i dont know how to communicate this but every line you write is so good it's maddening. i could get drunk on your word choices and the way you can so easily push and pull at my emotions with vivid imagery too. i am losing my mind with jealousy how do you manage to be so skilled??

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you so much, such kind words! honestly, many run-on sentences, a frustrated writing career and the jayvik cocaine i guess!!! glad you're enjoying it!!

ac, my beloved, can i get a tarlos and #12 "things you said when you thought i was asleep?"

Of course you can!

“I know you’re sleeping but I have got to tell you about my day.”

Carlos almost turned and told TK he’d woken up at the sound of his arrival. But TK would feel bad about it, thinking it was his fault and he was cutting on his sleep, otherwise he would’ve woken him up to tell him whatever it was.”

“There was this call we went on, a drug overdose. You know how hard those can be for me, and I realised that I no longer think about using while I’m on them like I used to.”

He could hear TK undress and throw his uniform in a pile in the corner of the room, something that annoyed Carlos constantly. Then, TK went to the bathroom to start on brushing his teeth. It was with a mouth full of toothpaste and saliva that he kept on talking.

“All I could think about was you and how much I wanted to come home to you. It wasn’t a good wanting to go home feeling, but you, Carlos Reyes, my future husband, consume all of my thoughts. Every time I encounter something difficult, all I can think about is how could it will feel to be in your arms again.”

He spit back into the sink and rinsed his toothbrush.

“And then I come home and you’re asleep.”

TK slid under the covers and wrapped his arms around Carlos.

“Clearly a strategic move so you can be the small spoon,” he whispered. “It’s okay, I love you and I’ll be your big spoon every night even when our hair has gone white if you let me.”

Carlos smiled, happy he got to witness all of this. He had the feeling it was a habit of TK to talk to him when he came home from work, even when he was asleep, or seemed asleep.

i am begging you to tell me about swim captain tk and trainer carlos, for my health! ! also artist carlos college au because we have the same brain for that one

100% swim!captain TK was mostly born out of whatever movie Ronen was in that I didn't watch bc I don't do scary movies (for I am a punk) but supported him via reblogging gifs people made where he was coming out of the pool and my goblin brain said, wouldn't it be nice to do an AU where TK is like this big man on campus that everyone swears will be the next Michael Phelps?... but he's failing his English course and at risk of losing his spot on the team and has to get tutored. And then wouldn't it be so great that Carlos literally does not know anything about how big of a deal TK is on campus and TK is intrigued by this and makes it his mission to break Carlos out of his shell in exchange for his help

Trainer!Carlos is my take on what if the spin instructor (or for this sake, personal trainer) Alex skips out on TK with is Carlos? But in this verse things do not go beyond one date when Carlos realizes Alex is actually in a relationship and he tells TK what's happening. At first TK is in denial hard, but the truth of it comes to light pretty quickly. Carlos becomes a good friend to him and ~*~feelings~*~ come about but their very strange origins make them both hesitant to push for more.

Omg I LOVE this artist/frat boy AU. It features a very awkward first meeting. TK inadvertently offends Carlos' piece in the student art show which is the LAST way he ever pictured himself meeting Carlos for the first time officially. He has had a crush on him for the past year. He works overtime to get into Carlos' good graces and make amends. Carlos is skeptical and has his doubts, but TK is able to disarm him in a way he both loves and is terrified of.

I’ve slowly started to get back into this tarlos college au for @reyescarlos​ who has very generously not been pestering me for it. I haven’t done much yet but the brain juices are finally flowing with fic thoughts again

It was a month later that that he saw him again.

And it was, of course, once again he was doing his rounds. This time it was a frat party, and mercifully, he was on the earlier shift, so he won’t have the fun time of dealing with near passed out drunks. Still somehow he was surprised to see TK once again from afar through the open door as he helped a particularly inebriated student into his cart, and strapped her in for good measure so she didn’t fall out as he drove her home.

In the brief moment that he saw TK, he seemed just like he was the first time he caught Carlos’s eye, full of energy and the life of the party and it made his heart pang with a sense of wanting, just to even be in the same room as him and drink in his presence.

He would get that wish later in the week.

When he wasn’t volunteering his time for the night shift, Carlos would frequently spend his time in the library well into the night, prone to being a night owl. He almost always tries to tuck himself away against one of the far tables against the back wall to minimise distractions but on this occasion he was he was forced to find a table smack bang in the middle of the library.

Hunched over with his books neatly stacked on the table in front of him, marking a barrier for anyone who would choose to share the four seater table with him. Carlos was 4 books deep into Native American anthologies for research for the overarching assignment that he had to progressively work on throughout the rest of the semester, and it was kicking his ass. At this point the words were becoming a blurred mess and he was regretting not having page tags to reference to later.

It was as he slouched down in his seat and tipped his head back with an exhausted sigh when a throat was quietly clears beside him.

“You look like you could do with a pick me up.”

Rolling his head to the side, he found the source of the voice. A mirthful looking TK holding out what looked to be a blueberry muffin. He sat up at the discovery in surprise neither responding to TK or accepting the proffered muffin still in TK’s extended hand.

It wasn’t until TK prompted him by shaking the muffin with raised eyebrows. He thanked TK and watched him as he set the muffin down in front of him and with some small amount of dramatics, pulled out the seated opposite him and dropped into it unceremoniously.

Wordlessly Carlos raised his eyebrows at him and stared at him pointedly, causing TK’s contented face to fall to that of nervousness upon seeing the look.

“I’m sorry, do you mind if I study with you? I couldn’t find any free tables.”

Carlos shrugged, “Well, how could say no when I just accepted a muffin bribe?”

“I could take it back and leave if you’d rather.”

Carlos snatched the muffin from the table as TK pretended to reach for it, “No!” he said sharply, “You can stay. Only if you’re quiet of course.”

TK raised his hand mockingly, “Scouts honour.”

I want to know about the red string of fate AU, please!

@terramous Thank you both! <3

I know everything and absolutely nothing about this fic all at the same time. It is all the little ways in which TK and Carlos find one another, lose each other before finding each other once again. Sonia has told me it's kind of like a Serendipity AU and I am all about having that as a backbone and blueprint for it. It starts in New York and all ends up in Austin when TK moves there to go to UT Austin. It's an idea I've had for quite some time and I really am excited for it. Here's a snippet for you both <3

Carlos is standing at the counter, slicing strawberries and he looks up, his gaze connecting with TK’s. He’s not sure how this is happening, how Carlos is standing here right now. But all the questions disappears as a soft, tired smile appears on Carlos’ lips and if TK could spend every morning just like this, he would never complain about getting up early ever again.

“Hey you.” Carlos greets as TK finally pushes himself to move and approach the counter.

“Hey.” TK says, sitting down on one of the bar stools.

“Would you like some coffee?”

“Yes please.” TK whispers and he watches as Carlos walks to the coffee pot, pouring some into the mug. He then proceeds to put one spoonful of cream in and two of sugar. He then turns and places it down in front of TK. “You remember how I take my coffee after all this time?”

Carlos smiles again. “Yeah, I think it’s kind of the curse of working at a diner. It’s the first thing you learn about people and the one thing you remember about them.”

TK slowly nods and that’s what he gets for thinking he’s more special to Carlos than any of the other people in his life. “Right. So, when Paul said he had a roommate, I had no idea it would be you.” TK says, “Why weren’t you at the party?”

Carlos shrugs a shoulder. “Parties aren’t really my thing, I just kind of like to be by myself after games and just do something casual. It’s lame I know.”

“No it’s not, it’s what works for you. To be honest, Mateo pulled me here and I just played wallflower all night. Trust me, I would have much rather been with you.”

He doesn’t mean to say it in that way but it comes out all the same and he’s left with the words hanging in the air between them. Carlos stares at him for a moment before he slowly smiles.

“Well, any time you want to be, you know you can. I would love the company.” Carlos says and now he’s making it impossible for TK to not think there’s some other meaning behind the words.

“I will keep that in mind.” TK assures him.

hi hello i come bearing thoughts before the new episode that have probably already been shared around the fandom but as my only interaction with fandom discussion is through your blog im here to be annoying. lone star wont give it to me but i think we all need to think about hypothermia and the "they're not dead until they're warm and dead rule" in which tk could be in cardiac arrest from the scene to the hospital and when carlos arrives he gets to watch the cycle of staff regularly switching out compressions and monitoring his temperature as everyone waits with baited breath for his core temp to hit normal range or signs of life <3 just because i think it would be next-level agonising for everyone involved <3 have fun, do with this what you will <3

max, I hereby submit your speculation to the fandom discourse for approval 😅

that definitely feels like it could lead to a very extended moment of tension, and I honestly like the idea of pairing that kind of action with my music montage wish 😬

only a little over an hour to go! 🕺🏻
