rating: explicit

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.

thank you for tagging me @carlos-in-glasses @nancygillianmvp @sznofthesticks @bonheur-cafe @paperstorm @thisbuildinghasfeelings @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad @whatsintheboxmh @lemonlyman-dotcom <33 here’s a little bit of the last and final chapter of so good right now!

TK smiles at his reflection in the mirror as he buttons up his work shirt for the day. He scrapes a nail over a mark Carlos left just below his collarbone, letting out a breath at the sensation, then presses harder as he remembers the feeling of Carlos’ lips all over his body.

God, he misses him. It’s been a grand total of two days, less than, since he’s seen Carlos, but he misses him, misses the way he makes him feel, misses the soft way Carlos kisses him with everything he’s got. He just misses being around him, really, but within the next thirty minutes, they’ll be together again.

TK can’t wait.

For now, he finishes buttoning up his shirt, somewhat disappointed that he had to cover his new mark—which is a turnout, really; he’s been grateful to be covering his scar for so long, but now Carlos has kissed over the skin there, he finds he doesn’t want to as much—and grabs his tie from where it’s hanging on the doorknob.

A few minutes later, he’s padding out of his room, far earlier than he would normally on a Monday morning, even since Carlos, and heads downstairs.

is this the calm before the storm? oh, i wouldn’t know

It’s messy and it’s hot, their mouths already open when they meet. He feels TK’s tongue against his own, soft and warm as it moves in his mouth, behind TK’s usual sweetness he tastes a faint musk that he recognizes as his own. It makes his head buzz a bit, to taste himself, his skin and his sweat and his come, on TK’s tongue.

When he feels TK beginning to ruck his shirt up his back he pulls back just enough to get it over his head. TK flings it over the back of the couch, laughing brightly when it gets caught on one of the horse figurines on the console table behind the couch. “Whoops.”

“Oh, a bad boy indeed,” Carlos chuckles. TK’s already moved on to his pants, pushing them down to his knees.

“You can punish me later, take these off.”

He shifts so he can push the sweats the rest of the way off his legs, then sits back to pull TK back into his lap. He makes quick work of ridding TK of his sweater and burying his face in the freshly exposed skin between his neck and shoulder. He takes a breath, breathing in the scent of his husband. The tingly tea tree of the conditioner he always steals from Carlos mixing with the faint orange blossom and vanilla of the cologne he applied this morning. It’s comforting, the smell of safety and love and home. He takes a moment, TK lets him, patting the back of his head as he waits. After a few moments of savoring, he shifts back into gear. He has a husband to take apart and put back together.

#OH? HELLOO #fics

[fallout-mars]

After a brief hiatus from fic recs, we are BACK!

To make up for what we've missed, this week we are going to be focusing on fic recs from the first SIX EPISODES of season 3:

3x01 The Big Chill, 3x02 Thin Ice, 3x03 Shock and Thaw, 3x04 Push, 3x05 Child Care, 3x06 The ATX Files.

Here are this week's prompts:

Ice storm arc!

The 126 separated

Marjan being a badass

PUSH--the coma, the wakeup, the "hey baby, breathe," the aftermath that the show didn't have time to give us so our wonderful fic writers had to craft it for themselves, etc.

Detective Carlos Reyes

Tommy coping with her husband's death

Judd becoming a father to Charlie/Judd becoming a father to Wyatt

Rules:

Every week there will be a different prompt, and everyone is encouraged to share a fic (or a few!) recommendation that meets the prompt and tag a few fic-reading friends. The game can be played all week, so no pressure to post right away. Please feel free to use the banner above, to make your own, or to not use one at all!

Finally, please use the tag ‘Rewatch Read-Along Week 17’ and at the end of the week @911lonestarrewatch will post the link to the tag for the comprehensive list of fic recs!

Thanks to @guardian-angle22 for the banner!

Here are my recs:

Chapter 2 of The Center of the Maze by @carlos-in-glasses

Obviously I highly recommend the entire fic, but Chapter 2 is the part that deals specifically with what we're focused on this week. A heartbroken Carlos sobbing on the side of the road...is there a sadder image?? 😭

Seven Ways (Back to You) by @welcometololaland

An amazing series made up of 7 fics that deal with TK and Carlos finding their way back together in far more depth than the show could have ever given us!

Half agony, half hope and Coming and going by @goodways

The first is a wonderful Push coda filled with yearning and love and sweetness and making up and MAKING UP 😏, while the second is a truly delightful fic occurring in the aftermath of TK's coma where, as Shannon so aptly puts it in the summary "TK and Carlos boink so hard that TK passes out." I couldn't choose between the two, so I'm reccing both!

all my blood for the sweetness of his laugh by @alrightbuckaroo

Carlos reflecting on what he missed about TK while they were apart and how much he likes TK's laugh. Carlos' joy at making TK laugh is always one of my favorite things!

My Family, More or Less by @lightningboltreader

Carlos coming home to TK and telling him about his eventful night helping Katie get reunited with her parents...with a little help from his father-in-law more or less!

Learning, relearning by @fallout-mars

A really beautiful little fic a few weeks post-coma, with TK and Carlos so in love and so happy to be back together.

I started a new project a couple days ago, once again using my comically large hoop that I used to stitch the vows!

This one is going to consist of every single time TK calls Carlos "babe" or "baby." Here's what I have done so far:

Here's a better view of just how comically large this hoop is (it's a 23-inch diameter):

I start in the middle...and I really love the fact that the end of season 3 is actually the MIDDLE. A lot of babe/baby in season 4!

He slowly stood up from the flimsy plastic chair and left the room. He took the five flights of stairs to avoid the crowds of people leaving the meeting, when in actuality there were only about six of them. He couldn't face them, even if they were strangers. He walked out to his car and slumped into the driver’s seat and let out a guttural sob.

Everywhere he went, he saw his dad. He saw him at the grocery store. He saw him at the dinner table when he visited his mother. He saw him on the street. He saw him at the farmer’s market. He even saw his blood in the entryway of their house, even though that had to be impossible right? They replaced the floorboards. He was losing it, he thought to himself as the burning tears ran down his cheeks.

He looked down at his hands, which were turning stark white from gripping the steering wheel with immense force, stopping at the reflection of light on his ring. TK. That’s why he’s doing this, and he’s all he wants right now. He should have let him come. He hated being alone right now.

He started the car and made the drive home that felt agonizingly long.

WIP wednesday

thank you @carlos-in-glasses for kicking off wip wednesday while it's still wednesday in my part of the world

here is yet more nancy backstory wip

For as long as she could remember, eighteen-year-old Nancy Gillian had been telling anyone who would listen that she was going to be a doctor. Both her parents were doctors, and she’d never considered anything else. All she had ever wanted to do with her life was to help people, so she studied hard and secured an early offer to the pre-med program at UT. Her future was all planned out, but those plans went out the window the day she met the woman who would later become her first captain and mentor, paramedic Michelle Blake. 

open tag plus no pressure tags under the cut <3

Out of Context/Think this is the last line I wrote Tuesday (?)

My brain has been mush lately so I don't remember which line I wrote last. Might've been this one which I wrote on three hours of sleep and energy drink. It's supposed to go somewhere... I just can't figure out where.

His grip is weak, or maybe he’s still to afraid to hold on too tight, less ready to hold on and more willing to let it slip through his fingers. Like maybe it won’t hurt as much to let his fall through his fingers than it would be to hold on and let it break in his hands.

Open tag! And tags and things under the cut 💜

sorry the last line I worked on is a sad one

“I couldn’t save—I tried so hard, but I couldn’t save her,” Nancy cries out between sobs. “I did everything I could, and it wasn’t enough; I tried so hard. I should have been able to save her.”
