“I’m coming with you,” TK snaps, leaving no room for argument as he glares at his father. This is Carlos they’re talking about, after all. TK would do anything for him.
He sucks in a deep breath, exhaling shakily. Then, softer and more desperately, “He’s my husband.”

1. in the long tresses of your hair (i am a babbling brook)
The man in front of Patrick has really nice hair.
Patrick is ten years old the first time he sees him.
3. let our shadows fall away like dust
It starts with a customer.
Stevie hates surprises.
When Patrick wakes up, he’s sore all over.
6. paint me up (you’re my favorite color)
The first time David arrives at the store wearing nail polish, Patrick is entirely unprepared.
7. with a hand on your side of the bed
David flops over on his back, sighing as he stares up at the water-stained ceiling.
“There’s something wrong with this app,” David complains, staring at his phone where the crossword he’s trying to complete has informed him that there’s an error.
9. if you’ll be my star, i’ll be your sky
Patrick blinks his eyes open slowly, already sensing that something isn’t quite right.
10. the world would make sense again (if I held your hand)
It’s not that Twyla doesn’t want to visit Alexis.

Saw this on @stereopticons dash and wanted to play!
David sighed in frustration as his phone alarm rang, reminding him it was time to turn off his carefully curated playlist and put on CKLM98.
May Your Days Be Merry And Bright
Patrick Brewer walked slowly down the sidewalk, his hands clenched inside his jacket pockets and his head low.
Stevie closes her minesweeper window as Mr. Rose enters the motel office, ready for his shift.
Patrick leaned against the wrought iron bars of the cemetery gate and let out a deep breath.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Reindeer
The bell over the door rang as Jocelyn entered the store, holding a stack of light green flyers.
And because i only have 5 posted ones: Unpublished WIPs where I am pretty confident this is the final first line (because I am very good at beginning fics, but things get sticky in the middle)
I crumble when you are not near
David and Patrick held hands as they stood on the sidewalk outside Patrick’s apartment building, saying goodbye to Marcy and Clint Brewer.
The Bodyguard
Patrick fished the keys out of his pocket, unlocked the door to his small bungalow, and pushed the door open.
Cry Little Sister
David stared out the window of the long black Lincoln, unable to believe this was what his life had come to.
Two Christmases
Patrick gripped the steering wheel tightly as they inched along the crowded parking lot.

The Grindr Toolbox: A Guide to Getting Nailed (series: Tarlos, David x Patrick, Firstprince - I’m cheating a little here, but all three fics in this series start with the same first line)
“Fuck.”
to love is to undress our names (Tarlos)
A wave of relief washes over him.
the way you make me feel (so real, so good) (Tarlos)
It’s been a day.
I gotta handle you just right (Tarlos)
“Oh my god,” Nancy says as she walks into their house, dropping her bag on the floor.
and this is romance, let’s dance (Tarlos)
Carlos has to admire TK’s confidence in following him onto the dance floor and attempting to line dance – something he’s clearly never done before.
the strong will never fall (Tarlos)
“TK?” Carlos’ voice brings him back to the present and he turns to look at his fiancè, who’s looking back at him with concern written across his face.
these are the moments i cherish (Tarlos)
TK will never ever get tired of being kissed by his husband.
Precious Love (Tarlos)
When TK’s mom picks him up from the bus station after summer camp, he’s excited to see her and tell her all about it, but she seems like she’s in a strange mood.
Your Place or Mine? (Tarlos)
TK and Carlos sleep in Carlos’ room on their final night at the Reyes ranch, curled around each other in Carlos’ bed – deliberately this time – although things don’t get any further than some lazy making out and a little grinding, once they’re both hard in their pyjamas and pressed against each other.
Soon (Tarlos)
TK loves this.
Not entirely sure I’d say there’s a pattern there? other than that I’ve clearly been writing mostly Tarlos fics for a while now

I only have two, lol
Make Me Laugh 'till I Die, I Stand Beside You With Pride “TK shuts the door behind Owen, locking it before walking back to the kitchen.”
Sunshine On My Body, Rainbows Bloomin' In My Skies “TK closes his eyes as his hand lightly connects with the soft green moss blanketing a sturdy tree trunk.”
From a couple wips:
Call Me If You Get Lost: ‘“Mmm, hey baby,” TK snakes his arms around Carlos as he walks up behind him at the stove.’
(i only want to be) the echo of your beauty: “Carlos lets out a low whistle as he rolls the loft’s front door open.”
I guess they open and close their front door a lot? Oh! I always start with action lol

“God, he’s cute.” TK mumbles the phrase more to himself than anything. - a little taste of love
Carlos checks the mailbox before walking into their apartment. - anger has told me her real name if grief
Life is funny; it’s unexpected. - i'd wait a million years for you
“Nancy,” Nancy looks up at the call of her name. TK is standing in front of her, both hands on his hips. - hooked on you
There’s a lot of things you miss when the love of your life suddenly stops short of being just that; when the person you thought of sharing forever with doesn’t even want to share a home. - all my blood for the sweetness of his laugh (jeff buckley you will always be famous)
“Carlos, baby,” Grace’s accent travels through the microphone like honey. - this side of paradise
“TK?” Jonah’s voice is quiet and TK can hear his confusion clear through the question. “Am I doing something wrong?” - when life gives you lemon
Carlos says, “I love you” in so many different ways, and TK loves each and every one of them. - home is wherever i'm with you
“I can’t believe they’re making us do work at our jobs.” Marjan laments, looking at the vending machine selection. - come and take a walk on the wild side
“Alright,” TK sighs as he walks into the firehouse kitchen. - you've made me so very happy
I don't know if it's noticeable with these, or if I just notice it because I wrote it, but I really, really love when I feel like I'm thrown into the middle of something. Conversations already being had, plans already being made, consequences already being dealt, I just love learning retrospectively as we go forward.

Tagged by @rmd-writes @stereopticons @jettestar @mallpretzles! thank you!
lost in the static (Tarlos)
“Who are you calling?”
Carlos’s Greatest Lizardventure (Tarlos)
It’s Catan night at the loft, and finally, Carlos has made it back from the store where he picked up a demanding list of snacks he and TK had forgotten.
still we’re holding on (Tarlos)
They cling to each other, TK exhaling shaky breaths against his skin.
when i first laid my eyes on you (Tarlos)
TK didn’t expect Carlos.
Struck Down (Tarlos)
The upside to getting punched so hard he got knocked on his ass is that TK gets to come home early to Carlos.
catch you when you fall (Alexis & David, Alexis/Twyla)
Alexis has always been impulsive.
Everything’s Coming Up Rose (David/Patrick)
Patrick stares at the row of Valentine’s Day cards under the humming, yellow fluorescent lights.
there for you (David/Patrick)
The night ending with his mom sequestering herself in the closet is predictable.
Spirit of the Season (David/Patrick)
David flops down onto his sofa, limbs flailing outward.
In Case of Emergency (David/Patrick)
Patrick takes another sip of tea and leans back in his chair.
Is there a pattern here?? I’m honestly not sure. It was fun doing this though!
