Fav lines game 💫
rules: share your favorite lines or paragraph you've written from one of your fics, posted or wip.
thanks for the tags @bidisasterevankinard @diazsdimples @tizniz @daffi-990 💖
since I'm indecisive and, like Stevie, do what I want, I'm choosing lines from each of my 'ships
Buddie - from honey, when you call my name
It’s okay. Eddie can ask for this. He can want this. Isn’t it just one of the (many) points Frank’s been trying to get across? That he doesn’t have to settle for the bare minimum of whatever life hands him? That he can request and desire and, most importantly, receive. And anyway, it’s Buck. Who would be more enthusiastic to give than him? “I, uh, want you to have me,” he whispers. “I‘ve never. Not with another person, but. I want you to.” Jesus Christ, for all the confidence he started with he sure can’t seem to find any now.  “It’s okay if you haven’t. If you’re asking what I think you’re asking.” Buck presses a kiss to his hair. “You can have it. But I need you to ask me.” Another soft kiss, so light that Eddie could have imagined it. “Need to be sure.” Eddie squeezes his eyes shut tight, only for a second though. Because he wants Buck to see, and maybe he wants to allow Buck to see him, here in this sacred space they’re creating. He tilts his head back, baring himself. Offering himself up for Buck to take.
Lutalia - from stay here honey (i don't wanna share)
“You’re not getting soft on me, are you?” Nat teases. “I might start thinking you want me for more than just my body.” Lucy snorts and rolls her eyes. “This is a one-time thing. Don’t get used to it.” “Well, if you’re interested…” She trails off, tracing a finger down the center of Lucy’s chest, over her abdomen, and dragging the sheet down as she goes. She pauses to rub the heel of her palm over Lucy’s neatly trimmed patch of coarse blond curls. Nat’s gaze turns darker, hungrier. Like she’d eat Lucy alive, which doesn’t seem like such a terrible thing. “I don’t mind going back to something more familiar. You know, in the spirit of putting you at ease.” “How very altruistic of you.”
David/Patrick - from I know all your secrets
“Don’t go.” The words are barely more than a whisper. Still, David may as well have screamed them for as raw, vulnerable and hollowed out as he feels. He bites down on the inside of his lower lip, a pitiful, broken attempt to hold himself together. If Patrick wants to leave, David won’t stop him. He’ll stay frozen in place, stone faced and unyielding, until Patrick is gone.  Once upon a time he would have tried for nonchalant, but that act is no good anymore. Patrick doesn’t just mean something to him now – he is everything. Anything less and David will crack, bleeding his emotions everywhere until there’s nothing left. 
Twylexis - from the with my heart in my lap wip
Twyla steadies herself, maintaining her hold on Alexis so they’re almost walking as one down the sidewalk. She’s a comforting line of warmth huddled against Alexis’s side. Her cheeks are pink and flushed from dancing, and her lips curl up in a satisfied smile.  “Wasn’t that fun?” Twyla stops abruptly to look up. “That was fun.” “Yeah, doll. It was,” Alexis assures her, tapping a finger to the tip of Twyla’s nose and indulging in the soft chuckle it earns her.  “Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have gone with Tommy? He was having a really great time dancing with you.” Twyla’s giddiness turns to something more subdued and vulnerable that makes Alexis’s heart twist and ache.  “No, Twy.” Alexis presses a kiss to the crown of Twyla’s hair, then tilts her chin to drown in a mesmerizing sea of green. “Trust me when I say there’s nobody in there for me.”

I don’t know about you all, but I’m struggling to get in the holiday spirit this year. It’s been a rough year for a lot of people, I think. So I thought, why not share some winter/holiday fics and encourage people to do the same? So the rules are simple. Post any (or all) of your fics in any fandom that are set in and around the (northern hemisphere) winter holidays! Or southern hemisphere! I don’t care, just share some nice fics. Then tag some people to keep it going. Hopefully we can all read some new things and enjoy some old faves.
Christmas:
you light me up like starlight [david/patrick, M, 5.8k] - Patrick and his band go home to Schitt’s Creek to play in the annual Christmas concert and David goes with him, but he’s not out to his parents yet. Will be the sequel to indie band Patrick when I finish it lol.
if the fates allow [david/patrick, M, 4k] - the follow up to @blueink3’s beautiful exes stuck in a cabin at Christmas duo that follows the year after their reconciliation. For extra sads, listen to the podfic of the first fic in the series by the incomparable @celeritas2997
wrap me up like your favorite sweater [david/patrick, T, 5k] - Patrick has an accident while putting up some Christmas decorations, so an anxious (and slightly guilty) David rushes him to the hospital.
The Great Schitt's Creek Holiday Bake-Off [david/patrick, T, 16k] - David agrees to participate in the Schitt’s Creek Holiday Bake Off to promote the store. He gets paired with a snippy guy from a local bakery. Contains entirely too much baking related innuendo. Also me of the first SC fics I ever wrote.
Hanukkah:
a new tradition [david/patrick, T, 2.2k] - David and Patrick make latkes together during their first Hanukkah as husbands
Winter:
a marshmallow world [david/patrick, T, 5.8k] - David and Patrick and the hot chocolate advent calendar (and it’s accompanying spreadsheet). This probably goes under Christmas because it’s advent but I do what I want.
the world would make sense again (if i held your hand) [twylexis, T, 2.7k] - Twyla gets over her fear of flying to go visit Alexis in New York for the new year.
Please share your holiday fics @jettestar @alienajackson @rosedavid @indestructibleheart @kiwiana-writes @mostlyinthemorning @rmd-writes @blackandwhiteandrose @hippolotamus @lizzie-bennetdarcy @apothecarose @chelle-68 @beaiola @nontoxic-writes @welcometololaland @vanillahigh00 and anyone else who wants to share!

Confession you didn't see coming? Tell us!

PROMPTING IS NOW OPEN FOR SC RARE FEST!
Want more stories about the Rose family’s found family? Interested in exploring the relationships between our favorite townies? Want to explore Patrick and Ray’s relationship as roomies, how Ronnie joined the Jazzagals, or what happens to Alexis in New York? What about all the potential throuples, moreples in this universe, or the rare ships that could’ve happened with a canon divergence? Or some post-canon happily-ever-afters, both romantic and platonic? 
We are the fest for you!
How Prompting Works
Between today, January 30, and February 13, you can leave prompts on AO3! Any ideas for rare or gen works can be left here for creators’ inspiration.
We will have catch-all prompts, for those who want to keep their ideas secret (instead of posting and claiming their own prompt) or for fanartists, vidders, podficcers, etc. who wants to create work for this fest that’s based off of an existing work. They will be posted after prompting closes so they are at the top.
Prompts featuring any non David/Patrick romantic relationship, whether they are canon or not-canon, or any non-romantic relationship, whether they are canon or non-canon, are welcome!
We ask that your work not be centered around the David/Patrick relationship. While it can be in the work as a background element—of course David or Patrick may talk to a friend or family member about their relationship!—we ask that your work be centered around their relationships with others. For example, what do Patrick and Stevie enjoy doing that David hates? What does a shopping spree between David and Alexis look like? Do Johnny and Patrick ever watch another baseball game together? If you have any questions about the intentions of this fest as it pertains to David/Patrick, we are happy to share more of our thoughts!
To give everyone a fair chance at claims, we will be removing claims made earlier than February 13. We will announce on Tumblr when claiming is officially open!
Important Dates
Prompting is open January 30-February 13
Works are due April 9
Posting will take place from April 10-14
Creators are revealed April 17
Our ask box is open if you have any questions. Help us spread the word, and start prompting today!

Welcome to Day 3! As we head into the weekend please enjoy these lovely works: we’ve got New Year’s, weddings, Santa, and much more!!! 
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 3 REVEALS
Like Nothing I'd Seen Before
[David/Patrick - M - 14,248]
Patrick hides in New York during New Year's Eve after breaking up with Rachel, again.
David gets abandoned by his so-called friends on New Year’s and starts heading home.
They meet and kiss.
Then David suddenly vanishes without a trace.
Will they find each other again?
*❄️*
Just because you like to wander, that doesn't mean you don't know the way
[David/Patrick - T - 9,439]
Prompt:
It's a week before Christmas and David Rose has run away from Schitt's Creek. Only problem is, the truck he stole broke down and now he's stranded. He's rescued by a nice couple who insist that he stay with them and their newly single son for Christmas.-
I didn't fill the prompt exactly as it is but I hope you don't mind!
-
“David, what I’m about to say is going to sound very weird, but hear me out… my parents are trying to set us up.”
A surprised laugh escapes David, he had wondered the night before, but still… “What? No, that's not possible. No parent has ever wanted me as a partner for their child.”
“Well, they do. Mostly Mom, but Dad is on board too, even if he isn’t trying as actively as she is.”
*❄️*
Santa Baby (All I Want For Christmas Is You)
[David/Patrick, Stevie & David, David & Roland Moira Schitt, David & Jocelyn - M - 8,640]
Is David on the naughty or nice list? Read on to find out..
*❄️*
Where the Lovelight Gleams
[Stevie & David, David/Patrick - NR - 6,834]
Stevie and David have not spoken in fifty-eight days. But the holidays are a time for friends to set aside grievances, and, when that doesn't work, some well intended meddling from the people who love them.
*❄️*
A Beautiful Discovery
[David/Patrick - M - 4,116]
“I have a secret.”
“What is it?”
“You kiss better than the bride.” Patrick whispered.
David and Patrick meet at the singles table at Rachel's wedding but things aren't as they seem when they meet up in Patrick's room after the wedding.
*❄️*
i would wait in a thousand lines with you
[David/Patrick, Alexis & David, Patrick & Alexis & David - G - 2,961]
David just always knew that Santa wasn’t real.
Adelina had tried her best to make up for lost ground with the Rose children, including celebrating special childhood holiday traditions. When a visit to a mall Santa goes a little sideways, a kind boy and some Christmas magic prove that even if it takes a few decades for it to happen, David can have everything he has always wanted.
*❄️*
He Works Hard for the Money
[David/Patrick - E - 1,693]
Rose Apothecary hits a milestone. The owners must celebrate. In the only way they know how.
*❄️*
[Podfic] just a little bit of magic
[Alexis/Twyla - T - 25]
Twyla Sands has always known the day that she would meet her true love.
(Podfic of just a little bit of magic by nerdframed).
*❄️*
CREATORS: If your works were released today, please don't forget to update your posting date!

Rare & Gen Rec Round-Up - November & December 2022
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.
Happy reading, friends!

300 Twylexis Works On AO3: A Retrospective
Tumblr media
(Yes, this is hugely belated, given that we’re currently at 338 works on AO3. 2022 was a bit of a crazy work year for me 😅)
First, what came before this milestone?
The first Twylexis fic, Oh Please, Not Now by in48frames, was published on December 18, 2018, and the one hundredth, all i want is you by @landofsonlali​, was published on January 22, 2021! The two hundredth, ask ‘em my questions and get some answers, was published on July 23, 2021 by @lilythesilly​, and the three hundreth, Selling Schitt’s Creek, was published on March 23, 2022 by @lilythesilly​, @sarahlevys​, @typewritess​, and @nerdframed​!
Check out a bunch of stats, charts, and tag clouds below the cut!
Twylexis Over Time
First, here’s a complete look at Twylexis works through the years, beginning in 2019 and ending at the big 300 mark. (I will be posting a follow-up of Twylexis in 2022 as well!)
Tumblr media
Since our last milestone, it took eight months and 2 days to reach our 300th Twylexis work!
While the fandom slowed down in 2022 alongside a slowdown of the Schitt’s Creek fandom as a whole, we’re still alive and well. Check out how long it took to reach our previous milestones for comparison:
100 works: Achieved after three years, one month, and three days
200 works: Achieved after six months and one day
At 338 works as of January 3, 2023, if we continue at our current pace, we are projected to hit 400 works in May 2024.
Twylexis Creators
In total, 123 unique creators have published 300 Twylexis works, and 63 of those creators published works #201-300; they’re listed below in the word cloud!
Tumblr media
Twylexis Content
Lastly, here are the most common tags used within fics #201-300:
Alternate Universe: 44 times
Post-Canon: 38
Canon Compliant: 23
Twyla Sands: 23
POV Alexis Rose: 19
Podfic: 18
David Rose: 16
And here are all tags for works #201-300, broken out into individual words. You can compare it to the word cloud at the very top, which shows the tags for all works #001-300:
Tumblr media
Here’s to the next hundred fics!
(PS: For those who’ve read my previous installments, I decided to stop analyzing comments, kudos, and hits because to have the most up-to-date data, I’d have to download all works every time—and that’s a bit much for right now 😅)

hullomoon's 2023 works: part one
it’s the end of the year, which means it’s time for a work round-up! i had a pretty busy year so i didn't post as much, but i also know i did more longer works. so it probably balances out in the end. if you haven’t yet, check out my 2019 roundup, 2020 roundup, 2021 roundup, and 2022 roundup! all works are ordered in chronological posting order.
part one | part two | part three | part four | part five | part six
[podfic] don't blow those pipes | Schitt's Creek | David/Patrick | 03:25
Patrick picks up another new instrument. David is not thrilled.
[podfic] your love is a secret i'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep | Heartstopper | Nick & Nellie, Nick/Charlie | 0:10:06
“You know, you’re technically the first person I’ve come out to. Or first… creature.” Nellie licked his face. Or, five times Nick could only talk to Nellie about his feelings for and about Charlie, and one time he found the courage to talk to a human.
[Podfic] Haus Bylaws that Need Added to the Wall: No Hanging Chads | Check, Please! | Gen | multivoice | 0:10:37
If a Chad approaches Lardo, allow her to set up fucking ruining him before pouncing. [sub a) In all cases of Chad, Shitty is wingman because Bitty punched that one Chad.] (sub b) He deserved it.) {sub c) He totally did.}
[Podfic] winter's upon us, so won't you stay? | A League of Their Own (TV) | Jo/Maybelle | multivoice | 0:23:15
“I was just so worried about you when you left,” Maybelle says, eyes wide and full of softness. “I wish I coulda been there to take care of you, honey. You deserved that. You shouldn’t have had to leave alone.” No one has wanted to take care of Jo in so long. or: jo goes to maybelle's for the holidays, and finally figures out what she wants.
snowed in with you | Schitt's Creek | Rachel/Alexis | 4,079
Rachel just wanted to get away and destress. Then she learned that someone else was already at the cabin. And then they got snowed in.
99 Podfics | Podfic Fandom | multivoice | 0:16:01
Voiceteam Mystery Box 2022 presents their project for the "It's a Trap!" challenge. The challenge was: "Create an audio fanwork with contributions from at least 90% of this round's Voiceteam Mystery Box players. If at least 90% of players contribute, every Voiceteam player gets 90 points outside of their point cap. If less than 90% of players contribute, nobody gets any points. Either way, this challenge is completely meaningless pointswise." We didn't quite get to 90%, but we did make some beautiful chaos!
you came in like a wave when i was feeling alright | Stranger Things | Steve/Eddie | 840
Eddie likes to watch the rugby team practice
[Podfic] Sherlock Sands and the Mystery of the Pie Thief | Schitt's Creek | Alexis/Twyla | multivoice | 06:19

[podfic] Haunted Doll Watch: Magic Earring Ken Doll Edition | Supernatural & My Brother, My Brother and Me | multivoice | 0:11:10
The listing: Haunted Ken Doll Seeks Gay Owner (Lesbian or bi okay too)

A little Twylexis ficlet thingy I wrote today under the cut to deal with some stuff. I hope you enjoy ☺️ (fyi: if anything vaguely medical isn’t your jam maybe it’s not for you. There’s nothing explicitly discussed, more about med side effects) 💞
“Here, babe, I made you some chicken noodle soup.” Twyla carries a bowl and some crackers on a tray into their bedroom. “Do you think you can sit?”
“Yeah. Think so.” Alexis uses her hands to clutch at the sheets and push herself to a sitting position. It uses what little energy she has, but she’s hopeful that eating something will help.
“Thanks,” she adds when her wife rests the tray over her lap. There are few things Alexis looks forward to more than Twyla’s chicken noodle when she’s not feeling well.
She raises a spoonful to her lips, ready to savor every delicious bite. Instead she nearly chokes, trying not to spit it out on the duvet. The flavor is all wrong, sour and bitter rather than savory with just the right amount of saltiness.
“Nooooo,” Alexis whines, dropping her spoon on the tray. “Not the chicken noodle.”
“I’m so sorry.” Twyla takes her hand, tangling their fingers together. “I was hoping it wouldn’t start this soon. Or maybe not at all. What else can I get you?”
It feels petty and childish, but Alexis doesn’t want anything else. She wants what her wife made for her, for it to taste like it’s supposed to. The doctor told them to expect this. Still, she wants to pout and cry and demand that things go back the way they were.
“I want my soup,” she mumbles, then turns to look at Twyla, certain she looks as miserable as she feels. “This is just the beginning. What else is this stupid treatment going to take from me?”
She already knows some of the answers to that question, but pushes them from her mind.
“First of all, that stupid treatment is what’s going to get you better,” Twyla says. “I know that’s easy for me to say when you’re the one who has to go through this. But I’m going to be with you through everything, okay? If I have to make a thousand meals until we find something you like, well… that’s just what it takes.”
God, Alexis loves her.
“I know. And that means the world to me.” Alexis leans against Twyla, resting her head in the crook of her neck. “If you feel like it, can we try grilled cheese with tomato slices?”
Twyla hums and presses a kiss to the crown of her hair. “Anything for you, babe.”
Alexis lets her eyes drift closed and smiles to herself. At least nothing can take this from her.

They’re smack in the middle of the crush of bodies on the dance floor, pressed chest to chest, David’s arms slung over Patrick’s shoulders and Patrick’s arms around David’s waist, his fingertips inching up under David's sweater to get infinitesimally closer to him. He and David are dancing in a way that can really only be described as grinding, and his whole body is electrified with the thrill of being surrounded by gorgeous, sweaty men, while being allowed to actually touch the one in front of him wherever and however he wants.
Or, for Patrick's 35th birthday, David takes him to his first gay bar.

On a trip to NYC for Pride, Patrick struggles to figure out where he belongs.

Helping his mom set up her concert at the Toronto Pride Fest sounded to David like a small price to pay for a weekend in the city. But that was before he was roped into joining the performance, which featured one very snippy lead singer.

“Okay, this is supposed to be fun, and instead I’m bored,” Alexis announced, hopping to her feet. “I am going to go out there and enjoy myself, and I would like for my brother to join me.”
“Ugh, fine.” David threw his hands up in exasperation. “I suppose one person can run the booth for an hour. Give me a second to–”
“Ew, not you, David,” Alexis said, grabbing Patrick’s hand and yanking him along with her out into the street.

Alexis comes back to town for the annual Pride festival, spends the day palling around with her favorite brother, and comes out. Love that journey for her.

Marcy processes her thoughts, feelings, and observations about Patrick after Meet The Parents. And she’s a pretty amazing mom while doing it.

The morning of the NYC Pride March is pretty hectic for Alexis and Twyla, Stevie and Ruth, and David and Patrick. Once it's time to join in the fun, though, everything else is confetti.

sc monthly drabble challenge: lapis
“Twy, what’s this?” Alexis asks. The stone is cool and smooth in her palm.
“It’s a lapis lazuli,” Twyla explains with a soft smile. “It’s supposed to bring peace and serenity.”
Alexis turns the deep-blue stone over in her hand. “It’s beautiful.”
“I thought you could take it with you to New York?” Twyla looks so hopeful that Alexis is powerless against those earnest green eyes.
She sets it on her new desk in her apartment in Brooklyn. When she touches it, she does feel a sense of peace because it reminds her of Twyla’s sweet smile and big heart.
