Fic: What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh?
summary: Actions have consequences; Carlos wears shorts so of course TK needs to sink his teeth into his beautiful thighs and worship every inch of his skin.

It's going to be Tarlos's first wedding anniversary next month! How do you think they'll celebrate?
Ooh thank you for this question, anon! Because it will be the first anniversary of Gabriel's death too, I think they will keep it fairly low-key but also stretch it out and be really clingy and cuddly with each other. I'm thinking about what Ronen said at the Paris con, how his imagined honeymoon for Tarlos was them in their apartment, holding onto each other. I think it's the same for the anniversary.
Carlos will throw himself into making an amazing dinner with organic ingredients from the farmers' market, ready for when TK gets home from work. TK will be swept of his feet. Likewise, TK will surprise Carlos with a couple of gifts of things he knows Carlos had his eye on. He'll give him a beautiful journal because first anniversary gifts are traditionally paper-themed. They'll have a bath. Fizzy bath bomb, rose petals in the water, candles aglow, that kind of thing. They shall make love. It will descend into chaos as it always does. There will be screaming. Neighbours will slip passive aggressive notes under the door!
They will argue over who gets to the be the big spoon, with TK winning. They will wake up in each other's arms all soft and smiley. Later, the Catan Gang arrives and they have a little party - charcuterie board, sparkling cider. The Tarlos juggernaut wins the game.
During their next day off together, they take a drive to their wedding venue and wander around hand in hand, reliving the atmosphere and magic. They talk about getting a dog.
(Suddenly Gabriel's burner phone rings in Carlos' pocket...it's Gutiérrez calling with a fresh lead...will Gabriel's killer be found?!!)
In 2019, TK Strand is struggling. Reeling from his most recent relapse, an encounter with an eerie stranger alters the course of his life forever. He spends a harrowing eighteen hours as a missing person, and what happens that night creates a domino effect that follows him years into the future.
In 2023, as TK settles into a beautiful life — sober and healthy — with his soulmate, Carlos Reyes, the monster from his past comes back out of nowhere.
