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!!
Seeing this made my day 🤗

Or, David falls off a ladder and can’t remember Schitt’s Creek. Things fall apart and come back together.

Chapter 4 is up!!!
@leupagus is my hero for so many reasons, including beta'ing this, writing Rose's Eleven, and owning a great mug
Here's my writing playlist for this fic if you wanna see all the sad songs I listened to writing this chapter!!
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.
