sorry wemmbu but you couldnt handle s2 zam's transfem swag so minute cucked you instead

[l0ve-spells]

imagine your f/o comforting you when you're feeling down. Imagine them gripping you tightly in a warm embrace, feeling the heat from their body, smelling the soft scent of their clothes as the fabric rests on your face. They are firm, yet gentle in their actions, holding you in a way that makes your heart flutter and suddenly the world feels so much smaller in that particular moment in time.

Top 5 Motogp ships on ao3 during the last decade

I filtered each year from Jan 1st to December 31st. No other fics are included in each year's rank, only the ones posted during that calendar year.

'New' means that they were either new to any year's top 10 on ao3, or new to this list. If I included the plus minus, that means it was not new to the top ten, it just hadn't made the top 5 yet.

Discussion:

Since there were so little motogp fics in the first few years, some of the ships in the top 5 were there because of a single writer. So it does not always reflect the fandom's opinions of the ships. For example, all of the Alex/Dani and Alex/Jorge fics were written by the same person (at the time. There are new ones).

It also shows how a ship being popular for a short time can have lasting effects on the all-time rank. Maverick/Fabio being an example of this as they are still in the top 5 overall, despite only being in the top 5 of the yearly rank twice.

Why Four Alarm Fire fics work so well in my stupid gay/poly brain:

• Carlos is a Power Top

• TK is a Sub Bottom

• Buck is a Sub Top (mostly, but does bottom)

• Eddie is a Power Bottom (mostly, but does top)

My friends and I have this running joke that we love tarlos, but they would be the couple we'd hate to have in the friend group because they're too damn cute.

However even as I make thsoe jokes I find something genuinely heartwarming about these two people who are so full of love finding each other. For their own separate reasons they both have felt isolated and rejected and getting to do the gross couple thing of saying "WE" for everything. A lot of their miscommunication in the beginning was fueled by fear of rejection. I think post-marriage tarlos is comfortably outside of that fear region and their breakthroughs are all the more poignant because we've seen how far they've come.

I actually think that's why Judd and Grace act as an example of how I think TK and Carlos' relationship can continue to evolve. They've seen the worst of each other and finding strength in each other is what makes them able to confront everything that life throws at them or what is within themselves. A situation like the one with Judd first meeting Wyatt could have been the same drama-filled relationship breakdown we've seen a million times. Judd's love and loyalty was never a question for Grace, and she didn't sit on her emotions long before her and Judd had those necessary conversations. Tarlos' storylines in season 4 with the kid talk and Iris really feel evocative of that same dynamic.

All of this aimless yapping is just to say that I so badly want that spinoff because I will never have enough of TK and Carlos' story.
