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 2023! We hope it's off to a great start! To wrap up 2022, here are our recs from November and December, and we'd also like to give a warm rare/gen welcome to @hullomoon, our latest mod! Enjoy the recs!

–

The Best Things in Life Are Free by @icantbestill29, Alexis/Twyla, rated T, 1759 words 

SUMMARY: It's the thought that counts, right?

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is a super cute, fluffy Christmas moment between these two. Twyla's conflict over what to get Alexis for the holiday is so relatable and realistic, and the payoff of the actual gift—and Alexis' reaction!—is so worth it.

–

bigger than the whole sky by @blackandwhiteandrose, David-centric, rated M, 1201 words

SUMMARY: On the rooftop of his gallery in New York City, David and a friend get introspective (and high) about life and love.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This pre-canon slice of introspection is such a beautiful and emotional look into David’s headspace before Schitt’s Creek. It really makes you appreciate his growth throughout the show. (It does feature a canon character from another universe, but no knowledge of that show is needed.)

–

cosy by @alysiswriting, Stevie/Twyla, rated M, 100 words 

SUMMARY: Stevie deserves all the good things. And great sex.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: This is 100 words of perfect story building. It’s sultry, a little bit sweet and very cosy. Perfect for a little bedtime read.

–

A Jewelled Tapestry by jamilas_pen, David-centric, rated G, 100 words 

SUMMARY: David observes an autumnal spectacle.

Rec [hullomoon]: I love introspection and this drabble is so poetic. If you want to be reminded of a crisp autumn day and the path life has given you, I high recommend. 

–

Performance by @wearpersistencewell, Alexis & David, rated T, 182 words 

SUMMARY: David is concerned, but unsurprised, when Alexis puts on a familiar show.

Rec [hullomoon]: I love reading fics that dissect Alexis & Ted’s breakup. With David focusing on how he and Alexis both handled them in the past, it’s nice to see what’s changed.

–

Raindrops on Roses by meeshxsmith, Stevie/Twyla, rated G, 1033 words

SUMMARY: Stevie and Twyla try out for the Sound of Music.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: If there’s one thing I LOVE, it’s car conversations. And this fic has a flirty, hopeful car conversation! Twyla offering to take care of Stevie? Yes, please! Very nice.

–

Sherlock Sands and the Mystery of the Pie Thief by @sarahlevys, Gen (with background Alexis/Twyla), rated G, 609 words

SUMMARY: When Twyla Sands' pumpkin pie disappears from the table, she goes on a quest to discover the thief.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This is the insight into Twyla’s family that we all needed. Full disclosure, this slice of absolute silliness was written as a glorious gift for me, personally, but I highly recommend it to anyone who needs something to make them smile. It also now has an accompanying podfic!

–

stars by the pocketful by @anniemurphys, Alexis/Twyla, rated T, 1657 words 

SUMMARY: Twyla is Canada’s Sweetheart, a highly successful singer recording her latest album. Alexis is pop’s bad girl, invited to co-write and record a song for Twyla’s album.

Sparks fly.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I didn't know I needed Twyla as Taylor Swift until suddenly, we had it. Seriously, if you're at all a Taylor Swift fan or a Twylexis fan—bonus if you're both, of course!—this is the fic for you. It's a pitch perfect AU (pun intended!) and so much fun.

–

Hi, friends! November was a doozy for your mods, so we apologize for the delay in getting this post out to you. But we're back, and we hope everyone’s nice and cozy (and warm) and ready to read some of our favorite rare & gen SC works from September and October 2022. We know you'll enjoy them!

–

it was just a wednesday by apothecarose, Stevie/Twyla, rated T, 592 words

Summary: I only drink red wine. She remembers saying those words to David years ago, and she had been telling the truth. She'd never been attracted to another woman, which is why her feelings for Twyla slammed into her like a freight train.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: I really enjoyed this fic. It felt like a nice, warm hug of feelings. It was gentle and the whole thing is the equivalent of the ‘oh’ we love so much. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something short and sweet and full of feelings!

Some of the Things Some of the Time by @chronologicalimplosion, Stevie/David, rated G, 11,050 words

Summary: "How, um... How do you feel about... flavored wines?"

"What, like Herb Ertlinger's fruit wines?" Stevie pulls a face, obviously not having caught on yet.

David takes a deep, only-mildly-mortified breath, hoping she will. "No, like. I mean, what really is a red wine, anyways? Like, sure, it's got a different color from white, but different people like them because they taste different. So I was just wondering. Since you're a red drinker. Is it... the label, or the grapes, or... the taste? What if--I mean--you made a wine out of white grapes but you pissed off Dionysus or the scientists worked their magic or whatever and it came out tasting like a red?"

"Okay, David, I think you are vastly overestimating how picky I am about wine--and also how much I, like, know about wine? Because I know this is a metaphor but I have no idea what you're talking about."

--

A reimagining of the events of Carl's Funeral & Honeymoon (where David and Stevie talk sexuality, hook up, and break up) in which David Rose is a trans man.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I loved the original in this series, and as a sucker for David/Stevie, I was thrilled to see this new installment! I love this reinterpretation of the canon; the characterization and dialogue are so on point, I would absolutely believe that this is canon.

–

Wishing for an Endless Night by jmda4, Alexis Rose, NR, 594 words

Summary: Alexis tries to cope with the idea of leaving her family.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This short-and-sweet fic explores what’s going through Alexis’s head before she leaves for New York, and it’s really touching! It really highlights how much she grew throughout the show, which is one of my favorite parts of Schitt’s Creek.

–

The Witch of Schitt’s Creek by @tyfinn, Gen, NR, 1115 words

Summary: Roland Jr. comes to David and Patrick for help when he thinks he sees a witch.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: Something about this really reads like part of a Halloween episode of a sitcom for me — which I’m a sucker for. D/P makes a brief appearance, but the real star here is Roland Jr. It’s a funny, sweet fic about a misunderstanding so true to how kids think. I could definitely see it happening in a future episode of the show.

–

Thanks!

Hi! Gen (short for general) fics don't have any romance in them, and are purely platonic. Rare pair fics (we personally prefer 'rare ships' and not 'rare pairs,' so that the term can refer to ships including more than two people) are non-platonic or queerplatonic.

Thus, a fic that features Stevie and Twyla as best friends would be gen; a fic that features Stevie and Twyla as best friends and wives would be rare ship.

Hi, rare & gen friends!

We’re glad that the Schitt’s Creek fandom is still continuing along the path towards 10,000 works on AO3! While the rare & gen corner of the fandom has slowed a bit, we are still here for all your needs. 

Moving forward, we will be officially doing our rec posts every other month, continuing the pattern we started over the summer. We are also still taking requests for specific lists, and if you want to also give us prompts for rare or gen fics that you want to see in the world, or fics you would love to hear as podfic, let us know and we’ll do our best to circulate them among the rare and gen SC creators!

Let us know how we can help you!

We're back! Sorry for the delay while we sorted out a few IRL things. Check out some of our favorite rare & gen SC works from July and August 2022. We know you'll enjoy them!

Dedicated to the One I Love by @wearpersistencewell, Alexis/Ted, Patrick & Ted, rated T, 1081 words

Summary: Patrick helps Ted navigate his breakup with Alexis and decision to stay in the Galapagos for three years.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I love fics that look at the friendships behind the scenes, and this is no exception. I'm glad to see Ted and Patrick fleshed out more here. It makes perfect sense that Patrick could provide stability and support to Ted in Season 6.  

–

Farming podcast by Amanita_Fierce, David & Johnny, rated M, 600 words

Summary: David gives Johnny a lift and accidentally plays a little bit of his smutty audiobook farming podcast. Johnny is very helpful.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: This one made me LOL and cringe with extreme second hand embarrassment. I could just feel David’s humiliation and like, Johnny never makes situations like this better. It really feels like them. It’s a fun, quick read that will definitely have you laughing.  

–

Fluff and Fold by @brrose-apothecary, Davie & Stevie, rated T, 1785 words

Summary: Stevie has a secret she’s never shared with anyone: she’s not always playing solitaire behind that desk. David finds out and Stevie submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is such an inspired secret for Stevie (of course she writes sexy fic, and of course she writes it at work) and the banter between Stevie and David after he finds out is an absolute blast to read!

–

Happy Hour is Here by @weathereyehorizon, Stevie & Patrick, rated G, 1190 words

Summary: 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.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: i LOVE a good friendship fic, and will gobble up everything and anything that has Stevie and Patrick becoming besties. I loved this little look into them becoming friends. Stevie is observant and the perfect BFF to David, and teases Patrick just enough, even though they don’t know each other well yet. I loved it and highly recommend. 

–

if only i could have a puppy by @hullomoon, David & Stevie, rated T, 1626 words

Summary: After adopting a dog David notices an error on the adoption papers. Of course, everyone in town has an opinion about that.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is so funny and adorable. I love the idea of David getting a puppy pal early on in the SC timeline, and everyone's opinions on his new dog (and the dog's name!) are so spot-on. 

–

[Art] kindred spirits by angelandfaith, Stevie, Twyla, April Ludgate, rated G

Summary: April's pretty sure there are vegetables in her smoothie. Gross.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is such a cute piece of fanart—and an inspired crossover to boot! I love the idea of April hanging out with Stevie and Twyla… I'm sure they'd have some wild conversations 😁

–

Ranked, Filed by steviesflannel, David/Stevie, rated E, 1328 words

Summary: David is cataloguing Stevie. On a slow night in the Honeymoon Suite, he discovers something new.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: Did you hear that? It’s my incoherent squealing upon reading this fic. It’s such a soft, funny, sexy look into one of David and Stevie’s relationship in S1. It’s so sweet and kept me smiling the whole way through. I love these emotionally stunted, ticklish idiots so very much!

–

Sunrise in our eyes by @hullomoon, Rachel/Stevie, rated T, 471

Summary: Rachel has a little morning treat for Stevie.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This piece is short & sweet… in more than one way! It’s two of my favorite ladies, love confessions, and no-bake cookies. What’s not to love?

–

[Podfic] The Guestbook of David and Patrick Rose-Brewer by Amanita_Fierce, B13-maybethistime, cottagepodfics, Djapchan, @godoflaundrybaskets, HowOldAreWe, @n0connections, @petalwritesx, poddingthemost, roseszain, @schittposting, @thesleepyskipper, @landofsonlali, @sunlightsymphony, @sweatersinthesummer, @whetherwoman, wi22iou, DevilWithABirdDress, everyone!, rated T, 9:02

Summary: “A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with.” — The House in the Cerulean Sea

A look through the entries in David and Patrick's wedding guestbook

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I loved the original fic by @landofsonlali, and this is such a fun reimagining of it! Everyone's voices are a delight to listen to. Both the fic and the pod are a great way to honor all of the Schitt's Creek characters we love so much.

–

This is the miracle that I've been dreaming of by @hippolotamus, Alexis/Twyla, rated G, 830 words

Summary: “Oh,” she says softly, wondering if she’s making a mistake. Standing in the middle of the café, among the cracked vinyl booths and oversized menus, the romantic notion she had in her mind is replaced with anxiety and doubt. She’s spinning on her heel to leave when she hears it.

“Alexis!” comes the sunny voice she would know anywhere by now, followed by a warm hand circling her wrist.

She turns to see Twyla, still looking sleepy, with traces of yesterday's makeup on her face. “Twyla,” Alexis swallows, nervous. “Hi.”

Twyla scrunches her nose, never losing her rosy smile. “Is… everything okay?”

“Yeah! Yes!” Alexis sucks in a breath. “I… last night was real. Right?”

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is such a soft, tender little moment between these two! I love reading about all the different ways that these two could get together after the show's end, and this is one perfect imagining of how it could happen.

–
