Summary
For TK, La Grange is a place of the past. He’d gladly never return to his middle-of-nowhere hometown if it weren’t for one small problem: his husband. One he hasn’t seen in nearly a decade. A short trip home to sort out the divorce—in order to prepare for a second marriage—proves to be a little more complicated when TK starts to remember just how much of his heart is left in Texas.

Summary
TK knows this season is going to be different from the minute he steps onto the court the first day of practice; he can feel the buzz in the air of the Moody Center as the team warms up.
Most obviously, they’re all hungry for a title after being knocked out of the Elite Eight last season, not that TK was around to witness it. But he was there for the buzzer beater that lost them the championship game the year prior, and that’s reason enough for him to crave redemption.
The other main factors responsible for filling the room with energy are the new additions to their roster. Primarily, Carlos Reyes.
TK hasn’t been able to go anywhere this semester without hearing about how Carlos transferred schools after a family emergency to be closer to home, or even more so, seeing him around campus—the library, TK’s favorite coffee shop, his 8 am class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Carlos is inescapable.

Summary
We regret to inform you…
TK’s hands have a small shake as he looks away from the paper at Carlos’ big, brown eyes staring at him, depending on him to give good news. He clocks his bouncing knee and restless hands as he awaits the passing result that everyone told him time and time again that he would get, that TK told him he would get. And now TK has to break his heart.
“Carlos…” he says cautiously and he hates the way he has to watch his husband's face fall.
Or, Carlos doesn’t pass the detective exam and TK helps him through it.

Summary
Vampire hunting isn't what it used to be. So here Joe is, nine-hundred years old, spending his Friday night wandering the live-donor clubs, checking permits and kicking out vamps with only a few decades under their belt who still think flashing fang in public is cute.
Until Joe turns the corner into the alley and sees Nicoló di fucking Genova himself, fang out, glaring at the silver fence surrounding him and looking about two seconds away from actually drinking a five-day-old pig. Joe he should have just called it a night. He’s clearly hallucinating.

End Racism in the OTW --- “What are you doing?” “I don’t want you to do that.” by IrisPurpurea

Summary
Fictober 2022 Day 13 and 14. Prompts: “What are you doing?” “I don’t want you to do that.”
“What are you doing?”
Carlos looks up to find TK frowning at him from their bedroom.
“I…” Carlos holds up the blanket in his hands, unsure what else to say. He thinks it’s pretty obvious what he’s doing. Then again, tonight has proven that he can’t do anything right, apparently, when it comes to TK.

Summary
Unsurprisingly, Carlos is not taking it easy. The gently steaming rice cooker, the stainless steel wok on the stove, and the assortment of vegetables on the counter indicate a basic stir fry. In their normal life, it’s a fallback dinner for occasions when neither of them has much time or energy to cook—what passes for phoning it in, as far as Carlos is concerned. Carlos claims not to be morally opposed to takeout, but Andrea Reyes has left her mark on him, and he definitely views it as a last resort, exclusively for use in desperate moments. Given that he still won’t discuss how much his broken hand is hurting, it’s not surprising he doesn’t think the situation qualifies as desperate.

Summary
Alex can feel the eyes of the room on him as Shaan approaches his side. Then, Shaan quietly murmurs in his ear. They’re words he’s thought about before, distantly wondering about what might happen when they were finally uttered. How their lives might change. There’s nothing that can prepare him for the reality of it though, nothing that can prepare him for how his breath hitches when Shaan speaks.
‘London Bridge is down, Sir.’

Summary
The hand on his shoulder softens and trails down, fingers curling over his bicep, a little too soft, too warm, too nice.
Patrick lifts his head and in the sliver of light peaking through the drawn curtains all he can see is a shock of messy black hair poking up under the comforter on the pillow beside him. He pulls his arm away from the touch and turns to sit up, taking in his surroundings. He’s in a studio apartment he doesn’t recognise, all shadows and unfamiliar shapes in the soft light. He hadn’t recognised the guy’s voice when he’d told him to get up. That fact somehow makes his heart race uncomfortably in his chest. Had he told Rachel he’d changed his mind? Had one of her friends let him crash here to avoid the imminent fallout? Or had he freaked out, taken solace with this stranger and gone home with him on the rebound?
Him.
Fuck.
OR
Patrick wakes up in bed beside his fiancé. The only problem with that is, it isn’t the same fiancée he had when he went to sleep.
An amnesia fic, wherein Patrick can’t remember the two years of his life in which he really started living.

Summary
Nothing was what either had planned. For Carlos, he had planned to move out of this shoddy apartment and into his dream home months ago. Then, everything changed. The original 126 crew were all gone. All the people he’d known for years. For TK, well, he’d lost his sobriety, his supposed soulmate, his home. Everything had changed. For both of them. Neither knew how much more it would change for them. Not until one night where they start talking to each other through the thin walls of their crappy apartments.

He doesn’t deserve it. Tonight, he’ll take it anyway.

Summary
When you stop breathing, it gets very hard to believe you can start again.
Time and space and sight narrows, distorts, and Carlos feels like a pinprick or a flea. He feels utterly, suffocatingly alone. He feels trapped. He grips the steering wheel desperately, tries to breathe, just breathe--
Breathe. Breathe, breathe.
His phone is in his hand. He doesn’t remember how it got there. There’s a droplet on the screen, probably a tear. He notices that he’s brought TK’s contact up.
How are you feeling? Carlos types. It takes him a moment to get it right because every time he tries to fix his typos his shaking hands betray him again.
TK is online in an instant. Same as ten minutes ago bb
Carlos laughs reading it, and that’s a very bad idea. All the snot and nothingness in his throat tangles together and leaves him choking.
And yet, rereading it, he thinks it’s helped. This is a little piece of evidence of TK.---
3 times Carlos had a panic attack, and 1 time TK was there for him.

Blood on the tracks, fire in the hills by orphan_account
Fandoms: 9-1-1: Lone Star (TV 2020)

Summary
Carlos made his way to the victim’s bedroom, located down a narrow corridor, across from an equally cramped bathroom. The very first thing he saw after stepping through the doorway was T.K. Strand, slumped in a chair in the corner of the room, drenched in blood.
Carlos’s knees gave out so abruptly that he had to grab for the frame to catch himself before he hit the ground. “No,” he heard himself say, in a voice that didn’t sound anything like him.
(Fifteen months after they broke up, Carlos and T.K. are thrown together again at the scene of a murder.)
