    Summary

    David lets his fingers trail across the smooth black and white keys. The wood of the case and the keybed are chipped in places, and the metal of the sustain pedal is worn, but all things considered, the piano seems to be in good shape. He picks out a scale to check the tuning, his fingers operating purely on muscle memory. It has nothing on the sound of the Steinway grand that used to sit in the Rose mansion, but it’s still nice enough to make for a good anniversary present for Patrick, who recently told David that he missed playing.

    “It should be in good shape. I don’t play, myself, but my daughter does,” Mr. McCreary says. “Do you play?”

    David looks down and smiles sadly at the keys.

    “Not anymore.”

    David was a talented pianist as a kid, but gave it up because of family pressure. Several years into their marriage, Patrick helps him rediscover his love for playing.

    Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story where David rediscovers his love for the piano with Patrick's gentle support. Excellent confrontation with the Roses where David stands up for himself and a sweet duet at the end. Gorgeous writing!

    Summary

    With a grimace he lifts the top bun off the burger and sure enough, there are three offending slices of pickle in the middle of the burger. He picks them off and puts them on the side of his plate, and only after he’s returned the bun to its rightful place does he look up to see David watching him, his whole face a study in barely concealed amusement.

    David and Patrick's evolving relationship with pickles as a love language. Makes me cry every time I read it because it's so beautiful. Amazing writing.

    Fantastic continuation of Conversion universe. Patrick goes to therapy, grows so incredibly much as a person, gets the coming out he deserves and has hot, tender sex with David. So well written. I adore these versions of David and Patrick!

    Summary

    Patrick Brewer had grown up within the confines of the Catholic church.

    He was baptised in the nave of the St Celeste church, received his first holy communion in tandem with his cousins and attended the small primary school adjacent to it until he was old enough for high school. He then joined his cousins and the other children of the town, travelling thirty minutes by bus to Ingleside to attend the Catholic high school, where the cohorts were split by gender.

    When he wins a coveted Baseball Scholarship to play and study at the University of Toronto, he is matched with an enigmatic roommate, David Rose. David upends Patrick's life (in the best possible way) and takes him on a journey of self-discovery he hadn't realised he desperately needed.

    Phenomenal story about Patrick coming to terms with his sexuality and reconciling that with his religious beliefs. David is an emotionally intelligent, fantastic friend throughout. Marcy and Clint are amazing as always and Schitt's Creek is a haven for all our beloved characters. Difficult subject matter written with such love and compassion in the true spirit of Schitt's Creek.

    Or, Patrick wins a ticket onto the first civilian voyage to populate New Earth, and he's determined to face his fears and change his life. The one thing he didn't plan on was David Rose.

    Wonderful AU where David and Patrick become friends and then fall in love while traveling to a new planet. The writing is so gorgeous and the world building is excellent.
