thank you everyone for the tags (@reyesstrand @rmd-writes @three-drink-amy @statueinthestone @lemonlyman-dotcom and if there was someone else i'm so sorry i went back through my mentions and bamboozled myself). i wasn't gonna do this, and then i saw the potential to actually get myself back in the zone for unreleased stuff and rolled with it, so thank you!
rules (that I slightly bent): pick your 5 most recent fics and list the first and last lines, no context.
(i'm leaving (Un)Professional Services, Fifty First Dates and Cause of Action because they're currently being posted :))
“You know we’re going to a fundraiser, right?” Carlos asks, eyeing off the cinnamon doughnut and large coffee in his father’s hand as Gabriel opens the car door and settles into the passenger seat.

(2) living at the centre of a wound still fresh
Four-thirty in the morning is a peaceful time, Carlos thinks as he blinks up at the ceiling and watches the dust motes settle.

(3) all is near and can't be touched
It feels like a dream. A really bad one, actually. A nightmare, to be more specific. A very realistic, very vivid vision that clings to TK like a second skin.
Carlos hums softly and hugs him tighter. “Exactly,” he says. “For as long as we both shall live.”
(4) (Fl)oral Arrangements
“You got a key?” TK asks, trailing Carlos as he walks briskly out of the elevator and towards the loft.
TK licks his lips. "Maybe," he concedes, thinking of the sounds he can draw out of Carlos and the way they’ll echo off the shower tiles. "But I'm also right."
Bradley is twenty minutes late and he’s kind of stressed about it.
Jake sighs. “Guess not,” he replies, a little pleased sound echoing from the back of his throat as Bradley rests their foreheads together. “But that’s your reward for making an honest man out of me.”
I know this has done the rounds so consider this an open tag (please tag me if you do this!) and i'll also rope in @strandnreyes @stutteringpeach @basilsunrise @chicgeekgirl89 @goodways @ladytessa74 @bonheur-cafe @heartstringsduet @catanisspicy @beautifulhigh and @carlos-in-glasses just in case they haven't done it :)
