I promise that it’s worth the risk

Carlos has an accident at work and for a while, TK thinks everything is lost.
But then he wakes up, and everything is okay.
But then it isn’t, because Carlos doesn’t remember him. In fact, Carlos doesn’t remember anything of the past three years: the entirety of TK’s time in Austin. Which is a pretty sick joke on the universe’s behalf, in TK’s opinion. He doesn’t know how to deal with that fact that though he didn’t lose Carlos, he did lose him in just about every way that matters.
But if one thing will always be true it’s that TK Strand loves Carlos Reyes with his entire heart and nothing is going to stop him from being there for him, whatever may come.
Six months later, the amnesia fic is finally done!
There are so many people I need to thank for getting me through the writing of this and making sure I actually did finish writing this in so many different ways. I’m going to list a few but I know that the list is not limited to just them: @moviegeek03, @justaswampdemon, @pragmatic-optimist, @doublel27
Beta’d by the wonderful @terramous
If you’d like to listen to the playlist I made to go with this fic, you can find that here. Happy reading!
--------
In the days that followed he would marvel that all it took to upend his entire world was one phone call.
Because that’s all it had been: a single call from a kind but efficient nurse in a hospital across the city. TK had never been on the other end of the call from the hospital. He could say with absolute certainty that he hated it.
Well, at the moment, he didn’t really feel like he could say anything at all. He was frozen at the edge of the station kitchen as Nancy gently pried his phone from his hand and Marjan placed a warm hand on his shoulder as she studied him with worried eyes. He wanted to assure them he was fine, that they didn’t have to worry, but that would be a lie. He was so far from fine he couldn’t even remember the sound of the word. His world had just been tipped off its axis and now it felt like it was spinning in place, stuck at this moment and a single line repeating in his head like a broken record: Detective Reyes has been injured in the line of duty.
He doesn’t know how Carlos had done it so many times. How had he even been able to breathe after getting one of those calls, let alone function? It’s all TK can do to agree to his dad’s offer to drive him to the hospital and to sit silently in the passenger seat, anxious fingers twisting at the gold band on his necklace as the world flashes by outside the window.
He could feel his dad’s eyes on him and he knew without looking what he would see. The weight of his gaze felt familiar; it was the same one he had felt so often in the days right after his mom had died. He knew his dad meant well, but he couldn’t handle it. The thought of losing Carlos like he had his mom…it was too much. He couldn’t bear those connections right now.
“Please stop looking at me like that.”
His dad looked startled by the sound of his voice, but he recovered quickly, “Like what?”
“Like he’s already dead.”

Can I ask for number 23 for Tarlos please 💚💚
“Well that was a nice surprise.”
TK’s only response is to roll over, a liquid smile on his lips as he drags a finger over the ridge of Carlos’ cheekbone.
“Did not think that was in the cards for us tonight,” he continues, catching TK’s wrist.
“No?”
Carlos shakes his head against the pillow. “Mm-mm.”
“Considering we both just worked our first very long shift since getting engaged,” TK explains, “I kind of think surprising my fiancé when he came home was necessary.”
Said fiancé looks absolutely sated to his left, one arm tucked up behind his head, the other reaching out for TK’s hiked-up knee where it’s poking out of the blankets.
“It was definitely a surprise. I did not expect you to basically rip my clothes off the second I walked through the front door.”
TK rolls his eyes. “Like you’re so innocent.”
“Oh, I never said that,” Carlos grumbles low as he rolls over to kiss him. It’s slow and languid, and TK’s swears he falls in love all over again.
send me a number and I’ll write a micro story using the word or phrase

💍 Wedding fic
“So, little Miss Tami,” Marjan began, angling her phone just right. Andrea watched as the oldest of her granddaughters looked up expectantly, smiling at the woman that had quickly become a friend to all the little Reyes girls. “Do you want to tell our viewers about the beautiful tradition your family has?”
“Yes,” Tami exclaimed, Lily and Cami joining instantly and Andrea smiled at them fondly. It was such an old family tradition at every Reyes wedding, and the three girls had been giddy about their part in it for weeks.
💉 Dr. Nicky AU
“If you free me now, I might get out, yes,” Joe admitted before shaking his head. “But the chance that they catch me is just as high. And either way, it would mean your certain death. Nicky, that’s something I cannot bear.”
“And you think I can bear torturing you again?” Nicky cried out, his voice almost breaking. “I would rather die than cut you open again, don’t you get that?”

@ronenrubinstein aka my love down under. Bonnie is honestly one of my favorite people ever. She may live on the other side of the world from me, but time zones have nothing on us! I literally begin and end almost every day talking to her. She's so fucking funny, omg. Her commentary is 10/10. I love waking up to a straight up wall of IG messages filled with reels and her random thoughts of day. Gah one day I will make my way to Australia and never leave her side. She's just the best and I adore her and her cool ass accent. I can't believe how many years it's been, but she's never getting rid of me 😌
for every 🥝 i get, i’ll recommend a blog i love

Of course hun! Hope you are doing well. This is the WIP to Mess is Mine that I've posted a few chapters of. The final chapter is all that's left, featuring TK recovering from a car wreck and the fall out of everyone learning he hid the wreck from them during Charlie's birthday party.

Ok you’re just getting an excerpt:
A moment passes, making the only noise the thin whistle of wind around the car and the low-playing music on the radio. They haven’t switched to the joint playlist TK insisted they make yet.
“Hey,” Carlos hears, and he turns his head a little to the right without taking his eyes off the road. “I never did thank you for agreeing to take me with you.”
“You know it’s not a big deal, TK. We’re both going to the same place.”
“No, I know, but—” TK turns in his seat as far as his seatbelt will let him. “You didn’t have to say yes.”
“I know I didn’t,” Carlos agrees. “But I wouldn’t have said no, either.”
A beat. “Just…given our past.”
“It’s our past,” he says, and it’s as simple as that. “I think we should make the most out of this trip, don’t you?” He chances a quick glance over at TK, who smiles back.
“Definitely. You’re a good friend, Carlos.”
Friend. He doesn’t hate it, but he doesn’t love it either. Their relationship ended for a reason, leaving them both clearly and understandably heartbroken, but as life would have it, the universe couldn’t keep them away from each other. Carlos supposes that’s what going to the same school does; they were in the same vicinity. TK’s still in his life, and that’s really what matters most.
He looks over again, this time for a second longer as they merge onto the New Jersey Turnpike. “You, too.”
There are 1,748 miles between New York and Austin. That’s roughly twenty-seven hours if they drive non-stop.
Carlos can do it. He can survive four days alone in a car with TK.
It’ll be great.

Writing has been so hard lately, even though I REALLY want to and have so many ideas. It just hasn't been happening- that said, @lilythesilly @bonheur-cafe thank you for tagging me in these, sometimes they're the push i need to write even one sentence 💛
From the Buddie secret relationship AU:
Buck stares at his locker, water bottle dangling limply from his shaking hands. He should put on his shirt, get his things and leave this day behind, but he can't. He feels numb in a way he hasn't felt since Devon.
He got a lot better at bouncing back from the losses, but this one hurt on a much deeper level and would probably not leave him for a long time.
"Buck?"
The voice startles him, unexpected as it is, and he drops the bottle, spiling water all over the tiles. Unthinking, he drops down and starts to dry it off with his shirt. By the time Eddie's hands come into view, stopping his frantic movements and pulling him up, the red t shirt is soaking wet.
Their eyes lock, and Buck's face crumbles.
Eddie, without a second thought, pulls him in. Buck buries his face in the crook of Eddie's neck, and breathes him in.
For just a second, it feels like it used to.
Tagging: @tkstrrand @buckybarnesalways @lambourngb @chaotictarlos @noxsoulmate @rangergurlgleek1211 @sapphire11
