Happy Sunday <3 I hope you all had time to read the wonderful contributions of everyone for Carlos Whump for @lire-casander and leave some comments 🥰 Here is a tiny snippet of my upcoming contribution to it.

thanks for the tag @carlos-in-glasses 💞

“Not now, Mister,” TK says, turning around to him. “I have crêpes to make and a fiancé to feed.”

Enjoying their teasing mood, this normalcy after the heavy morning he had, Carlos steps closer again and tilts his head. He brings his hands back to TK’s hips, thumbs tracing the soft space beside his pelvis. “Yeah? It seems like your fiancé is a lucky man.”

TK snuggles in. He kisses the hinge of Carlos’ jaw before looking at him through pale eyelashes. “That, he is. So you better hide in the shower before he comes and sees you flirt with me.”

“Oh, does he get jealous?”

“Very.”

It breaks Carlos’ pretense and he laughs as he pulls TK against him. “Very? Very jealous?”

TK giggles too now, his breath blowing against Carlos’ shoulder. “Carlos! Get your ass into the shower and let me cook. We can roleplay a secret affair and jealous lovers after breakfast!”

And won’t that be perfect?

The final chapter of I Was Thinking About Your Mouth will be posted on Sunday, and Carlos cannot believe his lovely ears:

“TK, we’re both–” Carlos tries again. Maybe TK ejaculating so hard that his testicle receded is also playing a part in what’s unfolding right now.

“It’s not drama – it’s not drama!” TK implores him, knocking Carlos back with his insistence. “It’s love. The kind that you can’t get away from.”

Carlos stares at TK, into his crying eyes. And he sees it. He hears it. The difference. This isn’t like any of those times before when TK proposed independent from coherent thought, like it came flying out of his body as reactionary as a sneeze.

This time, he means it.

TK puts his hand on the side of Carlos’ face, forcing him to maintain eye contact, as if it were possible to look away right now.

“And baby, my life has been scarred with loss,” TK goes on, the shiver in his body passing into Carlos like an electric tingle. “And at times it’s felt inescapable.” A city brought to its knees when he was seven. His parents divorcing. Addiction and heartbreak so bad he’d wanted to stop his heart completely. His breakup with Carlos that felt like floating untethered in a black vacuum. His mother’s sudden death. “But that’s the risk of love, right?” TK shrugs with a small smile. A smile for all the years spent trying to work this very thing out.

starting early this week because i actually have something for once! this wip wednesday is brought to you by my new laptop and the (almost) 4k I have written last night/this morning.

this is from Not Now But Soon (aka., the 10 Things I Hate About You AU):

“This bed is not big enough,” Carlos huffs, shifting his weight and partially sliding off TK's chest. He’s sort of right, TK thinks. At least, in the sense that it’s a standard issue single bed and TK almost fell out of it when they first got in, but it’s also beyond perfect. Perfect in the sense that the lack of space means Carlos’ warmth is everywhere, his body blanketing TK’s own and TK reaches for him, urging him back on top.  “No, I like it,” he protests, biting his bottom lip as Carlos gives him a disbelieving look. “I like feeling you on top of me.” “I’m not…squishing you?” Carlos asks. “Sorry, I—” “What if I like being squished?” TK challenges, batting his eyelids in a way that he hopes is alluring. Carlos grins and kisses him again, lips red and puffy from their commitment to staying attached at the mouth for the last thirty minutes. “I’ve never had someone in this bed before,” he admits softly. “I don't want to scare you off. I want you to come back.” TK freezes. “You’ve never—” “I mean, I’ve not never ever, I just….” “Never here?” “Never here.” “So,” TK says slowly. “That time I made a joke about changing the sheets…” “You don’t need to worry about that,” Carlos confirms, and the sheepish look on his face coupled with the adorable pink flush of his cheeks makes TK feel completely unhinged.

WIP WEDNESDAY

Tagged by @heartstringsduet @thisbuildinghasfeelings @alrightbuckaroo and @orchidscript! This is from a fic I started ages ago that takes place at the "ranch" or wherever it is that Andrea and Gabriel live.

-

Carlos is halfway down the stairs when he hears a familiar voice. 

“And then she said she had sent the flowers to herself to make him jealous! Even though she knew she was allergic!”

“What?” Andrea says with a gasp. “Why would anyone—oh, Carlitos!”

TK turns in his barstool at the kitchen island and smiles at him. “Hey, you.” 

“Hey.” It’s ridiculous that Carlos can feel the pounding of his heart at the sight of him, but in his defense he’s barely seen TK all week. Actually, he has no defense. Even on a normal day, seeing TK walk through the door of their home makes every atom in his body sigh in relief. “How was traffic?”

“Oh, you know,” TK says with a smile. He's wearing a plaid button-down shirt that brings out the green in his eyes. His hand alights on Carlos’s lower back as Carlos presses a kiss to the side of his head. 

“They’re never going to finish that construction,” Andrea says, shaking her head. 

TK scratches Carlos’s back lightly, as if saying hi, and Carlos misses him instantly when he pulls away. 

"Could you grab me another bowl, mijo?" Andrea says, and TK starts to stand up but Carlos touches him on the shoulder as he moves behind him to reach the cabinet. "Gracias."

"De nada," he says, kissing her on the cheek.

"Is this enough or should I keep going?" TK asks her, indicating the cutting board of chopped vegetables in front of him. 

"I think that's plenty," she tells him.

TK stands up to hand her the cutting board and knife, and Carlos snags a piece of celery from it before she sees him. TK bites his lip to hide a grin, and Carlos waggles his eyebrows at him.

fic masterlist under the cut!

LONE STAR FIC MASTERLIST

jet-setters | 3.9k | e

"Babe. You cannot seriously be wearing your swimsuit in the jacuzzi. It's bad luck." Carlos and TK take their second honeymoon, and TK is a spoiled brat (affectionate).

monday | 17.5k | m

"Don't do something you're going to regret." Carlos thinks of TK, dying or dead. TK in another cold, antiseptic hospital room. TK, alone and terrified. He can't just do nothing.

with a heatwave hanging over austin and tk's life in the grasp of a crazed bank robber, carlos recalls the moments of weakness that defined one summer during his youth. torn again between duty and conscience, carlos seeks to amend his past mistakes, even if it means risking his husband, his career, and his life.

and salt the earth behind you | 16.9k | m

He wants more than anything to feel that way again, seen in his entirety rather than as a collection of fragments. It’s why he brought Carlos here with him, after all; so he could see TK lit from another angle, so he could form a fuller picture. But every slant of light casts a shadow. And Carlos is not Gwyn. And as much as he might want to, there are dark places that TK can’t will himself to lead him into.

six months after his mother’s death, tk brings carlos to visit new york. when nothing is quite as he remembers it, tk must ask the question: has the city changed, or has he?

threadbare | 2.1k | t

Selfishly, he prefers it the other way around. He’d rather be the one twisted up on the cot, guarding the steady beep of someone else’s heart. Stitched up neatly, all his mess on the inside where it should be. He’s always been better with other people’s messes, anyway. His own tend to tangle, forming knots in his stomach that choke him like hairballs.

another 4.04 coda, because there can never be enough.

one of these days | 12.8k | e

He wants his second shot at a life with TK to be so brimming with happiness and light that the inevitable storm knocks him off his feet all over again. He’s so tired of planning for the worst; it’s turned him hard and cynical. This time, he wants to believe.

everything we didn't see in season 3 episode 4.

Thanks for the tags @nisbanisba @ironheartwriter and @strandnreyes!

I feel like I've shared half the 3x13 tag at this point especially since I had so much of it already written a year ago, but this will be the last snippet since it's finally almost done!

-

TK kisses him on the cheek before he goes, and Carlos feels lower than a speck of dirt on the pavement as he calls unconvincingly after them to have fun.

He stands motionless for what feels like a long time after the door shuts behind them, echoes of the conversation percussing like mallets in his mind. Ten minutes ago he hadn’t even known TK was having a bad day, and then it all spun around him like a tornado before he could catch it and now TK’s out the door and Carlos is alone, reeling and wondering if TK was hiding it from him all day on purpose.

He would driven TK to his meeting, if TK had asked. He would have dropped everything to be there for him, if TK had asked. But TK didn’t ask, because Carlos wasn’t the one he wanted to do those things. As the dust finally settles around him, Carlos covers his face with his hands and closes his suddenly stinging eyes. He abandons the rest of his yoga routine and flops instead, small and stupid, onto the couch.

He knows he can be overbearing. He knows he’s controlling, TK jokes about it sometimes but Carlos knows the teasing comes from a place of reality even though it’s loving and fond. He’s just always thought they fit like puzzle pieces because TK liked Carlos the way he is. He thought TK liked needing him just as much as Carlos likes being needed. He thought where for someone else he might be too much, for TK he’s just the right amount. He knows TK pretends, sometimes, that he needs help changing the batteries on the smoke detectors or lifting something heavy, just so that Carlos can be the one helping him. They both know he’s pretending, and Carlos always kisses him after, and Carlos thought they both liked it that way. Now he wonders.

He was right here. In the middle of the night he was right there, all day long he was right there, it would have been considerably less effort for TK to just step up to him and snuggle into Carlos’s arms and tell him about whatever’s been bothering him. Cooper didn’t need to drop everything, Cooper didn’t need to Google meeting times and locations and get in his car and drive over here. Carlos was already here; TK could’ve had someone to confide in hours ago if he’d wanted that.

It makes Carlos feel so many awful things about himself to accept the fact that TK didn’t want that; didn’t want him. Old insecurities creep back in – the kids on the playground who teased him, his shining and perfect older sisters and impressive male cousins who he could never live up to, the jokes he knows his colleagues tell behind his back. His father’s pitying laugh when Carlos said at 16 that he wanted to be a cop, calling him soft a full year before he even knew Carlos was going to disappoint them in a whole different way.

Carlos digs his fingertips into the corners of his closed eyes and feels, suddenly, as if he’s surrounding by a chorus of taunting ghosts that trap him and consume him, chewing him up and spitting him out and leaving him to shrivel and fade away.

“Talk me through helping you?” Carlos asks, ignoring him.

He maneuvers TK onto the closed toilet seat, cursing as the wound keeps on leaking, bright red. TK raises his arm and says, “Like this, remember? Up?” and then snorts.

There is no part of Carlos that understands how all this happened. How this all derailed so quickly, how he couldn’t keep the people he loves safe when it mattered most. Helplessness matches the anger roaming through his body with no escape, but he extinguishes both with a few shallow breaths.

In.

Out.

In

TKishurtbecauseofyouheisbleeding—

Out.

“Hey?” he asks gently, tipping TK’s head up by his chin. “If you refuse to go to the hospital, I need Doctor TK right now to help me with a patient.”

“I’m a paramedic,” TK mumbles back, frowning. “Wow. I actually am. I’m actually a paramedic.”

“Yes, and you know how to fix people. Help me fix you?”

“Do I know how to fix anything?” TK looks at the ragged, bleeding slashes that run parallel to the bones in his inner forearm. “I hurt people today.”

Sliding into nice ask week at the last moment! If you could send Tarlos to one place you’ve travelled to where would it be?

Ooh thank you for the question! ❤️ I hope you'll forgive what might be a quite obvious or basic answer, but I'd send them to New York. I loved New York when I was there - and I love fics where they have both travelled there and are working through TK's feelings about being back.

(Looking at you, Emerald Palace Snack Shop by your fine self @paperstorm, The Lovely April by @ladytessa74, and salt the earth behind you by @safeashousespdf @safeaswrites, 29 Going on 30 by @alrightbuckaroo, The kind you can't get away from by @heartstringsduet , I'd Think You Were Still Around by @strandnreyes and also (sorry) Fire Island by me lol. There are many others but those are what fell into my brain just now!)

One of my main objectives was to see the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, because it's a key feature in Angels in America here and here, which means everything to me, and I have projected onto Carlos that it means everything to him too. So I'd like for him to see that and the museums otherwise be led around by TK and have a stand-off with any former enablers they run into. I'd want Carlos to like New York, but nowhere near as much as he likes Austin.

God look at him here 😭
