I'm watching Smiley on Netflix and Álex reminds me so much of TK. I desperately need them to meet

Please, they would be best friends

Not to distract from the seriousnes of the scene, but TK and Carlos sitting in front of their bed makes it look like the bed is way too small for two grown men.

Unless they sleep, like, literally on top of each other

The only Owen post I'm looking foward to see on my dash is a parallel of him asking if he's going to make it to his sons wedding in 1x01 and him actually being at TKs and Carlos's wedding

For some reason I can’t stop thinking that Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) from 9-1-1: Lone Star just looks like he could be Clark Kent/Superman

LIKE DO YOU SEE?? DO YOU SEE IT??

That’s literally Clark right there

Then as Superman as well. Like. I mean. Come on.

You know I’m right.

I hate this theme. I can’t imagine Carlos is this way ever! He has so much love for TK and I just can’t imagine he’s not home for him more often. Not having dinner with him, spending every second possible with him. One reason I adore Carlos so much is because of how much he loves TK and how he will do anything to make sure the love of his life is happy! Hardly being home for dinner does not show that.

I do understand why people are running with it though. It’s because this is what the writers gave us in season 5. They showed him as distant and not as loving. Yeah he was grieving and had tunnel vision, but personally I do not feel like even in his grief, he would’ve ignored his husband. It’s just not in his character. The final season was their worst and I’m so sad they ended the show with Carlos this way and made TK, more or less, a housewife (not his passion). They changed our boys and took away the things we loved most about them. Season 5 pretty much just does not exist for me.

is it just me or is there this weird theme in future tarlos fics where Carlos is never home for dinner and sees his family for a few waking hours a week. and it’s not because they’re having problems or he’s avoiding them. there’s not even tension with this. he’s just often portrayed as always out of the house and only eating family dinner occasionally and working all the time and an outsider in his own family … for no reason

tk & carlos (& lou) — 3x15 "down to clown"

Writer’s block sucks! It sucks even more when you have just one chapter left of your story and it just won’t flow like it had been. For those waiting for the last chapter of The Impossible, I am so sorry I don’t have it finished. I have been hit with a bad case of writer’s block and just need to step away from it. I hope to have it finished some time this week.

So true! There are more of us out there that don’t care for the Jonah line than others realize. And please please, continue to support those of us on ao3 that give fics without that line. The kudos and comments are everything! ❤️

Hey! I feel the exact same way about Tarlos as parents - it’s so frustrating. I never wanted them to adopt, whether it was some random baby or Johan. It feels like they completely changed their dynamic in just 12 episodes. People don’t just change their minds about something as big as having kids that quickly, especially when Carlos was clearly against it. It really ruined things for me, and now I can’t even find any good new fics to help me cope, I’m about to give up on AO3 completely

Hi, anon! Thanks so much for your message. I totally get how you’re feeling - I’ve been there too. Forcing adoption and then romanticizing it doesn’t do these characters justice.

But don’t give up! Writers are absolutely free to explore whatever they want, and even those writing stuff we’re not into often have older Tarlos fics that still capture the dynamic we love.

There are so many Lone Star writers out there who feel the same way about the show’s ending and are worried the fandom is fading because of how many people didn’t like the ending - this is where we come in :)

Keep supporting the writers who do write what you love. Leave kudos, drop a comment - it really means the world to them and helps keep the fandom going strong ❤️

Nailed every part of them! Mentioned everything I love about them separately and together! So glad I’m not the only one that sees all the amazing qualities that both these babes have!

What is your favorite quality about TK? What is your favorite quality about Carlos? And what is your favorite thing about them as a couple?

Hi Sweetie! Thanks for the ask! Where do I begin? 😅

My favorite quality about TK is his tenderness. It’s not just something he shows - it’s who he is. When he looks at you, you can see straight into his core, and it’s so raw and beautiful. He feels things deeply, he loves with everything he has, and there’s this quiet vulnerability in him that’s just incredibly moving - even after everything he went through. He’s also incredibly brave - especially when it comes to his job.

With Carlos, it’s his loyalty and calm strength. He’s protective and grounded, and he has this steady presence that makes you feel safe. He’s a caretaker at heart - you see it in the way he makes TK food, how he anticipates his needs without being asked, how he holds space for TK even when things get messy. He doesn’t just love with words, he loves through actions.

As a couple, it’s their chaotic dynamic that I love most - the way their differences make them fit perfectly. TK is impulsive and emotional; Carlos is steady and composed. The lizard moment is a great example: TK brought a lizard home like it was no big deal, and Carlos freaked out - but he loves TK more than anything, so of course they kept it. Or the proposal scene, where TK is overwhelmed and struggling with his emotions, and Carlos, even half-asleep, instantly senses it and calms his baby down without hesitation. They just get and ground each other and it’s so special to watch.

Thank you for the ask again ❤️ I could ramble about this for hours 😅

Seven-Sentences Sunday

Okay so it’s more than seven again. But sometimes it just needs to be.

Taking the citrusy fruit, he gives her a small smile. “Thanks, Fah. For everything. For fixing me up. For taking care of me. For coming with me.”

“Someone need to keep you in line. Make you stop and take care of yourself. You die out here without help.” She speaks bluntly and it’s something TK finds refreshing.

It isn’t long after the sun sets that TK drifts off to sleep. They discussed and agreed to take shifts so they could keep an eye on each other. Fah insists on TK sleeping first. He doesn’t fight her on it as his eyes are drooping without his consent.

After a few hours of sleep, Fah shakes TK to a state of awareness and he bolts up right, wincing as he grabs at his ribs.

“Enough for you. I sleep now.” She speaks and lays down getting comfortable and using his leg as a pillow.

WIP Wednesday

Another snippet from the new story. The first chapter is almost ready to go up.

@ronenstrand

“Tyler,” Carlos whispered against the shell of his ear. “Tyler,” another whisper followed by a sweet peck just behind his ear. “Wake up, my love.”  TK groaned and wiggled his body as he snuggled closer to Carlos. “Errrrmm, no.” He responded with a grumpy tone.  Carlos laughed lightly and let his hand roam down TK’s side to his hip, where he caressed the soft flesh of his hip bone with his thumb. “C’mon baby. We have work to do.” “No, I do not! I’m off today!” TK claimed proudly and pulled his pillow around his head, covering his ears.  “We have boxes to pack up before the crew arrives to help move.” That got TK’s attention, and he released the pillow, his eyes looking at his boyfriend. “We’re moving in today.” He smiled widely as his eyes connected with Carlos’s.  “Yeah.” Carlos mirrored TK’s smile before leaning down and capturing his lips with his own. “I can’t wait to wake up with you every morning.” He spoke as his lips began to trail down TK’s neck, leaving hot little kisses wherever they touched. “Fall asleep with you every night.” His lips journeyed over to his throat. “Knowing you don’t have to leave to go home.” Back to his lips, where he kissed him passionately. “Because you already are.”  TK reciprocated the kiss, giving just as much passion and adding some heat to it, wanting more than just his lips. But Carlos pulled away.  “Mmm, baby, don’t start anything we don’t have time to finish.” He chuckled. “Everyone is going to be here in two hours. We have to get the rest packed before they show up.”  TK groaned and rubbed himself up against Carlos anyway. “But you made me want more. It’s your fault.”  Carlos laughed and placed a hand on the side of TK’s face. “I promise you will have more later. When we are in our new home!”

more than SEVEN-SENTENCES SUNDAY The new story is coming along well... here's a tease of it.

@ronenstrand

TK closes his eyes just to rest them. He’s so tired. He must have drifted off because he doesn’t remember the door coming to a stop. He doesn’t remember getting up, walking, or moving at all. When he opens his eyes, he’s in an overcrowded hospital. There’s chatter, moans, soft screams, and crying. It’s not loud, but it’s noisy. His head is pounding, his throat is dry, and he just wants to get up and find Carlos. 

When he sits up, he winces. The pain in his ribs is excruciating. He folds his arm around himself only to find that he’s been bandaged. The piece of metal in his thigh is gone, and it, as well as his calf, have both also been bandaged. Though incredibly grateful, he’s confused as to how he got here; how he had been so out of it that he remembers none of it all.

So happy and in love! But what happens when the unexpected happens and tears them apart?

New story in the works!

SEVEN SENTENCE SUNDAY

A little more than seven sentences, but hey... who actually follows that rule? Hahaha! Enjoy this little bit from Chapter 4 of RUINED. I should hopefully have this chapter posted within the next couple of days.

@ronenstrand

Carlos cradled TK's face in his large hands, his fingers trembling slightly as he leaned in to kiss him. The kiss was fervent and filled with an intensity that spoke volumes, a passionate declaration of feelings he had kept buried. As they finally pulled apart, their foreheads touched, creating an intimate connection that seemed to suspend time. Slowly, Carlos used his thumbs to gently brush away the tears that traveled down TK's cheeks, each droplet glistening in the soft light. “I’m going to miss you so much,” he whispered, his voice barely above a breath, heavy with emotion and the weight of their impending separation.

“I’m going to miss you too,” TK whispered, his heart racing as he pressed his lips against Carlos’s once more. The warmth of their connection enveloped them, and in that moment, he felt an overwhelming wave of emotion. “Carlos, I lo…,”

“Don’t. Please don’t say it. It’ll just make it harder for me to leave.”  He squeezed his eyes shut, feeling hot tears spill down his cheeks as he battled the overwhelming urge to voice the very words he had just silenced in TK. “I have to go.” In that fleeting moment, he leaned in for one last kiss, pouring every unspoken emotion—fear, love, and sorrow—into that brief encounter, desperate to convey what words could never express.
