WIP WORKING WEEK PART 1: THE RING-IN (AGAIN) (not sure if this is 57 sentences exactly but here you go - TK, Carlos and Nancy go to a spin cycle class, and TK and Carlos assess the quality of the restrooms).

The spin cycle class is exactly as TK expects – sweaty, loud and full of middle aged women who are far better at riding a stationary bike than he is. On the upside, he gets to sneak looks at Carlos every thirty seconds and appreciate another perfect part of his husband’s physique: the way the muscles in his shoulders flex as he shifts the distribution of his weight, the tight swell of his ass in workout shorts, the way his skin looks golden in the dim lights, glittering with sweat. 

On the downside, so does everybody else.

Carlos is so distracting that the instructor has trouble maintaining control over the class. Despite their spin bike prowess, many of the women seem to be gradually losing interest in the class as Carlos gets increasingly sweaty. At some point, the music gets turned up, as does the instructor’s mic, trying to redirect attention to the fact that they’re supposed to be changing their resistance every few minutes. On a quick glance, TK suspects a fair few people haven’t gone up a level for half the class.

TK isn’t typically the jealous type. In fact, he feels vindicated by the attention Carlos gets because he finds the man borderline irresistible, and being in love with such a gorgeous creature has made him do some pretty insane things. Even so, there’s a limit to how much appreciation he can endure before he feels the need to savagely stake his claim.

“Stop looking like you want to murder that poor woman in her sleep,” Nancy says through laboured breaths. They’re just about to get back out of the saddle, although TK has sort of lost which part of the class they’re up to.

“Her jaw is practically on the floor,” TK mutters. “Do you think she could pick it up one of these days?”

“You can’t seriously be jealous of Janice over there,” Nancy snorts. “Have you forgotten that your husband is completely obsessed with you? He bought you a pet lizard the other day.”

“Bearded dragon,” TK corrects. “And the fact that Carlos loves me isn’t going to stop me informing the entire class that he’s gay and he’s mine.”

Nancy rolls her eyes, blinking as the sweat from her brow appears to momentarily blind her. “You need to cool down,” she says drily. “Go outside and then come back in when you’re ready to play nicely with the other children.”

“What? And look like I suck?!” TK protests. “I’m not giving Janice the satisfaction.”

“You do kinda suck,” Nancy mutters, “also – and I say this in the nicest way possible – no one is looking at you.”

“I’ve changed my mind,” TK snipes as he stops pedalling and hops off the spin bike, plucking his water bottle from the holder like it’s personally offended him. “Also, you suck.”

“Don’t forget your towel!” Nancy snickers, and then wobbles dangerously on her bike as TK pulls it off with a flourish. He feels like a matador tempting a bull, because the instructor gives him a very dirty look.

TK has to admit, once he’s back in the cool, heavily air-conditioned hallway, he starts to feel a lot better. There’s something about getting sweaty in a room full of other sweaty people that grosses him out a bit and he’s admittedly not the best at being told what to do. Unless it’s at his job, but that’s because he respects his father and Tommy more than he respects most people. A hell of a lot more than he respects any spin cycle instructor, at least.

“Hey,” Carlos says, dropping down onto the bench seat next to him. “What’s up? Are you okay?”

TK takes one look at him and wishes he didn’t, because the concern written into Carlos’ expression combined with his sweat-slicked curls and the big, irresistible brown eyes renders him completely weak.

“Yeah,” he replies. “Just sick of how good you look. Also, I don’t like spin cycle.”

Carlos arches an eyebrow. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“Yes, you did,” TK mutters under his breath, but loses his train of thought completely as Carlos cups his cheek in one hand.

“You don’t like getting sweaty with me?” he asks, and although it sounds innocent, the wink that accompanies is anything but.

“Careful,” TK warns. “The restrooms are less than twenty feet away and I’m very frustrated.”

Carlos drops his hand and looks over his shoulder, before turning back to TK with a coy smile. “Think there’s anyone in them right now? The class is fully booked and it looks like the reception area is empty.”

TK stares, mouth watering. “Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?”

“Well,” Carlos replies mildly. “You must be rubbing off on me.”

“I’ll show you something else I can rub off,” TK smirks, before taking Carlos’ hand and tugging him towards the door.

A/N: SINNER DEAR!! Xiao is so baby girl like omfggg, Barbatos will be done in the next post, but for now, here's the demon killer himself - Alatus!

Summary: You're feeling lost in your journey, luckily, you have the most wonderful Yaksha to cheer you up.

You were currently sitting atop the Wangshu Inn, taking in the beautiful evening sky before you, you were contempt to keep moving, to find your sister/brother at long last, but hope was beginning to diminish inside you. The once strong flames of a dragon turned into spits of ash, the fire trying desperately to rebuild itself to no avail, and that residing to you almost breaking down right then and there.

You bit your tongue to hold back tears, blinking repeatedly and looking upwards to stop any tears that threatened to pour out. You were breaking, and rather fast at that.

"Y/N?" A voice came from behind, making you jolt in surprise, but once you turned, you calmed as you saw the soft gaze of the demon conqueror infront of you, looking up at you in obvious worry, despite it only showing in his eye's. "Are you, crying?" He asked, but you were quick to respond. "No, no, I'm not! They're.. tears of joy! I'm one step closer, you know?" You respond hastily, his bright amber brown eye's staring into your teary E/C one's.

"I don't believe you." He said, he didn't intend for it to sound harsh, and you knew that, as he then holds out his arm's, surprising you a bit- no, alot. "I.. see mortals do this to one another all the time, it's okay if you don't-" You cut him off, arm's wrapping around his petite structure, causing the both of you to relax in one another's hold, his face scrunching in worry as he felt tears dampening his shoulder, yet he didn't mind it coming from you, as he just sat there, keeping eachother in close proximity. He wasn't one for giving affection, but if it meant cheering you up, he'd try absolutely anything to your cravings.

A few minutes of silence passed by, you, feeling tired from the repeated sobbing, and Xiao, who was just rubbing your back rather oddly, but you didn't mind that, you were glad that he was trying new thing's. "Now." You turn towards him, as his eye's show pity, "Tell me, Y/N, what's going on. And don't you dare attempt to lie to me." He said, running his finger's through your H/C locks, the other hand used to intertwine eachothers finger's.

At that moment, you told him the entire story, he listened to you, nodding and humming, trying to show you he was listening, which made you glad. "I see.. I'm not the best at words, Y/N, but.. If you feel like that, stop your journey for a bit, mental health comes first." He said, caressing the cheek that leaned against his small hand, you could feel the rough texture of his hands under the gloves, but either way, attention was attention.

Your senses spiked as soon as you felt a poke to your abdomen, cheeks flush as Y/N stared down at Xiao hand, that dared to prod against the soft surface. He noticed your reaction and opted to take his hand away, surprised as you took his wrists and placed his hands against your side's, making his entire face turn red at that movement alone, causing yourself to chuckle at his innocence.

"Are you sure, Y/N? I know you like me tickling you, but.. are you sure about now?" He asked, fingers twitching out of excitement as you jerk and smile, giving him a shy nod of acceptance, as he then resumes. His left hand gently squeezed at the side stuck in his touch, making you jerk away before returning into his touch, his right hand gently raking his fingertips over your stomach, making you quiver and jolt.

"X-Xiahahao!" You call out, peaking his interests, he stopped quickly, which only made you whine. You knew he was only trying to look out for you, as you smile as he looks lovingly into your eye's, "Gosh.. I'm so lucky." You speak out loud, making his entirely oake body flush red, hiding his face behind his forearm, his free hand now gently clawing at your ribs, quickly alternating to each side whenever you tried to protect one side.

"Y-You flirt.." He groans, finally bringing his other hand down to squeeze at the divets of your hip, making you buck slightly. "Aha!? Xiahahao!" No response, just more tickling, "I'm sohohorry!" Still no response, only a slight blush to his ears and nose, "You're juhust too cuhuhute not to tehease!" You giggle out, as he stopped all his movements, instead, laying ontop of you, head head rested against your heart, feeling your heart beat beneath him, noticing how rapid it was going. "Your heart only beats this fast around me." He said, before taking your hand, he kissed the back of your hand then trailed up, making you giggle until you screamed as he placed a raspberry against your neck.

"AHAH!? I'M SOHORRY!" You quickly bark out, swearing you heard him chuckle, as he kept up his ticklish attack. "I SUBMIHIT! SUBMIHIHIHIT!" Your head throws back, making you snort as he nuzzled he's hair under your chin, before finally stopping, cuddling against you.

You take a few minutes to recover, and as you do, he picks you up in his arm's, touching foreheads. "Come on, I'll let you rest."

hello again! yes, i am indeed posting yet another kinn & porsche fic rec. these fuckers are living in my head rent-free, truly. you guys know the drill by now—like the others, this list is ordered according to length (from longest to shortest), and each fic is by a different author (to share my love and appreciation)! all fics that are not yet complete have been marked with (wip). lastly, make sure to read the tags, and show the authors some love, because we are simply beyond blessed to have such an abundance of talented writers in this fandom! [part 7/?]

— what a tangled web we weave by fortunehasgivenup – explicit / 80.7k words

After the betrayal of his first husband, King Anakinn Theerapanyakul vows to never love again. Once a week, he takes a new husband, a young man who will not live to see another dawn.

Porsche Kittisawat has spent the years since the death of his parents living under the shaky generosity of his uncle, running errands in Thee’s brothel. Anything to protect Chay, his younger brother.

When a nobleman comes to find a young man to adopt and marry off to the king in place of his own son, Thee chooses Chay.

Faced with an outcome that he refuses to contemplate, Porsche steps in and takes Chay’s place. He only has one request for the king—to be allowed to tell his brother one last bedtime story.

(Or: An AU based on the story of Scheherazade.)

And for each piece he keeps, there is a piece he has to sell. Because when you deal with the Devil, you only barter with your soul.

(Or: What happens after Porsche is handed over the ring and the power that goes with it.)

— after ever after by thelaziestmotherfucker – mature / 43.6k words (wip)

“Porsche,” she whispered one night as he laid down with his head in her lap. His eyes were so puffy they felt like they were swollen shut. His nose was runny and his lips felt dry. He couldn’t cry anymore that night. He looked up into her loving eyes as she said, “you must never tell anyone of your gift.”

Porsche’s body tensed up at the command. He knew why she asked it, but little could she fathom that Porsche would be left forever isolated with this secret. He would only be able to hope that no one found out.

She passed away in her bed two days later. Porsche had only just turned thirteen.

— how i know you by nuwildcat – explicit / 31.2k words

The looming shadow of the Dragon Throne has long been on Porsche’s mind. The empire has swept closer and closer to his lands, snatching up smaller kingdoms and grinding them under its boots, all at the hand of one man:

Prince Kinn.

Now that army is on Porsche’s doorstep, and he has a choice to make. He can’t fight off the army, but he can protect his country if he consents to become Kinn’s.

For his kingdom, for his people, Porsche will sacrifice anything, but the real question is, what does he have to gain?

“Where did you say he came from?”

“Pissing in bottles behind a cocktail bar,” Kinn said. “But Pa gave him to me, so I’m stuck with him.” To a visibly furious Porsche he said, “You don’t know the minor family? Never come across any of them before?”

“How would I know the fucking minor family?” Porsche snapped.

— she’s god and i’ve found her by yeetlegay – explicit / 8.4k words

“I—” Porsche’s voice cracks. Her eyes, now that they’re open, can’t seem to look away from Kinn, wandering from her face to her torso, the shirt half-unbuttoned to expose her breasts, suit jacket tossed somewhere on the floor nearby. Her gaze is molten, greedy, when she meets Kinn’s eyes again. “What would you give me?” she asks.

Kinn isn’t prepared for that, or for the effect it has on her, the instinct it unlocks. She moves without thinking. Tugs Porsche’s hips down to meet hers. Brings her mouth close enough to feel her breath, to taste the soft gasp she lets out.

Kinn whispers the word, lips not quite brushing hers. “Anything.”

— running from the daylight by ahdriking – explicit / 7.9k words

“It will be fine,” Kinn snaps, suddenly sitting upright. “I have perfect control.”

Porsche snorts. “No alpha has perfect control. Not in rut.”

Kinn looks at him sharply. “You think me a beast?” He snarls. “That I’ll hump the nearest thing that moves, like some kind of animal?”

“I don’t know,” Porsche shoots back. “But seeing as the nearest moving thing is me, you can understand my concern.”

(Or: Stuck in the forest, handcuffed together, Kinn goes into rut.)

— and seek to mend by vesna (mrsronweasley) – explicit / 7.3k words

Porsche is thinking about something that’s been niggling at him for a while, and he thinks, yes. He can probably bring it up now. “I was just thinking,” he starts, wondering how Kinn will react. “Just wondering…”

“Yeah?” Kinn doesn’t stop running his hand up and down Porsche’s back in slow, soothing motions.

Porsche clears his throat, then says, as nonchalantly as he can manage, “Have you ever been fucked?”

— if you leave it ‘til later, you lose by mslunita – explicit / 6.9k words

Kinn’s night at the sex club he frequents is ruined when a rich newcomer takes everyone’s attention. The bartender is pretty hot, but there’s no way he’d go home with Kinn... right?

(Or: Porsche is a bartender at a sex club and Kinn wants him.)

— haunt me when you’re not around by butterflylungs – explicit / 6.3k words

He turns his head back around and he comes to a sudden stop, so fast he almost trips face first into the gun pointed at him. Fear explodes in his chest before Porsche shoves it down, because he can’t afford to be scared. Because Kinn, standing in front of him right now, would smell the fear and jump on it.

“Got you,” Kinn says, finger on the trigger.

— i see nobody, nobody but you by kurtstiel – explicit / 6.3k words

“What’s the matter?” Porsche breathes. “Are you afraid Vegas would be a better kisser than you? Fuck me better than you?”

Kinn goes completely still. He draws back slowly; a cold, detached kind of anger on his face, like he’s transcended rage completely. The part of Porsche that should be frightened has been replaced by the overwhelming, empty ache between his legs.

Porsche gazes at him, knowing he’s about to get exactly what he wants. “You don’t have any kind of claim on me. I don’t belong to you.”

(Or: Kinn catches Porsche arriving home on Vegas’ motorcycle in Episode 5.)

— our little remedy by mirrorofprinces – explicit / 5.8k words

Porsche hesitates.

Kinn snorts, grabbing a fresh towel off the rack behind him. “You let me shoot an apple off your head, but this is too scary? Get over here. I’ll do it myself.”

— home is not a place by thewayside – explicit / 4.2k words

Somewhere between Kinn arriving at Porsche’s and everything going to hell, they have each other.

(Or: Set during Episode 12 after Kinn & Porsche go back to the alleyway behind Hum Bar where they first met.)

— you’ve got to beg to be proud by starstrung – explicit / 2.4k words

Kinn and Porsche have a rule. Their work may take them to dangerous places. They might have to make hard decisions, be threatening, be charming, or a deadly mixture of the two.

They always come home to each other.

Ranting about the G5 MLP reboot, cause it annoys me cause it could be so much better. (This is very sporatic and has no set points so just go along with it)

Overall I don’t think that the G5 reboot for MLP is that bad. It’s fine for what it is, especially being aimed for the kids of today.

My only gripe is the absolute shit writing in the Make Your Mark series on Netflix. There is little to no consistency for characters or anything, like do any of the writers communicate with each other?

One major example I can recall is during the small Dragon Lands ark, Pipp enters the portal and is like “shit, there’s no signal, we can call for help.” And that’s fine, that’s normal for her character from what they’re trying to do with her (make her less obsessed with social media). But then after the episode ends after they go back inside, the next episode when they go back to it Pipp is like “NO THERES NO SIGNAL HERE! OH NO OH GOD!!!” And like…. You already knew there was no signal????

Another gripe I have is with Sunny. Like I get that she’s supposed to be the positive one, but literally her only thing is to be positive, to be the spokesperson. Just “we can do this if we set our minds to it.” There were so many parts where something important to the magic is at risk of being stolen, but she is all just like “it’s fine!” And just doesn’t do anything to protect it or keep it safe? Also she lowkey gaslights Zipp when she expresses concern over the magic. I love Sunny, but in the MYM show she just pisses me off so much.

Hitch and Izzy are the most normal, other than Hitch turning into a dad. But Hitch still stays mostly in character despite being a bit dumb and overprotective sometimes.

OH BUT THE EPISODE THAT ACTIVELY MADE ME PEEVED WAS THE ONE WHERE EATH PONIES GET THEIR MAGIC AND HITCH SETS RULES. Oh my god. Yes, hitch was being VERY strict about it. BUT HE HAD A GREAT FUCKING POINT?????

Earthy ponies were just getting used to learning new magic, and this caused someone to NEARLY GET CRUSHED by a large fruit, so hitch sets rules. Everything goes haywire because no one is using the magic. AND SOMEHOW THEY TRY TK GASLIGHT HITCH AND THE VIEWERS THAT THERES SHOULD BE NO RESTRICTIONS OR RULES???? Like did you forget that before someone nearly died or at least got seriously injured because ponies were just using it Willy nilly?

I get that this show is for kids, but come on, you could do so much better than this. I’m not even getting to Opaline. (I think she’s alright as a villain, but her character feels so forced).

I hope to god that if they make more stuff for this reboot that it would actually be good. There’s so much wasted potential and such weird and bad writing, it makes me wanna claw at my skin.

[lonestardust]

STOP THIS WAS SOOOOOO 😭 the lengths carlos reyes would go for TK strand bringing home a fucking bearded dragon in a cardboard box just for him, saying that "this maybe the only child we ever share.. together" and TK's simple little easy, okay and "Carlos would you just take the yes" and carlos who is so anxious he can't believe it's just this easy, because he's been too worried about it, that lil moment of disbelief and relief that this love isn't hard to attain that it's always there present and unconditional no matter what 😭😭😭😭😭

SEMI-FINALS, MATCH 2

Propaganda under the cut!

Peter King

Propaganda

Oh I could go ON AND ON but here’s a list: He’s a stalker, he showed up late to a date HE REQUESTED, he killed either your landlord, roommate, or coworker (depending on route) and stuck them in a freezer, lied to the police about it, followed by a car ride either consisting of traumadumping about his family (valid tbh) or him talking about how much he wants to fuck your brains out, then you finding a bloody knife in his glove compartment, asking about it, and him smashing your head into the window to shut you up while he takes you to his house. He is The Worse Datable, as well as The Only Datable because well…he killed the others…and kidnapped you….

FUCK THIS DUDE!!! Country Human looking-ass bitch, I want him dead and obliterated

Many violence, Yandere behavior, cut your leg off in a semi-canon series of illustrations, smashed your head into the passenger side window of his creepy van, chloroformed you in your own house, brought you flowers that were probably tainted with his own blood, given context from another route. Generally a terrible person. Also just very strange to look at :/

He knows what he did….😒

He broke into Y/N’s house and chloroformed them. Generally a really creepy and perverted guy. TK is better :/

Send that man to Worst Datable Hell! Put him in the trash file (he’s a pseudo-sentient AI, similar to Monika, so this threat is valid)! He sometimes looks like a kicked puppy when talking to you, but with your small contributions, we can make him look even more like a kicked puppy! Vote Peter King for Worst Datable Datable Character today! Bonus: Funny canon facts about him! - He can’t swim - He’s allergic to peanuts - He has to wear glasses, but usually wears contacts - He had an emo/goth phase in high school - He’s a YouTuber; he does product reviews - He has very strong mother issues (understandably) - He will respond to and greatly enjoy the nickname “Cockbite” (there are many other names he enjoys, but this one’s the funniest to me)

Cullen Rutherford

Propaganda

stupid racist cop creep whose fans cry about how hes "changed" and "you can't judge him he was addicted to magic drugs" nah he still chose to be a racist cop and abuse his power over innocent people and i hate him. the writers making him romanceable in da:i after how blatantly horrible he was in da:o and da:2 is baffling but i guess they had to appeal to the part of their audience who watch those "mafia boyfriend" videos on tiktok or whatever

He's creepy in origins, though still 100% willing to kill the female mage pc he's crushing on, as well as all the other mages trapped in the circle with him. He's the second-in-command in an even worse circle in 2, listening to and defending the increasingly obviously insane meredith until literally the end. He's one of the people still pushing for the circle system by inquisition, and yes he's going through withdrawals and working through the traumas of previous games. And to be brutally honest his was the first romance i took and while i don't remember much from it, its not worth all the girls going absolutely nuts over knockoff terrible alistair.

He's basically a cop who thinks being born a certain way can revoke personhood and by Inquisition still thinks mages are monsters to be controlled, not people. He gets a fairy tale cutesy romance that focuses on his personal struggles with addiction while showing absolutely no regard to the atrocities he committed and still thinks were justified. He can be romanced BY A MAGE and his actions and beliefs are just glossed over. He believes mages are 'not people like you (Hawke) and me', but if the Warden was a female mage he canonically had a crush on her and would deliberately hang around her despite the fact that he was her *jailer*. If that Warden romanced Leliana, there is war table dialogue in which he pesters Leliana for news of his 'former' crush despite her repeated statement that she doesn't want to talk to him about her. All this shitty behavior and lack of introspection gets swept under the rug by the game, not even giving the PC the chance to really challenge his beliefs. Like damn even Fenris could apologize when he lashed out due to past trauma with mages, and if anyone has a reason to hate mages it's Fenris. If you want an ex Templar hottie Alistair is RIGHT THERE. Tbh I know Cullen is a popular romance and I'm not here to tell anyone what they can or can't do or like in a video game, I'm just saying I think he is deeply undateable

Spends the first two games as an antagonist, fervently devoted to the cause of subjugating mages, then a bunch of "character development" happens off screen and the games treat him like he's completely reformed. However he's actions make it clear he still sees mages as dangerous and lesser. Not to mention if you romance him with an elf he doesn't pay your culture more than lip service respect like most of the devout characters 

He was a total villain in the first two games who was violently prejudiced against mages and uses one single bad experience as an excuse for it (a bad experience that is pretty much exactly what he in his job subjected graduating apprentices to, mind you, but this is never brought up). Now he says he's changed, but his words and actions say otherwise. He still distrusts mages, sympathises with the rebel Templars trying to kill them, and he never owns up to the terrible stuff he did and helped others do in the past two games. He totally knew what Meredith was doing and says he doesn't, and he still tries to defend her intentions. And you have no option to call him out on it. If you romance him as a mage, he angsts about how he might have seen you as subhuman in the past but NOW you're one of the good ones, and when you ask him if he'll kill you if you get possessed, he dodges the question. And the PC is written as being almost sad that she's a mage? Like 'can you love me despite what I am??' Also if Leliana romanced a female mage PC in the first game who is still alive, he asks her creepy questions about their relationship. Fitting considering his original purpose was to be creepy to the female mage Warden. 

I hate him and want to cause chaos. Plus his VA is an asshole.

Cop

I think you covered almost everything but don't forget that beautiful moment in DA2 - Act 2 where you find out some templars had a petition to lobotomize all mages and Meredith, THE HARDCORE TEMPLAR LEADER, rejects it, but Cullen says they got a point. Despite the fact that we just found out that those templars were using lobotomy (or the threat of) to rape people and get away with it. And then Cullen in DA:I is whining that anything that happened it's not his fault because Meredith kept the worse away form him so he didn't know, but also that anyway Meredith had a point and did what she had to do. Meredith does not go mad until Act 3, before she was of sound mind and Culllen was her second in command BECAUSE he hated mages as much as (or even more) than her. What the FUCK did she even hide from you, Cullen. Oh, but he changed! Because the writers make A VICTIM OF THE TEMPLARS say so. And anyway he only says so BECAUSE HE READS MINDS not because Cullen did anything to show it. Also the narrative wants to sympathise with Cullen for his drug problems while Cullen is openly attacking the only other character with the same problem for...having the same problem. And he's the antagonist, so there were OTHER things Cullen could be mad about. But he is mad about the drug problem. Also I'm not an expert on writing characters with addictions but he is an addict only when it's time to have a cut scene where you pity him. Otherwise it has zero impacts on everything else.

💞 Of Lizards, Love & Laundry 💞

🦎 now complete 🦎

Ship: Tarlos | Fandom: 911 Lone Star Author: noxsoulmate | Artist: paxdracona Read on ao3 | View art on ao3

Chapters: 7-9/9 | Word Count: 4049 | Complete Word Count: 13826 | Rating: Mature | Warnings/Tags: canon compliant, Lou II is the Houdini of Lizards, how Lou II makes his Papa love him, a story told in 7+2 parts, Carlos is so done, but TK knows how to condition his man, sex and spicy food, bribery, fluff, domestic fluff, fluff and smut, fluff and humor, Carlos loves TK, so he puts up with the reptile in their loft, until he starts to love the little monster as well

Inspired by the amazing art of @paxdracona

Created for the @911reversebang

Summary:

“TK, your lizard got out. Again.”

Lou II might just be the Houdini of lizards, an escape artist par excellence – but he’s also TK’s emotional support lizard, so how could Carlos not start to like the little monster? It certainly has nothing to do with TK’s ways of bribery or attempts at conditioning him, and more with the fact that Lou II is just… growing on him. Even if that means loads and loads of extra laundry.

OR: Carlos Reyes and the Journey of Becoming a Lizard Papa, told in 7+2 parts

🦎 Read chapters 7 to 9 on ao3 🦎

💞 and please leave lots of love on the wonderful art on ao3 💞

💞 🦎 This fic is now complete 🦎💞

Once more I have to say the biggest thanks to @paxdracona 🥰 working with you was such a joy and I hope there are more projects in our future.

And of course, all my love to my wonderful readers - thank you so much for all your love, for all the kudos and your lovely comments, as well as all the reblogs here on tumblr. I'm so thrilled you loved this fic and the amazing art 😘

Sneak peek and more art under the cut:

Household chores are always a tiring thing to handle but Carlos actually likes some of them. He’s weird like that, yes, but he knows it has to do with it being mostly mindless tasks that don’t require much thinking, and still you can see the result in the end. Plus, doing them together with TK always makes it that much better. They love to share kisses whenever they’re close, they brush each other when one passes the other, just smiling, exchanging wordless communication. It’s nice, it’s domestic, and Carlos knows he won’t mind doing any chores for the rest of his life as long as he can share it with TK.

It also helps that they both have their preferred chores and switch up those neither of them likes or both of them do. Laundry, for example, is part of the last category. Before moving together, Carlos would’ve never thought TK would like doing laundry as much as he does. But they both see it as a rather meditative task, one that can be done while sitting on the couch.

And yes, Carlos still uses the couch to sort all the dry laundry, even after the little Lou II incident the other week.

Besides, he has to admit he has definitely warmed up to the little rascal. He isn’t even surprised anymore to sometimes find him outside of the terrarium. TK offered to set up a camera so they could see how the trickster does it – but Carlos brushed it off. By now, he might even be okay with letting him run around the loft sometime. He found these little cat hammocks online after watching a video where a bearded dragon used it to chill in it…

Not that he’s ready to tell TK just yet. His fiancé is excited enough as is, seeing how their wedding is only a few days away. No, he will keep that revelational new status in Lou II and his relationship for a day where TK needs another pick-me-up…

Carlos is pulled from his thoughts when TK drops down on the couch next to him, looking at him with that look. The look that tells Carlos right away that TK did something he thinks he’ll get in trouble for unless his puppy eyes will get him out of it.

“Oh no,” Carlos murmurs, staring at his fiancé. “What did you do?”

“So… remember a few weeks ago when Lou II got free while I cleaned his terrarium?”

Carlos looks past him and sees it right away, the open glass case and the cleaning supplies. All he does is sigh and look back at TK, who truly looks sheepish now.

“Remember how I promised I would tell you right away if it happened again? Well…”

Nice ask week!

Do you have any pets? If yes, can I see? If no, what would be your dream house pet?

Hello Cora!! I unfortunately, do not have any pets myself 😭 I grew up with animals and had pets when I was younger, and since getting my own house a couple of years ago I have wanted to get a dog and cat, but I just can't afford it financially at the moment. I really want a Labrador, golden retriever or German shepherd, but as for cat breed, we're leaning towards a Siberian because they are more hypoallergenic and my partner is allergic to cats. And they are a pricey breed 🥲

I'm hoping within the next couple of years we'll get a pet! Until then though, have some more pictures of my mom's (mother-in-laws) animals, who we lived with for 8 years, so I'm counting them as mine too 😂 And I've always loved lizards and her bearded dragon is a big reason why I'm so freaking in love with the fact that Carlos got TK one 🥹

[ninacarstairss]

i don’t even know where to start. this episode was so personal, so beautiful, for so many reasons. it really did show how much both tk and carlos have grown, together and as individuals, and it was wonderful. carlos finally admitted his fears, he said it out loud, how he never really had a relationship with his father, and how he is afraid to screw it all up if he ever has a kid, how tk is going to be wonderful and he has complete faith in him, but he feels nowhere near ready to be a father himself. this is such a big step. carlos is still the one who shoves his deepest emotions and fears down a corner so small they nearly die out, until there are so many that they can’t be held anymore. but now he finally spoke one of those fears aloud, to andrea and to tk both. and it was such an important conversation for them to have, i really love how they handled it. tk wanting children ever since the beginning and carlos never even thinking about children are two completely opposite views, and yet there’s something that can overcome this “gaping chasm”, the love they have for each other. i always hated how in most stories it’s one person giving up their dream for the other, either having a kid they don’t want, or settling for a life that doesn’t fit their idea. but tk isn’t settling and carlos isn’t giving in. the most important thing is that tk is by carlos’s side, because carlos is tk’s person. they said it. tk knows carlos, knows his fears and doubts, and he would never want to force him into a family he doesn’t feel comfortable having. and carlos knows tk, he knows that when he says yes, if this reptile is the only kid we have it’s okay he’s not lying or settling, he’s choosing love, his person. no one is forcing an idea on the other, no one is saying it’s now or never. carlos could warm to the idea of having children, he only said he wasn’t ready now, and tk could want to travel with their bearded dragon and have more pet reptiles (i hope not for carlos’s sake) and never think about kids again. the road is open, they get to choose where to go from here. but all that matters is that they are walking together.

I’m late and you might’ve already answered this, but All Austin Everything??

🚨POLL AND PICTURES BELOW🚨

very sorry in advance that you're going to get this response - thank you also to anon, @liminalmemories21 and @lemonlyman-dotcom for the asks on this fic. it's the crossover with rwrb that I've had like 1/4 finished for ages and shamefully haven't touched, but I did think about it the other day because I got STUCK on one of my characterisation points.

see, I actually managed to manifest lou 2 somehow by writing that TK and Alex (Claremont-Diaz) were discussing bearded dragons. BUT THEN I thought hang on...turkeys - Cornbread and Stuffing, our beloveds - had Alex fearing for his LIFE. so maybe he would not be a fan of lizards!? perhaps, like Carlos, he is determined not to be endeared by a creature descended from dinosaurs. I NEED HELP! someone tell me which pictoral representation is correct (yes I am unhinged for this and couldn't find an appropriate henry photo).

WHICH MASH UP IS CORRECT?!?!!

OR IS IT SIMPLY:

[marsalta-alt]

Okay I have thought hard abt this

Narrator: moonstone or sandstone

Stanley: Tigers eye or clear quartz

TK: amethyst, Smokey quartz, or dragon bloodstone.

Oooooooo yes

Convert Anon💜 here!!

Me remembering that canonically Azul is bigger than the tweels and just *looks at Azul and makes amall grabby hands* lemme see him all big🥺🥺

Also i have been just doing random thinks of if our dna permanently changed from some sort of magic mishap and we’re now what our lover is and also we have magic now and even with tests it’s showing up as this different dna and it’s irreversible and now we’re stuck like this (Also not cause I got octopus as what sea animal I am no no way is this the inspiration for it)

(And sorry but octotrio is once again the first and is being Remy to my brain)

We wake up in the infirmary, groaning and trying to sit up and everything is cold. Everything looks funny as well, and the sounds are much different. Once our brain is able to rub two braincells together that we’re in water and also mentally making a reminder to strangle Ace for throwing that ingredient into the potion.

Then, we notice the tentacles, shock and surprise and flailing back before bumping out head and looking down at ourselves. What came to mind was the overblot form of Azul, but he’s a octomer so it makes sense and we’re not-

…

….

…..

Ace is so dead.

Basically now we have Azul teach us how to octopus and also we now have to take human potions to be on land and Ace would 100% get one big ol smack for it. Ace stop throwing random things in potions. If I woke up as an eel the first thing i would do is first off, bite Ace for doing this to me, then ask Floyd or Hade to teach me how to swim and also how to eel

Next would be Malleus as a dragon fae(Ace bullying hours cause he knocked over a lot of things)(somehow you’re now fae)

You wake up with a tail and horns, trying to adapt to these new weights and Malleus has to help you get used to magic again and Lilia also may or may not also help but also may tease and Malleus maybe would teach you how to turn into a dragon and maybe try to help you make a hoard and you two can lay on shiny’s together

If you woke up as a vampire I feel like Lilia would maybe be sad, cause he’s so old and you were so young but now you have eternity together but also you will outlive almost all of your friends and he knows what it’s like and will comfort you later when it happens and hold you as you cry

Waking up as a beastman would be so funny like with Leona we’re now a lioness and he now has a lil bit of fear and Ruggie we’re a hyena and he’s also very scared cause newborn female hyenas outrank older males automatically and he would need some lovings very much, as a wolf I think Jack would try and help up as much as he can and also now you’re also kinda pack cause crush and now you’re a wolf too and he’s like 👀🥺🐺(like if you want tk become pack with him)

I think azul would be as huge as Ursula and then you really will be tiny compared to him lolol but hey, more to hug and cuddle. Kind of like ponyo mother.

Convert anonie you are speaking my language. I love stories in which the love interest sometimes changes to match their beloveds 💕💕💕 

you dont have to apologize for going with octatrio first, its okay ☺️🌻

Rest In Peace Ace, you have my condolences. 🤲😂🌟 on the bright side, you have eight arms and legs and you can multitask now 😂 whoop! lolol jkjk 

ah ace, crewel is also going to have your head. on the bright side, Azul is going to have fun teaching you to navigate in your new form and now you can talk to the fishes 👏👏 you wonder and happiness in this new form might even help Azul have a positive view of his October form

careful convert anon, I might be wrong but biting might be a a type of mating ritual. you don't want to make the leech this jealous now would you??👀👀

yes, waking up as a fae and a dragon at that? ace I am going to hug you ...after he gets threatened with a few fire spells. malleus is going to be excited to have another dragon fae with him. his child of ma-..well fae now match him and you get closer with him even more as you spend time with him. after awhile, he might even teach you history of the fae and the culture...as time goes on. you might even notice that he is courting you the tradition dragon way.

....man waking up as a vampire as its gifts and its tragedies...but at least I have an excise for wanting to bit Lilia’s ears now lolol but true, living a long life will hurt as time passes but now you have Lilia to comfort you and malleus as he too will live a long life. I feel like Lilia having a companion in life with give him a sense of comfort and happiness. Silver will be happy for his father that he won't be lonely after he passes. but there is always hope, as time passes...you notice that some of these new people you meet along the way..well, they kind of remind you of your friends from hundreds of years ago. you cant help but smile and greet them. happy to have them in your life again.

(....I went deep there, do you see the hold this old grandpa has on me?? shddjddnj) 

leona can definitely not call us herbivore anymore in a snarky way anymore, but he's going to have funny teaching you how to be a beastman. watch the rest of Savanaclaw fall on their feet making sure you are taken care of because they respect women. but as tine goes on, you and leona get closer and closer. sometimes he pulls on your tail affectionally, or rubs your ears, or nuzzles you and at this point you can hear the “can you feel this love tonight” song playing 

Ruggie is going to be sweet and teach you the ways but he's extra tired now, leona give him a raise damnit. it isn't easy racing an adult ...new born but at least he will have fun. you will see that Ruggie give more for to you than usual, sometimes out of his own stash. and you would share it back to him. in a way, this is him showing he can provide for you and he's worthy and you sharing the food in return shows you think him of equal status.

jack is a good boy, he will help you out. he wouldn't mind you becoming a part of his pack and maybe even more. he will help you to the best of his abilities and even call home and ask for advice if he doesn't know. you can see his wag tail whenever you accomplished something you are proud of. he knocks his forehead onto yours when he is especially happy and proud.

*should be writing*

*instead tries to imagine the characters of 911 Lone Star learning fiber arts*

TK - My love, my boundless ball of energy. You would look over at Lou II and you would be scrolling through bearded dragons on insta or maybe Pinterest (is TK a pintrest person? This is my blog so I say yes) and see a little Bearded Dragon Sweater, and think "Yeah, I could do that." And because again this is my blog, you get a little bag of yarn from the thrift store (where you probably saved the owner) and there are needles and hooks in the bag (I speak from experience here). You google knitting, probably. Maybe a restless night in (I'm just going to say Carlos is out policing) you try to knit a sweater (knitting in a circle is ridiculous and hard and ridiculously hard.) Maybe you try to crochet a granny square, because that you do and Lou could always use it as a blanket. That's a very fuzzy thought.

Carlos - You've perhaps heard of tejer you have a grandmother after all and probably think its a little (a lot) ridiculous when your husband picks it up, but you buy him cotton yarn anyway because it's organic and if anything happened to Lou II it would hurt you just as much.

howdy! TK themed asks: 4. 12. 16. 21. 55. 👀

Howdy! Thanks for the asks :)

4. What is your favorite music video?

This is difficult because I love them all, haha. But my top 3 are Miss Atomic Bomb (for The Mr Brightside references and animated Brandon), Just Another Girl (for all the genius easter eggs and because I want all the Brandon outfits Diane Agron wears in it) and The Man (for Brandon's acting and because he just looks great in it haha).

12. What is your favorite album art?

The Wonderful Wonderful album cover :) I joined the fandom in that era and I remember at that time when the album was being promoted and at the tour, the album art was everywhere. So I just have an attachment to it because it reminds me of that time in my life, getting out of high school and seeing TK live for the first time. I also love the symbolism of it and how it captures the themes that run through the album perfectly.

16. Top 5 Brandon looks?

Not in any particular order: The gold suit from the WW tour (because it's dear to my heart <3), Flamingo era suspenders, the iconic D&A feather jacket, the Battle Born leather jacket (or every outfit from the BB tour honestly) and literally every look from the TDE era <3 Also honourable mention to the dragon suit from the WW tour because that one is also special to me, as he wore it at my first ever TK show.

21. Do you agree with a lot of Brandiva’s past remarks?

This is an interesting one haha! Honestly I think a lot of the time he was just saying what other people were too afraid to say when it came to certain celebrities, like with Kanye and stuff. I kind of like the level of outspoken that he was in TDE era, where he would just speak his mind and correct people on Twitter and stuff, lol. But I do think that a lot of the stuff he said in the Sam's Town about other indie bands came from a place of insecurity when he was younger, and he's admitted that himself (and he even wrote The Man about that). So he said a lot of stuff he probably didn't mean back then. I'm glad he feels more confident in himself now and doesn't really feel the need to trash talk other bands anymore, although Brandiva was iconic and entertaining lol.

55. Favorite Christmas single?

I love them all so much, but if I did a top 5, it would look like this:

Dirt Sledding - Probably my favourite! I love the Elvis vibes lol, and the music video is so cute and funny (Long hair Brandon my beloved <3) Also it's just so fun to sing along to, especially the 'shiny Rolex on my wrist' part haha.

Boots - it's just such a comforting song, like the audio equivalent of sitting next to a roaring fire in winter... Also it feels like a Flamingo song, and Flamingo is my comfort album <3

I Feel It In My Bones - This song is so Battle Born, and BB is one of my two absolute favourite TK albums, so I love it!

Don't Shoot Me Santa - This is just an iconic song lol, also the music video always makes me laugh so much even though I've seen it a million times, it's hilarious.

Happy Birthday Guadalupe - This song is just really fun, and also romantic <3 I just love the chorus too, when Brandon sings 'We are living in a difficult time' I'm like... yes. Also the part when he sings 'Put your feet up baby, it's Christmas time' is so comforting to me for some reason too haha.
