed and looked at me, a clearly forced smile on her face. “Hey, come here.”

“No-”

“Stevie, come here.”

Reluctantly, Stevie stood from her spot and walked over to me. I pulled her into a tight hug and rubbed her back as her shoulders started to shake. She didn’t cry often, which made it even more important to me that I comforted her when she did. 

“I have an idea,” I whispered. “How about you go get some lunch and I’ll try to make some sense of this mess?”

“No,” Stevie stepped back and wiped her eyes. “You don’t have to do that. I’m fine.”

“No, you clearly aren’t, now go,” I gently pushed her towards the door before handing her some money from my wallet. “My treat.”

“I... I can’t thank you enough.”

“You don’t need to. Just go take a break.”

“Okay, okay, I’m going,” she grinned before walking out. 

I sat on the couch where she had been, “Alright, let’s sort this out.”

--Time Skip--

I was just putting the last paper on the pile when Stevie walked back into the office. Her eyes widened at the lack of a mess. 

“Alright, even though I’m not qualified to give you business advice, I’ve always been good at organizing,” I said. Stevie came over to sit next to me. “So, these little markers show deadlines. The closest deadlines are on top and I made sure all days are labeled. The sticky notes on the top show which forms reference each other. It should help you find information.”

“Oh my god,” Stevie replied quietly. I just smiled at her before she almost crushed me in a hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot tell you how much this means to me.”

“I told you, you don’t need to thank me,” I chuckled. “I just hope you feel better.”

“You’re an amazing friend,” she said, now getting emotional again.

“I know,” I shrugged jokingly before standing up. “Call me if you need any more help.”

“Thank you again.”

“What else are friends for?”

Headcanons: Alexis Rose, David Rose and Stevie Budd with a Nonbinary S/O

MASTERLIST | AO3 | KO-FI

Pride Month 2024 #7

Transmasc edition (for Alexis only)

Relationship(s): Alexis Rose x nonbinary!reader (romantic), David Rose x nonbinary!reader (romantic), Stevie Budd x nonbinary!reader (romantic)

Warnings: Typical nonbinary/trans-related stuff. (Let me know if I need to add any)

(A/N: My Schitt's Creek fics haven't performed as well as a lot of my other fics, presumably because people aren't really looking for Schitt's Creek reader-insert fanfiction. But, for my own self-indulgence, I've decided I'll keep writing for it. I have an idea for a fic where the reader is Roland and Jocelyn's (adult, obviously) kid, and they're secretly dating Stevie, because of course Stevie doesn't want to deal with Roland for as long as she can. So, if you'd be interested in reading that, please let me know!)

ALEXIS

I feel like Alexis’ past is so colourful that she must have met at least some nonbinary people in her time.

But, I feel like she hasn’t had to think too much about them before.

She’s 100% cool with it, even if she doesn’t completely get it to begin with.

You’ll probably be the first nonbinary person she becomes actually close with.

When she’s getting to know you, I can imagine her being confused about how to refer to you.

Like, when she’s complimenting your appearance, she’ll cycle through a list of slightly (and needlessly) gendered adjectives.

“Oh my God, you look so… handsome? Pretty? Which one’s right?”

But, she’s really good at using the right pronouns for you.

When Alexis starts to develop feelings for you, she’s, ever so slightly, in a state of crisis.

Not because she has anything against nonbinary people.

She’s just never been romantically attracted to one before.

It’s new, and it’s scary.

Not to mention, she knows the absolute bare minimum about nonbinary people.

She’ll go to David to learn more, because he’s dated plenty of them.

He’ll insist that she try to ask you questions if you’re open to it.

She’ll stay up late on her phone doing her own research.

And, it means so much to you when you find out.

If you do end up talking to her more about your gender, it will likely be a catalyst in bringing the two of you together, because it shows you how much she cares about understanding you.

When you finally get together, Johnny and Moira also want to get things right.

Instinctively, they’ll go to David, but, to David’s amazement, Alexis is able to answer their questions herself.

Like with any romantic partner she has, she hypes you up so much.

She does everything in her power to let you know how much she loves and supports you.

Though, as the relationship goes on, she doesn’t think much about your gender.

If you want to change your style at all, she will be more than happy to take you shopping, or browse an online clothing store with you if you’re more comfortable with that.

And, if your tastes are different, she’ll step back and make sure you stick to what makes you happy.

Schitt’s Creek is a very accepting town, but, if someone deliberately misgenders you, she’ll be the first to stand up for you, if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself.

“Um, excuse me?”

And, if you’re feeling dysphoric, she’ll try her best to make you feel better by showering you with affirming and sincere compliments.

Basically, she’s the ultimate ally to you and you feel so lucky to have her in your corner.

DAVID

This isn’t his first rodeo.

So, you don’t need to be nervous about being with him because of your gender.

He never makes a big deal of you being nonbinary, which is refreshing when so many people have no idea how to handle it.

Unlike Alexis, there’s not much for him to learn besides your personal experience with who you are and what you prefer, since it’s different for every nonbinary person.

And, as for the things he does have to learn about you, he will ask and listen.

For example, he needs to figure out if you prefer neutral, masculine and/or feminine terms and compliments.

Because, there will be a lot of compliments.

He makes sure to assure you that you can tell him if he ever gets anything wrong.

Like, I can imagine him making a minor mistake, and then you sheepishly correct him.

But, he notices how awkward you seem to find it, so he tells you that you never need to be afraid to tell him what you want/need because all he wants is to make you feel comfortable.

Johnny, Moira and Alexis realise how much you mean to David, so they’ll try their best to get things right, too, despite their lack of specialist knowledge.

When you and David get together, David will be bombarded with questions (tact varying) about you, such as how to address you and speak about you.

But, that is one of the reasonable questions that was sprinkled into the sea of utterly bizarre ones.

I can see Johnny emphatically introducing you to people as ‘[his] son’s nonbinary partner’.

It becomes a running joke between you and David.

And, I love the idea of David telling you all of the silly and charming ways his family tries to show their support of you when you’re not around.

He's absolutely dying to dress you up.

He has so many outfits planned out that'd look stunning on you (that's what he insists, anyway).

You don't have to wear any of those outfits, though, if you don't want to, since David’s sense of style can be a bit much for some people.

If you’re willing to try anything, he will be thrilled.

But, if your style choices, in clothing or haircuts, differ from what he would have chosen, he will support whatever makes you happy.

If you ever encounter anyone being shitty about your gender, he’ll encourage you to stand up for yourself, or passive-aggressively do it himself.

If you deal with dysphoria, David will be so affirming.

Like, normally he affirms you anyway.

But, when he recognises that you’re not feeling great, he will up his game.

He’ll also ask what he can do to help or what you need from him.

So, yeah- he’s unapologetically so supportive of you.

STEVIE

You’re her first nonbinary partner- congratulations!

She knows enough about nonbinary people that she is able to treat you like a regular human being.

Not being awkward about or fixating on your identity comes pretty naturally to her.

(Though, like with all of her friends, she might make the occasional deadpan quip, without being degrading, because Stevie doesn’t discriminate)

But, when you’re friends and she realises that she has feelings for you, she’s acutely aware of the fact that she doesn’t completely know the complexities of your personal identity, which she should probably know because, y’know, communication and all that.

She finds the idea of directly addressing it too awkward.

And, she’s too embarrassed to admit to you that she doesn’t know but that she’d like to know.

So, she confides in David about it, and he insists that it’d probably mean a lot to you if she opened up about her desire to understand you better.

So, she does.

She approaches you sheepishly.

And, when she’s asking you, she avoids eye contact.

You’re surprised to see her being so sincere, so you decide not to respond in the normal banter-y way you speak with her, out of fear she’ll never be sincere again.

In fact, you really appreciate her wanting to understand you better.

But, you don’t lay your gratitude on thick because you know that will scare her off, too.

She will listen to whatever you have to say, not interjecting with little remarks like she might normally whenever you’re speaking.

And, once you’re done, she’ll say a quick ‘thank you’.

And, you’ll smile and say ‘thank you, too’.

Like with Alexis, Stevie taking an interest in understanding you better is what brings you together.

Again, she doesn’t make the fact that you’re nonbinary into a big thing, and she’ll normally only acknowledge it as it comes up or with the occasional joke.

But, she knows that nonbinary people can often be treated like they’re confusing or strange, so her way of making you feel comfortable is by treating you like the regular human being that you are.

If you’re dysphoric, she’s silently terrified of making it worse, so she’ll ask you what you need from her and act accordingly.

(She may or may not ask David what to do the first time it happens when you’re dating)

She’s not like David or Alexis where she’ll be outwardly and constantly affectionate and loving with her actions and words.

But, she’ll always listen to you, whether you’re venting about a shitty interaction, or expressing any discomfort with your appearance.

Like with David, she likes to have a laugh with you whenever people are being weird or not normal about your gender (if you find it funny, of course).

And, if anyone’s an ass, she’ll roll her eyes.

Then, when you’re alone, she’ll make sure that you’re okay, and say something like, “Obviously, they’re an idiot who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”

It’s her subtle way of being affirming.
