what if we could risk everything we have

Having published his second novel, author TK Strand embarks on a book tour. During one of his stops in Austin, he meets Carlos Reyes, the owner of the bookstore TK is meant to spend his time in. Quickly, the two begin to find themselves building a connection and inevitably falling for one another. As they continue to spend time together, they are soon torn apart by TK having to leave for his next stop on his tour.

Or the bookshop owner/author AU

Words: 20k

TK knows one thing and it’s that he is thankful for coffee shops. No matter what city he’s in or what time he arrives, there’s always one to be found. It’s become his new thing, the moment he lands and leaves the airport, he finds a coffee shop. Not only does it give him a sense of calm but it also helps the never-ending sense of exhaustion he consistently feels. He always finds it interesting to find the smallest local cafes and try their lattes because sure, there’s a Starbucks usually the moment he walks out of the airport, but he likes to dig further than that.

He sips on his usual vanilla Chai latte as he walks down the sidewalks of Austin, following the GPS on his phone in order to find the bookshop he will be doing his meet and greets in. He’s pretty used to it all by now, arriving and trying to find the shops, meeting the owners, meeting the people and then leaving for the next city. It’s a constant cycle and while he adores getting to meet the people that have read his books and getting to hear their stories, he finds the other stuff pretty repetitive. He wishes he could spend so much more time in the cities, taking in the sights more before leaving, but he finds that’s probably not going to happen any time soon. But he always makes a mental note of each city and where he should go if he should ever come back.

He knows that his home will always be in New York, but getting to visit the places he does, he wonders what it would be like to live in each one. He tries his hardest to not get attached to each one, but there’s always something that makes him think about it. But none of it is ever enough, he finds, because he knows he will always return home.

TK watches as a little ‘you’ve arrived at your destination’ message pops up onto his screen and he steps out of the way of the people on the sidewalk before looking up at it. It’s a small building tucked away off the street and flowers out in front of it. Beside it, there’s a café and there’s people sitting at the tables outside reading books. TK watches as a little girl bounces up and down as her mother takes a picture book out of a bag before passing it to her. He smiles as he turns back to the shop before he takes a deep breath and pushes open the door.

Out here making me cry in my tags. Smh.

This is what I do though. I ramble in the tags and on the Discord and I bring the feels.

Also I will forever bang the pots and pans to chant "Carlos makes TK feel safe" because it's true. The home he provided, the life they're building together? Even when TK stumbles it's not the fall it used to be because he knows he's OK. He is loved and supported unconditionally and there's no sense of obligation to Carlos when it comes to his sobriety.

I don't think TK has felt safe since 9/11 when his family and the city he lived in was torn apart, and somewhere between S1 and S2 that changed. He has solid ground beneath his feet and sturdy walls around him and warm arms to hold him.

And he is safe.

T!!! You made me finish a whole section with this 😍 not gonna post all 40 sentences though, or it will give too much away 😉 so here's just a little sneak peek:

🏘 Neighbors AU

“How about this time, I’ll tell you a bedtime story instead?”

The question came unexpectedly but it had Carlos smile instantly. “I’m intrigued. What’s it about?”

“Only if you settle down and promise to try and sleep.”

“Fine,” Carlos caved and did as he was told – but not without fondly rolling his eyes. The moment the light was out and he was settled in bed, he said, “All done. So, what’s the story about?”

“Alright,” came the excited voice through the wall. “This story is about a honey bee and how important this little dude is for our world–”

“I thought all honey bees are female,” Carlos threw in, his voice already a bit slurry with sleep, and a soft smile edged to his lips.

“Hey, plus points to you for knowing that,” his neighbor replied, and in his mind’s eye, Carlos saw a giddy grin spread over the vague shapes of a face he’d yet to see. He pushed that thought aside and listened to the charming voice instead. “Anyway, our little dudette –” Carlos couldn’t help but snort in amusement “– is absolutely fascinating. Did you know that honey bees never sleep? And still, one tiny bee spends its whole life producing the equivalent of only half a teaspoon of honey. Oh, and…”

That night, Carlos fell asleep with a huge smile on his lips, listening to his dorky neighbor’s warm voice as he was telling him all kinds of fun facts about honey bees. He couldn’t remember the last time he had slept that well.

#also Ronen pretending to toss Carlos’s salad (innuendo intended) for that entire scene us so funny

SCREAMING. He needed a valid reason to stand there and just watch Carlos rage 🤣

Every time I watch that scene, I can’t even appreciate Carlos’s angst because I’m so distracted by Ronen using a set of big wooden salad spoons to toss, like, 3 leaves of lettuce over and over again. It’s so funny. They just gave Ronen a bowl of lettuce and he Did His Best

Finally getting round to write this fic. hope you enjoy this sneak peak ❤

TK woke to his alarm, seeing 10 am shining back at him as he turned it off. He finally had a day off. He was happy for the break but felt sad at not being able to spend it with Carlos as his shift started 3 hours ago. As TK stretched out he was surprised to hit a solid form on his left. Glancing beside him TK was shocked to see Carlos sound asleep next to him.
