Summary
“Can't sleep?” Carlos asked.
TK shrugged his shoulders. “Not really. I was reading some stuff to distract myself and I clicked on this video that Nancy sent me and I didn’t realize I had the phone on full volume and I sort of panicked and dropped the phone on my face.” TK rubbed his nose in consolation.
Carlos’ head was still fuzzy with sleep and he was having a hard time keeping his eyes open. He blinked at TK sluggishly, trying to process the very long sentence being directed at him.
In which TK struggles with insomnia and Carlos tries to help as best as he can.

Summary
Liam could feel Theo’s heartbeat settling down, his hands thawing from the ice blocks they were before. He moved closer and raised his head to look at Liam. His eyes were dull, swirling with thoughts and emotions which Liam could only guess at. Their depths are still hidden from him, shadowed and murky and sometimes, Liam feels grateful for that and then ashamed for feeling grateful.
OR
Liam spends the day being an emotional support pillow for his traumatized and emotionally stunted boyfriend.

Summary
“Hey, man. Can I get a black coffee to go?”
“Er…” he says – a faintly bewildered expression on his face. “Yes, I imagine so.”
Turns out the guy is also British, which is like, whatever. Alex gives him one of his best smiles. “Great, thanks.”
Hot Barista glances vaguely around himself, then back to Alex. He looks simultaneously surprised and uncertain, like some kind of aggressively handsome time-traveller who’s been unexpectedly yeeted into a different century. After a beat, he says – “From me?”
“Uh yeah. You’re working here, right?”
“Well... yes?”
Alex tries very hard not to sigh.
Great. Looks like he’s dealing with one of those people who are so attractive, they’ve never had the need to develop any kind of personality beyond that of a Tupperware container of room-temperature potato salad.
Alex absolutely does not have time for whatever this shit is.***
Five times Henry serves Alex coffee and one time Alex serves Henry.
Strap in, folks. It's a coffee shop AU ...Kind of.

Summary
Agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen is an asshole.
Alex is 90% sure those exact words are going in this mission report. Yeah, they’re supposed to be objective when writing this shit up, but that isn’t his opinion. It’s a fact.
(CIA agent Alex Claremont-Diaz and MI6 agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen don’t exactly get along, but that doesn’t keep their respective agencies from insisting they work together as partners. Then a mission in Colombia changes everything, and their relationship begins to shift and grow into something that neither of them ever expected… and something that could have deadly consequences.)

Summary
"TK…" Carlos stepped a tiny bit closer but didn’t touch him. "I know you don’t want to talk about this. I know you’re upset, and I know I’m never going to fully understand it. But I’m asking anyway. How can I help? Do you want to go to a meeting?"
A sharp, mirthless chuckle escaped from TK's mouth, and it sounded terrifying even to his own ears. "That's why you came here? So you can take me to a meeting?"
"Yes." Carlos's expression never wavered. "If that's what you need."

TK experiences a bad call at work and struggles to accept Carlos's support. Set 1-2 months after 3x08.

Summary
“Man, it is halal, gluten-free, nitrate-free, because y'all are the hardest bunch of people to cook for.”
Most people, when discussing dietary restrictions with the Strands, assumed that Owen went gluten free first, and TK just followed. They'd be wrong.
Carlos’ deep dive into gluten free living happens like this.
