Hello! I voted early and all I got is a future voter sticker 😔 but I also found a picture of the normal stickers people were getting!

I would love to request a tarlos headcanon or drabble! Whichever you’d prefer ☺️💕

Oh wonderful! Thank you for voting 💜 honestly it's great that so many people showed up that they ran out of stickers and had to give you a different one.

Here is a headcanon for you 🥰

Even now when he's a married man Carlos still runs around meticulously cleaning the already clean loft when someone says they want to stop by, especially if it's either of their parents.

TK doesn't really get it, having lived with his parents for so long and spending 24 hours at a time sometimes with his friends. But he helps anyway by making sure all the things on the kitchen and table are neat and tidy and also following Carlos around reminding him to breathe and that they won't be judged for having a speck of dust on their bookshelf.

If you want to participate in my election day show and tell all the info is in this post

Where All This Love Comes From

I'm so excited to share what has been known as Flashback Fic! 107k words, with all 14 chapters here on Ao3, rated E.

Six months after Gabriel Reyes’ death, TK grows concerned about Carlos’ drinking and brings him to a meeting at the Y. Afterwards, over omelets at the diner, the husbands open up to each other. TK reflects on meeting Carlos after years of addiction and self-destruction, while Carlos has continued to seek closure by uncovering two unknowns: The identity of his father’s killer, and how his father truly felt about Carlos as his son.

************************************************

Carlos puts his arms around him from behind and holds him still, kissing his neck. TK tries to twist in Carlos’ grip, but he won’t let him. He starts walking him towards the bedroom. “I’m desperate for you,” TK says, his blood hot, cheeks red, eyes pricking with tears. “I know.” “Make me forget everything.” “I will.” “I only want to think about you.” “You will.” Carlos stops for a breath. He smells TK – his clean hair, his evanesced cologne, his natural man scent, his salty tears that have imbued his skin, the sweat of stress. Sad, but still beautiful to Carlos. TK, delicious. “I never thought I’d have you. I never thought–” he can’t speak anymore.

***********************************************

Chapter 1: A Trail to Follow

In 2023, TK discovers something that triggers memories of heroin withdrawal seven years before – and Carlos makes amends with Gutiérrez after accusing him of his father’s murder.

Chapter 2: A Very Nice Sweater for the 'Y'

TK takes Carlos to the N.A. meeting – but when things don’t go as hoped, he instigates another method to get Carlos talking.  

Chapter 3: Snowballing

A messy situation in 2010 causes TK as a high school junior to lash out. In 2023, Carlos realizes it's time to tell TK about one more secret. 

Chapter 4: Original Sin

In 2013, Carlos accidentally destroys Gabriel’s oldest friendship. Nine years later, he attempts to make peace after he and TK get engaged.

Chapter 5: Between Two Bridges

In 2022, a grieving and struggling TK is compelled to talk to Owen about his 2020 overdose, which leads him to remember when his addiction nearly killed him years before. In 2023, TK asks Carlos about his history with alcohol. (Note: Chapter features TK using and gets fairly graphic)

Chapter 6: One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor

TK and Carlos compare notes on when they first came out – with Carlos spiraling in 2011 after an unexpected outburst, while TK in 2008 is embraced (and embarrassed) by his parents. In 2021, both handle the raw days of their breakup differently too.

Chapter 7: A Boy's Best Friend

In 2009, Gabriel attempts to connect with his increasingly distant and unhappy teenage son. In 2013, the fallout of Carlos leaving Iris has begun, and he knows his relationship with his parents will never be the same. In 2023, TK tries to talk to Gabriel about the bombshell revelation that Carlos doesn’t want kids.

Chapter 8: Your Heart, As If It Was My Very Own

In 2011, TK is left bewildered after he loses his virginity. Years later, with Carlos, TK's mind (among other things) is blown in a whole new way. In 2022, TK has an important conversation with a certain visitor when he wakes from his coma.

Chapter 9: Coffee with Gutiérrez

In September 2023, Carlos seeks an important but painful truth from Gutiérrez, and finds an unexpected ally within the 126. Two months later in Blue Moon Diner, TK gets ready to tell Carlos more about his past in New York.

Chapter 10: The Day Begins Like Any Other

In 2016, after TK experiences an assault and sees an old friend again under devastating circumstances, he makes a life-altering decision when his dealer suggests he try something new. In 2009, TK is attacked at school. (Note: Please heed the tags and the chapter note. Reader discretion advised. Look after your hearts).

Chapter 11: Lonely as a Sparrow in the Rain

When Carlos confesses to TK about where he went with Judd back in September – and why – TK has to tell Carlos something he won't want to hear. In 2014, a rift develops when Carlos shows off his new Camaro to his parents.

Chapter 12: Happy For You, Son

Before moving to Austin, TK falls out with his parents over his relationship with Alex. In December 2020, it's a different story as Carlos hosts Owen and Gwyn for TK's birthday meal. In 2012, Carlos has some unexpected news for his own parents, but Michelle tries to intervene. When TK and Carlos get engaged a decade later, Gabriel has something to say about it.

Chapter 13: The Risk of Love

In May 2023, Owen and TK save a spiraling Carlos from making the biggest mistake of his life when he thinks he’s found his father’s killer. In 2020, TK and Carlos become boyfriends beneath a sky full of aurora borealis.

Chapter 14: A Night Worth Celebrating

On a rainy night in 2020, TK and Carlos meet for the first time. In 2023, weeks after their big talk at Blue Moon, TK celebrates his thirtieth birthday with his husband, their family and their friends by his side – and Carlos is a little bit better at sharing his secrets.

TOMMY VEGA & NANCY GILLIAN & TK STRAND 9-1-1 : LONE STAR: 2x14 5x03

[emsprovisions]

That 4x02 gif set always gives me such feels. I love how Carlos didn’t panic. He clearly knew TK was feeling some type of way by the way he immediately puts down the menus and comes over to talk but TK says “ maybe this marriage is a bad idea.” And Carlos doesn’t panic. He just comes over and all through that convo he is giving off such comfort vibes. No wonder it takes TK .2 seconds to smile

Carlos was so steady in season four when faced with TK being very upset, it happened multiple times and I loved it so much. It shows how well they know each other, it shows Carlos has learned exactly how to help when his boyfriend/fiancé is spiralling. He's so calm and soothing, he just makes it all better with a few words and a vulnerable confession to make TK feel loved and cared for and valued and in just a few minutes TK is smiling through his tears. I would die to see something like that again!!!! But we were so fed by it in season 4.

me when the devastating fanfic I chose to read is actually devastating

[emsprovisions]

Why does it feel like it's been at least a month since the last new Lone Star episode 😭

[emsprovisions]

We make a pretty good team. We really do. Don’t we?

Music Monday

Thanks for the tags last week @paperstorm @reyesstrand @tellmegoodbye @heartstringsduet @nisbanisba @theghostofashton <3

this song (specifically the part below) reminds me a lot of how the fire ultimately led to the break up. specifically from Carlos’ pov

So is seven sentence sunday an only 9-1-1 lone star thing?

Hi anon! I’ve seen it take place in the Red, White, and Royal Blue fandom too! I haven’t looked but I’m sure many fandoms do it. I think it’s a really fun and great way to connect with your mutuals and participate in fandom. If your fandom isn’t doing it, you should start it! Don’t be afraid or embarrassed about tagging people either, it’s all part of the fun!

[emsprovisions]

me? participating in SSS? it’s more likely than you think…anyway here’s an excerpt from something I’ve been working on recently ❤️

"You get your shoulder rebandaged okay?"

TK slowly releases him and runs a hand through his wet, freshly-showered hair. "Yep, guess that's one nice thing about being dual-certified - do-it-yourself wound care!" He grins up at Carlos in a way that sends butterflies fluttering through his stomach for the hundredth time in the last day.

"TK, we're already dating, you don't have to keep trying to impress me," Carlos teases. TK just sticks his tongue out at him and turns around to hoist himself up onto the counter, only wincing a little bit.

His boyfriend falls silent as Carlos keeps cooking, feeling those green eyes following his every move intently. He finishes the potatoes and the eggs, dividing them up into two identical plates as TK prepares their coffee—black for him, and so much cream and sugar for TK it should probably be illegal—and it really shouldn't feel this momentous, but it does.

thank you to @carlos-in-glasses, @carlossreaders, and @lemonlyman-dotcom for the tags!

open tag since it's late and I'm new to this ❤️
