    Summary

    TK Strand has been an attorney long enough to know that networking events with accounting firms offer little more than terrible wine that he doesn’t drink, uninspiring small talk and a stack of identical-looking business cards.

    Until he takes Nancy up on a bet and winds up having all of his preconceived ideas about business development being challenged by an accountant who is very far from boring.

    Summary

    “Carlos.”
    It’s not Campbell’s voice calling his name anymore. It’s softer… warmer…
    “Carlos, baby, I need you to stay with me.” Two gentle hands cup both of his cheeks. Everything is cold, so very cold, but the hands are warm against his skin, and for the brief moment that they’re touching him he feels like he can breathe again.
    “TK… Tyler?” He mumbles. The words taste bitter and metallic leaving his mouth. He’s not sure how it’s possible that he’s here. They’re too far from Austin for it to really be him. It has to be a dream, one last dream of his husband before he drifts off forever…
    “I’m right here, baby. I need you to stay with me.”

    OR: Carlos is dying and it's TK that comes to save him, because who else would it be?

    Summary

    He should have been smarter, or maybe a little more scared. It was Carlos' hubris that got them into this situation in the first place, thinking he could take on intruders with nothing but the threat of his gun and de-escalation training.

    "That's the job," a voice that sounds suspiciously like his father rings in the back of his mind. "You make split-second decisions and learn to live with the consequences."

    "Whose consequences?" he shoots bitterly back at a man who's not even here with him. Gabriel doesn't respond.

    Summary

    Sir Carlos Reyes is at a rocky point in his life—engaged to be married to a woman he can't love, living in a house with a family that has never felt more distant. A several-months-long quest from the king is exactly what he needs to sort out his head and get used to the fact that his life isn't turning out how he wants. If it means babysitting a spoiled prince, then Carlos will just have to deal with that.

    Prince TK is at a loss. After suffering an accident at his own hands that has severely weakened his magic, the only thing he desires is to be left alone. Unfortunately, his father is dragging him across the kingdom on a goodwill tour. To top it all off, he's been assigned a personal guard who is insanely hot and infuriatingly annoying.

    Maybe what they both need is right in front of them.

    Oh, and there's also something coming after magical creatures. Surely that won't come up on the journey, though.

    Summary

    When you stop breathing, it gets very hard to believe you can start again.
    Time and space and sight narrows, distorts, and Carlos feels like a pinprick or a flea. He feels utterly, suffocatingly alone. He feels trapped. He grips the steering wheel desperately, tries to breathe, just breathe--
    Breathe. Breathe, breathe.
    His phone is in his hand. He doesn’t remember how it got there. There’s a droplet on the screen, probably a tear. He notices that he’s brought TK’s contact up.
    How are you feeling? Carlos types. It takes him a moment to get it right because every time he tries to fix his typos his shaking hands betray him again.
    TK is online in an instant. Same as ten minutes ago bb
    Carlos laughs reading it, and that’s a very bad idea. All the snot and nothingness in his throat tangles together and leaves him choking.
    And yet, rereading it, he thinks it’s helped. This is a little piece of evidence of TK.

    3 times Carlos had a panic attack, and 1 time TK was there for him.

    Summary

    “I love you, Ty,” Carlos says finally, trying to breathe through the pain. “I love you, okay? If I could, I would’ve loved you forever. Don’t - don’t forget that.” 

     

    “Carlos.” TK sounds wary. “Why does that sound like goodbye?” 

     

    Carlos doesn’t want to answer that. He closes his eyes again as a tear drips down his cheek, leaving a damp trail that cuts through the dust and blood streaking his face. He’s so exhausted; he wants to sleep so fucking badly, wants to curl up in TK’s arms and forget about the pain currently riddling his entire body. He can hear TK yelling but he can’t find the words to respond, just twitches his fingers enough to pat the surface of the radio.

    Summary

    “I’ll get it out of you at the airport," TK says, throwing open the passenger door, dumping his bag at his feet, and climbing in.
    Which is when the gun comes into view.
    The gun pressed to the back of Carlos’ head. 
    And the masked man holding it.
    TK’s shoulders go up around his ears as his whole body reacts to the shock of it. “What–”
    Before he can make any rational response, there’s a cloth over his mouth. A cloth that stinks of chemicals. The hand that presses it over his face is strong and merciless, smothering him. The fumes hit his vision in an instant and he slumps into his chair, the blue fabric over his eyes dissolving into a shimmering mass that reminds him spitefully of the Spanish sea they won’t be getting to see.

    ---

    TK and Carlos are held hostage on the way to their honeymoon by a mysterious man who wants information he will get at any cost to Carlos--and which TK can't provide.

    Summary

    “Carlos? Babe, hey, what happened? What happened?” The cool hands are supporting him, turning him over to sit him down against the counter, thumbs on his sweaty temples.
    TK’s face is an incoherent blur to Carlos, skewed by the fever and the fresh pain.
    “Carlos,” TK says again, not so much a prompt as a worried exhale. Fingers press briefly against the pulse point on the underside of Carlos’ jaw.
    Even as he shudders at the comfort the touch brings him, Carlos says, “You promised you wouldn’t help.”
    Through the whirling of his vision, he notes a painful brightness in TK’s eyes.
    “Why won’t you let me look after you?” TK bursts.

    A suspiciously violent bug wipes Carlos out despite his best efforts to plough on through a twelve-hour shift. TK takes care of him.

    Summary

    This is a coda (fix-it) for episode 3.12/3.13, but not in the usual sense. I take the liberty to make some changes and rewrite the ending concerning Tarlos. I go in another direction and also take on TK's addiction. Given the latest developments concerning Carlos, as he still considers himself responsible for killing the guy after the prank call, he is seriously starting to doubt his abilities as a cop. Can TK help him avert a crisis? Slowly moving into episode 3.13. Not happy with how the writers handled Carlos' feelings and TK's reaction. COMPLETED
