***

catch you when you fall

[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

[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. Even after she leaves, their interaction preys on his mind. 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

[Ted/Patrick, Teen, 1,352]

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

***

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

[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

[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?

We’re in the home stretch!!! Take a breather and enjoy these wonderful Day 5 works!

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!

*❄️*

DAY 5 REVEALS

*❄️*

The Ice Hotel

[David/Patrick - E - 10,654]

“Everything is wrong. This was supposed to be an anniversary trip and my boyfriend just stood me up, and said he loves someone else. I’m here alone, and my driver said he’d be back for me after the storm cleared.”

When David is abandoned at an Ice Hotel due to a winter storm, he makes the most of it with the cute owner, Patrick.

*❄️*

Mary Christmas, Baby!

[David/Patrick, Stevie & David - G - 9,121]

"I performed in my all-boy's high school's Christmas Pageant. It wasn't actually a huge part, until I decided to write an original song entitled 'Mary Christmas, Baby.'" -Patrick

"I was offered the part of the wise man, but I turned it down. I played myrrh." -David

*❄️*

Just For You

[David/Patrick - T - 8,722]

The thing is, David really does love wrapping gifts. It’s easy to get lost in the rhythm of it, in the glide of the scissors through artfully decorated gift wrap, the folding of the paper sheet into sharp creases, the decisive press of tape to seal the loose edges, and the precise placement of a bow or ribbon. There’s something intensely satisfying about laying down the scissors and seeing the final product, all the neat corners and tidy edges, finished off with the flair of a curling ribbon.

When David sees the poorly-wrapped presents his friend has prepared to send out to his friends and family he can't sit by and let it happen, not if he can do something to help. The fact that he happens to be quietly in love and pining for Patrick is beside the point - he's doing this for the sake of good taste.

... Although Patrick's smile is an extra bonus.

*❄️*

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?

[David/Patrick - M - 6,348]

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

*❄️*

[Podfic] (When I was a little girl) I wondered who I'd give all my love to...

[Stevie/Ruth - G - 12m:16s]

Tourist-y things like skating in Rockefeller Center are supposed to be fun, right?

Or

Stevie realizes it’s been a few years (like ten) since she’s been on ice skates, and, well, she’s a little rusty. Thankfully Ruth has a way to make even this a good memory.

(Podfic of (When I was a little girl) I wondered who I'd give all my love to... by typewrites)

*❄️*

[Art] Christmas Paper

[David/Patrick - G -]

Origami inspired by the Schitt's Creek Christmas episode: Merry Christmas, Johnny Rose.

*❄️*

find the word challenge

Thanks for the tags @alyxmastershipper @swiftiediaz @mysteriouslyyounggalaxy @elvensorceress @spotsandsocks😘

rules: share snippets of your work containing each of the words the previous poster selected for you (optional addition: if you can't find the word in your WIPs, or you simply don't have any WIPs, you can just write a sentence around the word)

My words are (I just did the ones I had!): gentle, hands, please, stop, sigh, love, scream, heaven, stars, home, peace tugs, sleep, tender, whisper, fall, reach, cries, lick, understand, longing, sweet, night, regret, blue, fear, couch, wall

Words for people I tag: tea, lonely, book, radio, mess

Tagging (if you want to play) my love @lizzie-bennetdarcy @stereopticons @blackandwhiteandrose @rmd-writes @apothecarose @fatedbuddie @shortsighted-owl @alysiswriting @monsterrae1 @vanillahigh00

For anyone that has known me for more than 2 seconds, you know that WIP is a very broad term in my world. Also, there are many words, so under the cut for mine. Off we go!

@alyxmastershipper's words:

gentle (Wait for me to come home) He relearns how to adjust his touch to something more gentle. To keep his thrusts calibrated for someone smaller, lighter. To expect that the hands touching him won’t be calloused and firm, but soft and featherlight. He likens it to returning to a favorite childhood hangout. Somewhere that feels familiar, with mostly good memories, but you know you don’t exactly belong there anymore.

hands (Buddie stargazing fic) Evan scratches the back of his neck, where the grass tickles his skin, before pillowing both hands under his head and crossing his ankles.

please (from S6 midseason spec) Eddie stares, scrunching his eyebrows for a moment, then glances up at Buck with a look he can’t quite decipher. He’s not upset, but doesn’t exactly look pleased either. “That’s- that’s great, Buck. Good for them. I’m glad you were able to help.”

stop (from Buck moving into Eddie's fic) The racing thoughts abruptly stop, replaced with only one. One absolutely absurd memory.

sigh (from [redacted] for @alysiswriting) With a resigned sigh, he finishes filling his plate with an array of raw vegetables, Linda’s BLT dip, and something he only knows is wrapped in phyllo dough. For good measure he takes a second one because he knows Buck’s been eyeing them up. Eddie would gladly hand it over, but he actually wants to try it for himself.

@swiftiediaz's words:

love (from [redacted] for @elvensorceress) Buck enters the apartment, his movements still slow, like he’s floating. Buoyed by the love and contentment that only comes from spending an evening at the Diaz house.

scream (also from the [redacted for Jenwyn]) The hollow ache in his chest that’s always there unexpectedly feels deeper. Wider. Like it may actually break through and tear him apart. How can such emptiness feel so massive? As if his ribs are slowly cracking open, snapping one by one, stretching the skin while crushing his lungs and heart. He wants to scream or cry or something. Anything. But it’s all stuck, gathered in a tangle that refuses to budge.

stars (Buddie stargazing) The line goes dead, leaving him alone with the fireflies. Pinpricks of stars are beginning to emerge in the night sky, forming faint outlines of near recognizable constellations. If she could see them, he wonders if Maddie would see the same sky where she is. Maybe.

home (Stevie/Ruth) Stevie doesn’t need a lot in life, but there’s something to be said for a company car that will take her where she wants. And right now she wants to get home, to the person who will gladly carry every ache and burden she has. Because no matter the geographical location, Ruth is home.

peace (Fashion & Baseball) Patrick wishes his mind would string together something more coherent than flashes of partial words he can’t seem to access. The single language available is David, David, David on an endless loop. He looks relaxed, holding his fingers up in a peace sign, dressed in a black sweater patterned with white flowers, tight black jeans and sunglasses that are probably worth more than Patrick’s car.

@mysteriouslyyounggalaxy's words

tugs (I know all your Secrets) Patrick greedily claims David’s mouth and brackets his palms on David’s waist, tugging their hips together. There’s a renewed urgency to his movements, signaling to David that Patrick wants control now.

sleep (David/Stevie The Honeymoon coda) During the day she parades around with a see-if-I-care attitude, armed with a razor sharp wit, ready to cut whoever gets too close. At night though, fucked out and fast asleep, she tells a different story. It’s present in the way her mussed up raven hair fans across the pillow.

whisper (David/Patrick mall pretzel Patrick) He lets his head loll to the side and shoots her the best glare he can manage. When he’s satisfied he’s glared enough, David drapes his arm across his forehead and knits his brows together. “Stevie.” It comes out part whine, part whisper, all desperation.

fall (Buck moving into Eddie's) Or Eddie holding Buck in the aftermath of Abby coming back, letting him sob and fall apart until he exhausted himself and Eddie put him to bed.

@elvensorceress's words:

reach (Twylexis) “‘Lexis!” Twyla bolts up in bed, orienting herself to the room lit only by a patch of moonlight. She reaches out to the other half of the bed, grasping at air, and it takes her a moment to realize — to remember — she’s alone because Alexis is away. This always happens the first night, but she still isn’t used to it.

cries (Stevie/Ruth) There’s an uncomplicated sense of satisfaction when her key slides into the lock and she pushes the door open. After it clicks shut, there’s a clang from the kitchen accompanied by a string of curses that makes Stevie chuckle. Because really if she doesn’t, she might cry at this point.

sweet (Fashion & Baseball) “Oh, just look at all my sweet boys!” Marcy Brewer coos in the direction of Patrick, Andy, Ted, Mutt and David, all standing in the grass outside the Brewer house.

understand (magical realism cat!Buck) “What does that matter?” Buck asks, tilting his head to the side like he genuinely doesn’t understand. “You’ve been raising him this whole time, you’re an amazing father. Gods, Eddie, have you even looked at your son lately?”

longing (David/Patrick Olive Branch) It‘s as if his efforts to remain professional had wrapped around the remnants of despair and longing only to fray and knot them all together.

@spotsandsocks words:

night (magical realism cat!Buck) Ana slips out the door, turning to smile again and blow him a kiss. The deep red imprint floats through the autumn air, landing on his cheek soft like a butterfly. Then she’s gone in a swirl of lavender smoke and fallen leaves, fading into the night.

blue (magical realism cat!Buck) He can already feel the eyes on him before he closes the door. The bright blue orbs, almost electric with their intensity.

fear (Wait for me to come home) Buck had let him do that. He taught Eddie how to want without shame or fear of rejection. Shannon doesn’t know that Eddie though. Afraid of driving her away from Christopher again he had immediately shut that part of himself down.

couch (Buck moving into Eddie's) People wouldn’t see video game tournaments on the couch, baking cookies with Christopher, Eddie telling him there’s no one he trusts more with his son.

wall (Buddie stargazing) He doesn’t want to, not yet. Out here is calm and relaxing. Inside is stuffy and constricting. It makes his muscles tense, like he needs to move. And in there he’s not allowed to move the way he wants. Mom and Dad have so many fragile things lining the walls, Evan wonders if they aren’t secretly inhabiting a museum. At any rate, as parents, he’s pretty sure their focus is in the wrong place.

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

–

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

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

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

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

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

–

Happy reading, friends!

--

[fic + podfic] home is wherever you are tonight — Alexis/Twyla, T, 4,662 words / 31:15

"Okay," Alexis says. "Okay. So I know neither of us are married, we don't want to move to Toronto alone, and we're already talking about living together. And you're my best friend, Twy."

"You're mine, too."

Alexis smiles, pressing her fingertips against her mouth for one brief, fluttery moment. "And we're going to be best friends forever, right? So if we're always going to be in each other's lives, and we care about each other and love each other, what's stopping us from signing on a mortgage together?"

OR: Alexis and Twyla, super platonic best friends, decide to buy a house together. What could go wrong?

--

There's a shine in your eyes that i just can't fight — Alexis/Twyla, T, 3,665 words

Twyla goes in for a tattoo and comes out with a crush.

Stevie has an unexpected life-changing experience after she takes a trip for the Rosebud Motel Group.

Stevie receives a cookbook as a gift. The resulting meals feed her body and soul.

--

The Schitt's Creek Corn & Beer Festival Sponsored by The Rosebud Motel — Stevie/Twyla, G, 2,004 words

The distracting thing, though, was the cutoff jean shorts with the pockets hanging out below the frayed hem. As Twyla leaned down to retrieve a crate from the ground, bending at the waist and putting her long, bare legs on display, Stevie knew she was fucked.

@schittscreekdrabbleblog word of the week:

Inspiration

Stevie finally looks up from the screen and blinks at the time. Five has come and gone, and 8pm is staring her in the face.

She's been working long hours lately, and coming to the New York office more frequently. It's merely a coincidence that finding her inspiration often means staying late and running into certain business partners. And more frequent dreams of shiny dark hair and soft brown eyes.

"Stevie!" She looks up to where Ruth has appeared in her doorway, as if conjured by her thoughts. "It's late, wanna grab dinner together?"

Stevie smiles softly. "That sounds great."

Ruthie, 21

Oh Ruthie (Ruth and Stevie for those of you who may also be slow on the uptake like I once was). Once again, friend, thank you for sending wlw asks into my box (please do for legit every ask game I post).

21. Who has an obsession (over anything)?

Oh, Ruth is the more obessive of the two. She has very paticular feelings about suits and their fabrics. She has an aesthetic and likes to fit everything into it. Stevie finds this as endearing in Ruth as she does in David, even more so. David notes a specific lack of eye rolling that he would receive.

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

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

Blessed be!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lapis

@schittscreekdrabblechallenge

"Happy anniversary." Ruth handed her a little box. "Ruth, I can't..." Stevie opened the box. "You don't have to wear it. I just wanted you to have it, for your travels..." "No...I mean, isn't this yours?" Stevie lifted the Lapis globe from the box. "Put it on me?" Ruth sat straight and took the necklace with tender care. "My mom gave it to me the first time I left the Philippines. It's supposed to be a stone for wisdom, intuition, truth." She clasped the necklace along Stevie's neck. "This way wherever you are you'll also have a piece of me."

We did it, folks. It’s Friday, and we’re rounding out our week with our final selection of works. This year’s Rare Fest comes to a close with themes of friendship, family, and love — much like the show that we’re all here to celebrate. We hope you enjoy them!

Have fun following along this week? Don’t forget to leave a kudos or comment to show our writers your appreciation!

***

Taking Care of David

[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

[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

[Patrick/Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 3536]

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

***

your secret's safe with me

[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

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

[Patrick & Stevie, Teen, 995]

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

***

a reason to stay

[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.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @apothecarose and @stereopticons. Thank you, friends! I poked around a few WIPs that have been patiently waiting their turn and this one struck my fancy. Working title is make me dream of things i never did before

On my way.

The only words Stevie can muster, even for a text. Today has been long and relentless. Endlessly catering to the wants of others and now she’s tired and depleted. A heavy breath leaves her chest as she lets the buttery-soft leather of the town car take her weight. At times like this she’s grateful for the perks the Rosebud Motel Group offers, saving her from having to take a rideshare or the train. Stevie doesn’t need a lot in life but there’s something to be said for a company car that will take her where she wants. And right now she wants to get home, to the person who will gladly carry every ache and burden she has. Because no matter the geographical location, Ruth is home.

See you soon.

A short, simple reply that lets Stevie know she’s cared for. Given how much time it had taken Stevie to break the barrier of exchanging ‘I love you’, it’s these words - see you soon - that have truly allowed her to believe Ruth loves her. A mere three words had built the foundation ‘I love you’ needed to rest upon, continuously reminding Stevie someone is waiting just for her. It doesn’t matter if she’s coming from the office downtown or a cross country flight… ‘see you soon’ is a beacon, a welcome mat, and a warm embrace.

There’s an uncomplicated sense of satisfaction when her key slides into the lock and she pushes the door open. After it clicks shut there’s a clang from the kitchen accompanied by a string of curses that makes Stevie chuckle. Because really if she doesn’t, she might cry at this point.

Ruth steps into view and Stevie knows she sees it, too – the metaphorical weight Stevie’s carrying, but doesn’t talk about most days. That she doesn’t have to talk about because Ruth won’t ask unless she offers. From the very beginning, Ruth has understood Stevie’s need for privacy and time to process. Instead of words Ruth pulls Stevie close, stroking her hair while Stevie rests her head on Ruth’s shoulder.

Their heights are relatively equal since Ruth doesn’t have her heels on. She’s already changed into her strappy camisole and yoga pants, barefoot, with her hair in a messy bun. Stevie likes her this way, soft and relaxed. A sharp contrast to the power suit, boss bitch vibe she projects at the office. The one that lets everyone know exactly who’s in charge. Right now Stevie might want a little bit of that, too.

Ruth kisses Stevie’s forehead, massaging soothing circles around her temples, eliciting a sigh that borders on a moan. “What do you need?”

A question that can be answered any number of ways - solitude, a meal, wine, trashy television. None of those are satisfactory tonight. Later, perhaps, but not right now.

“Take care of me,” Stevie whispers into Ruth’s shoulder, her voice nearly breaking. “Please.”

“Always.” The quiet confirmation allows any remaining tension to melt away, like dropping a heavy bag at the door.

Ruth takes her hand, flipping down light switches as she leads them to their bedroom. Stevie follows readily, willing to go along with whatever comes next. She has given all day and now she’s ready to receive.

It’s almost Thursday so I’m not going to tag anyone this week, but consider this your tag if you want to share what you’re working on 💙

my 5 favorite fics that i've written (for fic writer appreciation day)

thank you @lilythesilly for tagging me!

1. The Seven Husbands of Alexis Rose — schitt's creek; alexis/twyla (with art by @hagface, and podfic and additional art by Amanita_Fierce, @danieljradcliffe, HowOldAreWe, @hullomoon, @lilythesilly, @n0connections, @rhetoricalk, @roguebebe, @schittposting, @sunlightsymphony, @thesleepyskipper, wi22iou)

My name is Alexis Rose. But you knew that already, didn't you?

There's no need for shyness. You don't need to pretend that you didn't Google me before you read this article, or that you don't know who I am. I shouldn't misspeak, though: you think you know who I am. You have an idea of who Alexis Rose is.

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.

In 2015, Alexis Rose pens a tell-all for Vogue, promising to finally tell the truth about all seven of those infamous husbands and then some...

2. heaven is a place not too far away — schitt's creek; alexis/twyla

"Oh, but soulmate marks are real." Her mother's expression softens. "Always one-sided, unfortunately. So difficult to know when you've truly met your soulmate without a matching indicator on the part of the other person, or other persons, if you're following." Her mother winks, and Alexis makes a face. "Your father was the exact same way. The poor little lamb couldn't carry a tune until he met me!"

"So you and Dad..." Alexis' head is spinning. "You guys are, like, actual soulmates."

"Very much so." Her mother appraises her carefully. "And you must have met yours, too."

"Yeah." Alexis blinks, stunned to find that she's short of breath. "I guess so."

OR: Alexis' soulmate mark – the ability to sing – triggers when she moves to Schitt's Creek.

3. salt air and the rust on your door — schitt's creek; alexis/twyla, stevie/ruth, stevie/alexis/twyla/ruth (with art by @schitthappens and podfic by Amanita_Fierce, @sunlightsymphony, @schittposting, @roguebebe)

At first, it seems too good to be true: four girls, all the same age, all on the shore for the same overlapping dates. Alexis has never known girls like this, has never wanted to spend as much time in their orbit as she does now.

She's drifting in the ocean, riding the waves next to her three friends, when the thought occurs to her as quickly as the tide changes: she could get used to this.

Alexis, Stevie, Twyla, and Ruth meet at fifteen, during one pivotal summer at the Jersey Shore. What happens during the eight summers that follow?

4. time—curious, wondrous, mystical time — schitt's creek; alexis/twyla

Alexis leans in, lowering her voice to a whisper. "I already lived today. Like, yesterday was August 20. My mom got back on Sunrise Bay, and I gave you all my clothes, and—"

"Alexis!" Twyla exclaims. "You did what?"

"Okay, I promise I will circle back to that, but." Alexis flattens her hands on the countertop. "Like, am I losing it, or is this something that maybe you've heard of happening before?"

Twyla purses her lips, thinking a little, before she turns her patient gaze back to Alexis. "I don't think that's ever happened to me, but nothing's impossible if you believe that it's true."

Alexis finds herself reliving Start Spreading the News... over and over again.

5. Choosing So Carefully — schitt's creek; stevie/ruth

Stevie can't remember looking at Ruth without wanting her, without aching for her company. She looks at her hands, turning them over in the air, and tries to remember a time that they didn't feel empty whenever she wasn't touching Ruth. Hasn't she been craving the sound of Ruth's voice for all of her life?

And then she fucks it up.

--

Plus my favorite (of a grand total of two, lol) fic that I've written for ALOTO!

1. it's okay to want things (i think) — a league of their own (2022); greta/carson

It's far from the first time that a married woman's ring has snagged Greta's clothing or left scratches on her skin. But it's the first time that she's cared this much—and she hates that the cool press of unfamiliar metal against her cheek is enough to make her eyes narrow and her breath catch.

AKA: The reason why Carson stops wearing her wedding ring.
