Bite Your Tongue On Purpose by Woodsarelovely

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.

Summary
He knows that TK’s not going to just walk this off like he’s done before. There’s going to be more days in the hospital, more hours spent worrying at his bedside over complications and long-term effects. More doubt, even, that this is where he truly belongs.
But then Carlos looks down at his hand in TK’s. And this is one of the biggest clues that things are going to be okay, eventually, because TK is still holding his back. He’s not pulling back, he’s not running, and, more importantly, he’s not slipping away from them anymore. He’s alive and whole, and he’s going to be okay.
And Carlos holds on a little tighter, just because he can.

This is Agent Strand with the Austin Animal Rescue Society. I’m at the Whole Foods on North Lamar Boulevard. It’s 92 degrees out and there’s a dog locked in an SUV in the parking lot. I’m letting you know that if I don’t see this dog’s owner in the next two minutes, I’m going to smash the window.
An AU where T.K. saves animals instead of people and Carlos is equally as smitten with him from day one.Bookmarked by darwinsfinches

Summary
Carlos made his way to the victim’s bedroom, located down a narrow corridor, across from an equally cramped bathroom. The very first thing he saw after stepping through the doorway was T.K. Strand, slumped in a chair in the corner of the room, drenched in blood.
Carlos’s knees gave out so abruptly that he had to grab for the frame to catch himself before he hit the ground. “No,” he heard himself say, in a voice that didn’t sound anything like him.
(Fifteen months after they broke up, Carlos and T.K. are thrown together again at the scene of a murder.)

Summary
Nico is used to one night stands. What he isn't used to is the way this stranger, who clearly doesn't understand the fundamental principles of ONE NIGHT, keeps bumping into him. And he definitely isn't used to the fact that he's starting to really enjoy it. Piper says it's fate, but Nico doesn't believe in fate. If he did, he would have to seriously think about what it's trying to tell him about Will Solace.

Summary
Barnes is now glaring at him for some reason. It's somewhat terrifying but also, oddly, a little reassuring— because that's emotion right there, which means there's still somebody behind those eyes. Somebody who seems to think Sam is being a bit slow on the uptake. "Time parameters exceeded. Mission failed."
"Wait." Sam narrows his eyes. "Is this some kind of... report? Debriefing?"
"Mission report," confirms Barnes, looking pleased. Well, looking slightly less murderous than before.
In which various people deal with things they never signed up for, but at the end of the day no one's particularly surprised.

Summary
Didn’t Adam Parrish deserve nice things? Didn’t Adam Parrish deserve to be pushed against the back wall of Boyd’s and be kissed like he was addictive by a boy who had the cheekbones of a model? Didn’t he deserve hands grasping at his waist with an eagerness to be held close that Adam had never known? Adam Parrish didn’t have many nice things in his life, and he wasn’t going to question this one that had happened unanticipated this one random, Saturday afternoon.

Spoilers for The Raven King.
Adam accidentally moves into the Barns.
He'd always been the one who spent the most time with Ronan at the Barns anyway; after everything that had happened, following a quiet and somber Ronan back home had seemed inevitable.
