After a brief hiatus from fic recs, we are BACK!
To make up for what we've missed, this week we are going to be focusing on fic recs from the first SIX EPISODES of season 3:
3x01 The Big Chill, 3x02 Thin Ice, 3x03 Shock and Thaw, 3x04 Push, 3x05 Child Care, 3x06 The ATX Files.
Here are this week's prompts:
Ice storm arc!
The 126 separated
Marjan being a badass
PUSH--the coma, the wakeup, the "hey baby, breathe," the aftermath that the show didn't have time to give us so our wonderful fic writers had to craft it for themselves, etc.
Detective Carlos Reyes
Tommy coping with her husband's death
Judd becoming a father to Charlie/Judd becoming a father to Wyatt
Rules:
Every week there will be a different prompt, and everyone is encouraged to share a fic (or a few!) recommendation that meets the prompt and tag a few fic-reading friends. The game can be played all week, so no pressure to post right away. Please feel free to use the banner above, to make your own, or to not use one at all!
Finally, please use the tag ‘Rewatch Read-Along Week 17’ and at the end of the week @911lonestarrewatch will post the link to the tag for the comprehensive list of fic recs!
Thanks to @guardian-angle22 for the banner!
Here are my recs:
Chapter 2 of The Center of the Maze by @carlos-in-glasses
Obviously I highly recommend the entire fic, but Chapter 2 is the part that deals specifically with what we're focused on this week. A heartbroken Carlos sobbing on the side of the road...is there a sadder image?? 😭
Seven Ways (Back to You) by @welcometololaland
An amazing series made up of 7 fics that deal with TK and Carlos finding their way back together in far more depth than the show could have ever given us!
Half agony, half hope and Coming and going by @goodways
The first is a wonderful Push coda filled with yearning and love and sweetness and making up and MAKING UP 😏, while the second is a truly delightful fic occurring in the aftermath of TK's coma where, as Shannon so aptly puts it in the summary "TK and Carlos boink so hard that TK passes out." I couldn't choose between the two, so I'm reccing both!
all my blood for the sweetness of his laugh by @alrightbuckaroo
Carlos reflecting on what he missed about TK while they were apart and how much he likes TK's laugh. Carlos' joy at making TK laugh is always one of my favorite things!
My Family, More or Less by @lightningboltreader
Carlos coming home to TK and telling him about his eventful night helping Katie get reunited with her parents...with a little help from his father-in-law more or less!
Learning, relearning by @fallout-mars
A really beautiful little fic a few weeks post-coma, with TK and Carlos so in love and so happy to be back together.
Tagging some fic readers who might have recs to share:
@lemonlyman-dotcom @paperstorm @carlos-in-glasses @reyesstrand @strandnreyes
@vineofroses @bonheur-cafe @alrightbuckaroo @herefortarlos @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad
@heartstringsduet @liminalmemories21 @lightningboltreader @fangirl-paba @reyestrandd
@chicgeekgirl89 @firstprince-history-huh @noxsoulmate @ladytessa74 @sznofthesticks

The argument/make-up in 2x04 is really one of my favourite Tarlos stories because I just love when conflict in fiction is the direct result of two people’s individual traumas bumping up against each other, rather than someone being a villain.
Both of them in this episode are coming from a place of having a large trauma in their past that the other doesn’t know all the details of. Carlos hasn’t told TK anything, at this point, about how his coming out went and how much pain he is in every single day because he feels like his parents don’t fully accept him being gay. He avoids the topic of his parents at Owen’s party when TK brings it up because he’s in a honeymoon phase with TK and he’s never had that before with anyone. He believes – like he says at the end when they make up – that he might never be able to have a real relationship. And he does likely know that at some point they’ll have to discuss his parents but he has never been as happy with anyone as he is with TK (insert season four context of he felt broken until the day they met) and he isn’t ready just yet for the dreamy bubble they’re in to be burst by reality.
So he deflects, in what will become a signature personality trait of Carlos’s – chronic avoidance and making jokes to get out of conversations he isn't ready to have. And then by accident they run into Gabriel and Andrea, and Carlos, still not ready to do this, panics and introduces TK as his friend. He knows he shouldn’t have done that, but trauma, so he acts like he doesn’t understand why TK is upset and he makes a joke out of it. He’s been anxious this whole time about how TK, who is so out and loud and proud, is going to react when he finds out Carlos is still half in the closet, and this is the very reaction he was so afraid of and why he avoided it for so long.
None of it is done with malintent, it’s all self-preservation and learned coping mechanisms from things in his past that have left such deep scars, but TK doesn’t know that, so it hurts him anyway.
TK, meanwhile, is still pretty fresh off of getting his heart broken so badly that he tried to kill himself. He went to Austin in a truly horrendous state of pain and trauma and heartache. He wasn’t planning on meeting his soulmate so soon, he wasn’t ready to meet his soulmate because of how much his heart was still in tatters, which is why we get him being so wishy-washy in season one. By early season two he’s also very much in that honeymoon phase, but that doesn’t mean his wounds are fully healed yet. He asks Carlos about his parents, it feels implied in the party scene that it isn’t the first time he’s asking about them. He’s given Carlos the opportunity to have the conversation that they need to have, but Carlos has changed the subject.
Then they run into them. TK is so happy to meet them, and then so instantly crushed when Carlos introduces him as a friend. He’s upset all the way home, and Carlos – for reasons TK doesn’t understand yet – is acting like it’s not a big deal. TK storms out because that’s how he copes with things at this stage in his emotional development, and leaves some hurtful words for Carlos as a parting gift. Not a mature way to handle things, but in a later scene with Owen and Gwyn it’s revealed how hurt TK really is. “I wanted him to tell them who I was and what I mean to him,” TK says, all dejected. “Maybe he did. Maybe we are just friends.” Because Alex also told TK "I love you", and then cheated on him. TK’s lingering Alex trauma bubbles back up; fuck not again, not another man who says ‘I love you’ to my face but then hides me and doesn’t really want forever with me, even though that isn’t really what’s happening with Carlos.
If it wasn’t for Alex, TK probably wouldn’t have been half as upset by any of this and would have been more receptive to hearing an explanation, but Carlos doesn’t know that, so it hurts him anyway.
It’s just such good conflict. They’re both right, and they’re both wrong. They’re both operating from places of extreme hurt that isn’t the other person’s fault, and they’re both operating from places of not understanding the extent of what the other is going through. And in the scene where they make up you can see how much love there is and how much they both really want to understand the other better. It’s such a beautiful way to love someone, to say to each other “let me meet you where you are and love you the way you need to be loved, even if it’s different from how I need to be loved.”

a moment that stuck out to me while rewatching the pilot was tk's reaction when they're visiting the firehouse for the first time, the way he tells owen to call and tell the deputy chief he's changed his mind, they don't belong there. he sees the memorial and the flowers and the way the firehouse is exactly as it was the day that last call came in, and he's immediately horrified at the idea of himself and owen intruding on this grieving process. recognizing that they were invited to austin by higher-ups who have no idea what the loved ones of these men are going through, who now have to be okay with total strangers coming in and making assumptions and thinking they know best how to move forward.
i feel like this is such a good distillation of tk's character, his instinctual selflessness, the way he so easily puts himself in the shoes of others (even people he's never met) and tries to understand from their perspectives. he knows he and his dad have the best intentions but these people may see them as assholes, and that's important to focus on, the impact it could have. it's a brief moment that demonstrates just how deeply tk cares, how aware he is of the priority being helping people. treading lightly, not adding to their pain while they're already grieving, caring for them by making them feel heard, no matter how that looks.
#which is kinda what owen says and what happens at the end with judd#owen just hearing him and letting him get everything out#it works so well#also tk's strong awareness of him and owen being new yorkers#city slickers coming in to tell them they're doing life wrong#being aware of the stereotype that new yorkers feeling like everywhere is inferior#he is so sweet im just so :(#he really had my heart from day fucking one this boy#i love him so much#911 lone star rewatch 2024#911 lone star#tk strand#911 ls meta

I mean the wayyy he checks his face and then his whole body (his…package too?) and then sort of bites his lip!!! Also that man checking TK out too?
God Damn!!!! FIRE BABY!! So sexy!!!

911 Lone Star rewatch 1x02 thoughts:
PRE OFFICAL TARLOS SIDE CONVOS AT WORK - "why do I feel like he's doing a thing?" "he's totally doing a thing" 😏🥺 BABIESSS so many feelings for such a tiny moment
Also connected to: PAUL AND CARLOS INTERACTING 🎉 i love their friendship and both of them doing their detective thing. Also, they look so cool standing together as the delivery guy who poisoned the food is taken away
Judd saying "I BET HE'D RATHER HAVE A BALD DAD THAN A DEAD DAD" to Owen 😭😭😭😭 WHILE THE CAMERA PANS TO TK RUNNING, SHIRT UNBUTTONED, probably late to shift. There are so so many layers to this scene - with a snippet of TK after his hookup with Tarlos and the feelings that came with Owen hiding his cancer from TK.
Honorable mentions include: the entire racist lady scene, LAST NIGHT I SLEPT IN MY STILETTOS, father-son team Owen and TK detecting overload vibrations, the buttons on Carlos's shirt (RIP), Grace and Judd ❤️❤️

I know a lot of people get mad at Owen in 2x12 for not realizing that the arsonist threatened TK's life until it was almost too late, but I personally don't hold it against him too much. I mean, he did eventually figure it out, and I don't see it as any kind of commentary on how important TK is to him that it took him until the last second to do so. (At the very least, I think Gabriel deserves equal blame.)
However, I do blame both of them for planning and executing an elaborate plot involving a fake arrest, a law enforcement search of Owen's house, and a whole interrogation scenario without even thinking to give either of their sons a heads up! If I were TK and Carlos, THAT is the thing I'd be most annoyed about!

It makes me smile so much that when TK asked the completely reasonable question of why would you ever want to hang out with Billy Tyson (and, also WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM YOU HAVE CANCER OWEN. YOU DUMBASS. TELL THIS CARTOON VILLAIN YOU DONT LIKE CIGARS!) but that when Owen gives the reason of because TK doesn’t like golf, TK’s immediate reaction “well I could TRY golf how do you know I can’t golf for all we know I LOVE golf!!!!”
Like sweet boy you are too precious 🥺🥺🥺
