weekend wip game

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more).

Thanks to @welcometololaland for kicking this off, plus @liminalmemories21, @rmd-writes, @lemonlyman-dotcom, @orchidscript, @alrightbuckaroo, and @heartstringsduet for the tags!

1. WIP List: had we but world enough (and time) (the TiMER fic) a strong enough foundation (followup to tbah in the Roots Before Branches series, aka “five times Morgan was just like her daddy, and one time she was all her papá”) for better, for worse (bachelor party shenanigans) we were emergencies (the It’s a Wonderful Life/Sliding Doors-esque TK AU) the same in every language (five times Carlos says something in Spanish during sex and one time TK understands) show me the steps so i can go through the motions (4x18 Carlos & Gabriel tag) our hearts are haunted by the ghosts that i made (the no coma AU that angst built) Still Sadly Untitled Phone Fic (five times Tarlos had to replace a phone) Untitled HGTV AU Untitled [Film] Fusion Untitled Breakup Era Hookup (accidental club run-in where Jealous TK Makes Choices) Untitled [Redacted] AU (collab with @ambiguouspenny) The One Where Carlos Gets Shot …do you know how happy I am that to build a home is not on this list?

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest? The TiMER fic! It wasn’t even supposed to be second in line, it just bullied its way to the top of the list.

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest? Oof. If I didn’t know myself so well, I’d say we were emergencies, but since I do, it’ll probably be the HGTV fic.

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why? The TiMER fic has been a lot of fun to write, despite it being hurtier than I intended, but I think that’s just down to being in TK’s head for the first time. But every single snippet of for better, for worse makes me grin like a loon without fail, so it’s that one, hands down.

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why? Hat trick for the TiMER AU. I think I was so excited about the premise and the possibilities of it all — I’ve wanted to write a TiMER fic since I first saw the movie, and a Soulmates fic for even longer — I didn’t really stop to consider that, after ~64k of building on and in-between canon, I was going to have to… build on and in-between canon. There’s a substantial element of re-imagining for this one, just because of the nature of the TiMER as a literal plot device, but there are times I’m still like fuuuuuck, I have to do this thing completely differently now.

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why? the same in every language. It’s not a plot-what-plot, it’s literally sex as plot, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about making it work.

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why? Both for better, for worse and we were emergencies will need outside attention to make sure they’re working as planned, and I’ll definitely be enlisting @hoko-onchi-writes’ Smutmancer services to make sure the same in every language is worth anything at all.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block? I’m just laughing right now. That’s my answer.

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them? Definitely we were emergencies. His name is Simon, he’s a vet (as in healer of animals, not former military man, but he has Seen Some Things in his particular line of work so the latter isn’t far off), and he has a history with Carlos that he’d very much like to be a future with Carlos. He’s also totally scruff-and-curls era Zane Phillips in my head, and both @ambiguouspenny and I are sort of shamelessly infatuated with him. To quote Tay, after being virtually introduced to Dr. Simon: “do you even like TK?”

10. Which WIP is the sexiest? One would think it’s the aforementioned fic where sex is the plot, but the TiMER fic has some moments, y’all.

11. Which WIP is the angstiest? I mean, pick your poison. As I said, the TiMER fic is angstier than intended. The Breakup Era Hookup will be hot angst, but angst nonetheless. There’s one where Carlos gets shot. And I know it sounds like show me the steps so i can go through the motions might be an obvious answer, considering The Gabriel Factor, but the real winner is probably our hearts are haunted by the ghosts that i made. I told Tay the actual premise and they threw me in angst jail.

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)? a strong enough foundation is a real contender here, because it’s the Carlos I already know and love, but I think it might actually be for better, for worse, simply because it’s all of Team Tarloft, and I have something of a knack for ensemble fics, if I do say so myself.

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)? Either the HGTV fic or the Untitled Film Fusion. Probably the former, because pretty pretty interiors are like porn for me.

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on? Surprising no one, the TiMER fic. Snippets aside, I’m a “one WIP at a time” kind of girl.

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why? In a weird way, I think this is usually the fic I’m currently working on. Some Yuletide fic aside (mostly pinch hits and quick treats), I always want to feel like whatever I’m writing is the best thing I’ve done — that way I get the sense that I’m growing. That said, though I’ve written a kid in fic (Teddy from The Magicians), I have never written kidfic, and the plan I have for a strong enough foundation makes me really excited.

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs? Not the actual fics, no, but I do dream about characters.

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't? our hearts are haunted by the ghosts that i made has to tread some very thin ice, due to its premise, and I’m hoping I can find the right balance with it. And that it doesn’t make people hate me.

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour? for better, for worse. And it’s not even close.

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process? The Untitled Phone Fic has an outsider POV! An OC outsider, even. She’s an overworked, underpaid girl named Kelsey, and she’s sort of precious. This one’s still in early stages, just an outline and a handful of snippets, but Kelsey is very clear in my head.

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs. One involves an unreliable narrator, one involves an inanimate object as a running theme, and one involves revenge.

I am so very late to this, so consider it an open tag for anyone who’d still like to talk WIPs!

I Only Need You

In the run up to the wedding, Carlos's bachelor party ends with something he couldn't have imagined...

(Rating E for sexual content. Heed the AO3 tags).

There comes a point, edging towards midnight on the night of his bachelor party, when Carlos wonders if the only reason he and TK are celebrating on separate nights this week is so their friends have an excuse for two parties. He drinks more wine than he usually does, and Nancy talks him into doing shots that taste like peppermint, makes it a race—a race Carlos is glad to partake in until he starts to think it’s a race to see who throws up first, and promptly bows out of the running. Mateo mocks him mercilessly for it, and Marjan slings an arm around his shoulder as he staggers towards the comfortable chairs, and says something that piques both his interest and his anxiety.

“Almost time for the big finish,” she says, and Carlos goes as still as his thrumming body will let him.

“Big…?” Is all he can manage.

Read the rest on AO3

Written for Tarlos Wedding Countdown Prompts #1: Bachelor Party. Thank you @tarlosweeklyprompts for the prompts and inspiration.

[tkslittlesway]

Completely random, but do you guys think we will see bachelor parties at all?? If so, what do you guys want to see? A huge single one, or two separate ones. Orrrr two separate ones where they accidentally end up at the same club or bar and Tarlos reenact their first hook up 15 mins into it 😂

[actuallysara]

top 3 wishes for the tarlos wedding?

oh hell nah you can't only ask me threeeee

Ok first of all I'm not a fan of big and pompous weddings in general and I don't even think that would be them so I'm hoping for something lowkey and cozy and intimate and that feels like them.

Then I really need it to be a celebration of their love and their love only and I need to see every single moment of it like I need air. I need to see them saying goodbye in the morning (cause they obviously didn't wanna sleep apart) to get ready for the day and I need one of them to go "see you at the altar". I need one of them getting pre-wedding jitters and not because they're having second thoughts but just because they want everything to go perfectly and I need the other to sneak out to comfort him and also tell him how beautiful and hot he looks. I need emotional vows that will make me bawl my eyes out and if they cry too? that's a big fck yes. I need a first slow dance and then I need carlos to go "hey you wanna dance?" and have a parallel to the first time they ever danced together. I need carlos to have a dance with his mum and then I need TK to have a dance with his now mother in law. I need them to have a good wedding night and a so well freaking deserved honeymoon.

And, thinking about it, you know what's the best part of it all? that in whatever way their wedding will go, it doesn't really matter cause ronen and rafa are gonna DELIVER and I'm gonna be. eating. that. shit. up.

Oh and also I need to see their bachelor(s) party(es)

and obviously a mention to gwyn <;/3

Honesty Hour: Ask me anything! Nothing will go unanswered

[strandnreyes]

I got the feeling the fandom just focuses on the drama instead of the wedding™ which is just sad! So what are your thoughts on: vows? wedding kiss? possible last names? first dance and if so which song? who will be giving speeches? possible sneak off/sex moment? or a tarlos alone moment? honeymoon destination? bachelor party? what else wedding related you want to talk about! Let’s spread joy and love!

okay yes I’m all for being excited about the wedding!

vows? tears. sobbing. I’m inconsolable, my dog is inconsolable, the neighbors are getting concerned. we see TK holding a piece of paper, if he fidgets with it or his hands are shaky for one (1) second, I will be unwell <3 from what we’ve heard of Carlos’ so far, that’s already a guarantee. ALSO, if TK says anything in relation to how he was feeling in season 1, I will cry the whole hiatus over the parallel gifsets that are made

wedding kiss? TEARS. oh god I could go on a rampage about carlos getting to kiss TK in front of his family when he never thought we would have it (if TK cups Carlos’ face so we can see his ring?? BYE).

I do think they’ll just keep their last names, but I would love a hyphenated one. I don’t even care which order at this point. If they do it, I’m obsessed.

First dance????? I have no idea. I’ve seen people root for the night we met but that’s very much a breakup song so 😬 not that

We see Owen giving a speech at the rehearsal dinner which I’m excited for because of him bringing TK to Texas to meet Carlos and watching what Carlos has done for his son, yeah I’m already crying 😭 and then there’s the mystery speech giver at the reception so hmmmm

possibly sneaking off? this is the same couple that said “I do remember the fifteen minutes after we met”, right? So definitely. Those bowties had to get lost somewhere

Honeymoon? idc just put those boys somewhere warm and let me see them sun-kissed and stupidly giddy

Bachelor party? If they did one, I’m full in the joint-party camp. They have the same friend group ajdhaj so unless they’re inviting some of those 50 random people at their wedding, it has to be joint. They’re gross and in love the whole time and everyone hates them. Someone definitely brought up the idea of a cop/firefighter stripper which was promptly shut down. They’ll have their own private strip tease later

[taralaurel]

Title: i got you (to love me so)

Relationship: Carlos Reyes/TK Strand

Rating: T for themes

Word Count: 6.4k

Summary:

TK throws them a bachelor party. After the line dancing, drag queens, and karaoke are through, they have a few things they need to say to each other.

"Hey baby, this was supposed to be a surprise but one of your fellow officers brought up the great point that you might accidentally shoot someone if we just all jumped out and turned the lights on while you have your gun out. Which, in hindsight, is an excellent point and I will rethink any surprises for you in the future. Please holster your weapon, cowboy, and come inside. Love, TK"

"PS - really, this is a good surprise. I'm not like being held hostage or something and trying to trick you. Don't shoot me."

"PPS - also don't shoot me after you find out what is happening because we talked about not doing this but I couldn't help myself because I love you too much."

Fic Rec Friday

Tagged by @heartstringsduet, @tailoredshirt, @bonheur-cafe, and @irispurpurea, thanks everyone!

The Rules:

tag a fic that makes you laugh / smile so much your cheeks hurt and give a brief description of why it’s awesome. Then tag some fellow associates. The wider the reach, the better.

My Hand in Yours by @noxsoulmate- I’ve said from day one that Tarlos is all about the hands, so this sweet post-breakup fic about how much Carlos loves T.K. playing with his hands just melts me!

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose by @bluenet13- The 126 playing football and dissolving into complete chaos is the stuff my dreams are made of. Nancy calling “illegal use of hands” on Tarlos? Incredible!

Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes by @tailoredshirt- Perfect timing to read this one if you haven’t already as it involves Carlos’ bachelor party going hilariously wrong! The poor man is frantic and it’s so adorable, I laughed so hard! Plus there’s whump as well!

I think everyone’s been tagged at this point because I’m super late, but feel free to jump in if you haven’t been!

[paperstorm]

We haven't seen TK in any of the actual BTS pics that are actually on set. The only one we have is Ronen but that's clearly a posed picture rather than a still. It's entirely possible that the Huntingtons is a misdirection and just as we're all celebrating TK being cleared, he's caught up in an accident and gets in his fourth coma and Carlos is by his bedside for days hence the beard. This would count as Carlos having to earn that happiness if he's sitting by TK's side praying for him to wake up. It could also be how his sisters are brought in with them coming to see them in the hospital. It's even possible that this happens on their wedding day where everyone is ready and waiting but TK never shows up or the 126 is called for a massive accident. It would actually be an interesting parallel to 1x08 and 3x04 if that happened where this time Tarlos is both official and getting married. It could also be the "not so good" wake up scene. They did something similar in 3x18 with Owen thinking his cancer was back only to be crushed by a building and wake up and find out he didn't have cancer after all. With the whole Robert thing, it would all tie in pretty well

Ooh that’s an interesting thought. Almost like a bachelor party type thing lol, most men wanna go to a strip club one last time before they get tied down but TK needs to get in one last coma.

[meditating-honey-badger]

I got the feeling the fandom just focuses on the drama instead of the wedding™ which is just sad! So what are your thoughts on: vows? wedding kiss? possible last names? first dance and if so which song? who will be giving speeches? possible sneak off/sexy moment? or a tarlos alone moment? honeymoon destination? bachelor party? what else wedding related you want to talk about! Let’s spread joy and love!

Great question. Here are my thoughts.

Vows

They're definitely writing their own, since we already got a mini clip of Carlos’s. All I know is that they're gonna have me in tears

Wedding Kiss

Tasteful, with a little tongue

Last Names

My vote is for Reyes-Strand

First dance

No clue

Speeches

Definitely Iris and Owen. Maybe some toasts by some of the 126 crew? Tommy and Judd maybe.

Sneak Off/Sexy Moment

I wish, but I don't think we'll actually get a sneak off moment. I'm hoping we get honeymoon sexy times though.

Tarlos Alone Moment

This would be nice, but I'm not sure they'll get it until the honeymoon. I'm guessing they aren't going to see each other right before the wedding, until they both start walking down the aisle together.

Honeymoon Destination

Some place warm and tropical!

Bachelor Party

I'd like them to have one but I'm not sure they can squeeze that in based on everything we already know is going to happen.
