***

[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 7,247]

“Why would I need two rooms?” Does Ruth usually get herself two rooms? Is that something she should be doing, for thoroughness or something?

“Because there are two of us?”

Wait. What?

Stevie has one more motel to hit before she can take a vacation, and this time Ruth is tagging along. The problem is, Stevie has fallen into old habits and booked the honeymoon suite.

***

Proud Mary

[Ronnie-centric, Teen, 4,747]

It’s 1997, and Veronica “Ronnie” Lee is in a small town for business. What she doesn’t expect is to stay - or for a fourteen-year-old rich kid to help steer her in the right direction.

***

i’ll stick by your side, if you’ll be right by mine

[Patrick & Twyla, General, 4,130]

Patrick is new in town and is immediately welcomed and befriended by Twyla. They bond over their crushes on the Rose siblings, baseball, and performing in Cabaret and become best friends.

***

Survivable

[Stevie & David, Teen, 1,450]

What did Stevie do for those three days David was missing? It was during those three days Stevie realizes just what David does mean to her.

***

riptide rush

[Alexis & David, Teen, 1,253]

***

(I Can’t Keep) Quiet (Any Longer)

[Jake/Mutt, Mature, 1,220]

Jake’s just innocently dropping off Mutt’s new table, when he hears something he probably isn’t meant to overhear and he can’t help but listen in..

Jake lifts the table down from the truck with a grunt. There’s no sign of Mutt waiting for him, but the barn door is open wide so he’s obviously expected.

He carries the table over to the barn, halting just outside, ready to call out Mutt’s name, when..

“Jake.”

..His name is a near breathless sigh, followed by a whimper.

A Notebook Full of Wigs

[David & Moira, Not Rated, 5,344]

One night, five year old David discovers that Moira names her wigs. This sparks an obsession that lasts over a decade, acting as a niche source of comfort in David’s increasingly tumultuous life.

***

Finding Her Own Way

[Ronnie/Karen, Explicit, 4,812]

When Ronnie turned 24 she headed east away from Regina, putting her past behind her. Hoping to find somewhere she belonged, to find a place where she fit in. A place where she could live the way she wanted, do as she wanted, and be content. She wasn’t interested in anything beyond a hookup, a flirtation, something with no attachments.

Until Karen.

***

Kitchen-wear

[Ronnie & Patrick, Teen, 4,077]

Patrick hires Ronnie to remodel the kitchen at the cottage.

***

I Walk Through Life

[Alexis-centric, Teen, 2,073]

A character study of Alexis through four (platonic) relationships.

***

Father’s Day

[Stevie & Johnny, General, 733]

Stevie finds a way to let Johnny know how she feels about their relationship.

***

[Stevie & David, Stevie & Patrick, Teen, 11:49]

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, whenever she needs it.

It’s not a guest room. David and Patrick were very clear on that. The third bedroom is the guest room. But this, this is her room.

There’s Rose Apothecary products in the bathroom, even though she’d still use the drugstore brand if left to her own devices. There’s the old, battered quilt on the foot of the bed that David said didn’t go with the decor, but left it there for her anyway because he knew how much she loved it. There’s even a Sarah McLachan poster on the wall.

There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, and that’s why she’s definitely not crying on this airplane.

Hi! Random q if you’re up for it. What are three things you’re struggling with right now and three that are making you feel at peace?

Hi anon! Hope you’re having a good Friday ❤️

Three things I’m working on:

Sleeping without using melatonin/edibles as the easy way out. I’m making good progress!
Writing. I haven’t written in over a month, and I hope that will change soon with @scrarefest coming up!
Cooking at home and reducing food waste. An eternal struggle!

Three things that bring me peace:

I’ve been enjoying using my non-writing time to read and play video games. It’s usually all or nothing either way and in either direction, so hopefully I can find a good balance soon
I’ve really been enjoying Abbott Elementary lately. I’m really behind on all things TV due to the writing thing having taken up so much time in the past, so, again, I want to get better about balance.
For once, I feel like my anxiety is kind of in check? [knock on wood]

I’d love to hear yours too if you want to share!

There’s still time to prompt for SC Rare Fest!

Want more stories about the Rose family’s found family? Interested in exploring the relationships between our favorite townies? Want to explore Patrick and Ray’s relationship as roomies, how Ronnie joined the Jazzagals, or what happens to Alexis in New York? What about all the potential throuples, moreples in this universe, or the rare ships that could’ve happened with a canon divergence? Or some post-canon happily-ever-afters, both romantic and platonic?

We are the fest for you!

How Prompting Works

Between today and February 13, you can leave prompts on AO3! Any ideas for rare or gen works can be left here for creators’ inspiration.
We will have catch-all prompts, for those who want to keep their ideas secret (instead of posting and claiming their own prompt) or for fanartists, vidders, podficcers, etc. who wants to create work for this fest that’s based off of an existing work. They will be posted after prompting closes so they are at the top.
Prompts featuring any non David/Patrick romantic relationship, whether they are canon or not-canon, or any non-romantic relationship, whether they are canon or non-canon, are welcome!
We ask that your work not be centered around the David/Patrick relationship. While it can be in the work as a background element—of course David or Patrick may talk to a friend or family member about their relationship!—we ask that your work be centered around their relationships with others. For example, what do Patrick and Stevie enjoy doing that David hates? What does a shopping spree between David and Alexis look like? Do Johnny and Patrick ever watch another baseball game together? If you have any questions about the intentions of this fest as it pertains to David/Patrick, we are happy to share more of our thoughts!
To give everyone a fair chance at claims, we will be removing claims made earlier than February 6. We will announce on Tumblr when claiming is officially open!

Important Dates

Prompting is open January 30-February 13
Works are due April 9
Posting will take place from April 10-14
Creators are revealed April 17

Our ask box is open if you have any questions. Help us spread the word, and start prompting today!

Rare & Gen Rec Round-Up - November & December 2022

Happy 2023! We hope it’s off to a great start! To wrap up 2022, here are our recs from November and December, and we’d also like to give a warm rare/gen welcome to @hullomoon, our latest mod! Enjoy the recs!

–

The Best Things in Life Are Free by @icantbestill29, Alexis/Twyla, rated T, 1759 words

SUMMARY: It’s the thought that counts, right?

Rec [written by doingthemost]: This is a super cute, fluffy Christmas moment between these two. Twyla’s conflict over what to get Alexis for the holiday is so relatable and realistic, and the payoff of the actual gift—and Alexis’ reaction!—is so worth it.

–

bigger than the whole sky by @blackandwhiteandrose, David-centric, rated M, 1201 words

SUMMARY: On the rooftop of his gallery in New York City, David and a friend get introspective (and high) about life and love.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This pre-canon slice of introspection is such a beautiful and emotional look into David’s headspace before Schitt’s Creek. It really makes you appreciate his growth throughout the show. (It does feature a canon character from another universe, but no knowledge of that show is needed.)

–

cosy by @alysiswriting, Stevie/Twyla, rated M, 100 words

SUMMARY: Stevie deserves all the good things. And great sex.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: This is 100 words of perfect story building. It’s sultry, a little bit sweet and very cosy. Perfect for a little bedtime read.

–

A Jewelled Tapestry by jamilas_pen, David-centric, rated G, 100 words

SUMMARY: David observes an autumnal spectacle.

Rec [hullomoon]: I love introspection and this drabble is so poetic. If you want to be reminded of a crisp autumn day and the path life has given you, I high recommend.

–

Performance by @wearpersistencewell, Alexis & David, rated T, 182 words

SUMMARY: David is concerned, but unsurprised, when Alexis puts on a familiar show.

Rec [hullomoon]: I love reading fics that dissect Alexis & Ted’s breakup. With David focusing on how he and Alexis both handled them in the past, it’s nice to see what’s changed.

–

Raindrops on Roses by meeshxsmith, Stevie/Twyla, rated G, 1033 words

SUMMARY: Stevie and Twyla try out for the Sound of Music.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: If there’s one thing I LOVE, it’s car conversations. And this fic has a flirty, hopeful car conversation! Twyla offering to take care of Stevie? Yes, please! Very nice.

–

Sherlock Sands and the Mystery of the Pie Thief by @sarahlevys, Gen (with background Alexis/Twyla), rated G, 609 words

SUMMARY: When Twyla Sands’ pumpkin pie disappears from the table, she goes on a quest to discover the thief.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This is the insight into Twyla’s family that we all needed. Full disclosure, this slice of absolute silliness was written as a glorious gift for me, personally, but I highly recommend it to anyone who needs something to make them smile. It also now has an accompanying podfic!

–

stars by the pocketful by @anniemurphys, Alexis/Twyla, rated T, 1657 words

SUMMARY: Twyla is Canada’s Sweetheart, a highly successful singer recording her latest album. Alexis is pop’s bad girl, invited to co-write and record a song for Twyla’s album.

Sparks fly.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I didn’t know I needed Twyla as Taylor Swift until suddenly, we had it. Seriously, if you’re at all a Taylor Swift fan or a Twylexis fan—bonus if you’re both, of course!—this is the fic for you. It’s a pitch perfect AU (pun intended!) and so much fun.

–

Happy reading, friends!

#alexis rose #twyla sands #alexis x twyla #twyla x alexis #twylexis #schitt's creek #my writing #fic: time—curious mystical wondrous time

Trivia TWednesday

Creators: give a “behind the scenes” look at one of your works. This could be things that got removed or changed, the origins of ideas/details, whatever you like!

Thank you @swearphil for tagging me!

I decided to write about time—curious, mystical, wondrous time as it’s one of my all-time favorite fics that I’ve written. For those that don’t know the fic, I’ll paste its summary here:

Alexis leans in, lowering her voice to a whisper. "I already lived today. Like, yesterday was August 20. My mom got back on Sunrise Bay, and I gave you all my clothes, and—"

"Alexis!" Twyla exclaims. "You did what?"

"Okay, I promise I will circle back to that, but." Alexis flattens her hands on the countertop. "Like, am I losing it, or is this something that maybe you've heard of happening before?"

Twyla purses her lips, thinking a little, before she turns her patient gaze back to Alexis. "I don't think that's ever happened to me, but nothing's impossible if you believe that it's true."

OR: Alexis finds herself reliving Start Spreading the News... over and over again.

This is a really long ramble about all of my feelings regarding Alexis’ overall arc in the show, how I see her relationship with Twyla, and my thoughts on her decision to move to New York, so I’ll put it under the cut...

(Also, I’m tagging @stereopticons @rosedavid @lilythesilly @roseapothecary @danieljradcliffe @rhetoricalk @hullomoon @schittposting @schitthappens and anyone else who sees this!)

#alexis rose #twyla sands #alexis x twyla #twyla x alexis #twylexis #schitt's creek #my writing #fic: i can be your hero baby

i can be your hero, baby—Schitt's Creek, Alexis/Twyla, G, 2309 words, written for @nerdframed

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Alexis says immediately. She usually aims for a friendly sort of detachment in public—suffer through enough superhero stalkers and you'll end up endlessly jaded—but she can't help the way her eyelashes are fluttering. "Totally, babe."

"Good! Good." She tilts her head up to meet Alexis' eyes, her smile broadening a little more, and Alexis is suddenly desperate to know how to evoke that smile again. "You know, my tarot cards told me it would be a lucky day, but I didn't know it'd be because I'd be meeting you."

Oh, Alexis thinks to herself, her own smile waning a bit. The recognition shouldn't have been a surprise, and sometimes it's welcome—but as lucky as she is, it's never quite helped her with love. She can get lucky, but people have never really wanted to stick around.

Alexis Rose—also known as Hellcat, the SHIELD agent known for her lucky superpower—falls in love with a charming waitress named Twyla Sands.

Anonymous asked:

hi there! curious if you have any twylexis works in progress?

Hi! Yes, I have one coming pretty soon, and then I have a couple of other WIPs that I hope to have motivation for sometime. My ALOTO muse is a lot stronger at the moment, but I plan to continue working in both fandoms for the foreseeable future! Anything specific that you'd like to see for the ship?
