Summary
Over the past two and a half decades, David had had what felt like millions of minor injuries, and a few sprains and breaks. There was even that one time when David was twenty-two that he was pretty sure his soulmate had gotten a concussion somehow, but he had done his best to chalk that awful pain in his head to the hangover he had given himself.
Through every scrape and scratch, he pushed down the thought of his soulmate, not daring to let him think about the topic for longer than a second.
Or the Soulmate AU where everything is the same except everyone has a soulmate and you can feel your soulmate’s physical pain.

Summary
He starts a text to David that he deletes, then writes again, then deletes. There aren’t words; if there are, he doesn’t have them.
The balance is too delicate and he’s already watched David’s faith in him disintegrate before his own eyes; the words matter.

Summary
“Um,” his voice cracks and he clears his throat and tries again, “Um, Patrick can’t come into work today?”
“Oh?” Alexis asks, keeping the question carefully nonchalant which really only makes things worse. If she’s sparing his feelings then shit surely must be hitting the fan.
“Yeah.”
“Did he say why?” Again, meticulously neutral.
“No.”
Or, the morning after Grad Night goes somewhat differently when Patrick gets a call from home.

Summary
David trails his hand against the smooth concrete surface of the silo wall on his way back down the ramp from Patrick’s office, thinking about their conversation about upstairs. It’s terrifying when you first see it, Patrick had said. David closes his eyes, putting one foot and then the other on the concrete. He imagines he is walking on the road his family took to get to the silo their last day upstairs. He tries to picture the dull light, the gray-green trees, the warm air closing around him. He tries to focus on the silence, on the tap-scrape pulse of his rubber soles on the pavement. He imagines walking as far as his legs will take him.
He didn’t even realize how badly he wanted to be free of this place until he sat down in Patrick’s office.
OR A Schitt's Creek post-apocalyptic AU.

Summary
The moment he saw David, Patrick's heart started pounding. Hey, I think I’m in love with you felt dangerously close to being something he wanted to say out loud, even though he knew it would be a terrible idea. Especially this early on. Especially with his business partner. Especially because he’d only recently figured out the whole liking other men thing. Especially because now he was officially—having sex—with the other men. Man. With David. This is fast, he thought.
*****
A story about sex, intimacy, and falling in love way before you meant to.

Summary
"This is their last night in this place they grew together and became permanent. He held Patrick on a couch over there, packed up now, before he came out to his parents. They laid in this bed for hours after, talking softly about what it all meant. Over there is the door Patrick pushed him up against after they got engaged, kissing him so passionately David thought he might faint. They’ve spent so many nights here, important ones and ordinary ones, and all of a sudden David feels kind of choked up, overwhelmed by the enormity of it all."
Or, the first night they spent in Patrick's apartment, and the last.

Summary
and there are some like us,
just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
walking as though we were really going somewhere,
walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
something that will make us smile with a strange new
happiness, a lost but recovered joy.- Raymond Souster, “Yonge Street Saturday Night”

Summary
It arrived on a Saturday afternoon. David approached it warily, a looming presence in the corner of their new house where he had planned on a tasteful seating grouping. Having missed the spectacle of its arrival, it almost felt to David as if it had simply appeared. An ominous warning that his worst fear may well be realized: the person you marry does not stay the person you marry.
"Relax, David. It’s just a piano," Patrick says.
Or, a little bit of sentimental fluff about how Patrick learns to play the piano.

Summary
It’s hard for David to accept love, to believe when someone claims to feel it in regards to himself. And Patrick, thankfully, knows this. And has told him over and over the depth of his feelings and slowly David has learned to trust, but there’s still scar tissue on his heart that sometimes aches…and makes him question. But fuck, as he’d looked around this apartment, the answers were everywhere. Patrick had made a place for him here, without having been asked.
