#sebastien x david

[reasonandfaithinharmony]

"David, who carries the trauma of an emotionally unavailable family and a string of bad relationships, is hesitant to reveal too much of himself, preferring to present a curated image. Reassuring her skittish son, Moira tells him, '[Patrick] sees you. For all that you are.' So when David needs to extend an olive branch to Patrick, the clearest way to tell his boyfriend how much he trusts him is to make a public spectacle of himself — to let himself be seen."

Paint on the Colours

When you get a comment on an old fic and you start to reread it and think... Wow this isn't half bad.

Look not gonna lie, I have edited a few sentences because what kind of writer would I be if I didn't. But honestly, this is a really fun story.

Flower

for @schittscreekdrabbleblog

David plucks the petals from the dozen long-stemmed roses Sebastien had delivered.

He loves me. He loves me not.                                    

Petals litter the floor, and tears streak David’s cheeks. Not even halfway through dismembering the beautifully boxed apology flowers, he knows the truth.

Still, he plucks. He wants to be wrong.

.

David picks each petal from the floor then moves to the bed. He examines the delicate flowerheads there. Bruised and torn. Ground into Egyptian cotton. He plucks the survivors from the sheets to turn into potpourri.

Their bedroom overlooks Patrick’s well-tended garden. Roses in full bloom.

He loves me.

Not a hair out of place, still perfectly put together.

Now, David post (first!) night with Patrick

That’s some just-been-fucked hair, yeah?

310 vs 605

Season 6 of Schitt's Creek was a love letter to the fans, with callbacks to the other seasons littered throughout every episode.

TBH, I don't know if this was something that was done intentionally, but it always struck me that Patrick being absolutely smitten with David despite his impaired state, highlighted the stark difference between the way David was treated in past relationships versus his relationship with Patrick. Even when he was high, Patrick used his words to build David up, while Sebastien used them to tear him down. Of course, really, there was no comparison between the two.

Inspiration

In response to the @schittscreekdrabbleblog word of the week.

“Your solitary commitment to centering your spirit is inspiring, David, but one needs a partner for this class.”

David inhaled sharply at the smug, lazy voice behind him. Of fucking course. He’d known coming back to this particular yoga studio while visiting Alexis was risky, but he’d hoped to get away with it. 

“Sebastien—” he growled before being interrupted by Patrick’s arrival. Oblivious to anyone but David, he dropped to his knees and delivered a lingering kiss before settling onto the mat next to him.

David smiled and didn’t bother looking at Sebastien as he finished his sentence. “—fuck off.”

Seven(ish) Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tag @jesuisici33

***

“Sebastien?” He spoke tentatively.

Sebastien pulled back from the twink, momentarily confused. Once he spotted David his eyes brightened, and then he cleared his throat.

“Da-vid,” he drawled. ‘I’m so glad you’re here. Josh and I were just getting warmed up for you,”

“For me?” David inquired, totally unable to interpret what was going on.

“Josh wants to be the meat in the sandwich and I thought you would be perfect,” Sebastien answered as if David had ever mentioned wanting to be with more than one person. “He can fuck you and I’ll fuck him.”

“Me?” David’s eyebrows felt like they were about to hit the roof.

“You are delicious, he wasn’t wrong,” Josh’s eyes trailed over David hungrily.

You didn't think it was going there, did you?

DAY 7 REVEALS

someday you'll carry me up a mountain, too

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - E - 18,463]

David Rose. Gorgeous, interesting David Rose is flirting. With him. In the past, flirting had been enjoyable, a nice way to get to know someone new. This is different. It’s exciting. And fun. And makes his stomach swoop and his knees weak. For the first time in his life he finally understands the appeal.

Or...

Patrick Brewer, newly single and fresh off a break up, has himself a vacation fling, that leaves him wanting more (HEA, of course!).

Outside Edge

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stevie Budd & David Rose, Patrick Brewer & Stevie Budd, Sebastien Raine/David Rose - M - 12,114]

Patrick's barely-there-brows pull together. “Hey, I’m doing you a favor here—”

And that's it; that's what completely sends David over the edge.

“—I'm sorry, doing me a favor?” David cuts him off before that gets any further. His voice is doing that shrill thing he's apparently well-known for, but he can replay the memory and hate himself for it later. Right now, he's pissed. “How about you do me a favor and take your little hockey bat and sh—”

“O-ookay!” Stevie half-yells, literally stomping her way between them. Her angry expression turns to David first: “David, he is your only shot at competing this year. Literally your only option.” She turns that look in the other direction: “Patrick, this is your only shot at competing again at all. Literally no one else on this planet is desperate enough to teach an NHL retiree how to dance on ice.” She folds her arms over her chest. “So, either suck it up now or quit.”

*

Kinship

[T - 7,303]

Stevie grabs the photos and the papers and the heartbreak, stuffs it all into the box, and pushes it into the back of her closet.

Family is complicated. Taking a DNA test doesn't change that.

*

Practice Makes

[Theodore "Ted" Mullens/Alexis Rose - G - 2,605]

This, Ted decided, was his favourite part of Christmas. Not the presents, which were just okay, and not the time off from school, which he didn’t really like that much, but this – making cookies with his mother.

--

Ted, his cookies, and five Christmases through the years.

*

[Podfic + filk + fic] measure by measure

[Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose, Stevie Budd/Twyla Sands, Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands - T - 2,296]

Black Sheep's debut album, At My Fingertips, is up for Album of the Year and Rock Album of the Year at the Grammys. But anyone who knows of Twyla Sands (lead vocals and guitar), Stevie Budd (bass guitar), and Alexis Rose (drums) can't help but fixate on the question everyone's asking: are the three of them more than just band mates?

Ruth Clancy, lead reporter for Rolling Stone, is here to find out.

(This fic contains podfic and music composed and performed specifically for the podfic!)

*

Rainbow Rose

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy - G - 2,190]

David had expected lots of things to come from Schitt’s Creek, but being one of three prominent queer establishments was never one of them. He actually assumed he would be hate crimed within his first few weeks here. Instead he found the most welcoming community known to man.

So Much Better - Chapter 1:  Oh My God You Guys

I’m excited to present my newest David x Patrick story, So Much Better. It will post on Fridays - find it and subscribe on A03 here if you don’t want to miss it.

Chapter 1:  Oh My God You Guys.

David stares into his closet.  Sadly, nothing in it has changed since he last looked five minutes ago.

It’s not as if finding the right outfit will necessarily solve all his problems, but it’s at least something he can control.  He’s got a date with Sebastien tonight - for dinner, not just meeting up at a club or crashing some socialite’s party - and he’s starting to spiral.

Lately there’s been something different about Sebastien.    In the three months that they’ve been together, their relationship has been the epitome of casual.  “Hey, nice shoes” is probably the most effusive thing Sebastien has ever said to David, and David is fairly certain it was a joke.  But over the past few weeks David has caught Sebastien looking at him contemplatively, almost sizing him up.  Then Sebastien insisted on going to a show put on by one of the least interesting gallerists David has ever encountered, where they “accidentally” ran into Sebastien’s mother.

If he didn’t know better, David would think that something special was going to happen tonight.  That Sebastien might actually want to take their relationship to the next level.  Not just exclusive, but long term.  Maybe even… get engaged.

Sebastien isn’t exactly who David pictured himself ending up with when he was young and naive.  Being with Sebastien is like walking a tightrope.  David is constantly worrying that one wrong step will send him crashing to the ground.  But it feels so good to be wanted, to know that someone wants to be with him.  

David’s been with plenty of people, from the couple he brought home to his parents in high school, to enough one-night stands in college to populate a small village.  But now that he’s been out in the world for a few years, it’s getting harder and harder to meet people, even with his gallery job.  L.A.’s art scene is finite, and Sebastien seems to know everyone.  And no one wants to get on his bad side.  Sebastien seems to have made clear that David is his, which is sweet, in a way.  But also a little unnerving.

David can put up with Sebastien’s possessiveness.  He’s dealt with worse.  Love means accepting your partner for all that they are, and if that means taking the bad with the good, David can do it.  Besides, Sebastien is objectively attractive, and he seems to think David is too, at least based upon the number of photographs he’s taken of David.

Just thinking about their last photo session makes David feel more than a little uncomfortable.  David had, arguably, had a few too many tequila shots.  He didn’t usually like to get messy, but Sebastien loved him that way - loved to get him drunk and then drunker, and toss him into bed.  This time, after winding David up until he was hard and begging, Sebastien pulled out his leather handcuffs, and then got out his camera.  

David hasn’t seen the photographs.  He couldn’t even stay awake until Sebastien was done.  The next day, he asked Sebastien to promise that he’d keep them private, and Sebastien agreed easily.  David tells himself not to worry.  He trusts Sebastien.  He has to.

In the midst of his swirling thoughts, Alexis comes up behind him and puts her pointy chin on his shoulder.  “What are we looking at?”

He pushes away the memories of Sebastien getting him wasted and focuses on the present.  “I have nothing to wear,” he says, shrugging Alexis off and sitting himself down on the edge of his bed.

She frowns at him, then at his closet, which is, admittedly, full of clothes.  “I don’t think that’s true.”

“I have nothing <i>appropriate</i> to wear.”

“Appropriate for what?”  Alexis examines a fingernail, turning it this way and that as if there was something more interesting happening there than David’s current crisis.

“For dinner with Sebastien tonight.”

“Oooh, dinner!  That’s new.  Don’t you guys usually just, you know-” She makes a lewd gesture with her hands, and David cringes.  She’s not wrong.

“That’s rude, and no.  We don’t always just… we’ve had dinner lots of times.”

“Sure, David.”

“We have.  Except, not always, you know, before…”

Alexis makes a face.  “Eww, David.”

“If you’re not going to be helpful, please leave.”  His bedroom isn’t all that big, and he doesn’t need Alexis’ negative energy right now.

She perks up.  “You want my help?  We could go shopping!”

David considers.  His outfit for tonight has to be <i>right.</I>  Something that shows that David is perfect for Sebastien.  Not too much, not too little.  Maybe he should treat himself to something new.

“David?” His mother trills as she enters the room.  “What is the reason for all of this commotion?”

“He’s going out to dinner with Sebastien and he doesn’t have anything to wear,” Alexis answers.

Moria nods.  “Sebastian is an <i>artiste.</I> I can see why you would want your attire to convey the proper aesthetic.”

David rolls his eyes.  Sebastian is about as much of an artiste as he is - which is to say, barely - and his taste in clothing is far inferior to David’s own.  Still, he agrees with his mother.  His outfit has to send the right message tonight.

“Moira?  Children?”  Johnny enters the room, smiling genially at everyone.  “What’s going on?”

David groans.  Since they had to sell their Beverly Hills estate and move into a much smaller rental in Pasadena, he’s had way more family time than he’s used to.  It hasn’t been all bad, but he really doesn’t need his entire family’s opinion on what to wear tonight.

“David is just having a crisis about what to wear for his paramour,” Moira says.

“Oh my god you guys, that’s enough.  Alexis and I were just leaving.”  He grabs Alexis’ arm.  “Come on.”

Traffic is terrible, as always, but they finally make it to David’s favorite boutique, just off Rodeo Drive.  The interior of the store is done in calming, neutral tones, with overpriced fashions draped elegantly over obedient mannequins.   David stops for a moment and takes a long, deep, breath, allowing the distinctive scent of fine fabrics to center him.  

“Can I help you?”  A young man who looks as if he is barely out of high school approaches them, and David looks around to see if anyone else is available.

“We’re looking for something special,” Alexis says, shimmying up to the salesboy.  “For date night.”

The boy looks at the two of them, and David winces.  “She’s my sister,” he says.  “For god’s sake.  I’m not going on a date with her.  And besides, it’s not just any date.”

Alexis turns to him, eyes wide.  “What do you mean?”

David considers his options.  He’s already said too much, and Alexis will just keep at him until he spills.  If he’s wrong, it’s going to suck. If he’s right, Alexis will love it.  Either way, David needs the support.  He takes a deep breath and feels excitement tingling up and down his spine as he says the words.  “I think that maybe Sebastian is going to propose.”

After Alexis is done squealing like a rat whose tail is caught in a trap, the salesboy finally brings David something to try on.  But instead of the Helmut Lang hoodie he had asked to see, the boy brings him a green sweater.  “This just came in,” the boy says.  “I think it would look great on you.”

Alexis looks questioningly at David, who shakes his head.  “That’s a knockoff Zara, and it didn’t just come in - it’s based on a piece I saw in last year’s Vogue.  Are you kidding me?”

“Mr. Rose, I am so sorry.”  A tall man in an immaculate suit swans over to David, pushing the boy out of the way.  “Don’t mind Martin, he hasn’t been well.  Try this Neil Barrett piece, I think it will be much more to your liking.”

It is, in fact, an awesome black sweater with lightning bolts around the neck.  David loves it, but pales when he checks the price tag.

“Consider it a gift to one of our best customers,” the tall salesperson says, and beams obsequiously as he folds the gorgeous sweater carefully into a bag and hands it to David.

Alexis runs her hands up and down David’s arm as he propels her out of the store.  Once outside, they nearly trip over their own feet running around the corner, and burst out into laughter.  

“Clearly that man has no idea we’re not rich anymore,” David says.  

“Can we go into Chanel?” Alexis asks.  “I want to try it.  Maybe if I look sad they’ll give me a cute lil’ purse!”

*****

David checks his texts again as gets out of the car.  The restaurant isn’t one of Sebastien’s usual see-and-be-seen locations, but it’s where Sebastien told him to show up.

He straightens his shoulders and walks in.  It’s all pale wood and large paintings of flowers and vegetables, picking up on the farm-to-table vibe.  David regrets not googling the restaurant before he came, so could have at least set his expectations properly.  It seems like a place you’d take your aunt who is visiting from out of town and wants a wholesome California experience, not a setting for a romantic encounter.

“Good, David, you’re here.”  Sebastien appears next to him, gives him a quick kiss on the cheek, and signals to the host.  Soon they’re seated at a table in the middle of the room, menus in front of them.  David looks longingly at the cozier booths off to the side, but he doesn’t have a chance to say anything before their waiter appears offering them still or sparkling water.

Sebastien seems content enough, so David lets it go.  He settles himself in the chair and tries to catch Sebastien’s eye.  “This is nice,” he comments, aiming for a casual tone.  He needs to feel Sebastien out, see if there’s something else going on.  He’s not about to criticize Sebastien’s choice in restaurant and risk a fight.

“What?  Yeah, I guess.  My mother knows the owner.”  Sebastien shrugs off his latest overpriced yet still ratty-looking cardigan.  “Said she’d comp us a free meal if we mentioned the place on insta.”

David perks up.  Maybe this means Sebastien does have something monumental planned - what better PR then having your restaurant mentioned in emotional engagement photos?  David resists the urge to check his hair - he knows it’s still perfect, swept up in an impressive poof.  Sebastien doesn’t look like he’s dressed for photos, but then again, he hasn’t even noticed David’s new sweater.  It’s just not his thing.

Their server sets an impressive charcuterie platter down on the table .  David is just about to sample the delicious looking goat cheese when Sebastien clears his throat.  “There’s something we need to talk about,” he says, his eyes finding David’s.

David feels his heart start to pound.  It’s coming, he thinks.  Keep breathing.  This is the most important moment of your life.  Your dreams are coming true.  He presses his palms into his thighs and leans forward.

“I know you can probably tell,” Sebastien continues.  “Because, you know, we’re here.”  Sebastien waves his hand languidly at their surroundings.

“Mmm, yes.”  Go on, David thinks.  Ask me.  I’m ready.

“Cool.”  Sebastien picks a single cornichon off the plate between them and pops it in his mouth.  “I’m glad you understand.”

David blinks.  “Um, understand what?”

“I was talking with my mother, after we met up the other night.”

At the tedious gallery event.  “Yes, I remember.”

“And she reminded me that I’m not getting any younger.”  Sebastien laughs and gives David a strange look.  “You’re certainly not either.”

“Right…” David is barely a year older than Sebastien, so he’s not sure what that look was for.  

“Anyway, if I want the future I’ve always planned on, it’s time to get serious.”

Finally, something that makes sense.  <i>Serious.</i>  Like marriage.  “Yes of course,” David breathes out.  “I completely agree.  It’s time to get serious.  So…” He inhales and slides to the edge of his chair, ready for Sebastien to drop to one knee.

“So we have to break up.”

David feels his heart fly out into space and hang, suspended.  “Wait, what?”

“I can’t just fuck around L.A. forever, taking pictures of every twink that I jump into bed with and hoping for my big break.  Besides, there are already rumblings of lawsuits.  I figure I’ll go get a law degree, have some ammunition ready for when people come whining at me.  My dad and his dad both went to Harvard, I can get in no problem.  Then I’ll have plenty of cash and attack dogs at my beck and call.”

David’s heart crashes to the floor, through the floor.  Lands somewhere in the basement with the broken dinnerware.  “But…”

“Don’t make a big deal out of it, David.  You didn’t think I was going to put up with your bullshit forever, did you?  It’s not as if you have any connections anymore, not since your family got ripped off.”  Sebastien stands up and grabs his sweater.  “Make sure to post pics of your food on insta unless you want to pay full price for this mediocre crap.  Later.”

David sits silently at the table, holding himself as still as he can.  He doesn’t know why he’s surprised.  He’s no one’s idea of a serious partner.
