Summary
Carlos is certainly aware of TK Strand. He wasn’t aware the man had cycled through quite this many teams before being traded to the Dallas Stars. His reputation as a hot-head and a trouble-maker precedes him, but there are dozens of players like that in this league. Carlos has never considered Strand to be significantly worse than any of the rest of them, but maybe he just wasn’t paying close enough attention. The person described in the article he just read doesn’t exactly sound like someone Carlos should be thrilled about having as a new teammate.
Or, the enemies-to-friends-to lovers Hockey AU that no one asked for but I was perhaps born to write.

Summary
Carlos's heart is pounding. He can barely hear over the blood rushing in his ears or see through the fog clouding his mind. Because he knows those eyes. He knows the hand he just shook, and the voice he just heard, although it’s lower and richer than it was over a decade ago, when the man he’d just met was called TK instead of Tyler. He doesn’t know how or why TK is here, in Austin, a lifetime after circumstance ripped them apart and spread miles between them. He doesn’t know how or why the Tyler they’ve been tracking all these months has turned out to be Carlos’s childhood friend, to this day his most cherished relationship, his first heartbreak. He doesn’t know how or why any of this has happened, but it has. He’s completely sure of it. TK – Tyler – didn’t seem to recognize him. But that face is burned into his memory.
//
In 2002, TK and Carlos meet in a third grade classroom in Manhattan. 21 years later they meet again, at a nightclub in Austin called The Firehouse.- Language:

Summary
Fresh out of rehab for drug and alcohol addiction, lead singer TK and his band Stranded are pushed into a tour he's not sure he's ready for. To combat the bad press from his very public hitting of rock bottom, his label suggests they take up-and-coming country singer Carlos along with them. Between TK's still healing wounds and closeted Carlos's fears that his parents don't support his musical career, a rocky start might turn into finding exactly what they both need.

Summary
He flicks through the folder, though he purposefully tilts it so that TK can't see what's inside. After a few seconds, Carlos pulls out a printed photo. It's got writing on the back that's partially covered by Carlos' hand, but TK can make out the number five scrawled in sharpie. Carlos looks at him and hesitates before flipping the photo for TK to see. "I need you to remember that you're safe here, alright?" he says.
Safe? TK thinks. It didn't exactly occur to him to question that, but then he looks down at the photo in Carlos' hands and gasps. The picture is of him in what is clearly their apartment building's lobby. He's waiting on the elevator with a grocery bag in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other, completely oblivious to the fact that he's being photographed.

A few months into their marriage, life throws TK and Carlos a curveball in the form of a stalker. Carlos decides to do the only thing he knows how to: he's going to protect his husband, no matter what it takes.

Judd scoffed "I'll pay you 100 bucks if you get up from the bed right now"

Summary
Carlos lies back in bed, though on top of the covers, staring at the ceiling for a moment. It’s not dark in the room; it’s the middle of the day, and he has yet to invest in proper curtains, so the light seeps through the slatted blinds. He finds he doesn’t mind, though. It means he can count the bulbs in the light fitting, as mundane as it is, because it centers him, focuses him.
Because beside him, TK is sleeping soundly. And it’s been months since this has been reality, but here he is.
—
A post 3x04 quiet moment. TK notices something familiar on the nightstand, and they talk.

TK glances in the direction she had yelled earlier, scolding what he believes is an imaginary cat.
She follows his gaze but doesn’t block his path when he moves forward.
“Car – ” The rest of his fiancé’s name is swept away with a gasp as TK feels the tip of the knife pierce his skin, shock morphing into searing pain as the blade continues its journey deep into his side.

Summary
Carlos hadn’t seen TK in months. Yes, he had held vigil at his bedside for days following his last trip to West Park Memorial’s ICU, even though the pair had broken up on bad terms. Though when TK woke up, confused and agitated by his presence, his heart rate not stabilizing due to the stress, Carlos got up, walked out, and never looked back. It was a rash and emotional decision on his part, sure, but he didn’t want to cause TK any more distress than the cardiac arrest(s) and the cop’s presence at his bedside had caused. Nancy had said TK had wanted him there? “What a crock of shit,” Carlos thought to himself as he ran past the security guard, past the coffee cart lady, past the two shitty nurses who TK had recently defied by staying and being alive, holding tears back. Carlos felt like more of a shmuck than ever.
So why was he back at West Park? It turns out Carlos’s firefighter-turned-paramedic-turned-love-of-his-life-turned-ex-boyfriend never updated his emergency contact after all this time, meaning Carlos was called to the hospital due to TK being admitted, the reason not disclosed to him on the call he received mid-shift.
