Fic Rec Friday Rec Round Up Week 47

week 47: for May 22

This Humble Little Oasis: Hidden Gems

For week 47, @stargazer56 asked us to reflect upon all the wonderful fics we have discovered through Fic Rec Friday:

In the spirit of discovery, this week let's all recommend our favorite underrated gems. Is there a fic you constantly reread that you think deserves more love? What about that fic you've been dying to recommend, but it doesn't fit neatly into any of the previous categories? Writers, is there a fic of yours that you feel is overlooked? Let's recommend those deep cuts and fics that haven't previously received any Fic Rec Friday love.

Happy June 1!

Have you read a Schitt's Creek different first meeting AU where Patrick travels to NYC for Pride and meets a leather wearing David?

in finding myself, I found you by @flowertrigger

[carolrain]

Ah, there's so much good stuff in this fic, like

What he originally thought were beautiful black and white photos—upon further inspection Patrick can now see that they are hyperrealistic, intricate drawings created by dots. Hundreds, thousands, millions of dots. “These are amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this.” . . . . The longer Patrick looks the more he feels like this could be his own face staring back at him. His years with Rachel condensed into all these tiny black marks, where from a distance everything looked neat, perfect, the way it should be. But up close, in the thick of it, it was blurry, messy, unsettling—the full picture out of reach. He wonders if he had taken a step back, granted himself a little time and perspective if his life would’ve turned out different.

and

It may not be his desired outcome but it was a start. He flirted a little (he hopes the flirting came across), he openly admired a guy, and it felt good. It’s a step in the right direction. A baby step but a step nonetheless.

I hope @flowertrigger is still checking mentions and knows we appreciate her work and miss her!

[smallumbrella369]

A favorite!

Tagged by @a-noble-dragon , thank you!

Currently Reading: Dungeon Crawler Carl (book 1) It's fun but I don't think I'll continue the series.

Last Film: I can never remember... I think it was "Send Help" a very fun, if a bit gory, ride.

Last Show: Currently watching "Widow's Bay" Creepy and funny.

Last Song: "It's You" by Peter Peter

Coffee or Tea: Both

Sweet or Salty: Also both!

Currently working on: Absolutely nothing. Creative energy depleted. Muse has gone missing. If you see her wandering about, please tell her to come home.

Dan Levy and Noah Reid for Entertainment Weekly

[tinylilemrys]

Just thinking about Ilya making the playoffs for the first time with the Cens and getting texts from Yuna and David about it.

Yuna's one is like, "HOLY SHIT THE CENTAURS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS! I never thought I'd be so excited to say that. 😂 This is such a huge achievement and I couldn't be more proud of you! This means I'm finally going to have to cave and by an Ottawa jersey. Don't tell David I told you, but he's still drying his eyes about it. Bubbly when you and Shane come over on Saturday for SURE, okay? Love you lots. SO proud."

And David's is like, "You did it, Cap! I know how hard you worked for this and it's paid off. We'll be cheering you on for every game. I am so unbelievably proud of you, kiddo. Love you lots - can't wait to see you and Shane on Saturday."

And Ilya just sits there unable to breathe because he's never had a text like this after making the playoffs except maybe from Svetlana. He replies to the messages, eyes blurry with tears, and spends the rest of the night opening them at random times, just overwhelmed by how loved he truly is.

Thank you… for um… making that happen for us.

I just can’t shake this fear that…there is a small chance that this could change everything. That they might see me differently, or treat me differently.

Fic Rec Friday Week 45

No, her birthday is the second weekend in May...

Happy Friday Everyone!!!! This Sunday is Mother's Day in Canada, the United States (where I live), and several other countries around the world, so it seems fitting we celebrate the Mom's of Schitt's Creek this week 🌷

Marcy cradled the card against her chest, sighing at the memory. This cake was the perfect cake for David. And if she just so happened to buy extra ingredients when she and Clint went shopping later, well, you never knew when you might fancy whipping up a cake for you and your husband to share.

Aunt Maureen 🖤

In the Advent of Cherry Blossoms by @wearpersistencewell / calloftheloon

After they sell the town, things go from bad to so much worse for the Roses and those who love them - including Stevie Budd. When given a literal second chance, she has the opportunity to reshape the lives of those around her. But can she prevent tragedy a second time? And could playing a part behind the scenes of other people’s lead Stevie to finding herself?

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there and also to all the Mother Hens of this little fandom. It is definitely a bright spot in the often bleak world we currently find ourselves living in 🩷💐😍

Fic Rec Friday Rec Round Up Week 43

week 43: for April 24

I Don't Understand His Clothes: Sweaters and More

Like Clint, I was a little sartorially baffled when I first laid eyes on David Rose, but he (and the rest of Schitt's Creek) has taught me more about fashion than I knew I wanted to learn. So I thought it would be fun to gather some clothes-related fic:

For this week, can we recommend some stories about clothing? Perhaps you have a favorite fic in which David is a fashion designer. Maybe there's a missing scene where Stevie actually wears David's clothes. Or do you have a favorite lingerie-focused PWP? Do we have any fics that feature Alexis and Twyla sharing clothes?
