I do plan on doing a fix-it fic but I am going to be honest. I am having two versions. Version A will pretend the car scene happened but with a different ending and Version B will follow what happened in the book
In neither of these will I say that what Can or Tin felt was dumb or wrong. like @florbexter said, they both had every right to their feelings. Tin had every right to feel hurt and upset while Can had every right to feel scared. I will include both of these feelings in both versions of the fic. Version A is not going to happy go lucky rainbows and sunshine. It will follow a similar path as the episodewith a much happier ending. But the car scene will be included in both versions and will have Tin leaving Can.
(. @weilongfu is doing a fix-it as well and I don’t know what they are writing about but I know it will be wonderful regardless and is based of an EXO song so … bonus points. I have a slight feeling that their fic will be happier than mine.)
Can is afraid that everything will change. Everything that’s been building up between him and Tin is proof. But when Can gives himself some distance to try and figure things out, he realizes just how far he and Tin have come. Their hearts beat to the same tempo, and he’s not going to let anyone mess it up. Not even himself.

“What about a sex-tape?”
“I am sorry?”
Can looked up from his phone to Tin’s confused face.
“I am thinking aloud,” he explained.
“You mentioned the word sex-tape, what are you thinking about?”
“The hashtag TinPete is trending again because you walked Ai Pete to his car yesterday.”
“I didn’t walk him to his car, we both walked to our cars.”
“Why is there no TinCan hashtag?”
“The more important question is who are those people stalking me?”, Tin said. He was puzzled over the fact that he didn’t realize some girls made photos of him.
“They are short and mean,” Can murmured.
“We’re not doing a sex-tape… wait… we could do a sex-tape but we will not show it to anyone.”
“Then what is the point?” “I will be able to watch it?” “You can watch my face anytime,” Can said and tried to remember what face he made during sex.
“If you think that is your sex-face… you are sadly mistaken.” Can put his elbow to good use and enjoyed Tin’s painful grunt.
“Don’t move,” he demanded. He laid against Tin in his giant bed and had been waiting for him to end whatever he had been doing on his Pad when he saw the hashtag on twitter. He didn’t tell Tin that he made a fake account just to follow his sister and her crazy friends.
He hadn’t told Ley about them being boyfriends because he wanted Tin for himself for a little while. His ma already invited Tin for dinner three times a week and Ley would always hog Tin like he was her personal entertainer. He didn’t like it, but he also didn’t like her spreading the rumour that Tin and Pete were a pair. He loved his sister but maybe he should tell Ae about… wait… no, he would just drag Pete away and nobody would see them for a week.
“I have a solution,” Tin said out of the blue and raised his Pad to make a selfie of them. “How would… oh.”
It was a nice photo Can admitted. Tin was shirtless and the way his hand laid on Can’s waist was visible. Can wore Tin’s shirt so the hickey on his collarbone was there for the world to see. They looked good together, cozy and warm.
“Post this on your fake account.” “I will… hey! How do you know!”
Tin just kissed his pouting lips and tapped on the Pad to indicate Can should hurry up.
The caption under the picture was a heart emoji and Can was definitely satisfied the moment he typed TinCan behind the hashtag.
His line “I will never let you go”, inspired so many fics in my head you have no idea, so thank you for prompting this. I hope the following ficlet is not too angsty 🙂
TinCan Ficlet
Can’s reaction to every fight was to yell and run. He ran out of every location they were currently in, and he didn’t care who was around them, what time it was or what he wore. He just had to get out, away from Tin. And that was the reason why Tin always hesitated for a moment, before he grabbed his keys and went after Can. What if Can didn’t want him to follow? But his determination to bring Can back and talk about their issues like adults, overshadowed every doubt he had about Can’s feelings.
He catched him a few minutes away from Tin’s apartment, kicking at imaginary dirt and, Tin had no doubt, complaining about Tin to the wind.
He halted and lowered the window of his car.
“Cantaloupe,” he said and Can groaned. He refused to look at Tin but he had stopped, so half of the battle was over.
“Come on, if you don’t want to sleep at my place I will drive you home.”
Can groaned again. “Why do you have to be so nice?”
“I’m not nice, I’m afraid of your ma.”
Can laughed and finally looked at him. Tin raised one eyebrow and Can rolled his eyes.
They were silent the whole way back to Tin’s apartment.
Sometimes their pace matched, Tin thought. But sometimes one of them pushed too far or demanded too much and all that was left was the question how they would continue.
They got ready for bed one after the other and exchanged just a ‘thank you’ when Tin handed Can one of his shirts to sleep in and Can reminded Tin to plug in his phone, because he left the charger in the living room.
Tin was never sure how to handle a silent Can.
And he wasn’t sure who moved first but they found each other in Tin’s big bed and a knot unraveled in Tin’s belly the moment Can rested his head on his chest. Can ran hot and Tin let his warmth seep into every cell of his body.
“I am sorry,” Can mumbled.
“Don’t be.”
Can sighed. “I understand why you don’t want me to meet your parents, but it doesn’t change the fact that I feel weird about you existing in every of my universes but I exist only in a few of yours.”
“Look at you knowing big boy words.”
“Asshole!”
Tin turned them so that he was hovering above Can. He brushed some strands out of Can’s face and kissed him, softly.
“They don’t deserve to know you.”
“But I deserve to know what kind of enemy I have to face.”
“Enemy?”
Can looped his arms around his neck and nodded with an earnest face.
“They will want to marry you of to a rich girl, and you have to be polite to her every time you see her, because that’s how you are. She is going to think you actually like her and will follow you everywhere. I will get very jealous and we will fight and voila, your parents have what they want without actually doing something.”
Tin had to smile.
“Your head is an amazing and scary place.” He kissed him again, little, soft kisses because Can was cute. The cutest person Tin had ever met.
“I will never let that happen,” he murmured against Can’s lips, “I will always follow you, even if you’re angry because some imaginary girl is chasing after me. I will never let you go.”
I now the following ficlet is short but I hope the affection will make up for it. I imagine a lot of those scenes in TinCan’s relationship and was happy to write it for you ❤
TinCan Ficlet
“One more,” Can murmured and Tin smiled against his lips.
Can played with some strands of his hair, and every gentle pull tingled and got a happy resonance from his body. Tin had no idea what time it was and what their plan had been for the day. He felt peaceful in a way he never had felt before. Can showered him with soft kisses, on his cheeks, his chin, his jawline, to his ears, to the hickey he had left last night. He always found his way back to Tin’s mouth parting his lips to kiss him deep until his lips felt swollen.
“I love you,” Can murmured in his skin, as if he wanted to store his feelings there. Tin got goosebumps and his whole body sighed and ached. Can’s legs were tangled with his and their shirts lay somewhere out of reach and Tin drew secret messages on Can’s back with his fingers. Can pressed himself into the caress like a lazy cat and Tin was sure that his smile would never leave his face.
Summary: Tin and Can are in an arranged marriage. They hate each other at first, but after months of getting to know each other, they become friends and Tin falls in love with Can. Little does he know Can is in love with him too.
FULL OF MUTUAL PINNING!
( for my lovely @audoldends ! sorry it took so long , i am a fucking idiot . also a new tincan fic for @dramafantasy , because you wanted one ! and for all the tincan shippers and tin stans out there, love y’all !
AePete is the main reason why LBC will always have a special place in my heart. I am fairly new to this whole BL fandom and I am not entirely sure if I’m that big of a fan of all those Thai-BL-shows which are going to be thrown our way.
But when I watch LBC I imagine LGBT+ people, maybe teenagers, maybe younger, maybe older and I am happy because they will watch
the main character saying he is gay
a coming-out scene which is so true to the actual expirience of coming out that it makes me tear up every time
the potrayal of a first love which is lovely and heartwarming
They will watch a couple falling in love, like every other couple. They will watch the developement of physical intimacy and the message, that yes of course you are worthy of love and this is how it should look like.
I sincerely hope that the positivity of AePete’s relationship will be the first of many healthy relationships and gay storylines in the Thai-BL-Fandom.
I will miss them and my other ship TinCan, but the impact of LBC will drive me to write fanfiction for a long time – that I can promise.
