This snippet is from Chapter One of Live To Tell - coming pretty much as soon as I edit it 👀
(Tw: discussion of addiction and relapse)
Five days ago, he promised his mother he’d stopped using again — that he’d flushed all his pills and deleted his dealer’s number, that he was ready for another fresh start.
It hadn’t been a lie at the time — not completely. He’d kept the pills but he’d locked them away, and he really had deleted some numbers; the people he knew were the worst for his health. But the emergency stash was a cloying temptation, and his resolve had crumbled within days; quicker than usual. He realised, the moment he reached back out for the pills, that he hadn’t been ready at all. He’d only wished that he could have been. He hadn’t wanted to burn his mother’s pride, to turn it all to ashes between them. So he returned the pills to the empty drawer in his dresser, and he just never told his mother. He swallowed them down in his bedroom, alone. He simply carried on keeping quiet.
“Almost a week,” she tells him now, and something in TK’s chest turns hollow, howls with the ache of the words.
“Right,” he breathes. “I guess.”
No pressure tags below the cut! 💛

Ok but TK and Marjan, both trying to figure out if Buck and Eddie are dating after following them on Instagram because they both seem to exclusively only post stuff of each other and Chris.
Like TK would see it first but it doesn't take long before Marjan is right there with him and they both become lowkey obsessed trying to figure it out.
And then season 7 happens
-
TK - who the fucks Marisole?
Marjan - no clue why?
TK - she just tagged Diaz in her story, I guess they're moving in together
Marjan pulling up Instagram - when, I've literally never seen him post anything about her before
TK - I know, it's weird right.
Marjan - really weird
-
TK - Marj have you seen?
Marjan - seen what?
TK - Buckley took a guy to his sisters wedding, I knew he was flirting with me
Majan - as in some guy that's not Diaz?
TK - yeah he's called Tommy
Marjan having already pulled up Tommy's profile - wow…
TK - he's hot right
Majan - yeah but that's not what I meant have you been on his profile
TK - no I just saw the pictures from the wedding why?
Marjan - he also a firefighter, he's ex army and he seems to be into basketball, cars and Muay thai
TK - So Buckley is dating a clone of Diaz
Marjan - certainly looks that way
Like an hour later
TK - do you think we should tell him?
Majan - Buckley? You know I was thinking the same thing. Like we should just drop him a quick dm or something
TK - I don't know it feels like the kind of thing you should call someone about
Majan - Wait, you got his number when he was flirting with you during the wildfires?
TK - unfortunately not
Marjan - damn, you think you could convince Carlos to find his number in the police database?
TK - If I explain it's for the grater good maybe
Paul who has been listening to these two idiots speculate for the past few years - No no no, you absolutely can not do that!
TK - but it's for love
Paul - you're going to what call this guy up and and be like hey you remember when we might briefly in Texas during the wildfires well me and my friend have been insta stalking you and think your in love with you best friend
Marjan - well it sounds crazy when you say it like that
Paul - you would be lucky if they don't file restraining orders against you for stalking. Look, you don't think I clocked them both during the whole five minutes I spent with the two of them, of course I did but you can't just tell people how they feel either they will figure it out on their own or they won't. But whichever it is you have to stay out of it.
TK & Marjan pouting - fine
TK once Paul is out of earshot - what if we dm Diaz?

all of my wildest dreams just end up with you and me
collaborated with @whatsintheboxmh with her beautiful art i comm'd for a scene in this fic here <3
thank you to the lovely @herefortarlos for beta reading for me! <3
pairing: tarlos
rating: explicit
length: 2k, 1/1
here's a small snippet:
He never thought this would be his life. He always read sweet love stories and didn’t think he would ever get to experience that great love himself. It always felt so unattainable to him, that he was destined for loneliness. Then TK, his soulmate, came to Texas. Now he’s living that great love story. They’ve overcome so much together, he truly believes they can handle anything, as long as they have each other.

Carlos: What happened?
TK, smiling: Something amazing.

Rewatching the 911/911 Lone Star crossover and I am going to explode
Buck starts out shit talking and being competitive with TK then Buck compliments TK after he saved him saying he had "nice moves"
Buck comforts TK when he's upset and offers to do something reckless to help him before telling him, and only him btw, he wants to see him again
TK sees all of this and thinks Buck must be flirting because why wouldn't he but this is EXACTLY how Buck acted when he met Eddie
Someone is reading these situations wrong and I don't think it's TK
