do you ever think about Carlos stepping right up to TK and holding him from behind while putting his lips to his ear and going hmm?

You may be wondering: What is a reverse bang?

In a typical fandom bang, fic is written first and then art is created for the fic. In a reverse bang like this one, the art is created first and the fic is then written based on the art. Creators will have a two month head start to create any of the accepted forms of art because submitting their creations for our writers to choose from. Once matched, writers will have two months to work with their artists to create a fic with a minimum word count of 2.5k.

This is from chapter 1 of BF Fic, which I think I'm going to start posting on Monday...

In which TK needs some comforting...but may end up having to provide some himself:

“I’m such a mess,” TK laughs without smiling. “Must have been a real treat coming home to this.”

“Hey. No. Look at me,” Carlos commands softly, even though TK is pinned beneath him and can do nothing but. Running his fingers through his husband’s floof of hair, Carlos goes on, “You are more beautiful to me today than ever before.”

“Shut up.”

“It’s true though.”

“It’s not.”

“Yes it is.”

“I’m a mess. The house is a mess. I couldn’t get Jonah settled, so I couldn’t really unpack and start making things nicer. We have peeling wallpaper. Weeds growing in the gutter. The porch roof–”

“I’m going to fix up the porch!” Carlos declares grandly, for some reason deepening his voice. “That’s a me job, okay?”

“And I found three snails in the downstairs bathroom, so they’re getting in somehow.”

Carlos rises up from TK slightly, hovering over him. In a much smaller voice, he says, “Snails?”

Forever & Always

Finally posting this! Had so much fun writing this so I hope you enjoy reading it!

T | 1.2K | College AU

Graduation is months away and TK can't stop thinking about the future and the reality it brings on their relationship, worrying about what will happen to them. Like always, Carlos is there to help soothe his worries.

or: I had a conversation with one of my friends (who is also my angst enabler) where she told me about a conversation she had with her bf now that we're really close to graduating college and went on to tell me that it would be a good writing idea and told me to use it and somehow I came up with this

[sunflowertarlos]

Got some inspo for a tarlos oneshot so here's my first seven sentence sunday! Just need to add some final touches before it's ready so will probably be posting this soon 🥹

“What brought this up anyways?” Carlos asked, looking down at him.

TK frowned, sitting back up, but was quickly pulled in to lean against his boyfriend’s shoulder. “I don’t really know,” he shrugged, looking up at the other man. “Graduation has been the main topic for, well, everyone, and then I started thinking about us and how I don’t want to lose you”

“You won't,” Carlos immediately replied without hesitation.

“Babe-” TK sighed, but was quickly cut off.

“No.” Carlos shook his head, “No matter what happens between us I can promise you that you will never lose me”

thanks @ironheartwriter @tellmegoodbye @heartstringsduet !! I see we’re going with heat today

“What’s your problem?”

“Nothing,” TK mutters as he slurps more of his meal. It’s impossible to drink a broth when he’s mad and now he just feels like an idiot.

“Just say what you want to say, TK,” Carlos demands, sounding fed up too, and TK sets his bowl on the table in front of him before he bursts.

“We haven’t seen each other all day! We won’t see each other at all tomorrow!” he points out. ”I’m trying to talk to you and spend time with you and you’re acting like it’s an inconvenience.”

Carlos looks down and away, poking around his bowl as he subtly shakes his head. TK wishes he could read his mind, though it probably isn’t super positive towards TK right now. That’s a shake of annoyance, something Carlos wished TK would’ve let be. “Sorry I’m not in the mood for chit chat.”

Now he’s pissed too, and it only riles TK up more. “It’s not making small talk with a stranger. I’m your husband.”

“And I don’t force you to hang out with me when it’s clear you’re not in the mood to socialize,” Carlos snaps, and TK’s heart drops

oh… not that kind of heat?

part 2 of the sleep comic series 🌙

[sunflowertarlos]

Hi Maddie!! I wish you would write a fic where TK never ends up in Austin, he goes to California instead after hearing about his namesake from Owen. He becomes a surf instructor after leaving firefighting. He and Carlos meet while Carlos is on vacation after a less than amicable breakup. Carlos learns what TK does for a living and takes surf lessons from him. They fall madly in love and live happily ever after. If youre still taking requests. I love your fics! Thank you!

thank you so so much, and thank you for your patience with this <3 this is my last one, i appreciate all the prompts and everyone who read <3

The sunrise shimmers in pinks and oranges over the calm water, his face warmed by the early light as he dangles his legs in the Pacific. For whatever reason, it always makes him think of home—of the sharp contrast to everything he knew New York to be. There, it was cool breezes and the thrum of traffic when he stepped out into the street, the noises of a bustling city never ceasing, even before the sun broke over the horizon. Here, there’s serenity; the salty sea breeze and the lapping of the tide against the shore. There’s always been a tug in his gut, sure—something like loneliness looming over his shoulders. Even still, though, he wouldn’t change any of it.

Like he does every morning before a long day of classes, he murmurs quietly to the ocean. He thinks of his father’s brother, the first Tyler, the one who never made it to his teens, the one who inspired TK to live every day to the fullest. He thinks of his mother, and her gentle pride. They’re with him always, and he trusts them to watch over him as he brings newbies to the beach and guides them into learning the sport he’s grown to love.

Today, though, he asks for a little more guidance.

He can still feel fingerprints low on his hips, where eager hands tucked under the board shorts he prefers when he doesn’t need to be in his wetsuit. He can still feel the tingle of lips against his, and curls under his palms. Carlos. He’s from Texas and he’s only here for a week with his sisters and the scariest thing about him is that he could absolutely ruin TK. He probably already has, given the fact that TK can’t stop thinking about the man passed out in the hotel suite he’d invited TK back to, one with a beautiful view of the pier. The one TK crept out of this morning, six days into…whatever they’re doing, his head spinning and heart racing. The last time he got close to someone, they broke his heart. He doesn’t know if can handle it again.

With a sigh, TK glances down at his waterproof watch. He’s scheduled with an early class today, a work retreat for some tech company, and he can’t afford to be late. Even if his love life just took a dramatic spin from painfully dry to a little reckless, he can’t let his work suffer for it. And so he paddles back to the shore, thumbing over the little T branded into the top of his board, and stares in confusion at the familiar body waiting in the sand.

“Carlos?”

“I figured I’d find you out here somewhere,” Carlos says, slowly getting up and dusting sand off his swim trunks, the soft golden glow of the morning dancing across his features. His eyes had been filled with such sorrow when TK met him, a sort of pain that TK recognized immediately, and now they’re clear and bright and beautiful. He’s beautiful, in one of TK’s t-shirts from Pacific Park that sits a little tight across his shoulders and curls fluffy from sleep and the breeze. “I thought we would talk this morning, but then you weren’t there when I woke up, so…”

“I’m sorry,” TK bites the inside of his cheek, as he feels saltwater drip down his body. The facade they’ve built around their days of fun is clearly crumbling around them—quickly. It makes his head spin.

“I can’t do this, TK,” Carlos says, his voice quieter than before. A seagull caws in the distance. “I leave tomorrow night, so if we—if this is done, can we call it done? Because I can’t get any closer to you without falling even harder.”

“You shouldn’t,” TK says, the sand clumping under his wet feet. “You shouldn’t fall for me.”

Carlos frowns. “Well, it’s a little late for that.”

In a flash, TK thinks back on the past few days, and how they’ve been the happiest he’s had in a long time. The lights of the pier at night reflected in Carlos’ eyes; the look of pride on his face when he mastered his balance and stayed upright on his board for the first time; the way he tasted of cotton candy and lime when they’d kissed for the first time. The way he’d been so vulnerable with TK, trusting him to listen about his breakup, about his sisters planning a last-minute excursion to distract him even though he hated being away from home.

‘s funny, though, Carlos had murmured, his breath warm against TK’s neck as they sat together on the beach, curled in each other’s arms. Because as soon as I met you it’s like..it’s like my body knew I didn’t have to be homesick anymore.

When TK doesn’t answer, Carlos moves to walk away, hurt dancing in his irises. He panics and steps closer, resting a hand on Carlos’ shoulder.

“I don’t wanna call it done,” TK admits, his heart racing. “It’s crazy, but I think I’ve been homesick, too. Just waiting for you to come here and make it right ever since dad went to Texas and I came here.”

There’s a beat, before he continues on, still speaking to Carlos’ back.

“I want to keep knowing you, Carlos. I want to get to love you.”

It’s probably the most reckless thing he’s ever done. He’s known Carlos for six days. He’s known him as someone on vacation. He’s known him as someone recently heartbroken, someone who’s probably not thinking straight, someone who will run when TK ruins—

Carlos whirls around, and they’re close enough for their noses to bump.

“I want that, too,” Carlos is saying, and TK can’t not kiss him. He cups his face and pulls him in, and the kiss tastes of the salt of the sea and the warmth of the sun and maybe, under it all, a lot like coming home.

[sunflowertarlos]

February 14, 2020: TK didn’t mean to end up at Carlos’ tonight. he doesn’t even realize what day it is until he’s grabbing his phone after pulling his pants back on. suddenly, Carlos taking extra time to kiss him and sharing a handful of chocolates with him after makes sense. he waits for a flash of panic, but it never comes

February 14, 2021: Carlos doesn’t know what kind of gifts they’re doing. They didn’t discuss it, and now Carlos is waiting in his kitchen for TK to come over, wondering if the card, flowers, and dinner is too much or not enough. TK looks exhausted when he comes through the door, and Carlos almost packs the whole thing up until he sees the way TK lights up at the sight and pulls his own gift out from his bag

February 14, 2022: the first loft Valentine’s Day is celebrated with a candlelit dinner and slow love making

February 14, 2023: they pour over wedding plans together. to feel somewhat festive, they figure out their flowers tonight. they decide they’re not a fan of flower arches

February 14, 2024: it’s not what TK would’ve expected for their first day of love as husbands. there’s no wild sex, no whipped cream or chocolate or flowers. but there is a dinner they eat together, and there is cuddling on the couch. though it doesn’t lead to more than a few tired kisses, it’s enough for TK

February 14, 2025: they experience Jonah on his first and true sugar buzz. TK jokes that it’s a trial run for Halloween, and Carlos has so much pink frosting from the cupcakes they made smeared on his shirt that he’s too tired to argue. he gets his energy back after the little one has gone to sleep and TK drags him to the bathroom to clean up

[sunflowertarlos]

so true <3

[sunflowertarlos]

What are you blushing for Akaashi?

Been cooking something up for @bokuakaevents2025 together with @sunflowertarlos

Full fic and art will be posted on February 14th.
