He Sees You [david/patrick, E, 13,228] by @distractivate
“Do you wear a lot of blue?” she asks. Cindy, her name tag says.
She hands Patrick a pair of dark gray wire-frame glasses which he slides on until they hook behind his ears. And it’s not like—well everyone who knows him knows he likes blue. But he feels a little unsettled that this stranger picks up on it, like at she can see his whole life contained within the frames around his eyes.
“Uh, yeah. I guess so,” Patrick says, taking them off again. This pair, like all the others she has given him, is exactly right and completely wrong.
Or, Patrick gets glasses and thinks about identity. David helps.
it absolutely, positively has to be there [david/patrick, G, 3,650] by @ships-to-sail
“Can I help you?” His voice is a little like butter, a little like pop-rocks, a mixture of comfort and surprised humor and it’s a nice voice, like the nice handwriting. David can’t seem to connect his mouth to his brain.
“Store? Sorry, I’m the store? I mean, the store is mine? I —” he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, scrunching his hands into little fists. “I’m David Rose, I own Rose Apothecary.”
The name seems to jog his memory, because Delivery Guy smiles, a for-real bending of his mouth that looks so much like the grin emoji that David’s wondering if he’s talking to some kind of cartoon. “Ah, I’ve been wondering if you guys were actually open.”

a little too corporate for my brand [david/patrick, T, 2,484] by @dinnfameron
One day the business license gets knocked off the wall, and the frame breaks. It's the perfect opportunity for David to replace it with something a little more on brand. Except. Patrick gave him that frame.
OR
David Rose is NOT sentimental. You can't prove that he is. Shut up, Stevie.

beneath the arc of the earth's halo [david/patrick, T, 5,835] by @grapehyasynth
David needs an escape from his family and Schitt's Creek, so he books a trip to a little town in the Arctic Circle. It's very cold and very dark and he's filled with regret. Fortunately, there are some sources of warmth.
Do We Get What We Deserve? [david/patrick, E, 18,728] by @floosilver8
What if Patrick and David met before they were "ready"? What if their first meeting wasn't so fluffy and sweet, and instead more angry and kind of hot? But kind of sad? Let's go on a little journey...

Go Grab a Plunger [david/patrick, G, 1,215] by @colourcodedbinders
“You’re on,” Patrick says finally, and he catches her smile before greeting the man that’s just entered.
Best case scenario, he walks out of here tonight with a boyfriend. If not, he gets a whole day of bossing his friend around.
It’ll be fun.
OR
David thinks of Patrick as his boyfriend. Of course he does. He just needs to be prodded into admitting it out loud.

switchin' them positions [ted/alexis, M, 6,603] by @sarahlevys singsongsung
Twyla’s eyes dart back up and clash, hard, against Alexis’. It’s not like it is with Ted, a flame kindled between them, one she’s tended to, one that burns in a way she knows and wants. But there’s something there, with Twyla, sparking; something that, with the right turn of the wind, might just be wildfire.
“Yeah,” Twyla says. “Yes. I - ” She swallows, and Alexis watches the line of her throat as she does. “I want to.”
During Patrick's housewarming, Ted's spin lands on Twyla instead.

We Have Rules! [david/patrick, G, 1,070] by @doublel27
“Lunch?” Patrick asks, untying the bag.
David turns around, dropping the feather duster by his side and sagging. It’s for effect, Patrick is sure. “Oh thank god! I have had a day.”
Patrick felt his lips twitch affectionately and tried to keep the amusement out of his voice. “David, I left you alone for an hour and a half. That’s not a day.”

don't build hope on something broken [david/patrick, T, 3,533] by @5ambreakdown
David’s hand comes to cover both of his, because he knows Patrick with a depth and hunger no one else prior thought was ever necessary; like he understands intimately that Patrick has always been quickly regarded a certain way, a way that no one thought was worth a second glance, nothing more hiding under the surface. But David knew, saw the shape of everything simmering under Patrick’s skin, and he wanted more.

Every Inch Of You Is Perfect From The Bottom To The Top [david/patrick, M, 2,456] by @a-noble-dragon
David swung forwards again to hide his ass from view, then contemplated his body with a grimace. Ever since he'd gotten married he'd gotten more and more comfortable with himself. Being in love and having that love returned had turned a bristly and strung out David into a softened and complacent version. Literally. Whenever he looked in the mirror nowadays there was a softness to his features and a voluptuous roundness to his figure.
In other words, he had a big ass, and it only seemed to be getting bigger.
If, Then [patrick/rachel, G, 1,526] by @hippolotamus
If-Then statement: A conditional statement (also called an If-Then Statement) is a statement with a hypothesis followed by a conclusion.
Soulmate/sōl māt/Noun: a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.
Well, they’re at least one of those things. They used to be anyway. Patrick and Rachel. Rachel and Patrick. Three distinct words that had morphed into one over the years. And now Patrick was on a mission to begin the messy business of disentangling them once again.

Summer dreams on a Winter's night [david/patrick, M, 11,335, cw: violence] by Critically_Reviewed
Both Patrick and David has had their lives changed irrevocably by one primordial vampire. In this story, they will embark on a journey filled with danger, pain, harsh truths and destiny. As love grows between them, their fates are tested by hate, prejudice, pledges of vengeance, and the dark world they now inhabit. *This is not for everyone! I had an urge to write something different and this just came to me. Uploads won't be regular as I don't want to force the story but will write as inspiration strikes :)*

I just finished watching Schitts Creek on Netflix and I (as an extremely stubborn person) have never swapped opinions on a show so significantly. Usually, once I have an initial impression on characters/a show, I DO NOT change my mind. Like, it is engrained on my psyche.
But when Schitts Creek introduced me to David, Alexis, Johnny and Moira, I thought they were the most annoying, self-centred, unwatchable characters that I would ever meet.
And then I kept watching.
And watching.
And watching more.
And the characters slowly developed into people that I felt like I knew. Not just the Rose family, but Twyla, and the Schitts, and Ronnie, and Bob and Stevie and Patrick and Ted. They became this family that I genuinely cared about.
And it was so clear how much the directors cared about the show and how much all the actors really loved their characters. And that just drew me in and in and in until I felt so at home with the show and everything that it represented to me.
So I guess this is a just a random, shameful, apologetic post to inform everyone that they should definitely watch Schitt's Creek because you will not regret it. Muscle through your initial distaste with the characters' actions and you will gain something so lovely in their redemption arcs that are written so well that you don't even see it happening, because the characters get to keep their core beings intact by the end of the show.
