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.

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

I cannot thank @paxdracona enough for this wonderful collaboration 🥰 It started out as a simple "okay, I think I have enough ideas to make this a short 5+1 fic" and then became so much more, thanks to cute Bearded Dragon videos, funny Insta posts, lots of talking and laughing and plotting, and just the generally amazing art Pax created for every little snippet I sent her way. Pax, this was a delight and I would collaborate with you again each and every single time 🦎 (also, we should both adopt a beardie now...)

Sneak peek and more art under the cut:

Carlos will forever deny the high-pitched scream that leaves him the moment he opens the drawer to pull out a fresh pair of socks. What he won’t deny though, is the fact that his soul definitely left his body in that moment. 

He can already hear footsteps running towards the bedroom, his fiancé’s worried, “Babe?!?” echoing around the loft – and still, he can’t stop himself from putting his emotions into one frustrated yell of, “TK!!”

“I’m here, I’m here,” TK calls back, skidding to a halt in the doorway, using the door frame to stop his sprint. “What happened? What? Are you hurt?!”

Carlos tries not to explode at him, he truly does, so he simply glares at him with all the rage he feels and points to the drawer, pressing out through clenched teeth, “Your monster got free.”

TK, in all honesty, seems to light up as he steps over to the dresser and reaches into the drawer. “Oh, hey baby, hi. There you are. Hi.”

Something about that comment strikes Carlos as odd and he sucks in a deep breath, frustration rising, when he realizes what it is. “You knew he was out?”

At least TK has the decency to look sheepish while cradling the little monster to his chest. “He might’ve gotten away while I cleaned his terrarium earlier today.”

Carlos lets that information sink in for a moment, remembering how overly excited TK greeted him about half an hour ago when Carlos got home from his shift. How he seemed slightly breathless and waved it away as just being done with some workout but still had declined to share the shower with Carlos, claiming some tidying up he wanted to do.

That lying little… 

“And you didn’t tell me?” Carlos accuses to which TK almost reflexively replies, “I didn’t want you to freak out.”

“TK!”

And, yeah, that argument sounds eerily familiar.

Carlos pinches the bridge of his nose, trying not to think about the fact that he walked around the loft – mainly the bathroom and bedroom – naked while this little monster was running around. Or, worse yet, getting all his germs over Carlos’ clothes.

He points a finger at TK, giving him his strongest Officer Reyes glare. “It’s your turn to do the laundry and every single one of my socks will be in that machine, do you hear me?”

“Of course,” TK promises right away. “I’ll just… wash everything in that dresser, okay?”

Conversations With Lizards

Carlos wakes in the middle of the night, and finds himself alone in bed. At the sound of TK's voice in the next room, Carlos panics, assumes TK is speaking with his sponsor, that he's woken up hurting once again. When he goes to offer TK a wordless check in, Carlos overhears an entirely different conversation...

Inexplicably, and out of nowhere, something stirs Carlos in the middle of the night. He can’t put his finger exactly on what, feels heavy and disoriented when he wakes, blinks into the darkness. It’s as if he’s been lurched back to consciousness from somewhere so far away. He’d been sleeping well, dreaming of something warm and sweet, but now his senses are sharpening, and he realises what he can hear.

A voice. Muffled, indistinguishable. Somewhere beyond their bedroom door, someone who shouldn’t be here.

Being a big brother is stressing me. How do I explain to little Lou II that the white thing on the couch is not spilled milk?

[beautifulhigh]

I like how TK now has Lou 2 to accompany when he’s feeling sad or spiralling, the way he was just blanklessly staring at Lou 2 while moving the manoeuvrable basking lamp for him 🥺

TK was worried about Carlos, he will have been grieving Gabriel himself, and instead of breaking he just waited for Carlos to come home while he hoped that they weren't too late to stop him. The wedding he's wanted and been looking forward to since he proposed is on hold, he can't fix this for Carlos, and it will of course bring back memories of losing his mom.

And he just sat with the lizard that Carlos bought him, bought them, the only child they may share together, and he held it together.

TK Strand is not weak and he's not fragile and he can save himself because he has the love and support and family who have helped equip him with those skills.

And he loves, so completely and openly. He loves the man he is waiting for, and he loves their lizard child.

#35 'your problem is my problem'

'your problem is my problem' original prompt list here

Carlos shakes his head as he kneels down on the floor, looking underneath the couch.

"Lou," he calls out. "Come out of your hiding spot, buddy. C'mon, don't do this to me today, please."

But the stubborn lizard refuses to show up, making Carlos’ existence a little bit more difficult by the second.

"Lou," he repeats, leaning forward and reaching below the couch. "TK will be home any minute now. He'll have a heart attack if you're missing."

Carlos gives up his search underneath the couch and moves to the realm of the kitchen, even though the mere thought of Lou The Second chilling out on a lettuce leaf gives him the hives.

He realized Lou was missing after having showered, when he was getting ready to cook dinner. Carlos hadn't given it much thought when he'd first seen the empty terrarium, believing that maybe Lou was sleeping in there somewhere. But when after a few moments the lizard hadn't even approached the glass to greet him, Carlos had known something was wrong.

And this time it's his fault.

He's always complained about TK being absent-minded and not paying much attention to where Lou was, so his fiancé had dared him to take care of Lou for a whole week. Confident in his abilities, Carlos had accepted the challenge.

Two days into the week, he's managed to lose Lou. And TK's about to come home, he realizes when he checks the clock. He freaks out, swiftly lifting everything on the surfaces of the kitchen's counters with no success, when the door chimes and TK enters the living room.

Belatedly, Carlos realizes how bad the situation might look — the living room is a mess, and the kitchen is halfway to becoming an amusement park of spatulas and pots scattered on the floor and the counters.

"Carlos?" TK greets him, but it sounds like a question. "What's going on here?"

"I, ehm, I might have, how to say it—"

"You've lost Lou," TK says when realization dawns on him. "Oh my gosh, this is hilarious."

Carlos’ face lights up beet red, embarrassment filling up his soul. He simply nods.

"Well, lemme change real quick and I'll help you with the search."

"You'd do that?" Carlos sighs. "Even when it's me who has caused this problem?"

"Oh, babe," TK says softly, chuckling. "Your problem is my problem. It's going to be like that officially on Saturday, so I might as well start practicing."

Carlos smiles at him, while TK continues. "He can't have gone far, and he can't get out of the loft. Besides, I have a really good trick to lure Lou out of wherever he is."

"Ah, do you? And what would that be?"

TK laughs out loud but doesn't say anything. He rushes to the shower and gets out in record time, helping Carlos in his search. It turns out that TK’s trick is to call Lou with the softest voice possible, which Carlos hadn't tried.

And it works, because the lizard gets out of his hiding spot in between the leaves of the plant they have decorating the foyer.

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…”

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)
