On the Outside Looking Through by lonely_ampersand (@smblmn)

[Patrick/David - NR - 56,577]

Alexis choses that moment to wave enthusiastically in their direction, apparently ready for them to meet her new acquaintances, so David sighs and stands up from the bench, taking Stevie’s hand to lift her up too. The whole group turns to look at them then and David can see the moment the accountant –as he is calling him in his head, because ‘very nice ass’ somehow sounds worse– looks at David and their gazes meet. David’s stomach plummets to the ground at the immediate change in his demeanor. The man goes from relaxed and carefree to tense and annoyed? –Is it annoyance what David sees in his face?– in the span of two seconds. He drops the arm he has over the cute redhead’s shoulders and looks at the floor.

What the fuck has just happened?

A pride & prejudice AU

The Enchantment Umbrage by KHughes830, railmedaddy

[David/Patrick - E - 25,361]

The prompt: David Rose has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. When the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Patrick Brewer as its star.

Patrick doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. But they begin to open up to each other, and Patrick realizes he has better chemistry with David than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

From the book blurb for The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochran, which just has a wonderful David and Patrick vibe to it.

*

you never shined so brightly by @rosedavid

[David/Patrick - T - 23,226]

Large, broad hands with silver-ringed fingers stroke at the keys in a blur. Patrick’s eyes trace up the hunched over curve of his spine, clad in a black suit that blends in with the dark ambiance of the room. The man’s lips are parted slightly as he plays, full body leaning into each chord progression.

Patrick’s heart crescendos in his chest at the same time as the melody.

OR

A La La Land AU in which Patrick is the aspiring actor and David is the struggling musician.

Stab: The Elmsboro Murders by @dinnfameron

[David/Patrick - M - 7,487]

Someone in Elmsboro is terrorizing teens. Finally, the story that journalist David Rose can use to get his big break. If only deputy sheriff Patrick Brewer would answer his questions instead of blocking him at every turn and distracting him with those big, dumb, earnest eyes of his.

always and forever, twyla sands by @lilythesilly

[Alexis/Twyla - NR - 4,896]

Twyla hasn’t spoken to Alexis Rose in years. Not since she kissed her during a game of spin the bottle in seventh grade, effectively ruining their friendship.

Since then it’s been passive aggressive comments in the hallway over her blouses and disdainful glances in between classes.

Well, except for now.

Because right now, Alexis is standing in front of her, with a confused wide-eyed expression that reminds Twyla of her seventh grade crush on her former best friend. And in her hands is an envelope —

A soft pink envelope covered in Hello Kitty stickers with Alexis’s name written on it in glitter gel pen.

Oh god.

Twyla’s gonna faint.

The Kiss That Kills by iola17 (@beaiola)

[David/Patrick - T - 4,074]

When Patrick asks out his long term crush, his best friend David is there to listen to him talk through the details and, when certain doubts emerge, offer some help of his own. Patrick's reaction to David's assistance leads to some surprising revelations.

Written for the SC Media Fest and inspired by the movie Some Kind of Wonderful.

Stardust by Demora00

[David/Patrick - NR - 3,141]

Patrick had just about finished packing his desk; the movers were coming in a few days to bring the contents of the apartment to the cottage. He picked up the rogue books on the bottom shelf of his nightstand then went over to David’s side to do the same, adding the small stack of personal journals David had to his pile. As he turned to the box sitting on his desk, the top journal slipped, weathered spine opening on impact. Placing the remaining tomes in the box, he reached over to retrieve it when he recognized the poem on a taped piece of paper. His fingers grazed the page, heartstrings pulling.

[Podfic] You Can Still Be Free by HowOldAreWe

There were certainly prescient hints about David’s obligation to follow all commands given to him. For one, his own irritability over wanting to say no sometimes but seemingly being unable to do so.

vroom vroom, bitches by @blueink3

[David/Patrick - M - 30,859]

It’s Friday, for fuck’s sake. David did not have ‘death’ on the agenda for today.

But here he is, on a bus, attempting to steer this twin-axle six-wheeler despite lacking a valid regular license, let alone a commercial one, because to add insult to severe injury, the driver’s been fucking shot and if the speedometer drops below 80 kilometers per hour, said bus will explode.

Because some idiot decided to go ahead and put a bomb on it.

Or, the Speed AU that at least one of you asked for.

> Missing: Priceless Crocodile Bag and Children

> Valuable family heirloom subject of devious thievery. Reward available in exchange for safe return. Also missing, Davis and Alex Rose. If seen, call Moira’s Rose’s Phone 4856.

David is fed up with being ignored by his parents, so he decides to run away from home to the most beautiful place that he can think of (that doesn't require stealing his parents' private jet). His little sister, Alexis, joins him as they decide to secretly take up residence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

like a streak of light by @lilythesilly

[Alexis/Twyla - M - 5,149]

Police are seeking information on the masked vigilante after the Police Chief of New York issued an arrest warrant on her just one week ago.

Not much is known about the newly minted Spider Woman, except for the videos posted online and shown on the local news saving people from death-defying events by swinging from building to building before disappearing into the night, although she has been known to pose for the occasional selfie if you stumble upon her in an abandoned alley (which we do not recommend, because crime).

Contrary to the opinion of the police, locals see Spider Woman as a hero, even more so after last night when she saved no less than a dozen people when what looks like a giant lizard stopped traffic on the Manhattan Bridge and tore through cars—like it was looking for something—before disappearing into the sewers.

Spider Woman, wherever you are, we hope you’re having an amazing day, sweetie.

Listen to this,” Patrick says, and David closes his sketchbook without hesitating. He shifts only enough to set it back on the nightstand and then turns his attention to Patrick, curling up against him and resting his head on his shoulder. Patrick slips his fingers through David’s hair as he begins to read.

The Way to go Home by @obsessedwithdavrick

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 15,489]

Patrick Brewer doesn't understand how other people are happy. He followed the steps that other people take to be happy and yet somehow... He just can't shake the malaise of his tick the box life.

Backpacking through Europe seems like a good way to court excitement and to find himself. However, he is feeling stuck and alone until his path crosses that of the most enigmatic man he's ever met, David Rose, and the pieces of his life that didn't make sense, start to fall into place.

A story about finding yourself in places you never expected.

"From the woman having a loud argument in front of him, to the guy across the aisle stinking out the place with his sandwich, the bus is a nightmare. Unfortunately, it's one David is stuck with until he gets his license back.

The guy chasing the bus down is a welcome diversion from the tedium - kind of cute too - until they hear what he has to say.

A bomb on the bus... David didn't see that one coming.

Never Been Kissed (by a boy) by @sweatersinthesummer

[David/Patrick - T - 5,064]

Patrick Brewer was not a college student. At one point he had been, though. Graduated with a degree and everything. Patrick Brewer was a journalist. Well, a copy editor, really, with writing aspirations. He had been at the paper for six years, and this was the first assignment he’d ever had. At the ripe old age of 28, he was going undercover to investigate allegations of cheating by members of the baseball team. Since he was the only member on staff with any experience playing baseball, he was given the story.

Prompt: Patrick, an ambitious, smart, albeit nerdy junior editor for the Toronto Star is given a rare opportunity-- his first ever Op-Ed, going undercover at Elmdale Community College as a student. His job is to join the baseball team and learn about the recent controversy [author's choice]. But while he's there, taking a mandatory humanities credit, he meets David Rose. As ECC's newest, and youngest, fine arts teacher.

I'm surprised (that you've never been told before) by iola17 (@beaiola)

[David/Patrick, Alexis/Ted - T - 32,646]

When his friend Ted asks Patrick for a favour, he knows it isn't the type of thing he should agree to. After all, asking out a guy so your friend can date his sister isn't the most morally sound of choices.

But Ted's his best friend. And he's been crazy about Alexis Rose since the first time he saw her.

It helps that the brother is David Rose and David Rose is... intriguing. Even if he seems to want nothing to do with Patrick.

wish i was the moon tonight by @stereopticons

[David/Patrick - T - 7,102]

David begrudgingly accepts that if there’s no option for pharmaceutical intervention, maybe this stupid Calm app is his best next choice. Ted never needs to know that David took his suggestion. He skips over the guided meditation options; he tried meditation in New York and found it impossible to not engage with every thought that crossed his mind. The sleep stories, though, sound not promising, exactly, but reasonable enough.

David suffers from insomnia after moving to Schitt's Creek and turns to the sleep stories on Calm to help him fall asleep. Brewer's Baseball History is the only thing that helps, but what happens when the voice behind those stories shows up in town?

"I think her name is Noelle."

"Hm?" Stevie grunted around her slushie straw, tipping her head at David in question.

"The new girl," he clarified, and Stevie tore her eyes away from the unfolding scene in front of her to give him an affronted look. "I heard someone call her that yesterday."

"Why would I care what some asshole prep's name is?" Stevie stirred her slushie aggressively – she'd taken a chance on the cafeteria's new flavour and was not impressed.

David snorted. "I don't know, maybe because you've been staring at her like a starving dog."

Stevie flipped him the bird and stole a french fry from his tray.

"Catwoman glances down for a second, her eyes popping wide at her precarious position, then back up at her savior. She remarks, with a rueful shake of her head, “Guess I was wrong about you catching me.”

Twyla tugs the other woman up with her forearm. “Come on. Don’t struggle or you’ll fall.”

"They each pick a little plastic child to be their token in the game, and Patrick offers to explain the rules, but Alexis waves him off, grabbing a card from the pile. There’s a loud pop as she does so and then… pink smoke? Then a sweet smell, like cotton candy, or bubble gum, maybe, and for a moment, David can’t see anything.

“Um. Was that supposed to happen?” he hears Alexis say, followed closely by Stevie muttering, “What the fuck?” As the smoke clears, David has to agree with her, because, seriously, what the fuck?

please tell me I won't wash away by @petalwritesx

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 2,398]

“Really? This is where you want to do this?”

“I thought we should end this where it started,” Patrick says, and David tries to ignore the bile that rises in his throat at the words ‘end this,’ being said so casually. “It’s a full circle moment for us. Literally.”

David follows Patrick’s gaze to the ferris wheel that towers above them, colorful buckets swaying as they slowly rotate over the pier — full circle indeed. Once upon a time, David wouldn’t have set foot on this boardwalk, much less taken a ride on that death trap, but… It’s only the first item on a laundry list of things he’s done simply because Patrick Brewer asked him to. Ironically, it’s also the last item that brings them here today.

David sighs. “We’re here to sign divorce papers,” he reminds him.

Or — On the day they're scheduled to sign their divorce papers, Patrick brings David to the place their relationship began: the ferris wheel at the Santa Monica Pier. He's secretly hoping they'll be given a sign, but a literal tsunami is a bit more than either of them bargained for."

Maybe you've never seen any of my movies. Maybe you think I'm washed up, someone only your parents care about. Maybe you think I'm irrelevant. Maybe you think I'm a whore.

Oh, don't duck your head. I guarantee you're not the first person to ever let that idea enter your mind, and you won't be the last.

On the Outside Looking Through

[Patrick/David - NR - 56,577]

Alexis choses that moment to wave enthusiastically in their direction, apparently ready for them to meet her new acquaintances, so David sighs and stands up from the bench, taking Stevie’s hand to lift her up too. The whole group turns to look at them then and David can see the moment the accountant –as he is calling him in his head, because ‘very nice ass’ somehow sounds worse– looks at David and their gazes meet. David’s stomach plummets to the ground at the immediate change in his demeanor. The man goes from relaxed and carefree to tense and annoyed? –Is it annoyance what David sees in his face?– in the span of two seconds. He drops the arm he has over the cute redhead’s shoulders and looks at the floor.

The Enchantment Umbrage

[David/Patrick - E - 25,361]

The prompt: David Rose has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. When the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Patrick Brewer as its star.

Patrick doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. But they begin to open up to each other, and Patrick realizes he has better chemistry with David than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

From the book blurb for The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochran, which just has a wonderful David and Patrick vibe to it.

*🎵*

you never shined so brightly

[David/Patrick - T - 23,226]

Large, broad hands with silver-ringed fingers stroke at the keys in a blur. Patrick’s eyes trace up the hunched over curve of his spine, clad in a black suit that blends in with the dark ambiance of the room. The man’s lips are parted slightly as he plays, full body leaning into each chord progression.

Patrick’s heart crescendos in his chest at the same time as the melody.

OR

A La La Land AU in which Patrick is the aspiring actor and David is the struggling musician.

*🎵*

Stab: The Elmsboro Murders

[David/Patrick - M - 7,487]

Someone in Elmsboro is terrorizing teens. Finally, the story that journalist David Rose can use to get his big break. If only deputy sheriff Patrick Brewer would answer his questions instead of blocking him at every turn and distracting him with those big, dumb, earnest eyes of his.

*🎵*

always and forever, twyla sands

[Alexis/Twyla - NR - 4,896]

Twyla hasn’t spoken to Alexis Rose in years. Not since she kissed her during a game of spin the bottle in seventh grade, effectively ruining their friendship.

Since then it’s been passive aggressive comments in the hallway over her blouses and disdainful glances in between classes.

Well, except for now.

Because right now, Alexis is standing in front of her, with a confused wide-eyed expression that reminds Twyla of her seventh grade crush on her former best friend. And in her hands is an envelope —

A soft pink envelope covered in Hello Kitty stickers with Alexis’s name written on it in glitter gel pen.

Oh god.

Twyla’s gonna faint.

Or To All the Boys I've Loved Before the Twylexis Remix

*🎵*

canned heat in my heels tonight

[Alexis/Twyla - T - 4,130]

@Karen666: I've been watching #DWTS for decades. It has always been family-friendly entertainment. And just like the Biden Administration has ruined everything else, now they and the liberal media have ruined #DWTS!!

@BootyfulBecca: @DancingABC @LilBitAlexis @TwirlingTwyla WHAT'S THE TEAM HASHTAG OMG??

@DancingABC: @BootyfulBecca #LilBitTwylexis is what you're looking for!

The internet has a lot to say about Alexis Rose and Twyla Sands, the first same-sex dance couple on Dancing With The Stars.

*🎵* 

The Kiss That Kills

[David/Patrick - T - 4,074]

When Patrick asks out his long term crush, his best friend David is there to listen to him talk through the details and, when certain doubts emerge, offer some help of his own. Patrick's reaction to David's assistance leads to some surprising revelations.

Written for the SC Media Fest and inspired by the movie Some Kind of Wonderful.

*🎵*

got a knack for burning bridges down

[Alexis/Stevie - T - 3,794]

Stevie Budd is a private investigator and reluctant superhero. Alexis Rose is her childhood best friend and newly powered. They have their issues, but find themselves working a case together.

Inspired by Marvel's Jessica Jones series

*🎵*

Stardust

[David/Patrick - NR - 3,141]

Patrick had just about finished packing his desk; the movers were coming in a few days to bring the contents of the apartment to the cottage. He picked up the rogue books on the bottom shelf of his nightstand then went over to David’s side to do the same, adding the small stack of personal journals David had to his pile. As he turned to the box sitting on his desk, the top journal slipped, weathered spine opening on impact. Placing the remaining tomes in the box, he reached over to retrieve it when he recognized the poem on a taped piece of paper. His fingers grazed the page, heartstrings pulling.

*🎵*

Into your heart I'll beat again

[David/Patrick - M - 1,695]

Patrick is inspired to add a song to their wedding reception playlist without David's approval.

Patrick wants to tell David all about how it makes him feel.

*🎵*

[Podfic] You Can Still Be Free

[David/Patrick - E - 03h:03m:31:s]

There were certainly prescient hints about David’s obligation to follow all commands given to him. For one, his own irritability over wanting to say no sometimes but seemingly being unable to do so.

A modern-day AU in which David is cursed to follow any command he’s given, and the stark, rippling consequences of such a burden. Inspired by Ella Enchanted.

*🎵* 

Happy Sunday! Today, we’re sharing some works you just won’t be able to put down. From baby books and The Alchemist to car chases and superheroes — these fics got it all!

vroom vroom, bitches

[David/Patrick - M - 30,859]

It’s Friday, for fuck’s sake. David did not have ‘death’ on the agenda for today.

But here he is, on a bus, attempting to steer this twin-axle six-wheeler despite lacking a valid regular license, let alone a commercial one, because to add insult to severe injury, the driver’s been fucking shot and if the speedometer drops below 80 kilometers per hour, said bus will explode.

Because some idiot decided to go ahead and put a bomb on it.

Or, the Speed AU that at least one of you asked for.

*📚*

there's no such thing

[David/Patrick - T - 19,226]

When David Rose was a child, he had an imaginary friend called Patrick.

aka the Monsters, Inc. AU that I asked myself for.

*📚*

There's Never Only One Bed

[David/Patrick - E - 7,462]

'Where do you keep getting these ideas?” “What ideas?” “These ideas in the bedroom. I’ve never been with a partner who's tried all these things with me."

David and Patrick's relationship evolves beyond friendship as they bond over David's favorite guilty pleasure show and Patrick decides to spice up their love live with ideas he gets from the fanfic written about it.

A 5+1 about how fanfic inspires them to try new things in their relationship.

*📚*

From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Bathilda E. Schitt

[Alexis & David - G - 6,212]

Missing: Priceless Crocodile Bag and Children

Valuable family heirloom subject of devious thievery. Reward available in exchange for safe return. Also missing, Davis and Alex Rose. If seen, call Moira’s Rose’s Phone 4856.

David is fed up with being ignored by his parents, so he decides to run away from home to the most beautiful place that he can think of (that doesn't require stealing his parents' private jet). His little sister, Alexis, joins him as they decide to secretly take up residence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Inspired by From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

like a streak of light

[Alexis/Twyla - M - 5,149]

Police are seeking information on the masked vigilante after the Police Chief of New York issued an arrest warrant on her just one week ago.

Not much is known about the newly minted Spider Woman, except for the videos posted online and shown on the local news saving people from death-defying events by swinging from building to building before disappearing into the night, although she has been known to pose for the occasional selfie if you stumble upon her in an abandoned alley (which we do not recommend, because crime).

Contrary to the opinion of the police, locals see Spider Woman as a hero, even more so after last night when she saved no less than a dozen people when what looks like a giant lizard stopped traffic on the Manhattan Bridge and tore through cars—like it was looking for something—before disappearing into the sewers.

Spider Woman, wherever you are, we hope you’re having an amazing day, sweetie.

or, Alexis Rose gets bitten by a radioactive spider.

*📚* 

And Feed Them On Your Dreams

[David/Patrick, Alexis & David - G - 2,603]

David is throwing a baby shower for a friend, but this time he actually wants to. He and several friends choose books to gift to the new baby.

*📚*

This is an angry break up song, right?

[Alexis/Ted, Alexis/Twyla/Ted, Ruth/Stevie - G - 1,533]

Ted convinces Twyla and Alexis to watch the Witcher....and very quickly regrets it when one particular song becomes the focus of a debate.

*📚*

[Podfic] Always Kiss Me Goodnight

[David/Patrick - M - 07m:27s]

Listen to this,” Patrick says, and David closes his sketchbook without hesitating. He shifts only enough to set it back on the nightstand and then turns his attention to Patrick, curling up against him and resting his head on his shoulder. Patrick slips his fingers through David’s hair as he begins to read.

*📚*

[Vid] I'll Be There For You

[David/Patrick, Alexis & Twyla, David & Stevie - G - 00m:46s]

The one where they lived in Schitt's Creek.

I See Colors When I Hear Your Voice

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 22,472]

Or:

A Pleasantville AU

*📽️*

Say You Won't Let Go

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Alexis Rose/Ted Mullens (mentioned), Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy (Mentioned) - E - 15,531]

A love story told in 3 parts.

Inspired by James Arthur’s song Say You Won’t Let Go

*📽️*

The Way to go Home

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 15,489]

Patrick Brewer doesn't understand how other people are happy. He followed the steps that other people take to be happy and yet somehow... He just can't shake the malaise of his tick the box life.

Backpacking through Europe seems like a good way to court excitement and to find himself. However, he is feeling stuck and alone until his path crosses that of the most enigmatic man he's ever met, David Rose, and the pieces of his life that didn't make sense, start to fall into place.

A story about finding yourself in places you never expected.

*📽️*

Switching Gears

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - T - 7,307]

"From the woman having a loud argument in front of him, to the guy across the aisle stinking out the place with his sandwich, the bus is a nightmare. Unfortunately, it's one David is stuck with until he gets his license back.

The guy chasing the bus down is a welcome diversion from the tedium - kind of cute too - until they hear what he has to say.

A bomb on the bus... David didn't see that one coming.

Speed AU

*📽️*

you're the one thing (i can't get enough of)

[Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands - T - 6,226]

“Hey, Twy? Remember how you took that lift out of the routine because you said we didn’t have enough time to practice?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Well…what if we practiced now?”

Dirty Dancing, but make it Twylexis.

*📽️*

These Are The Voyages

[Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy - T - 5,815]

"Oh God," was Ruth's groaned response. "I was hoping we'd be further into our relationship before you discovered the depths of my obsession."

**

Ruth introduces Stevie to Star Trek.

*📽️*

Never Been Kissed (by a boy)

[David/Patrick - T - 5,064]

Patrick Brewer was not a college student. At one point he had been, though. Graduated with a degree and everything. Patrick Brewer was a journalist. Well, a copy editor, really, with writing aspirations. He had been at the paper for six years, and this was the first assignment he’d ever had. At the ripe old age of 28, he was going undercover to investigate allegations of cheating by members of the baseball team. Since he was the only member on staff with any experience playing baseball, he was given the story.

Prompt: Patrick, an ambitious, smart, albeit nerdy junior editor for the Toronto Star is given a rare opportunity-- his first ever Op-Ed, going undercover at Elmdale Community College as a student. His job is to join the baseball team and learn about the recent controversy [author's choice]. But while he's there, taking a mandatory humanities credit, he meets David Rose. As ECC's newest, and youngest, fine arts teacher.

[Podfic] Switching Gears

HAPPY FRIDAY! Today's release drop brings several works of art that are larger than life and an absolute treat for your eyes and ears! If you’re following along with the daily releases and want to track your progress, you can find the latest updates in this Google Sheet!

I'm surprised (that you've never been told before)

[David/Patrick, Alexis/Ted - T - 32,646]

When his friend Ted asks Patrick for a favour, he knows it isn't the type of thing he should agree to. After all, asking out a guy so your friend can date his sister isn't the most morally sound of choices.

But Ted's his best friend. And he's been crazy about Alexis Rose since the first time he saw her.

It helps that the brother is David Rose and David Rose is... intriguing. Even if he seems to want nothing to do with Patrick.

10 Things I Hate About You AU

Two Tears in a Bucket

[David/Patrick, David/Sebastien - E - 24,023]

“Well, I guess it’s just like my mama always said. ‘Two tears in a bucket. Motherfuck it.’”

- The Lady Chablis

Patrick Brewer is in Savannah for three days, covering David Rose's legendary Ides of March Gala. At least, that's the plan until he finds himself entangled in a messy murder investigation and head over heels for the man who pulled the trigger.

*🎨*

wish i was the moon tonight

[David/Patrick - T - 7,102]

David begrudgingly accepts that if there’s no option for pharmaceutical intervention, maybe this stupid Calm app is his best next choice. Ted never needs to know that David took his suggestion. He skips over the guided meditation options; he tried meditation in New York and found it impossible to not engage with every thought that crossed his mind. The sleep stories, though, sound not promising, exactly, but reasonable enough.

David suffers from insomnia after moving to Schitt's Creek and turns to the sleep stories on Calm to help him fall asleep. Brewer's Baseball History is the only thing that helps, but what happens when the voice behind those stories shows up in town?

*🎨*

teenage dirtbag(s)

[Ruth/Stevie - T - 6,055]

"I think her name is Noelle."

"Hm?" Stevie grunted around her slushie straw, tipping her head at David in question.

"The new girl," he clarified, and Stevie tore her eyes away from the unfolding scene in front of her to give him an affronted look. "I heard someone call her that yesterday."

"Why would I care what some asshole prep's name is?" Stevie stirred her slushie aggressively – she'd taken a chance on the cafeteria's new flavour and was not impressed.

David snorted. "I don't know, maybe because you've been staring at her like a starving dog."

Stevie flipped him the bird and stole a french fry from his tray.

**

A sapphic Schitt's Creek High School AU of Teenage Dirtbag.

*🎨*

Once More With Feeling

[David/Patrick, Alexis/Ted, Stevie/Twyla - T - 5,107]

When a musical spell is cast over the residents of Schitt's Creek, Patrick the Vampire Slayer and his friends are forced to reveal truths and feelings that they have carefully kept hidden to each other.

*🎨*

Selling Schitt's Creek

[Alexis/Twyla, Ruth/Stevie - T - 4,547]

The elite agents at The Butani Group sell the rural Ontario life to buyers in the Schitt’s Creek and greater Elmdale area. Relationships are everything, and that often means major drama.

Inspired by the Netflix series, Selling Sunset.

[podfic] and by tomorrow i'll be on my way
