Summary
Back together after their breakup, TK and Carlos head to Galveston for sea air and sunshine while TK recovers from his coma. Unfortunately, they arrive as Galveston’s worst storm for 100 years is raging – and they quickly learn that their hotel is the most haunted in the city. With TK susceptible to seeing things in the dark after his near-death experience, echoes from the past arrive with messages, and there isn’t much to do except huddle up in bed and wait until morning.
TK scrolls a little lower down the page he’s on. “And we’ve got Sister Katherine. A nun.”
“A nun?” Carlos sags, the navy button-up in his hands slapping against his legs. “I’m a gay Catholic. The last thing I need is an angry nun sneaking up on me while I have your balls in my mouth.”
“Carlos!” TK giggles with surprise and faceplants the mattress before propping himself up on his side. His bare foot sticks off the edge of the bed, prime target for a ghost to grab. “She didn’t bother us when we were in the shower.”
“True.” Carlos quirks an eyebrow. “But we didn’t exactly give her much time.”
TK glares at him playfully and resumes his research...

Summary
The loft, once a hollow shell of empty corners and silent walls, becomes a witness to the love story of TK and Carlos—a love so vibrant and real that it fills her with hope. Unlike the countless others who walked through her doors, TK and Carlos see her not as a space to own, but as a home to build a life in. Their connection, their laughter, their quiet moments of love, make her ache to belong to them, to be the place where their story unfolds.
----
5 times the loft wished the love she once felt would come back, and 1 time it actually did.

Summary
One moment he’s drifting off to sleep, one hand loosely in TK’s as the exhaustion of the day catches up with him.
The next, he’s wide awake as the monitors beep and doctors surge around them like a tidal wave pulling him away from the man he loves. TK’s body jerks and twitches, eyes rolled back so far that the lids are cracked open, displaying the whites as he seizes and seizes, and Carlos can’t move, can’t speak, can’t do anything to resist as he’s pushed closer and closer to the door.

TK's season on the ice should have certainly made for a slower and more unpleasant recovery.

Summary
The day TK falls through the ice is a day that Carlos doesn't want to remember, but it's one he can't forget.
It's the day he's currently stuck living over and over and over again.

Summary
The body behind him probably shouldn’t even be here at all. He doesn’t know a lot about how to act around an ex-boyfriend who holds vigil at your bedside whilst your organs shut down in a coma, and he definitely doesn’t know how to act if you’re still completely, sick-to-your-stomach in love with him.

I Was Thinking About Your Mouth by carlos-in-glasses (stormwriting) for Lola_di_Penates

Summary
In the early hours of a mellow May night, TK Strand wakes Carlos Reyes and proposes to him. A baffled Carlos initially starts to talk TK down – as if assuming he might not mean it. This is the story of why.
Or, 4 times TK accidentally proposed because Carlos is spectacular with his mouth, +1 time he genuinely proposed because Carlos is spectacular with his heart.
He’s smug when he enters him. He gets to be. No finger-stretch is quite enough for Carlos’ thickness, and TK grits his teeth at the exquisite burn – so familiar, yet always a shock. Carlos catches TK’s mouth with his as he opens wide, his head tipping back. Carlos licks at TK’s lips, his tongue, his teeth. He loves the way he can make TK’s mouth open with words or make it open with silence. He can make TK’s mouth open like he can’t open it wide enough to get all the air he needs, or to let out the moan trapped around his heart. He loves TK’s mouth so much, he just has to kiss it, even if TK’s mind has bent sideways and he doesn’t have the wherewithal to kiss him back right now. On his desk at work, Carlos keeps a picture of TK grinning beautifully. It’s his favourite thing. That smile, that mouth. He thinks about it all the time.

Summary
“That's the thing about love. Most of the time, it's beautiful. It's a feeling unlike any other, and even when it got complicated it was almost always worth it.
Sometimes, it also sucks. It brings pain and heartache, and every now and then the bad memories begin to overpower whatever love that once existed between two people until it ultimately tears them apart in the end."
Carlos has been lost these past couple of months without TK by his side. To his friends and his family, every day is simply just another day. He figures that as long as he keeps his pain locked away, the hurt will eventually dull. It's his shield. It's the only way he's ever known how to grieve.
The universe has a different plan for him this time.
All it takes is one frozen lake, one fateful radio call, and the possibility of losing TK forever that forces him to confront it all.

Summary
Nancy hugs him, and he doesn’t understand. She rambles on, saying words he tries to focus on, but he doesn’t understand. A stranger, a mother of a patient, a young boy, in the hospital, comes over. She starts speaking, and he doesn’t understand, but she continues, she leaves, and his whole world comes tumbling down.
He almost wishes he didn’t understand again.
He stands outside the glass doors, staring through fingerprints and dust at the man he thought was the love of his life. And he is, Carlos guesses. TK is the love of his life, even if Carlos isn’t the love of his. But right now, only machines are keeping him alive. They beep, loud even through the glass doors, and Carlos understands as much as he doesn’t. He understands in theory, though the medical jargon still goes over his head, but he doesn’t understand in practice. Why?

“You came back,” TK says. Carlos wasn’t sure how much he would remember from the night before between the exhaustion and medication, if he would remember reaching for him and breathlessly calling him baby as if nothing had changed, that he had been there at all.

Summary
“No llores, nieto,” Carlos’ abuelo tells him during the wake of his abuela's funeral.
His abuelo crouches down, his joints cracking and popping as he stoops to Carlos’ eye level. He raises a calloused thumb and wipes away the tears that are still falling from Carlos’ wide brown eyes.
“Men like us,” His abuelo continues, his words casting a wide net. “We don’t let the world pity us, we can’t let them see us as soft.”
Carlos nods, wiping away any new tears that are starting to fall. The right sleeve of his charcoal gray suit now comes away colored a staunch black where Carlos’ tears have dampened it.
For some reason, the way his abuelo says ‘soft’ ricochets off of Carlos, as if it were stone and Carlos is a thin sheet of glass nestled into a window pane. It’s left a dent, an imprint, an impression, but hasn’t done enough damage to cause a crack.
Carlos’ bloodshot eyes shine with hesitation as he asks, voice small and insecure, “Reyes men don’t cry?
“Reyes men don’t cry,” His abuelo confirms.
or
A character study in which Carlos learns to love himself a little more, even the soft parts.

Where All This Love Comes From by carlos-in-glasses (stormwriting)

Summary
Six months after Gabriel Reyes’ death, TK grows concerned about Carlos’ drinking and brings him to a meeting at the Y. Afterwards, over omelets at the diner, the husbands open up to each other. TK reflects on meeting Carlos after years of addiction and self-destruction, while Carlos has continued to seek closure by uncovering two unknowns: The identity of his father’s killer, and how his father truly felt about Carlos as his son.
A single tear slips from Carlos' eye. Years ago, there was a young man in New York City called TK Strand and he had no idea that in Austin, Texas, a stranger called Carlos Reyes was aching, yearning, pining for exactly him. He had no idea how loved he was going to be by someone he had yet to meet. He had no idea how wonderful he was as a person with or without a partner – but he was about to find out. That's why you have to keep living, Carlos thinks, so you can find out.

Summary
"From the first second he walked into the ICU, he’d not been able to unglue his eyes from TK. Maybe Owen still thinks there’s a part of Carlos capable of walking away, but Carlos sure can’t find it. Things would be a hell of a lot easier if he could."
This is how TK and Carlos went from exes to back to lovers in the days of TK's recovery in the hospital.
