Summary
Dr. Carlos Reyes can’t stand the newest paramedic at the 126. He’s cocky, impulsive, abrasive, and — while admittedly very good at his job — a thorn in his side. Paramedic TK Strand feels the same: he can’t seem to go anywhere in this damn city without someone singing the praises of the young, talented local-boy-turned-doctor. But as time passes some of the bravado fades and their true natures are revealed. Slowly they each start to realize that maybe the other isn’t as bad as they once thought and that maybe — just maybe — there is much more to them than meets the eye.

Summary
To TK, the kitchen is a place of joint cooking with his new boyfriend, his friends' laughter, and most of all - dread.
At 2AM, the hook of it extracted TK from Carlos’ arms, pulled him to the freezer on bare feet. He could navigate the townhouse blind now, feeling protected by the darkness as he found the cutlery drawer. One spoonful, just so he could sleep in peace again. No one was here to see it, no one would know. He’d keep the freezer open at first. Sometimes that works.

Summary
For a moment, Garak’s heart leapt. He imagined a tall, thin figure emerging, perhaps dressed in Starfleet Medical gray and blue, or perhaps wearing civilian clothing. He imagined him saying, I got your letter, and I couldn’t stay away any longer. Did you mean what you said?
The door opened. The figure that emerged was short and clad in the red of the Bajoran militia, with a bag slung across her shoulder.
“Colonel Kira,” Garak said. “This is an unexpected surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
Kira didn’t return his smile. “We need to talk, Garak. It’s about Julian.”
***
After the war, Section 31 comes after Julian. Someone really should have alerted Garak sooner, but now that he knows, he's not letting him go without a fight. Neither is Miles, Kira, or Jake, for that matter.

Summary
It's several months after season 2, and politics are shifting rapidly in the New Republic.
“One of the delegation’s sticking points in the treaty has been a desire to share risk between the New Republic and Mandalore. They don’t want to sign without an assurance. Apparently it’s traditional to do this... somewhat literally. I don’t get the sense that it’s universally desired, but,” she shrugs a little, “we’re all floundering here. Rebuilding a republic out of a dictatorship isn’t easy.”
“I’m not getting the problem here, Leia. So they want it all in writing?”
She lays it out for him, and Luke can’t say he didn’t ask for it. “They want someone from the New Republic to become the new Mand’alor’s consort. Essentially, they want a hostage.”Luke wants the New Republic to back and fund his plans for the new Jedi Order, Bo-Katan wants Mandalore to rise to its previous glory, Leia wants a system of governance that is functional, and Din wants a nap.
(Or, the arranged marriage fic I had no intention of writing.)

Summary
An adventure in the fiancé era. Carlos, TK and their friends get costumed up for a murder mystery evening themed around the board game Clue. When someone at the event is murdered for real, Carlos starts to investigate. Then TK vanishes…
********
Carlos stops for a moment. Earlier, his legs felt too heavy to move. Now the heaviness is his heart, a twisting iron spike in his chest. He reaches out and holds the branch of a small tree next to him, just to ground himself. The twisting pain dissipates, but he feels completely empty. Why didn’t he and TK cancel on this stupid thing? Why didn’t he tell TK that he wanted to stay naked in bed all evening, with him, and they’d tell the others they were sick? It had crossed his mind for a moment, when he felt silly in his costume, which turned out to be the most sensible of all the costumes. They hadn’t had a day spent entirely alone with each other for a while. Why did anything seem more important than that?Bookmarked by Mapping_the_Underground
