What are your favourite Lone Star fanfics?

Okay... so I’m bad at bookmarking, but I’m going to do my best to compile some of my faves. Most of them are probably a bit dark, but there’s some more lighthearted stuff too. I’ve honestly probably wiped some good ones from my memory because they hurt too much... hahah.

Grey Zone by aewriting

T.K. seeks out a random hookup in an attempt to feel something... and distract himself from what he might be feeling for Carlos. 

This fic is just really well done. It tells the story wonderfully and builds it up with just the right amount of tension and angsty undertones. Good Tarlos moments and a great scene of Owen calling T.K. on his bullshit.

Also, Uniform by this author is also really good.

When a fellow officer sees Carlos and T.K. at the club together and expresses an interest, Carlos struggles to define their relationship, and his own feelings.

The Many Names of TK Strand by tabbytabbytabby

It all starts when someone asks what TK stands for, and only escalates from there. 

This fic is just really amusing and fun to read, and probably great for all of you who are wondering about T.K.’s name. This was written before we knew it was Tyler Kennedy, but it’s still so cute and worth a read. I laughed and smiled a lot.

as the world halts into darkness by Lire_Casander 

Darkness.

He canʼt see anything. Heʼs surrounded by a black hole that threatens to eat him up hole, and he couldn’t care less. He must be in shock.

At least he isn’t hurting.

AN ANGSTY ONE! Some of it could be very triggering so be warned and read the tags. I loved this one because you can really feel the dark state of mind T.K. is in and it feels very visceral. I love this author in general, but I really loved this fic. It’s the third part of a series, so I’d recommend reading all of those if you want.

Pressure by HaleyDingle 

Speculations for 1x08

Alternative version of my fic “Bottle”

TK gets overwhelmed by guilt and relapses.

Another author I’d recommend multiple works from, Pressure is a dark fic that may have some triggering content. It’s actually an alternate storyline based on the fic Bottle. I don’t know what it says about me that Pressure is the version I preferred (both are stellar though), but it just shows T.K. fighting addiction and inner darkness in a great way.

This Unreachable Sunrise by evening_spirit   

TK wants to be able to feel. But feelings have consequences and sometimes it's easier to stay in the no-feels zone. As TK tries to balance Carlos, new friendships and his Dad's illness, he turns his back on the way the world around him turns to ash. If he keeps up the brave face and believes everything's gonna be fine, it has to actually be fine, right? Isn't that how it works?

A 1x03 coda that turned into a series of episode fills (but with a twist).

For whatever reason, I always read this fic as “The Unreachable Spirit” somehow combining the Title with the username, but despite this, I love this fic so much. It explores little moments of the episodes that we didn’t get to see, and it’s still a work in progress, but with ten chapters already, it’s really got so much going for it. It will have a lot of hard to deal with themes but written in a great way that feels hopeful. Also, check out As Long As I Dare

Coma Patient by Piper__b

At a riot, Carlos gets jumped and ends up in the hospital. TK is worried out of his mind and confesses...only to have Carlos hear?

This one is really funny... well not really funny... but it’s kind of funny that it features Carlos in a coma (written pre T.K. in a coma). It’s pretty short, but it’s a cute fic that shows the love between T.K. and Carlos. Lots of other good fics to be found through this author.

if we burn it down and it takes all night by SuburbanSun

When TK offers to go with him to a precinct social event, Carlos isn’t sure it’s such a good idea— the other cops bring spouses, girlfriends, families, not their buddies.

But hey, what else are friends are for?

I love this because it shows T.K. being casually brought into Carlos’ world and then easing into their relationship. Really fun, and I love a good pretend relationship fic (BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE MORE THAN FRIENDS)

Silver Key by keeryscupojoe

It'd been a few months since TK and Carlos started dating officially and Carlos thought it'd be a good idea to give his boyfriend a key. Though the key originally wasn't used a lot, here's a few instances where it was.

DOMESTIC TARLOS!! That’s what matters here. I really love it. Just super cute and I think a good characterization. A nice short read.

birthday surprise, in more ways than one by evaneddie

owelle share an i love you moment

For all the Owelle stans. This is very cute. I really love a good I Love You moment, so this is very good. Also, a first kiss is always fun!! A pretty quick read too. I’d also recommend just thinking for some Marjeo action or breathe me in and hold me close, which has both Marjep and also Tarlos (it’s about the events after T.K. was shot).

i saved us a night in the sun by Madeofsequins

How to date the guy you're not dating in five easy steps; a.k.a. five times TK didn't go home with Carlos (and one time he did).

Okay, this takes a lot to get to the Tarlos, but I love the build up, and at less than 3000 words, it doesn’t take long to get through it. Well done story and just super cute.

The One Where Carlos Uses His Badge by tigermoo9

A guy is trying to talk to TK until Carlos shows up.

I really enjoyed this. Fluff, humor, established relationship-- good stuff here. Carlos doesn’t want anyone to be messing with his man.

The Blame Game by landy67

TK Strand really shouldn't be turned on by Carlos Reyes arresting people.

He also should stop getting into bar fights.

Or, a shameless fluff fest derived from the fact that Carlos would definitely blame himself if TK got hurt.

This is funny and fun, but also has some good serious moments between Carlos. It’s very sweet and well worth the read.

Safe in Your Arms by Strxnghxrringrove

Another Tumblr prompt:

Hi love! Would you be okay with writing something with and aggressive drunk guy and scared TK with badass carlos and badass fire fam? Because lets face it TK is a smol little baby and everyone is protective over him pleaseeeee love you

If you have an idea, send it to me on Tumblr- 911xtarlos

I LOVE THIS. Protective Carlos, asshole drunk guy, and TK= the perfect setup for a story. There are also some great Judd moments in this. It’s really cute in the end too. I cannot recommend this enough. At only 725 words, you could quickly read this great one!!

[snailmailworldwide]

Hey my name is Chloe! I’m 28 years old. I live in Lexington, Kentucky. I’ve always lived in America. Born and raised. I love to travel but haven’t for the past few years. I’m 28 but feel more like 22! I’m definitely a young soul yet sometimes I feel like an old soul. I love art. I love to draw and paint. I love making all types of illustrations. I’ve got pretty crafty over the years. I am a huge cat lady!! I love cats so much that most people think I’m a complete weirdo but owell! I’m super into makeup too. I find makeup to be a form of art and a creative outlet for me as well! I view my body as a blank canvas that I can create anything I want. I’m very into fashion and I guess more so just creating my own style. I love poetry and any type of good book I can sit down and get cozy with. I really am into self help books. Any type of inspirational type of thing ya know!? I definitely feel like I have a good sense of humor lol I mean if I do say so myself I think I’m pretty funny! I love laughing it’s just the best medicine. I have soooo many crazy and hilarious stories. Most people don’t believe me when I tell them. They don’t think I’ve lived the life I have but yes I have! I used to live a very risky lifestyle and struggled hard with addictions in my younger years. Luckily I was one of the fortunate people in the world that lived through it to tell the tale and hopefully inspire and help someone els that may be struggling. I really enjoying listening to other people. People have told me I’m a great listener and I give really good input on situations if I could only follow it myself haha. I’m also really into skin care. I really want to go back to school to become an aesthetician and work in some type of day spa! I’m a plant lover! Well there’s a little tid bit about me. I would really love to find someone to start writing and sending little bits of artwork maybe back-and-forth to!

Flying Squirrel / Ink on drawing paper / 2010

Drew this flying squirrel in art class during my senior year of high school. I started inking with an old pen that left sort of a brownish/gray tint until it eventually ran out of ink. Had to finish the rest with a brand new pen so it looks funny. Owell, points for uniqueness right? :P

Ortiz-Nieves shouted at the judge, who called him a "monster," while others in the gallery cursed and cried. "You beat this child, you brutalized this child and you tortured this child," Kent County Circuit Judge Mark Trusock said Thursday, Jan. 11, before the defendant's outburst. He said Giovanni Mejias was bruised from "head to toe, front to back." He had seven broken ribs, a bruise in the shape of a belt buckle and a fatal blow to his stomach that caused internal bleeding. Man found guilty in blunt-force trauma death of girlfriend's son, 4 Man found guilty in blunt-force trauma death of girlfriend's son, 4 The defendant, 27, was the boyfriend of the victim's mother, Sonja Hernandez, who has supported him. Ortiz-Nieves, who contends he is innocent and plans to appeal, erupted as the judge reviewed evidence at trial that resulted in the defendant's convictions of felony murder, carrying a mandatory life sentence with no parole, and first-degree child abuse. Homicide victim, 4, had 'remarkable' injuries, says medical examiner Homicide victim, 4, had 'remarkable' injuries, says medical examiner Sheriff's deputies led the defendant into a courtroom hallway, where he stayed while the judge sentenced a defendant in an unrelated case. Ortiz-Nieves returned calmer but the judge - who said he would sentence him in court or in jail - was not finished. "You are the lowest form of human life. You are a monster, and, quite frankly, you are evil," Trusock said. "You should never be allowed out of prison. ... You will die in the prison system." He sentenced Ortiz-Nieves to life in prison without hope for parole in the killing, and an 80- to 150-year concurrent sentence for child abuse. The victim's grandmother, Nora Villarreal-Mulero, said her family took balloons to his gravesite on Wednesday, the little boy's birthday. "We'll never see him again. I'll never seen him grow up," she told the judge. "(Ortiz-Nieves) tore our family apart." Man claims he tried relieving 4-year-old's stomach bloating, not injure him Man claims he tried relieving 4-year-old's stomach bloating, not injure him Assistant Kent Count Prosecutor Travis Earley said that the defendant's supporters, who have backed him in media reports, are badly misinformed. The evidence at trial was strong, particularly about the boy's injuries. Dr. David Start, a forensic pathologist, said the boy suffered blows "with the force equivalent with an automobile accident," Earley told the judge. Ortiz-Nieves said he didn't hurt the boy, but was trying "to help him," he told the judge. The boy was not breathing when someone called 911 on June 13 to a mobile home in the 200 block of North Green Meadow Street in Gaines Township. Ortiz-Nieves was there with Giovanni and six other children. Ortiz-Nieves said the boy was sick, and he poked the child's stomach to get him to vomit. He told another child to call 911 when the boy's condition deteriorated. He began CPR, he said. A jury took an hour to find him guilty. Ortiz-Nieves blew a kiss at someone as he entered the courtroom. As he left, a woman said, "I love you, Nelson."

Rescuers rushed to the scene Friday, Jan. 4 but were unable to pull the woman from the icy waters before she went into cardiac arrest and died, state police said. She was identified as 60-year-old Lynne Bever of Linwood north of Bay City. The woman called 911 about 10:30 a.m. after the machine went through ice on Long Lake. A state police trooper was about three miles away at the time and hurried to the area. The trooper found that the woman was in the water about 200 yards off shore and her boyfriend, who also had been riding a snowmobile, was nearby and trying to reach her. The trooper then tried to cross the ice but discovered it was too weak to hold him. Soon after, other rescuers donned anti-exposure suits and began crawling toward the woman but they ended up falling into the water along with the boyfriend and his machine. Those rescuers managed to pull the boyfriend from the water. Rescuers then reached the woman, but could not get her out of the water and were forced to wait for an airboat from East Grand Lake Fire Department to pull her out. She was rushed to Mid-Michigan Medical Center in Alpena but pronounced dead. A medical examiner and doctors determined she died from drowning.

Dominique Lewis was shot and killed on July 16, 2014, during a traffic stop on Flushing Road near Eldorado Street in Flint Township. The family of Lewis filed the lawsuit in April 2015 in Detroit U.S. District Court after Lewis' death. Flint Township Police Department and township police Officer Matthew Needham, who fired the fatal shots, are named as defendants in the case. There will be a special meeting on Monday, Nov. 20, according to the township's attorney G. Gus Morris. The meeting will go into closed session to discuss the potential settlement, he said. The $1.39 million settlement was approved by Lewis' family, according to federal court documents filed Nov. 15. A hearing to approve the settlement is set for Nov. 30, Morris said. Morris said Flint Township's insurance coverage will pay for the attorney costs and a settlement should the trustees approve one. "The people who insure police officers are very reluctant to try cases that involve the police because of the anti-police sentiment," Morris said. "We feel still despite the settlement that the video establishes that the officer did not use excessive force in the circumstances that he was faced with." Gallery preview Lewis was killed after Needham arrived as a backup officer to assist a Flint Township officer who made a traffic stop on Flushing Road near Eldorado Street. Dashcam video and police reports obtained by MLive-The Flint Journal through the Freedom of Information Act show a Flint Township officer initiated a traffic stop of a white Chevrolet Impala after the officer claimed the vehicle was clocked traveling 13 miles per hour over the speed limit. Lewis was a passenger in the back seat of the stopped car. The officer claimed she wanted to search the vehicle after she thought she smelled marijuana inside the vehicle, according to police reports. The officer also said the passengers were "moving around in the vehicle like they may have been trying to hide something," according to police reports. The 12-minute, 8-second dashcam video released by police to MLive-The Flint Journal shows the officer who pulled over the car removing the driver from the vehicle and frisking her nearly 10 minutes into the stop. The officer then allows the driver to remove her young daughter from the back seat of the car. The video then shows the officer remove a male adult from the front passenger side of the vehicle. As the officer begins to pat-down the passenger, the video shows the Impala beginning to shake. The lawsuit claims Lewis began climbing into the vehicle's driver's seat. "Hey, hold up," the officer who made the traffic stop says in the video as the car continues to shake. The officer told state police investigators that Lewis started the car and attempted to flee the scene, according to police reports. Needham, who was outside the view of the dashcam as the other officer was removing the vehicle's occupants, can be seen in the video running in front of the car with his hand near his service pistol. Needham yells, "Stop, police," but the car, which police said was driven by Lewis at that point, can be seen in the video beginning to move forward toward Needham. Needham sidesteps the car and fires two shots into the vehicle. The car made a U-turn in the road before jumping the curb and coming to rest in some trees, according to a police report. Needham and a doctor from Hurley Medical Center, who had witnessed the incident, said they attempted to aid Lewis, but he eventually died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to police reports. The lawsuit, initially filed by attorney Rebecca H. Filiatraut of Detroit-based Johnson Law, claims Needham used "unreasonable, unnecessary and deadly force" against Lewis. MLive-The Flint Journal could not reach attorneys for Lewis' family. The lawsuit claims Needham failed to use tactics that would have avoided deadly force, such as avoiding the car driven by Lewis and radioing a description and license plate of the fleeing vehicle to other officers. Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said in October 2014 that he would not charge Needham in the shooting because he believed the officer's actions were justified. Leyton said the officer fired the shots in self-defense and in an attempt to stop Lewis from escaping the scene. Lewis was previously sentenced to prison in 2008 for assault with intent to do great bodily harm after he shot a man on the city's north side. He was on parole at the time of his death. The female driver of the vehicle told police that Lewis told her to run from the police as the vehicle was being pulled over, according to a police report. She said Lewis never said why he wanted her to flee. Comments Registration on or use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy © 2018 MLive Media Group.

Fresh 🆕s 📰>> As Imo APC chieftains defang Okorocha

IMO State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, who prides himself as a political colossus was taught “Politics 101” last Saturday.

It didn’t come as a surprise, though. To any discerning political observer, it was only a matter of time. While he was clowning and punching way above his political weight, his opponents were waiting for the auspicious time.

Sublime political intrigue at its best.

The Saturday, May 5, 2018 ward congress of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Imo presented Okorocha’s formidable political adversaries within his own party the opportunity to teach him the political lesson of his life.

Okorocha, convinced that the APC leadership in Imo will not support his political shenanigans in 2019 threw his weight behind President Muhammadu Buhari’s last minute decision to push the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee, NWC, under the bus by jettisoning the already agreed tenure extension.

Inordinate ambition

Okorocha’s support for the conduct of fresh congresses was informed solely by his inordinate ambition to install cronies that will deliver the APC governorship ticket to his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu.

But blinded by ambition and hubris, he didn’t reckon with the determination of the opposition within the party to scuttle his plan.

So, while the congress was underway in other states, the sensitive materials to be used in Imo disappeared.

The party’s national organising secretary, Chief Osita Izunaso, an Imo indigene, a former senator and one of the political gladiators, claimed he handed the materials to Chief Ini Okorie, who was sent from the party headquarters to superintend the congress, a claim which Okorie repudiated.

When the police took him to Izunaso’s Owerri home in a bid to resolve the riddle, Okorie, just like the sensitive materials, also disappeared.

Okorocha was flummoxed, watching as it were, his well-hatched plans go up in flames. Not even a visit to Izunaso with the Imo State Police Commissioner, Chris Ezike, could lift the lid off the grand conspiracy. It was political sleight of the hand at its best.

Realising that he had been beaten to his own game and knowing that the Oyegun-led NWC will not have any sympathy, Okorocha turned to Buhari, making an emergency visit to the President’s country home in Daura, Katsina State, just a day after the congress.

I doubt if he slept that Saturday night, haunted, no doubt, by the spectre of electoral malfeasance he had helped to create and perpetuate.

Describing what happened in Imo as funny politics, Okorocha, who had unilaterally shared positions in the party for the 2019 elections, said: “We expect internal democracy and internal democracy is the way to go. This kind of funny politics that we are playing must stop … we do not want people to carry ballot boxes and steal results. This looks so primitive. I intimated Mr. President and we will make sure that such things must stop.”

Asked what the President’s response was, Okorocha stuttered.

“I intimated Mr. President and we will make sure that such things must stop. He spoke like the President and he will take the necessary steps to correct this in our party, APC, not just in Imo State but across the whole nation, and to also make sure that there is respect for internal democracy in Imo State.”

Expectedly, Buhari did not speak. But the party apparatchik did. And their verdict was that the congresses were a huge success and whoever felt aggrieved should seek redress through the appropriate channel(s).

Case closed!

It is almost impossible for any well-meaning Imolite not to gloat over Okorocha’s humiliation.

A conquered fiefdom

As governor, Okorocha has carried on as an emperor, impervious to advice. He has ruled the state as a conquered fiefdom and treated the otherwise proud people as serfs.

The man boasts to whoever cares to listen that he will never make the mistake his predecessors, Achike Udenwa and Ikedi Ohakim, made.

And what was this grievous mistake? They allowed the electoral will of the people to prevail. To Okorocha, it does not matter that he was the primary beneficiary of the triumph of the will of the people when the Imo electorate in 2011 turned their back, for whatever reason, on an incumbent with huge war chest.

And in unilaterally deciding his successor, Okorocha was condescending and insulting.

Of course, in his hubris, he overreached himself and like the Nwa Nza bird in Igbo folklore that overfed and challenged its Chi (personal god) to a duel, Okorocha was bound to come to grief sooner than later because just like Chief M. A. Nanga, in Chinua Achebe’s 1966 epic political satire, A Man of the People, the governor has brazenly “taken away enough for the owner to notice.”

And Imolites have noticed. His choice of Uche Nwosu, his son-in-law and chief of staff, as successor and determination to ride roughshod against any opposition just added insult to the many injuries – political, social and economic – inflicted on the people, whose only crime was that they elected him governor seven years ago.

Let’s be clear, as a Nigerian, Okorocha has the right to support Nwosu’s political aspiration just as Nwosu’s fundamental right to vote or be voted for cannot be sacrificed on the altar of his filial relationships.

All that was required was due process and if at the end of the day, Imo APC delegates, decide he is their choice, so be it. In fact, if, having emerged as the APC candidate, Imo electorate agree next year during the general elections that in the young man, Uche Nwosu, they had found a transformational leader in whom they are well-pleased, all fine and good.

But Okorocha has no right deploying the people’s patrimony in promoting his son-in-law’s aspiration to the utter exclusion of every other Imolite, believing, to use a local lingo, that it is just a matter of cash.

When and how did Okorocha become the god of Imo politics? Such delusion explains a fundamental flaw in our democracy which seeks to deify leadership by making small gods of elected public officials.

But the end result of such illusion is always predictable. Where are the 1999 – 2017 set of governors? Who hears about them again?

Political demystification

What happened to Okorocha last Saturday is the beginning of his political demystification. As the Igbo say, if a man cooks for the public they will consume the meal but he will be hard put if the reverse is the case. For almost eight years, Okorocha has taken the people for granted, serving them duplicitous meals. Now, the people have decided to cook for him.

If he does not retrace his steps, he will come to political grief and there is nothing a President Buhari can do to save him from the wrath of a people he has humiliated for too long.

What happened last Saturday is only a tip of the iceberg. If Governor Okorocha does not repent of his political sins and ask for forgiveness, his humiliation in the 2019 general elections will be total.

Clever Gifts—At Every Price

Choosing gifts for a variety of people at just as many price points can be stressful. The secret Santa or a long-distance friend can be even more difficult to buy for when you don’t spend time with them regularly on top of it. 

 Gift cards seem impersonal, but when it comes time to make a decision, it can be difficult to find something that balances unique interests while staying on a budget. So, we’ve made gift shopping easy, affordable, and quick for you this holiday season! 

 Gifts under $10 

 Skip the coffee cup or coffee shop gift card to get something more memorable. Don’t assume cheap has to mean it’s a waste. 

 Funny socks: This option is great for the office secret Santa! It’s useful without crossing any work boundaries or creating an awkward situation, and stretchy fabric can allow you to just eyeball rough shoe sizes. 

 Funky pencils: Forget the orange, number two pencil you remember from your school days. Pencils that feature tops of woodland creatures or interesting patters can be stuffed in any stocking, and can actually be put to good use. 

 Small succulents: For the wanna-be gardener who hasn’t quite cultivated their green thumb, succulents require little work and are small enough to be placed on a desk or windowsill.  

 Gifts under $25 

 This price point is perfect for distant family or friends you don’t see often. Gifts under $25 are also great to stock in a closet in case someone drops by unexpectedly with a gift, and you feel the need to reciprocate on the spot (you know that’s happened to you at some point). 

 Digital wine bottle thermometer: Giving the gift of wine is always appreciated, but it lacks creativity. However, for the wine lover, this unique gadget is perfect to ensure their pinot is always chilled to the right temperature. 

 Wood coasters: For the nature lover, bring the outdoors in with wood coasters. In addition to being visually pleasing, your furniture will thank you for protecting it against drinking glass rings.  

 Tea towels: Pick holiday-specific dish towels that can be displayed in the kitchen. These towels are easy to store, and can be packed away as a last-minute gift. 

 Gifts under $50  

 These gifts are most likely for close friends and family. Therefore, it’s expected that you put some thought and effort into their procurement…and this expectation only adds to the pressure.  

 Water-resistant Bluetooth speaker: If you have a niece or nephew who is music lover, a water-resistant Bluetooth speaker is great for summers spent at the pool. They won’t have to worry about ruining a speaker with splashing, and can keep their music source safely away from the pool. 

 Three–month box subscription: Give the gift that keeps giving. Many subscription services will allow short-term signups: from chocolate to make-up, you can tailor any gift for those who are hardest to shop for. 

 Portable iPhone photography kit: The current cameras in smart phones today are better than many DSLR cameras on the market. Give additional lenses and a tripod suited specifically for phones to allow the recipient to take professional-quality photos with their cell! 

 Gifts under $100 

 For those that are closest, you want to be able to give them something that they will love, and that shows that you take notice of the small things they like.  

 Neon sign for a table: We all have that friend that has impeccable style, and is nearly impossible to shop for. Tabletop neon signs featuring inspiring words or phrases light up any space, and are edgy with a hint of nostalgia.  

 Instax Mini 90: Move over, old-school polaroid camera that’s both bulky and heavy! This camera is perfect for creating instant images, and has a hip, streamlined exterior that everyone will love. 

 Monogrammed cheese board: This is great for people who love to cook, and those who love to eat! The personalization could take a week or more, so get to ordering! 

 This gift guide is only the beginning. If you see any great gifts exchanged this year, let us know by commenting below and we will update our gift giving guide!
