Remember that if you'd like to request something from me, feel free to hmu in my inbox. I can't guarantee I'll always get back to you, but I see and read every single one as well as all the comments on my fics. :)

[decafdino]

Do you take requests?

It's possible I can right now! I can't make any promises on length or timeline atm (I'm currently in recovery from surgery, so I've got a lot of time on my hands but also that means I'm sleeping quite a bit.) I also tend to be a little iffy on any prompts that are nsfw/kinky for personal reasons, but I'm willing to hear anyone out and then make a decision. I'll also be real, my main forte is whump/angst. I can write outside of that but that's really my main thing lol.

Sorry for the late response!

Chapter One of more than just an ordinary pain is live on ao3 now!! Here's a bit from Chapter Two, coming this week!! 😎

TK and Carlos have been building up this moment for Jonah for weeks. 

The Bat Bridge.

He’s been bombarding them with an endless list of questions.

At bedtime, heavy eyelids drooping while Carlos tucks his moose in next to him and TK brushes a final kiss to his forehead.

“If one bat sleeps too long does his papa wake him up?”

During his bath, splashing water all over the floor and Carlos’s gray t-shirt while acrobatically trying to practice his bat wings.

"But will the bats come to our house and watch us?"

On the toilet in the H-E-B in Tarrytown, when they’d been on their way home from tumbling class and Jonah screamed that he needed a potty immediately OR ELSE.

“Where do bats go poop?”

When they first brought up the idea of visiting the bats, they weren’t sure if he would think they were cool or scary. It honestly could have gone either way. But Jonah’s only really ever been scared of three things: the smoke detector that one time when TK tried to sear a steak in a cast-iron skillet, the creepy Rolie Polie Olie art that Carlos bought for his room in the loft, and being left anywhere without TK or Carlos for the first few months after they brought him home. He’s grown out of two of those fears now. One because the nightmare art was trashed. The other faded slowly as Jonah learned that TK and Carlos are always gonna come back.

TARLOS + MY PINTEREST BOARD

just the text messages

[alexxuun]

A mini PHM comic about Grace growing old. I wanted to explore two ideas: Rocky dealing with Grace’s dementia and Grace wanting to donate his body to science. I spend so much time on figuring out the dialogue (some part still feel clunky to me) but I hope it express my thoughts on where I think Grace’s life would go :)

Title is based on a song by M83

Having a lot of feelings about Ryland “you don’t even have a dog” Grace to beloved Uncle Grace pipeline.

The Sleepless Hour

Didn't really plan this short slice-of-life fic—my brain is simply Tarlos-wired 24/7, so I just rolled with it.

G. | Tarlos & Jonah | 2.9k

Summary:

Poke. Poke. “Papa.” Poke. TK opens his eyes. The room is dark. Carlos is snoring loudly beside him, one arm flung over TK’s chest, the other dangling off the edge of the mattress. “Papa,” Jonah’s face is exactly two inches from TK’s. *** In the middle of a rainy night, TK and Carlos are woken up by Jonah, who has something very important to say.

Read on Ao3!

[actuallylemon]

Enter Paul. Will he be successful at quelling TK & Marjan's investigation or will he get sucked into the chaos 🤭 First two chapters of Otherside of the Game are live on ao3 now!

“Oh boy,” Joe said when he opened the front door with a periwinkle muslin burping blanket slung over his shoulder and found a smiling Paul on the other side. “What are you doing here, brother?”

“I’m here to play interference to the Strand Marwani Cabal,” he said with a knowing smirk.

His presence was announced through squeal, that of one Jonah Strand Reyes the second he noticed his favorite uncle was standing in the doorway. 

“What’s up little man?” Paul offered Jonah a high five in the entryway, scooping him up and slinging him over his shoulder like the world’s squirmiest, giggliest backpack on his way into the house while Jonah dissolved into helpless giggles against his back.

“Paul?” Marjan asked, surprised eyes looking up at him from the floor where she was wrestling a wriggling baby Yara into a tiny yellow onesie with the Austin City Limits logo on it. A gift from Uncle Paul. TK was holding Yara’s hands, placing little kisses to the tiny tips of her fingers, while Marjan clasped the buttons at the bottom.

“Yeah,” he said, depositing Jonah on the nearest accent chair. Jonah immediately sprang back up, attempting to climb Paul like a jungle gym. “Did you think Carlos wouldn’t call in backup?”

“Backup?” TK swallowed.

Paul already had his phone out, reading: “Please keep my husband and Marjan from doing anything–” he glanced down at Jonah, staring back at him with big eyes. “S-T-U-P-I-D.”

oh tarlos whump fans~~~~ it's time for another @badthingshappenbingo fill: Organ Theft! naturally a canon divergence of s4e15: Donors. enjoy >:)

Like a Telenovela

Summary:

"I'm promising it now. Any day, every day, as long as it's with you."

He feels Carlos lean in, hovering right next to his face. Now is the time TK needs to open his eyes and prove Andrea right—their love is a fucking telenovela, and Carlos is going to kiss him awake like Sleeping Beauty, and they will get their goddamn happy ending. He puts everything he has into opening them, every thought and hope and microscopic muscle into getting his eyes to open—

But they don't. And Carlos doesn't even see any of his efforts.
