It's You (Supercorp)

by marinawolf

The poll has spoken! Here it is- the angsty Supercorp fic (with a little bit of action and plot- it's a little long, sorry. I was gonna do two parts but that just complicates things so it's alllll here.)

Lena finds out after Lex decides to play a cruel game. (Filled with angst, betrayal, yearning etc etc. First kiss.)

3k words

The moon hung low in the inky sky, casting a haunting glow on National City. On the rooftop of the L Corp building, Kara lingered in the shadows, a solitary figure with a completely useless glass of champagne clutched in her hands, her eyes fixated on Lena. Oh, how she longed for the oblivion of intoxication. It would make things so much easier.

Kara sighed, taking a pointless sip from her champagne flute, the bubbles tickling her throat. The cool breeze ruffled her hair as she watched Lena. The world was enchanted by Lena Luthor, and Kara was no exception. She was everything - brilliant, brave, kind and beautiful. So so beautiful that Kara sometimes forgot how to breathe around her. Kara's fingers traced the rim of her champagne glass and she tried to tear her eyes away from Lena, a futile attempt to distract herself from the ache in her chest.

But unable to resist, Kara's gaze lingered on Lena's face, tracing the delicate curve of her smile and the sparkle in her eyes. She watched as Lena moved through the crowd, a vision in a black dress that sparkled in the moonlight, as if there were constellations wrapped around her body. The air seemed charged with an energy that only Kara felt, her super senses attuned to every detail. Lena's laughter, her heartbeat, the subtle shifts in her expressions - all of it was amplified for Kara. She could feel the familiar tug at her heart. Lena seemed so close yet so impossibly far away. The desire to confess, to bare her soul to Lena, burned within Kara. But the fear of rejection, of losing the one person who had come to mean everything to her, kept her rooted in silence. The irony wasn't lost on her - Supergirl, capable of facing the most formidable foes, was paralyzed by the mere thought of losing Lena.

A bitter taste lingered on Kara's tongue as she took another sip, futilely attempting to drown her emotions. If only she could find the courage to tell Lena the truth - that she was Supergirl, and that she was hopelessly and desperately in love with her.

Almost as if sensing Kara's gaze on her, Lena's eyes flickered toward hers and the most breathtaking smile formed on her face, causing Kara's heart to stop for a moment. Rao, those eyes. Kryptonite had nothing on those eyes, and when Kara looked into them, she could see her life unfolding in those shades of green.

Lena immediately made her way towards Kara, her arms already outstretched for a hug that felt like home.

"You look gorgeous, Lena", Kara whispered against Lena's neck, and she could swear that she heard Lena's breath catch.

As they parted, Lena's hand found Kara's wrist, "Why are you hiding in the corner? Come with me," Lena urged, gently tugging Kara towards the bustling crowd.

It was the last place she wanted to be but Kara couldn't say no. With a silent nod, she let Lena guide her, knowing that wherever Lena went, she would willingly follow.

"You okay?"

Kara blinked back to the present as Lena's concerned voice cut through the monotonous corporate chatter. She had zoned out as a man they were talking to droned on about his company. For some reason, she was finding it harder to stifle her feelings for Lena tonight and found herself spiralling, her thoughts running wild.

"Hm? Oh, yes, I am. Why?"

"You just seem out of it tonight. Do you want to leave? I'll just say my goodbyes, and we can get out of here," Lena suggested, her concern evident in her eyes.

Kara smiled at Lena, a warmth budding in her chest. Lena would totally leave her own event to take Kara home if Kara asked her to. She was that wonderful of a friend. They would probably end up at Lena's apartment, drinking wine and watching movies until Lena passed out, cuddled into Kara's side, making it so that Kara couldn't leave. And Kara would allow herself the indulgence- she would wrap her arms around Lena and close her eyes, and pretend that this was something else- something more. She allowed herself those moments of fantasy. And when they woke up entangled in each other the next morning, they would laugh it off, blaming it on the wine.

But no. Lena needed to be here. It was her event, after all and Kara needed to get some space anyway, and maybe some proper alien alcohol from her stash at home.

"You can't leave, Lena," she laughed, "but I think I am a bit tired. So I'm gonna go, okay?"

Lena's frowned, her gaze meeting Kara's, something indiscernible flickering within her eyes.

"Kara," Lena began, her voice holding a note of urgency, yet before she could continue, a sudden, deafening bang echoed through the air. Kara's eyes shot upward, shock and awe registering on her face as the night sky seemingly exploded around them.

Fire rained down on the rooftop and instinctively, Kara moved to take action, but before she could, Lena's arms enveloped her protectively, attempting to shield her from the fire and debris. It was a moment where the absurdity almost made Kara want to laugh. She felt momentarily frozen. Yet, she knew she couldn't remain passive. She had to save Lena. She had to save everyone.

A second explosion jolted the rooftop, causing Lena to lose her balance and her grip on Kara to falter. Taking the opportunity, Kara broke away from Lena and ducked into a corner, returning immediately as Supergirl.

Her first instinct was to ensure Lena's safety, and she grabbed her and lifted her off the rooftop, intending to carry her away from the looming danger. However, Lena resisted fiercely, fighting against Kara's hold, her frantic eyes scanning the rooftop.

"No!" Lena screamed, her voice fraught with desperation. "Kara is still there. I need to get Kara."

The plea reverberated through the night, casting a heavy shadow on Kara's heart.

"I'll find Kara. Don't worry," Kara reassured, her voice strained with the weight of deception.

She could see the anguish and worry in Lena's eyes, a reflection of deep concern that extended beyond the immediate danger. The worry was for her, for Kara, and as Kara soared back into the night sky, leaving Lena on the ground, the burden of keeping her identity hidden, of denying the depth of her feelings, felt like it could pull her down.

Kara cleared the rest of the guests off the rooftop swiftly and returned alone, hovering over it, scanning for the source of the explosion. To her surprise, there was none. It was as if the night had imploded onto itself, as if the air itself had ignited. The absence of a visible threat left Kara unsettled- this wasn't meant to cause any harm. A sense of foreboding washed over her as realization struck—this must have been some sort of diversion.

Panic gripped Kara's mind, and a single name echoed through her thoughts. There was only one person who would cause chaos at an L Corp event, and that meant one thing—Lena was in danger.

Racing back to where she left Lena, Kara found no-one there. In the place where Lena should have been waiting for her, a small white card had been placed on the ground.

Kara reached for the card, her hands trembling.

You are cordially invited to the Luthor family reunion.

The air became heavy with the worst kind of fear, and as Kara clenched the card in her trembling hands, a desperate scream threatened to escape her lips. Where did he take Lena?

At the DEO, Kara's anxiety echoed through the room as she paced, the worry etched on her face. Frustration, fear and desperation boiled within her.

"Why can't we find her?" She shouted, her anger bouncing around the room, shocking the agents around her.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, and turned to see Alex, a concerned look on her face,

"Lex is very good at hiding, Kara. We're doing the best we can. We will find her," she reassured, though the words did little to quell Kara's mounting panic.

Kara felt a surge of helplessness, a burning desire to do whatever it took to locate Lena, even if it meant tearing the whole world apart and yet all she could do was uselessly wait around for a lead.

Just as she approached a point of no return, Winn's voice called out,

"I think I have something," he announced, drawing everyone's attention. "I hijacked city cams and ran facial recognition. Traffic cameras picked up Lena's face outside an abandoned warehouse. There's someone with her."

Kara's heart skipped a beat, hope coursing through her veins.

"Where is it?" she demanded, desperation edging her voice.

As Winn relayed the address, Alex grabbed her arm,

"Wait, Kara. Let us prep a team to go with you. It's probably a trap. You can't go in alone."

Kara's resolve hardened, her gaze steely with determination.

"I don't care, Alex. It's Lena."

With those words hanging in the air, she broke free from Alex's grasp and bolted from the DEO, propelled by the determination to rescue the woman she couldn't live without.

Kara reached the warehouse and effortlessly tore through the heavy iron doors. Her determined advance faltered as she took in the scene before her—Lex Luthor, armed and wearing a manic smile, stood with a gun pointed at Lena who, to Kara's relief, looked unharmed. Kara couldn't bare to see the terrified look on Lena's face, but she knew that if she let herself give in to the fear, she would never get them out alive.

"Ah, Supergirl, you made it!" he grinned, reveling in the chaos. "Look, sister, our guest of honor has arrived. Now we can start."

Kara moved towards Lena, but before she could reach her, Lex grabbed Lena and pressed his gun to her head.

"Nuh uh, Supergirl," he tutted, "You don't want your best friend to get hurt, now do you?"

Kara felt a chill creeping over her as she stood paralyzed.

"What do you want?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the panic surging through her, "Me? I'm here—let her go, Lex."

Lex laughed. "Oh, Supergirl. Where's the fun in that? Let you sacrifice yourself and be the hero again? No. No, this time we're going to play a little game."

He retrieved a button from his pocket, and the floor beneath Kara illuminated with the ominous glow of kryptonite.

"Supergirl, no," Lena shouted, trying to step forward, but Lex tightened his grip on her, and pressed the gun harder into her temple.

"One little push of this button will make that lead floor disappear, and one little pull on this trigger can end my dear sister's life. Okay? Do we understand the rules? Good, now that the stakes are set, let's play a little game of truth. No dare, just truth."

"Please, Lex," Kara begged, "Let her go."

"Oh, I will. If you play my game, Supergirl."

Kara closed her eyes, trying to calm her breathing. When she opened it again, she was resolved to do whatever it took to save Lena.

"Fine. Let's play."

"What a good sport," Lex taunted. "The game is simple. You tell the truth—you win. And there's only one question that we need to answer. Lena, who is Supergirl?"

Lena frowned, uncertainty clouding her features. "I don't know."

"Come, sister, you're smarter than that. Think carefully." Lex goaded, a malicious glint in his eyes.

Kara's heart pounded fiercely—this was Lex's plan. He knew. Somehow he knew, and he intended to use that knowledge to shatter the one thing she valued most in the world: her friendship with Lena.

"I. Don't. Know," Lena spoke through gritted teeth, her frustration evident. "Let her go, Lex. Let me go. There's no need for any of this."

"Oh, but there is," he replied, unyielding. "Okay, Supergirl—your turn. Answer truthfully now, or else I'll have to pull this trigger. Does Lena know you? The real you?"

Kara's gaze shifted to Lena, a silent plea in her eyes. She had to answer.

"Yes," she said softly, lifting her eyes to meet Lena's. Confusion etched Lena's face, and Kara's heart ached. Not like this.

Lex's smile widened, savoring the unfolding drama. "Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Lena, your turn again. Tell me, did Supergirl save your best friend today?"

Kara watched as anguish and panic filled Lena's eyes, the unspoken plea evident. "I don't know. Is Kara...? Is she okay?" The desperation in Lena's voice broke Kara's heart.

Before Kara could utter a word, Lex spoke, coercing Lena, "Come on, Lena. I know you're smarter than this."

He turned his gaze to Kara. "Tell her, Supergirl. Tell her about her best friend."

A sob escaped Lena's throat. "Oh god, please. Tell me she's okay. Tell me she's alive," Lena begged, and Kara felt her heart shatter.

"Tell her, Supergirl. The truth about her best friend."

Lex's words hung heavy in the air, and Kara knew exactly what he meant.

She looked into Lena's tear-filled eyes,

"Lena," she said, softly, "Lena, I—"

But before she could continue, she saw recognition dawn in Lena's eyes.

"No," Lena whispered, her voice trembling. "It's you? It has been you this whole time? Oh god, Kara, I thought you had—" Lena choked on a sob.

Kara remained silent, witnessing Lena's heartbreak unfold as the realization settled in.

"I'm sorry, Lena. I wanted to tell you so many times, but—"

"But you didn't," Lena's voice turned hard, the sense of betrayal evident. "Kara." She said her name like an accusation, and Kara wished she could vanish into the earth.

"I confided in you that everyone in my past had betrayed me. About how much it hurt to have someone you love lie to you and betray you, and you—" Lena's voice faltered, "You were playing me all along, Kara."

Kara felt her own tears fall. She had done the one thing she never wanted to do—she had hurt Lena.

"Lena, I was trying to protect you. Your family—"

"What?" Lena interrupted her, "You thought that you couldn't trust me because I'm a Luthor? Despite everything, Kara, you didn't trust me?"

"I would trust you with my life, Lena. I do trust you with my life. I just never wanted you to ever have to choose between me and your family! I didn't want to put you in that position."

Lex put the gun down, and Kara almost sagged in relief. "My work here is done," he smiled in satisfaction.

Then, surprising them both, he handed the kryptonite remote to Lena. "Take it, sister. I, at least, trust you to do the right thing. You'll always just be a Luthor to them."

When Kara saw Lena's fingers wrap around the remote, her heart shattered. Lex walked away, leaving them alone.

"Lena, please."

"What, Supergirl? Don't kill you? Isn't that what you would expect from a Luthor?" she spat.

"Lena, you're angry. I understand, but—"

"Oh god," Lena said, "You actually think I would hurt you?"

"Never," Kara said, "Lena, I'm—"

"You don't get it, do you, Kara? I would have chosen you. Over anyone. Over anything." She let the remote drop to the floor, the sound echoing through the empty warehouse.

"Lena," Kara whispered, her voice tinged with fear of the impending fallout.

The prospect that Lena might come to hate her felt more daunting than facing any physical threat. She would rather have Lena press that button than have to live with Lena hating her. Lena wasn't just a friend; she was the woman Kara loved, and the thought of losing her was unbearable. With everything on the line, Kara had to say it, to lay bare the truth that had been concealed for so long.

"Lena, I'm sorry. I know I should have told you sooner, about who I am, but please, please believe me. I was only trying to protect you. I didn't know how to tell you. You became my friend, and I thought it would be okay, that I could be Kara for you and still keep this hidden—keep you safe from it all. And then you became my best friend, and by then, I was too scared of losing you to tell you. And then—Rao, Lena, I fell in love with you, and it became too difficult to tell you. I was scared, and I didn't know how. I love you, and the thought of losing you—I knew that I wouldn't be able to breathe if I lost you. Lena, you are the single most important thing in the universe to me."

Lena fell to her knees, and Kara rushed to her, desperate to bridge the emotional chasm that had opened between them.

"I love you, Lena. I have loved you for a long time. Please, please forgive me."

"I want to hate you, but I can't," Lena whispered, her voice a fragile blend of hurt and conflict.

Despite it all, Lena pulled Kara into a fierce embrace, clutching onto her desperately. Kara tightened her grip around Lena, feeling Lena's silent tears seep into her shoulder.

Finally, Lena pushed Kara away, standing up, leaving them both to grapple with the emotional turmoil that hung heavy in the air. Kara rose to her feet, and they faced each other, the tension between them casting a daunting shadow.

"What now?" Kara asked, her voice soft, the fear of Lena's response palpable.

Lena met her gaze intensely, and Kara detected a flicker of conflict in Lena's eyes. It was as if the turmoil within Lena was written in the air between them, as if she was wrestling with a decision.

Then, without warning, Lena pulled Kara in, crashing her lips against hers with a desperate urgency. Kara, initially stunned, quickly melted into the kiss, mirroring Lena's desperation. She could taste the saltiness of Lena's tears on her lips, the kiss carrying a weight as if their very lives depended on it, as if Lena held Kara's breath captive. The world around Kara dissolved, leaving only Lena—her lips, her hands. Lena became the singular reality that mattered to Kara, the only thing tethering her to this world.

Finally, they pulled apart, foreheads pressed together, both breathing heavily.

"I'm hurt," Lena whispered, her voice laden with vulnerability. "You hurt me, Kara. But I can't imagine being without you. I love you."

Kara's heart clenched at Lena's words.

And as their lips met again, Kara vowed to spend the rest of her life trying to make it up to Lena. She would never hurt her again.

Farm witch friends, you have done the coven proud.

We've got so many good recs it's going to take a few weeks to share them all!

Starting with these that were recommended more than once, if you haven't spend some time with these fan favorites, you should check them out now! And leave the authors some love, of course.

========

Everyday Magic (houdini74/@mostlyinthemorning)

Each magic story is so unique, so sweet, so... D&P!

I couldn’t pick just one of these wonderfully variable scenarios that all include just a little (or maybe a lot of) magic added to the perfect scene setting and banter.

Favored Nations (@blueink3)

ALL OF IT! It’s my go-to when I’m feeling down, when I need to revise our boys. The characters, writing, and plot are all amazing.

Amazing world building, very in character slow burn.

The ultimate slow burn, the perfect love story set amongst the wonders of Broadway and NYC.

It’s just so, so good! I am a sucker for secret romance fics, and this one has that and so much more. Add in some Shakespearean theater with a twist and just the right amount of angst and sexiness, it’s just perfect! I love it so much.

This author knows David, Patrick, and the NY theater world inside and out. The volume and level of specificity, volume, tenderness, anxiety, and love of these characters and worlds is astounding. The characterization is so vivid, it's the easiest fic to forget isn't canon.

Fifteen hundred miles (morehuman)

I go back to this fic a lot! I just love the idea of them both challenging themselves and finding out what they are capable of.

The most incredible journey, a gift to go along with them in it.

I carry these heart-shapes only for you (@ladyflowdi and @ships-to-sail)

I love this transportative, visual feast of historic fiction. Luscious WW2 Paris is so vividly portayed and David’s wild, wealthy, LGBTIQ+out flamboyance juxtaposed to the farm-boy turned military-man Patrick is sexy and sweet. It undoes me every time. I actually first came to the piece via FairManor’s outstanding podfic. Both the text and the podfic are high art. It’s not just one of my favorite fan-fics. It’s one of my favorite stories of ALL time in any genre. I read/listen and I am at the Gaston, riding on the back of Patrick’s motorcycle, kissing in windmills, eating crepes, touring junk shops & dancing naked to 40’s blues. I’d give anything to see this as a film with Dan & Noah & cast. I want a leather bound print copy of it. Also - The epilogue is progressive, heartbreaking thoughtful genius. I’ve just finished rereading & listening to it again. Each time there are new Easter eggs to be found. Joyous.

It's just the most beautiful piece of writing ever written. Descriptive, lyrical, hot, stunning, heartbreaking. It has everything.

I’d swing with you for the fences (@nontoxic-writes)

Achingly sweet and fluffy all set in the perfect baseball/famous AU with secret relationship AND musician Patrick. I come back to reread this one a lot!

What isn't there to love? Baseball, long distance relationship, sex, songs, coming out to the parents, coming out to the team, coming out to the world, excellent use of side characters....I could go on and on. There are so many amazing fics out there, but I've read this one at least a dozen times!

Incorrect (@lisamc-21)

You can hear David saying it, but now picture the Maldives.

A beautifully written story of our boys meeting on vacation. Their trip is so sweet and so hot, and when they say goodbye, it's heartbreaking. The twist- they are both famous in their own worlds but don’t recognize each other so don’t realize who the other has hooked up with. When their week ends, they try to maintain a long-distance friendship as they learn who the other is. What was a hot hookup becomes a slow burn, and it’s amazing!!

The Last Rose Video (@distractivate)

Gorgeous writing, the perfect mix of canon and AU, clever plot, great dialogue. The fic I read over and over. It’s as comforting as a warm blanket.

Swoon. SWOON.

Strike Anywhere (@madlori)

Hot firefighters. Hot sex. Hot romance. But like in a Sandra loves Keanu sliding out of a speeding bus kind of way.

Hot hot hot! That’s the first work. Then- the author developed a prequel that is also hot but is also funny, loving, sweet. Love fireman Patrick!

This enemies-to-lovers-to-secret-husbands story featuring Patrick Brewer as a firefighter, is deliciously tropey and blazing hot, but also it’s written with such authentic emotion and perfect banter that it keeps me coming back to read it whenever I need a mood lift.

Such great heights (@likerealpeopledo-on-ao3)

Great story, the very best jokes, and the wedding date chapter is so good it would work as a stand alone fic.

It's got the mother of all fake dating scenarios, and Stevie in this in among the best I've ever read her. It's also very very funny. All the times when they say Feel The Air crack me up every time!

Sustineo (@rockinhamburger)

This is a perfectly paced one-shot AU that builds a world in which David is a brilliant, stormy, reclusive artist whose whose treatment by the press (and one Sebastien Raine) has made him unwilling to engage with the world…. Until he meets an intuitive and kind art writer who sees him for everything that he is (and can be). All of characters here are perfect and I love the descriptions of David’s art.

Incredibly hot art fic.

You can fall (sweetsirius/@wordthieve)

It takes the David and Patrick rescue each other theme of the show and makes the stakes even higher. Plus it's just a genuinely beautiful piece of writing.

The story arc and pacing are fantastic. I love how David and Patrick's relationship develops and how Patrick learns to open himself up again after grief. It's incredibly well written. I've read it so many times, from full read thrus to dipping in and out of my favorite moments and chapters.

Patrick is so heartbroken, but then he meets David. So romantic, and feels lived in.

For Day 5 of the 12 Days of Fandom, I want to give a shout out to some of the great fics we had over the past year:

Though He's a Worthy Emcee by @meadowharvest4856

David as the Emcee? What more do you need?

as we dream by the fire by @blackandwhiteandrose

I'm a sucker for cuddling by the fireplace and this is so, so soft.

parallax by roseapothecary and @stereopticons

I was completely captivated by this story where Patrick discovers David's photographs long before they meet.

David Rose: Style Consultant by @smallumbrella369

Patrick hires David to be his style consultant, but they don't exactly get off to a great start.

paint me up (you're my favorite color) by @stereopticons

David wears nail polish. That's all you (and Patrick) need to know.

Rose from the Ashes by @likerealpeopledo-on-ao3

Good Vibes Tuesday

Are we doing Good Vibes Tuesday again? Well, if not, I’m doing Good Vibes Tuesday a week late.

(Thank you for tagging me last week, @mostlyinthemorning, @jesuisici33, @trickiwooao3)

Here's how @mostlyinthemorning explained it: I'm in the mood for some positivity this morning, so let's share something that makes you happy about fandom*. It can be anything you like—a person or blog you appreciate, a post that made you laugh, a fic you liked, anything that puts good vibes into the world.

*fandom can be whatever you want it to be

I’ve been reading 5+1 Things fics (for Schitt’s Creek) and I think all of you who have written them are so creative and fun. I love the various ways the format and subjects are explained. Here are just a few of my favorite “thesis statements”:

Or One haunted bed and breakfast that wasn't and five perfectly normal places to stay that were.

Five times Ruth comes in to ask for a book from Stevie, and one time she brings Stevie one of her own.

Six of Patrick's first times - or, five times Patrick explores his identity, and one time he ends up exactly where he's meant to be.

Or 5 ways the robbery could have gone down differently and 1 way that it didn’t.

Or five times Johnny wasn't sure about Patrick and one time he was.

(or 5 things Patrick frames for David + 1 thing David frames for Patrick)

Five times Patrick could have come out to his parents and 1 time he did

Here are 5 sweet Christmas moments Marcy was so glad she got to witness plus 1 she really wishes she hadn't overheard.

Five times Patrick was cold (and David warmed him up), and one time he was nice and toasty (also because David warmed him up). Kind of.

OR 5 moments in his life where Patrick made a spreadsheet to help him decide and 1 time he didn’t.

5 times David calls 911 when he shouldn't (+1 time he calls when he should)

Five Dances Patrick Has At His Wedding That Aren’t With His Husband and One That Is (Plus a Bonus)

Five of Patrick's birthdays we don't see in the show, and one we do.

Five times Alexis and Twyla talk at Café Tropical. And one time they talk somewhere else.

Five times Rachel spends the night at the Brewers', and one time David does.

Five times Alexis ran from grief, and one time she didn’t.

Five (tender) moments in cars we didn't get to see between David and Patrick, and one we did.

A 5+1 in which Twyla wears Alexis' clothes and Alexis is steadily driven insane by it.

Five hikes Patrick took with Alexis, plus one he took with David.

OR 5 times Esthelle Janes runs into David and Patrick and 1 time one of them finds his way to her.

Five New Year's Eves that failed to live up to David's expectations and one that surpassed them.

Five times Patrick has a lot of thoughts about touching David. And one time he doesn't overthink it.

Ray’s adventures on Bumpkin: the aftermath of five bad dates and one good one.

AKA 5 times David overreacted and the 1 time it was Patrick.

literally just Patrick realizing he wants to marry david forced into a 5+1 things format

Nice Ask Week! What’s your favorite story you’ve ever read (published, fic, whatever), and your favorite one you’ve ever told?

Hi Courtney! I've been sitting on this one because it's so hard to answer! How am I supposed to choose a favourite thing I've ever read and I've read so many incredible stories?

My favourite story I've ever told is easy - my RWRB lawyer au. It's hands down my best storytelling, has some of my favourite passages of my own writing in it and I'm very proud of it.

As for favourite story I've ever read, I'm going to limit myself to fic because this is tumblr and say that it's Favored Nations by @blueink3 which is a trilogy of fics telling the story of theatre director!David and musician-turned-actor!Patrick and it's just one of the best slow burns I've ever read.

Something Blue

I'm coming in on the last day with just a couple of fan works that I was able to get to that matched the theme.

Blue Hydrangeas by @mammameesh

Introspective of Patrick's favorite flower.

This fic packs a lot of punch in 300 words.

Just The Business Guy by OneBlueUmbrella

Patrick arrives in Schitt's Creek still stinging from his breakup with Rachel. Things didn't go as planned and her words hang in his mind. When he meets David, Patrick slowly begins to realise what she had been trying to tell him all along. But is there a place for Patrick in David's life, or is he just the business guy?

A kind of retelling of how Patrick and David meet and go into romantic business together.

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene[art] by RhetoricalQuestions

"...We're not going to assault our customers with off-brand jack-o'-lanterns before they even enter the store!"

I went to find the oldest D&P fan art I could find and it was one I hadn't seen before.

Thank you @a-noble-dragon for initiating this embracing of fandom love! 🩵🤍🖤

Without further adieu, let’s rip the blindfold off these amazing works!

Day 1

A Notebook Full of Wigs by jarofspiders

***

Finding Her Own Way by StatueintheStone

[Ronnie/Karen, Explicit, 4,812]

Until Karen.

[podfic] coming home to you by hullomoon

[Stevie & David, Stevie & Patrick, Teen, 11:49]

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, whenever she needs it.

It’s not a guest room. David and Patrick were very clear on that. The third bedroom is the guest room. But this, this is her room.

There’s Rose Apothecary products in the bathroom, even though she’d still use the drugstore brand if left to her own devices. There’s the old, battered quilt on the foot of the bed that David said didn’t go with the decor, but left it there for her anyway because he knew how much she loved it. There’s even a Sarah McLachan poster on the wall.

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, and that’s why she’s definitely not crying on this airplane.

***

Day 2

Perfectly Fine by Meesh

[Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 22,385]

***

Day 3

Heaven help me, she’s walkin’ away by lizzie_bennetdarcy

[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 7,247]

“Why would I need two rooms?” Does Ruth usually get herself two rooms? Is that something she should be doing, for thoroughness or something?

“Because there are two of us?”

Wait. What?

Stevie has one more motel to hit before she can take a vacation, and this time Ruth is tagging along. The problem is, Stevie has fallen into old habits and booked the honeymoon suite.

***

Proud Mary by AuthorByNight

[Ronnie-centric, Teen, 4,747]

Jake lifts the table down from the truck with a grunt. There’s no sign of Mutt waiting for him, but the barn door is open wide so he’s obviously expected.

He carries the table over to the barn, halting just outside, ready to call out Mutt’s name, when..

“Jake.”

..His name is a near breathless sigh, followed by a whimper.

***

Day 4

catch you when you fall by rosedavid

[Alexis/Twyla and Alexis & David, Teen, 9,718]

Alexis makes a surprise visit to Schitt’s Creek to spend some quality time with her girlfriend. But David is under the weather, and with Patrick out of town, Alexis tries her best to take care of him.

***

Hey, Brewer by iola17

[Patrick, Ronnie, Teen, 6,393]

A week before, Patrick would have said Ronnie asking for his help was impossible but when she comes into the store to do just that he tries his hardest, despite his confusion and questions.

Over the next few weeks something starts to shift between them but Patrick can’t help but be curious as to what started it all off and what Ronnie’s thinking.

***

here kitty, kitty by hullomoon

Patrick didn’t expect to find a cat or meet a hot vet

***

oh, i kinda of think i wanna make it last forever by doingthemost

[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 2,206]

Ruth can scream. She can wail. She can effortlessly hit the kind of notes that Axl Rose has to warm up for, jumping from pitch to pitch with the kind of abandon that seems like precision. And she knows how to dial it back, following Patrick’s lead with an obvious ease that startles Stevie. When their voices meld together, Ruth matching him beat for beat, note by note, Stevie can’t help herself.

She catches Mutt’s eye, tilting her head towards the vocalists, and bites back a grin when the two of them join in.

And the funny thing is: this shouldn’t be so effortlessly easy. The four of them have never played together before.

Voting her into the band, though, is the easiest decision that Stevie’s ever made.

–

OR: Stevie hates when people tell her to smile. After Ruth joins her band, though, she can’t stop smiling.

***

[Fanart] There’s a Dead Guy in Room 4 by mallpretzles

[Stevie & Roland, General, 0]

The coroner said he’d be discreet with the body removal…so why did 6 people show up to assist? And, why were they all wearing hazmat suits?

***

Day 5

Taking Care of David by iola17

[Alexis & David, Teen, 5,590]

With Patrick out of town, the last thing David needs is to be stuck in bed with the flu. They’ve been planning Patrick’s attendance at the conference for months, there’s no question of him returning to help out. But as chance would have it, Alexis is in town for a couple of weeks and reluctantly, David agrees to let Patrick ask for her help. It isn’t like she’s going to say ‘yes’ anyway…

***

Marcy’s Girls by Turkey_Virgin

[Alexis, Marcy, & Stevie, Teen, 4,464]

Marcy is left alone with Alexis and Stevie after David has to pick Patrick up from a vendor run. Alexis and Stevie both turn to Marcy for relationship advice, and Marcy finds herself to be a substitute mother to the girls.

***

Want S’more by Amanita_Fierce

[Patrick/Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 3536]

Patrick goes camping and gets a crash course in survival woodworking.

***

your secret’s safe with me by stereopticons

[Ruth/Stevie, Mature, 3,125]

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.

***

Best Budds by mallpretzles

Stevie, G, 2,875]

A pre canon telling of Stevie’s relationship with the Motel over the passage of time and the lifelong effect it bestowed upon them.

***

You Miss 100% of the Tapes You Don’t Play by AuthorByNight

[Patrick & Stevie, Teen, 995]

Patrick and Stevie support one another’s endeavors on two separate occasions.

***

a reason to stay by doingthemost

[Alexis/Twyla, G, 606]

It isn’t like she’s never been used, like no one’s ever looked at her and seen someone they could discard. It isn’t like her family, their voices raised through the mansion as they all pack up their lives, cares about her.

She shoves things in suitcases. Stavros will get her out of this; Stavros will bring her home.

Still: when she finds David’s stuffie in her closet, she packs it, too.

–

Alexis has packed and unpacked her life countless times—but until Schitt’s Creek, she never found a place that made her want to stay.

Fic Rec Friday

This week’s theme: Rec a fic that starts with the same letter as your user name (Or, if you like, a part of your user name.)

The rules: Tag the fic and describe why it’s so good/how it has a hold on you. Then, tag some people to see what everyone else is reading. Please tag @welcometololaland or tag #fic rec friday so they can compile a master list on Sunday.

Thanks for tagging me @tyfinn @flowertrigger and @lizzie-bennetdarcy 😘😘😘

Since I have two different usernames I'm going to cheat and rec two different fics:

With the L (for lonely_ampersand, my username on AO3) I'm choosing the fic Leaning In by @dinnfameron. Clearly, I love time travel and multiverse fics, and in this one, set during season 3, Patrick keeps having 'visions' in which he wakes up beside David. Patrick's journey figuring out what's going on and how he feels about it is beautiful, and the ending *chef's kiss* With the S (for smblmn) I'm choosing Secrets & lies by @hippolotamus. The premise is amazing in itself, secret agents from rival agencies? sign me in. The tension is AMAZING and it has a little bit of everything: hurt/comfort, sexytimes, flirting, banter, fluff... so, what else can I say?

Tagging @jamilas-pen @beaiola @wordthieve @noahreids @blackandwhiteandrose @maryp50 @sspaz1000 @mammameesh @apothecarose @ramonaflow as well as the two writers from the fics I chose and anyone else who wants to participate

You're Mine (Supercorp)

by marinawolf

(possessive Lena, angst, first kiss, jealousy) (a very smutty Part 2 here)

Lena Luthor sat in her office at Catco her computer open and a pile of work on her desk. Her mind, however, was far from her work and her gaze was fixed across the Catco bullpen and on Kara Danvers, her best friend, loyal employee at CatCo and superhero who had saved Lena's life on countless occasions. Lena couldn't help but admire her beauty. Those piercing blue eyes that held so much kindness, hidden by adorable glasses during the day, the way her gorgeous smile could light up a room, and that little dimple that appeared when she grinned—it all captivated Lena. But it was the way Kara carried herself, with an air of confidence and bashful grace, that truly drew Lena in.

Lena found herself fixating on Kara's neck, wondering what it would feel like to place a tender kiss there, to feel Kara's breath hitch and hear her gasp. But Lena quickly snapped herself out of those thoughts, pushing them away. She convinced herself that Kara was just her best friend, and nothing more.

Suddenly, Lena's heart sank as she watched James Olsen approach Kara. An irrational anger surged within her as she saw James flirt with Kara. How dare he? Lena felt an intense desire to end James' existence, despite knowing it was completely irrational. The two of them were laughing, their easy camaraderie evident in shared jokes and playful glances.

A wave of jealousy washed over Lena, surprising her with its intensity. She had never felt this way before—her emotions were usually controlled, tightly restrained within the walls she had built around herself. But now, seeing Kara's genuine smile directed at someone else, it ignited a fierce fire within her.

Lena's confusion mixed with her jealousy, clouding her thoughts. Kara was her best friend. But now, watching Kara and James, she questioned everything.

Why did it bother her so much to see James flirting with Kara? Why did she feel a pang of anger whenever Kara laughed at his jokes? Lena was torn between wanting to confront Kara and wanting to hide her feelings away, burying them beneath a mask of indifference.

Unable to tear her eyes away, Lena watched as James leaned down, his lips grazing Kara's ear as he whispered something. His hands gently rested on her arm, a touch so casual yet filled with meaning. Kara laughed, and Lena's chest tightened, a knot forming in her stomach.

Unable to control her emotions any longer, Lena rose from her chair, determination etched on her face. She stormed out of her office, making her way towards Kara and James. The fire of jealousy still burned within her, fueled by every moment she witnessed between them. Without thinking it through, Lena abruptly interrupted their conversation, her voice dripping with icy venom.

"Kara, meet me in the boardroom. We need to discuss something urgent regarding your work," Lena said, her tone laced with anger and impatience. Kara looked confused, but she bid James a quick goodbye and followed a fuming Lena into the boardroom, hoping to find out what had triggered her boss's sudden ire.

As soon as the door slammed shut, Lena wasted no time in starting the argument she had concocted in her mind. The words spilled out of her mouth like venom, each one fueling her anger and jealousy.

"You can't be flirting with James or anyone else while we're working, Kara! It's unacceptable behaviour! This is an office, not a place to socialise!" Lena's voice was sharp, cutting through the air. Her eyes burned with an intensity that matched the fire in her words.

Kara's head whipped around, her bright blue eyes narrowing at Lena's words. "Excuse me?" she retorted, her voice tinged with anger. "What are you talking about?"

Lena took a deep breath, summoning her resolve. "Flirting with James, especially during work hours" she accused, her voice cutting through the air like a blade. "It's unprofessional and it reflects poorly on the both of you."

"Lena, we were just having a friendly conversation and I was on my lunch break," she argued, her voice rising in defiance. "You're making something out of nothing."

The anger in Kara's eyes ignited a flame within Lena, pushing her to push back even harder. "Friendly conversations do not involve lingering touches and smiles," she snapped, her words dripping with disdain. "This workplace is not a dating service, Kara. Learn some professionalism."

The tension in the room grew, and Lena found herself stepping closer to Kara until Kara's back was against the wall.

Kara's frustration boiled over, her voice sharp and biting. "If it's about professionalism, then why don't you say anything about the dozen other couples here? There are no policies against it," she retorted, her words cutting through Lena's defenses. "So why does it matter to you now?"

Lena's breath hitched, her composure faltering for a moment. She swallowed, trying to regain control. "This is not about me," she spat, her voice laced with venom.

Kara's nostrils flared, her voice now dripping with anger. "So then why exactly does it bother you so much, Lena?" she demanded, her eyes boring into Lena's.

Lena opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words.

"How does it even affect you if James flirts with me?" Kara demanded, her voice filled with frustration and confusion. Lena's mind went blank.

The surge of emotions inside her, the jealousy, the longing, reached a tipping point. She couldn't hold back any longer.

Without another thought, Lena crashed her lips against Kara's, the kiss filled with a desperate passion that had been building up for far too long. Kara, caught off guard but not unwilling, reciprocated immediately, their lips melding together in a perfect union. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in each other, the weight of their hidden desires finally released. Kara's lips tasted like a sweet blend of summer fruits, a delicate balance of temptation and longing, intoxicating Lena, stripping her of any semblance of control she had tried to grasp.

Lena's arms found their way to Kara's wrists, pinning them against the wall. The world around them ceased to exist. It was a kiss that held a sense of frustration and relief, a desperate attempt to claim and be claimed. Demanding and punishing.

Kara's body seemed to react instinctively, giving way to a heated response. As the kiss deepened, Lena's grip on Kara's wrists loosened, allowing her hands to roam freely, exploring the contours of Kara's body with a possessive fervor. Lena's anger slowly transformed into a desperate need for connection, her lips molding against Kara's with a mixture of hunger and vulnerability. The kiss became a battlefield of conflicting emotions, of anger and desire, of desperation and fear, bordering on the edge of chaos.

But all too soon, a knock on the door shattered their moment, and they broke apart, breathing heavily. Lena's assistant entered, holding a file and telling her that her next meeting was starting. Kara and Lena looked at each other, their confusion mirroring one another's. Lena managed to find her voice, though it was strained.

"I have to go," Lena said, her voice barely above a whisper, before abruptly leaving the room, leaving Kara standing there, still trying to catch her breath.

As Lena retreated to the safety of her office, her mind spun with a thousand thoughts and emotions. She had finally given in to her desires, succumbing to the undeniable attraction she felt for Kara. But now, in the aftermath of that impulsive moment, doubt and uncertainty gnawed at her. She had seen the mix of confusion and desire in Kara's blue eyes.

What did this mean for their friendship? Could they navigate this newfound territory together? Lena knew that answers to these questions would have to wait, as the urgent matters of her company demanded her attention. But one thing was clear—she couldn't deny her feelings for Kara any longer.
