follow your heartbeat to freedom by withkissesfour (rated G) He’s always prided himself on making decisions, making them well, making them wisely, but it’s rare that they’re not clouded, directed, guided by the overwhelming need to be liked, an eagerness to please, a desire to be nice, to always be as nice as he can be; and he can’t figure out whether he’s made the right choice once he’s made it. Patrick makes choices, in four parts.

getting down to business by etben (rated E) They’ve been dating for almost a month, and Patrick still hasn’t even seen David naked, much less had anything approaching sex. It’s completely unacceptable. He had more game than this in high school, which is pretty sad, all things considered. Three and a half weeks of his hands and his imagination is more than enough, thanks. OR: David and Patrick have some alone time. Patrick has some ideas.

steel and oak by helvetica_upstart (rated E) “Would you have picked me up in a bar, if I’d been there back when you were looking for randoms?” Patrick asks, pupils blown wide. “I’ve never done that before, I don’t even know what it would be like, but. I can imagine. I’d want it.” or, David has some idle talents; Patrick has some fantasies that would put them to use.

All These Minutes Passing by helvetica_upstart *Stevie/Alexis* (rated E) Alexis runs a fingertip from Stevie’s collarbone down her chest until it brushes under the lace edge of the costume slip’s bodice. “You’re sweaty, Ms. Bowles.”Stevie isn’t that sweaty, but she’s not about to derail this game. She says, “You know how I am with dancing.”“Sweat’s bad for silk. You should take it off.”

Looking For You Everywhere by houdini74 (rated T) The rom-com AU that David would definitely make Patrick watch. Or David and Patrick meet for the first time in a bar and then on a train and then in a park before being separated by circumstances.

Strange Brew by codswallop (rated E) “We’ve got to call that vendor,” Patrick said. “Did you keep her card? You didn’t throw it away, did you?” “Um,” David said, running his hands down his chest now, his arms, oh god Patrick’s arms. “I don’t…I think so? Hang on, though, could we just…explore this, for a few minutes, maybe, because it’s actually kind of—” “David.” Patrick came over and gripped him by the shoulders, looking very serious, and David was in awe; that was hot, that was very hot, that I-mean-business-NOW look on his own face. He’d have to try it, practice it in a mirror, once he got it back.

i’m alright with a slow burn by goingmywaydoll (rated T) “You totally favor Patrick.” “I do not.” “Oh my god, David, yes, you do! You think I didn’t notice how you always take the leftovers of his bakes instead of anyone else’s?” “He’s a good baker!” David hates that his voice hitches. “‘He’s a good baker’?” Alexis repeats. “You can just say that you’re friends, the world won’t explode if you make a friend other than Stevie.”

like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass by wardo_wedidit (rated M) Five weddings David and Patrick don’t have, and one they do.

shades of blue. by falconeggs (rated M) Actor and Music Superstar, Patrick Brewer, releases his highly anticipated new album, Shades of Blue. (Alexis Rose teases that it’s a visual album.)

Through Time by houdini74 (rated T) All that mattered was finding out when he was and figuring out how he could get back to David. Or Everything is the same except Patrick can travel through time.

You Could Be The One by bigficenergy (rated M) David has big feelings about Patrick, and he’s listening to a lot of Carly Rae Jepsen about it.

Your Wings Prepare to Fly by ICMezzo (rated E) Wings on a human? Incorrect.David Rose had them anyway, at least sometimes. But given that he loathed them all the time, with every luxuriously moisturized cell in his body, he did whatever it took to keep them hidden away. It hadn’t even been particularly difficult—at least, not until Patrick Brewer started looking.
