Why are you sitting here when you could be reading Watching Through Windows

Hi there. I had a question for you about Watching Through Windows. I know it's been a long time now since your wrote it. I've read it a million times since it was posted. I always wonder, what made you choose to have Patrick NOT tell David their story? They tell him about losing the $$$, moving to SC, Alexis's history but not about him starting the store and meeting Patrick, etc. I guess I was just curious if u would share why you made that creative decision. Love the fic and all your work.

Hi hi! I’m so glad you enjoy the fic :D

So in canon we’ve seen Patrick withhold info a lot. I think he’d do that here too. As for why, it’s anyone’s interpretation tbh! But here’s my thinking in this fic (though I’m reaching back to summer ‘19– I haven’t re read besides listening to rev jo’s lovely podfic— so bear with me)

I think there’s three things driving Patrick’s (probably subconscious) decision-

* He’s super bad at talking about fraught things! Even in this future verse lol

* He’s protecting himself. Telling David all the most treasured details about their relationship and getting any negative reaction would be pretty devastating imo!! David hurts some feelings in this fic just because he doesn’t have the context to know better 🤷🏻‍♀️

* He thinks David is going to leave him regardless, and it’ll hurt less if David doesn’t doing it knowing all those precious things, and at least the memories will be preserved as a Before and After for Patrick

Thanks for your comment!!

I wrote something!!!

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.

Category: M/M

Fandom: Schitt’s Creek

Relationship: Patrick Brewer/David Rose

Characters: Patrick Brewer, David Rose (Schitt’s Creek), Alexis Rose, Johnny Rose, Moira Rose, Stevie Budd

Additional Tags: engagement fic, but mostly a study on the Rose siblings, and what happens when your biological family becomes your found family, Implied Sexual Content

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.

is this what marriage is? a david/patrick fic rec masterlist

so these dumb gays dragged me kicking and screaming back to fandom so you know what that means? it means fic rec masterlists, my favorite ever activity.

what you’ll find here: happy gays, sexy gays, soft gays, disaster gays, sports gays, not sports gays, supporting gays, cuddly gays, panicking gays, business major gays, non-business major gays, married gays, engaged gays, dating gays. look i could go on but you’re familiar with david and patrick. unfortunately these are all from ao3 because we don’t have a unified tag for fics. but check out my fic recs tag for things i reblog.

what you won’t find here: STRAIGHTS (jk there might be some straights, but only valid ones like johnny/moira and alexis/ted and stevie who’s actually a lesbian but only in my head), every fic i’ve read that i’ve liked (look i’m only human. i’m a disaster. i can’t read every single d/p fic. ok maybe i can and maybe i have but that doesn’t mean i can put them all on this list! then you’d just have ao3.)

so, and this is important, there are fics that will be missing from this list. it’s not comprehensive. there will be fics i loved that i accidentally left off. please don’t be mad. i’m only human. i’m fallible. thus, i take no responsibility for the fics i forget (i’m kidding, i absolutely do). there are also fics that i’m going to continuously add so that’s fun. if you have any suggestions or you really want to let me know about your favorite fic, come into my inbox and i’ll add it!

a note about categories: some of these fics overlap categories and i actually had a tough time choosing them. most of the “angst” is not all that angsty, just more serious topics. i tried to divide one-shots into more traditional “one-shots” and longer, more plot-based one-shots. it just means they’re a little more developed than maybe something that takes place in one night, or is a specific moment in their relationship. there’s a category for all-time favorites and must-reads, but honorable mentions will be italicized. fics with smut are noted with two stars like so **

want another category? make your own list. or like drop into my inbox and ask bc i’m a pushover and if you ask nice enough i’ll do what you want.

David Rose + smiles by season

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.
