Chapter 4 is up!
*
Alexis wakes up to her phone pinging at her, irregular but insistent. Ted’s long gone into work for that weekend neutering extravaganza that she forbid him from discussing at home, so she’s got to fumble all by herself to get the phone off the bedside stand and unplugged so she can blink her eyes enough to actually read whatever’s on it.
There’s about a dozen WhatsApp notifications and a half a dozen texts; the latest text box is from Patrick and just says “ALEXIS WAKE UP.” She dismisses it; the next one says “ALEXIS WAKE UP.” The other four say the same thing.
“Oh my God, Patrick, chill,” she mutters, and checks WhatsApp. It is, of course, all Patrick, the first one at like, five in the morning. On a Sunday.
Hi hello how are you I’m sorry can we talk about how YOU MANIFESTED A PIECE OF WATCHING THROUGH WINDOWS IN THE SHOW. David wanting to move to NYC and Patrick being overwhelmed and not here for it!! Also I’m very sad as anxious that THAT’S the thing that has come to fruition because oh my god I’m so nervous now the end of that episode was really hard to watch, but oh my god it’s always wild when fic writers accurately predict plot points way I’m advance!!
oh man the end of the last episode has me stressed too!!! it was super fun to see the NYC plot finally pop up again though, and luckily I’m pretty sure the happy ending tag applies here too 😊 thank you for the ask!!

Here’s a thing I wrote!!
OMG!!! I love this @hatepotion
I was rereading @helvetica-upstart‘s Watching Through Windows and I literally could not stop thinking about this line
Aww thank you so much for reccing my fic!!
Since I’ve already done a month over the proposal the next logically step is to do a month for the wedding planning. I decided I wanted to make recs, but a little more in-depth, and because of this there may be some slight spoilers.

Summary: “I’m going to work on wedding planning,” Patrick says, smacking a kiss onto David’s lips, “And you are going to reconcile with your sister.”David wrings his hands. “But — you can’t tell the difference between eggshell and ivory!”“Better make up quickly, then!”Or, Patrick and David get engaged. Alexis worries about getting left behind.
Thoughts: Okay to be fair this is a but of stretch, technically there is wedding planing but the focus on the story is on David and Alexis’s relationship. I just love this so much because 1. i will never think there is enough stories about David and Alexis’s relationship and 2. this story just shows their growth so well. There is such a sweet moment between these two although the diner scene is also enjoyable.

I love your amnesia fic, and it’s a trope I usually don’t like, so you surprised me with your ability to make the story compelling. You do a great job of establishing initial chemistry between Patrick and David & maintaining intimacy without making their relationship feel overly familiar to David. The parts with Alexis have been my favorite — outwardly, she’s the same girl David knew, but you mine her character for the little differences. Also, I’m sad about Moira’s actions, but it makes sense.
I’m so glad these elements have been working for you!!!! 💖💖💖

"Patrick’s faint little eyebrows raise. He looks like a sexy Bob the Builder. David had a crush on Bob the Builder, a thousand years ago. He wonders if he’s ever asked Patrick to sing, can we fix it? Yes we can!" LKJLKASDJFLKASJ YOUR MIND
my fic
I think we all noticed just how much David smiled in s5, so I started to get curious about just how drastically that had changed over the seasons. I assumed it had started pretty minimally and grown each year, but the only way to find out for sure was to actually start counting. So I started taking screenshots of every time he smiled–smirks, grins, happy little twists of his lips, big, small, sarcastic, real–I tried to get them all. There are definitely still some missing from this; sometimes they look like smiles in real time but not in the screenshots, sometimes they’re too small or too quick to capture very well, sometimes he’s talking or moving and they’re too blurry. So there are definitely more than what’s here. But this is most of them, and I think it still illustrates the point pretty well:
David just gets happier and happier, year by year.
