An update

I know I said I was gonna try to be more active on here but life kinda got in the way.

As many of you probably know, there was a devastating wildfire that tore through the island of Maui in Hawai'i leaving billions of dollars in damage, many people without homes, businesses destroyed and as of now over 100 people dead. I made several trips in the aftermath of the fire between the West Coast and Kahului as part of my airline's decision to send aid and evacuate people from the island. All in all, I've made about 7 round trip flights between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Kahului helping as many people as possible get aid that they need and, trying to evacuate as many people as possible. I'm back for the time being with a few days before resuming a normal flight schedule, so I hope to be back to constantly obsessing over Tarlos (as per usual), writing more of my fic (I'm currently at a little over 100 pages!), and watching and rewatching the "Red, White, and Royal Blue" movie!

I saw your post about why you aren't mad at Carlos and it's perfect. I agree 100% and I was like, boom you get a follow.

Aww thanks! I have been very quiet for all of hiatus but it was premiere day so I am back.

And the only people I am mad at live in the writers room and on the producing team (and occasionally Owen Strand).

But you know…*shrugs* I am a Tarlos stan and I will defend both of them equally under the laws of TV.

Who are you rooting for this year in Eurovision? I’m an American but absolutely obsessed with it.

I just intend to enjoy the performances and Graham Norton's snark. May the most Eurovision-ist performance win!

I got FIRE WRITER!

You burn. In the night, under the hot sun, you burn. You shine in the darkest nights, bringing to your readers an immortal fire. No one is able to portray feelings better than you. Emotions burn your characters, making them matches in dark rooms, lighting up everything, and burning from their own hands. Your best is shown in short stories, where the flames of your character’s souls can burn brighter than ever, and become ashes. Your stories hold the most passionate love, soft sighs whispered against a lover’s skin, and the neon lights of a night club. Pain is your second name, and you don’t mind it. Wars, betrayal, yearning, a/b/o and enemy to lovers are your favorite tropes. But when you decide to comfort, the fierce fire that burns in your soul becomes the warm hug of a blanket in a cold day. Established relationships, per-relationship fluff and medical fics are great at showing this softer side of you. Keep burning, and show everyone how hard a fire can burn, even in the coldest of the nights.

Thanks for the tag @chaotictarlos​! Open tag for anyone else who wants to participate!

thanks @suseagull04 and @hippolotamus for the tease tuesday tag 💜 here's some first-time-sleeping-over shenanigans in a s1 canon divergence (maybe?) that owen definitely isn't going to interrupt...

One minute, he’s staring at TK’s adorable, sleeping face, stuck between wanting to kiss him silly and avoid waking him up. The next, he’s apparently fallen asleep. He only knows this because he wakes at seven a.m., completely disoriented and with a human octopus still attached to his side. 

“TK,” he whispers, kissing TK’s forehead in an attempt to wrangle his arm back. It has terrible pins and needles. “TK, baby.”

TK snuffles and turns, pulling the comforter over his head. “It’s too early,” he whines, which is when Carlos realises that his new boyfriend is definitely not a morning person. 

“I realise that,” Carlos says, trying not to panic as the red numbers on TK’s old school alarm clock flick over to 7:01. “But I accidentally fell asleep here and I have no clean clothes. Also, your dad is home now, right?”

“It’s okay,” TK slurs. “My dad loves you.”

“Your dad likes me as Officer Reyes,” Carlos points out, “the respectable, law-abiding cop who definitely isn’t having sex with his son.”

“Mm, no,” TK mumbles, shuffling again so that he’s on his stomach, his hand curling protectively over Carlos’ hip, brushing dangerously close to his c*ck. “He wouldn’t have a problem with that.”

“TK—”

“I’m serious,” TK insists, opening his eyes and staring blearily up at Carlos. “My dad has been trying to get me to ask you out for weeks. He’ll see this as a personal achievement.”

for @kiloskywalker who always makes watching the episodes the most fun.

[lemonlyman-dotcom]

Eid Mubarak!!!! 🌙 I hope everyone who celebrates had a revitalizing month, and that the day is full of joy and blessings!

The fifth and final chapter of Eid fic is live now!!

love in a series of bursts & inches

It’s Eid 2024 and the party is on in the Tarloft! Marjan finally introduces her parents to Joe, TK reflects on how after all this time he and Carlos still make a great team, and he reminisces on moments spent in the loft, and how his life here and the family he’s made is everything he never expected to have when he was fresh off a relapse and still feeling so brittle and broken. Marjan has heart-to-hearts with each of her parents. Meanwhile, in the fall of 2023 Marjan and Carlos have a deep conversation at a pinball arcade wherein Carlos reveals his regrets about waiting to tell his parents about TK, and Marjan decides she doesn’t want to have those same regrets in her future.

Another massive thanks to my betas & sensitivity readers @bonheur-cafe @messymindofmine @kiwichaeng & @carlos-in-glasses I truly couldn’t have done this without you!!!!

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tag, @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @heartstringsduet 💝

This is from the upcoming chapter of my TK and Sophie fic -

2011 -

From the time they went down the stairs and the elevator to Owen’s apartment, he didn’t let go of his son the entire time. Once TK was sat on the couch and Owen called his mother to let her know that yes, TK was safe and no, he didn’t go through with it, he kept his free hand on his son’s head to make sure he was still there.

TK didn’t really blame him; he knew from his dad’s half of the conversation that his mom was on her way. After he got off the phone, his dad came and sat with him on the couch, one arm curled protectively around his son.

Neither of them said much; under other circumstances, TK would’ve made a joke about how he finally figured out how to render Owen Strand speechless.

But he couldn't make that joke now.

There were lots of things that were popping into TK’s head to say; trying to laugh it off, deny it, say that this was all a misunderstanding — but he couldn’t bring himself to voice any of it out loud. It’d all be lies, and if there was one thing TK was certain of, it was that this time, his dad would know they’d all be lies.

They sat on the couch in silence until there was a frantic knock at the door.

“That’s going to be your mom,” Owen said softly. TK nodded and got off the couch and went to the door. He had barely opened it halfway when his mother threw her arms around him.

“My baby,” she said softly as she stroked the back of his head. “Oh, my sweet boy”.

“Hi, Mom,” TK said as she squeezed him. “I’m sorry I left… and about…” he didn’t want to finish that sentence. When she released him, he said, “Were you crying?” Immediately after the words left his mouth, he kicked himself for how stupid that was.

But he really wasn't used to seeing his mother cry.

Gwyn blinked. “TK, I didn’t know until I laid eyes on you if you were alive. After that phone call…” she sighed. “Well, I’ve never been more scared”. "That makes two of us," Owen added.

Tag Game: Found Family

(1) What is your favorite 911 Lone Star Found Family moment?

Paul Dates is the moment. I adore the family support of this storyline. TK steps right into a big brother role, encouraging Paul to get out there, cheering him on and praising his terrible bowling score when it looks like dating started well.

Then quickly organizes an outing when the bitch woman shows up at his work to tell Paul she’s open-minded but not thattt open-minded because he deserves to be celebrated.

2) Which platonic pairing/friendship dynamic are you most looking forward to seeing again in season 5?

Paul & Marjan! The tease of these capable besties competing to be the other’s leader is too juicy.

(3) If you could pick one Lone Star character to be friends with, who would you choose?

✨Marjan Marwani✨

What’s a Marwani? The badass, strong, loving, confident, passionate problem solver who doesn’t always get it right but it’s NEVER for lack of trying. I’d love to have this energetic, action-biased advocate in my corner.

(4) Which would you rather attend: Catan night at the loft or game night at the Ryder house?

THEM.

(5) A character of your choice ends up in jail. Who would they call to bail them out (assuming their romantic partner, parent,and/or child didn't pick up?)

Okay yes, he’s terrible at getting out of his own jams and famously didn’t answer his son’s call when his basically son-in-law was kidnapped and dying, but - when he knows his people are hurting - he’ll do anything. Move to Austin. Steal a porche. Punch countless authority figures. Steal fbi property. He’ll be there. If he answers. He loves his found family sm. 😭

Orrrr maybe Nancy? She evidently has bail money.

What are your thoughts?

HI FRIEND. 2, 10, and 11 🩵

HI FRIEND IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED! These are all from my big WIP AU called "Take My Breath Away" which I've posted a sneak preview on here before, but hope to have finished later this year.

2. Give the first line of this chapter/fic I've decided to give you chapter 5: When TK walked into the room, he was expecting to meet a room full of cocky fighter pilots just like himself.  He was expecting to meet their instructors, determined to ensure that they kept their student’s egos in check.  What he definitely did not expect, was to immediately see the face of his quick bar hookup from the previous night.  Admittedly, it was a handsome face, and that TK could appreciate.  Hell anyone with half of a brain could appreciate it. 10. What is the last line of dialogue you've written?

Added some more context:

“I really thought he left us,” said Mateo.  “Then he just came out of nowhere.”

“Yeah,” Nancy agreed.  “It should be us who got taken out first.  Not him.”

“You gotta admit he’s a good pilot,” Paul added, impressed.  “Seriously, some of those moves were crazy.”

“You’re right,” Marjan interjected from behind them all.  “You didn’t go down first.  And now you know something about who TK is as a pilot.” 11. What scene are you most hyped about? I haven't written it yet but it's coming soon. I'm so excited to write the scene where TK realizes that he does actually want to be with Carlos. It comes after a very dramatic and intense scene involving a bird strike on a plane and someone having to eject and, someone having to run down the halls of a hospital to find the other, not knowing if they are hurt or even alive.

THANKS FOR ASKING FRIEND! Ask me about my WIP!

[carlos-in-glasses]

Thank you so much for tag lovely @alrightbuckaroo @strandnreyes @paperstorm @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @jesuisici33 @lemonlyman-dotcom @three-drink-amy and @thisbuildinghasfeelings 🧡

A section from chapter 1 of Flashback Fic - which I'm aiming to start posting on either 11th or 12th November! We'll see! Hopefully only a month's time, anyway! Here, our heroes are feeling a little tense...

Softly instructed by TK, Carlos takes a seat over in the darkest corner of the bar and near to a fire exit, while TK orders two Cokes. Usually, Carlos would have an ale in such a place, but he’s nauseated.

He sits at the round wooden table, which is the same dark wood as the walls, floor and ceiling. The place is styled to look like somewhere in the Bavarian alps, but it makes Carlos feel like he’s in a coffin that also contains a billiard table and two slovenly drunks at the bar arguing over the superiority of pistachios versus salted peanuts.

TK joins Carlos with their Cokes, ice clinking loudly in the glasses, and a pre-empted bottled beer for their guest.

“I asked for a slice of lemon each,” he says quietly, handing Carlos’ Coke over, “And the barman said this isn’t a gay bar, you know. So, I think we need to be careful.”

Contrary to what he just said, TK sits next to Carlos instead of opposite him, and holds his hand under the table.

“He’s late,” Carlos says, checking his watch for the eighth time since they entered, and then glares at the door like the door itself has any control over who enters or exits.

“You think everyone’s late when they haven’t arrived after two minutes.”

“Well, technically I’m not wrong about that, am I?” Carlos grumbles.

“All right, Poindexter.”

“We are not about to have our first fight as husbands here and now, TK.”

“Babe, we had a fight on our wedding night.”

“No we didn’t.”

“Yes we did.”

“We disagreed over who should be the big spoon, yet again.”

“You got quite upset about it, baby.”

“I was tired.”

“I know. Which is why I should have been the big spoon,” TK says firmly.

Carlos pulls a face and takes a deep breath like he’s about to launch into a tirade about his rightful big spoonness, when the door swings open on its creaking hinge.

911 Lone Star Music Monday

Thank you again for the tag @tellmegoodbye! I am in my tarlos loving each other forever feels today, so here are a few of my favorite songs that remind me of them!

Especially with this week's rewatch episodes, I am thinking about how TK and Carlos wished to find their perfect, forever person someday!

TK and Carlos are each other's HOME!!! Home is a person, not a place for them!

"You're what I want and that's all I want" 🥹 So soft and sweet and a very chill, loving song.

Thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom for starting us off on this excellent game! And I will happily use @guardian-angle22's lovely banner!

This week’s prompt: a begins fic that you loved.

I have a few recs that fit this prompt.

Where All This Love Comes From by @carlos-in-glasses

When I think of TK and Carlos backstory, this is the first fic that pops into my head! So far 7 of 14 chapters have been posted with a new one coming each Sunday. It's an absolutely gorgeous story filled with flashbacks to both TK and Carlos' past. It's incredibly detailed, emotional, beautifully written, and clearly so lovingly crafted. The kind of rich backstory I could only dream of reading before this fic! I wholeheartedly adopt the entire thing as my head canon.

In the burned house I am eating breakfast by @beautifulhigh

This one is a bit of a twist on a Carlos Begins...not quite as it seems. It's filled with beautiful language and it's one I still think about a year and a half after first reading it!

how quickly we change overnight by @birdclowns

An excellent little pre-canon TK fic giving us a view of the couple weeks prior to the failed proposal in the pilot. Poor TK 🥺

I know there are so many other wonderful backstory fics that I simply can't remember right now, so I will tag some people and hopefully they can help refresh my memory with more recs!

“Are you gonna get nervous if I blow you?” he asks, his voice still a little shaky as the glow of his orgasm washes over him.  Carlos gives him a wry look. “Are you going to use your teeth?” “What?! No.” “Then I think I’ll survive.” “Survive,” TK scoffs, saying a prayer to the gods of osteoarthritis that the shower tiles don’t give him runner’s knee. “I think we can aim a little higher.”

The Loft

ship: Tarlos | fandom: 911 Lone Star | author: chaotictarlos | read on ao3

Rating: Explicit | Warnings/Tags: Canon Compliment, Season 4, Post 4 x 18, Could be a 4 x 18 Coda, Feelings, Angst, Hurt / Comfort, Anal Sex, Blow jobs, Anal Fingering, M x M Smut

Summary: TK and Carlos decide that they're going to stay home for their honeymoon instead of going someplace else.

Author's Note: This fic took a lot longer than I thought it would to write, but in the end I'm happy with how it turned out. I have ideas for fics to follow this one, and I might write them but I have a few projects I would like to get done before doing that. I am sorry that this took me so long to write, but I do hope that it was worth the wait. Nice comments are always welcomed, negative comments need to not be posted.

Thank you @lightningboltreader for being such a doll and beta'ing this for me!

----

TK stares up at the ceiling. His arms are wrapped around Carlos loosely, one hand rubbing up and down his back in an attempt to soothe him. Carlos’ head is on his chest, ear pressing against the spot where TK’s heart is the loudest. Carlos has been laying on TK a lot like this, needing to hear his heartbeat loud and clear, to make sure he’s alive. Carlos told him the other day that it helps ease some of the anxiety and dread he’s been feeling, and tonight is no different. TK will do anything to soothe his fiance.

They had crawled into bed shortly after Carlos came home and proposed to TK. This time the proposal hadn’t been followed by them making love, but instead reaching for each other's arms and just holding each other. They’re laying quietly, listening to their breathing, knowing that sleep isn’t going to come. Carlos is too scared to sleep - too scared to let sleep take him because of the nightmares he’ll have and TK stays awake to be there for Carlos when he needs him.

It makes for a long night but TK doesn’t care, it’s just another sleepless night in a week of sleepless nights and grabbing naps when their bodies are too exhausted to move anymore.

TK focuses on Carlos’ breathing, tracking the way he sounds when he breathes in and out in case it changes and TK’s full attention is needed. His heart hurts for his fiance and he wishes that there was something more he could do. 

"I know we planned to travel for our honeymoon but can we just stay home?" Carlos asks softly, his voice breaking the stillness of the night. 

TK doesn’t say anything at first, just processes the words that float between them.

"I just want to be with you," Carlos continues. "I don't need to go off to some destination to do that. I just want you, safe in my arms. I-"

"We can do that," TK says, cutting him off and running his fingers up and down Carlos' back. "I don't care where we go or what we do. I just want to be with you, Carlos. Even if we stay here, in our apartment, and enjoy being married together. It'll still be the best time of my life."

Carlos raises his head and looks at TK. TK knows he can’t make out much in the darkness of the night but Carlos didn't need light to make TK feel like he was staring into the depths of his soul.

"Are you sure?" Carlos asks and TK can hear the worry in his words.

"I am baby,” he says softly, cupping Carlos’ face and running his thumb over his cheek. “I just want to be with you and if you want to have our honeymoon at home we will.”

Carlos nods and lays his head back on TK’s chest. There’s a want bubbling up in TK to talk to Carlos, but Carlos will talk when he’s ready. For now, they’ll just lay here in silence.

It has to be enough for now.
