Summary
After a disastrous final year in school and a gap year to get himself back on track, Nick is in his first year of university. He's not interested in anything but getting an education, and keeping his mother from worrying herself to death. He definitely doesn't expect to meet someone who might change his mind about keeping to himself and break down his walls with deep blue eyes and a dimpled smile.

Summary
It's funny how Nick hadn't really noticed before, how it'd felt for so long like he'd had shadows; little clumps of gloominess, nestled in the folds of his life. Tucked away, hidden. In the creases of his rugby uniform and the pockets of his rucksack and throughout the camera roll on his phone. Little clusters of...of something, something Big and Bad and Shameful that needed to stay secret.
It seems insane not to have to hide them anymore. To sweep them out and let them be.
It feels like sunshine.
(OR: Nick tells Charlie about coming-out to his mum. Charlie Googles symptoms of sun stroke.)

Summary
"He’s married. It actually happened. Nick is married. To Charlie. Who is both an absolute menace and the best thing that’s ever happened to him, all rolled into one. Running through their group of friends towards the vintage Rolls Royce limousine they hired feels surreal. Charlie’s hand in his, everyone laughing and shouting congratulations at them.
Then, Darcy’s voice, the loudest of all: “Go consummate that marriage!”
Charlie gives him a smirk and a quick double-hand-squeeze that surely means ‘we are so going to consummate this marriage’ and suddenly Nick cannot get into the car fast enough."
Our favorite sappy, simpy, horny Nick Nelson finally gets Charlie alone on their wedding night, after Charlie has spent all day flustering him with sexy photos. Spoiler alert: they have sex.
Sequel to my fic The Wedding Gift
Can be read as a stand-alone. But I encourage you to read the first part if you want to get the full picture (pun intended) of Nick's eagerness.Series

Summary
“I think Charlie is the most beautiful person in the whole world.”
Charlie felt his face heat up. Sarah beamed. “I should hope so. He is your boyfriend after all.”
“What?” Nick yelped.
***
Nick is somehow even more of a sap when he's waking up from anesthesia, and he can't believe Charlie's actually his.

Summary
They’ve been doing this a lot this summer, too: walking around the city in the endless blue twilight, watching the setting sun bruise the sky, talking about nothing and peeking into the windows of houses in nicer areas, debating the décor. They don’t really have the money to do much else, but Charlie can’t think of anything else he’d rather be doing than just existing with Nick.
A summer in Nick and Charlie’s lives.

Summary
Nick’s rugby team has one extremely dumb tradition, that involves rubbing one out ‘for the badge’ before a game.
Untraditional? Sure.
Statistically proven? Just ask the boys.
No one knows if it actually works, but everyone refuses to risk not doing it.

Summary
Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.
Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.
As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.
A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.

Summary
Charlie surprises Nick at one of his rugby matches during his first semester at Leeds
———
When the game finally ends (with a Leeds victory!), I select one of the best photos I took of him today, then with shaking hands, I type out two sentences.
You look fit as fuck in that jersey. Wanna make out?
I hit send, then wait. I’m literally trembling from head to toe, beaming like an idiot.
I watch him and his teammates happily chatting and patting each other on the back. They make their way over to the sideline where they slowly start grabbing their phones and water bottles.
I watch Nick like a hawk, almost vibrating out of my skin at this point. I think I might actually die of anticipation.
He grabs his phone and water bottle, taking a long swig and then making some comment to the guy on his left, who laughs and claps him on the back. He smiles, then grabs his phone and starts walking toward the changing rooms, in the opposite direction from where I’m sitting. SERIOUSLY, Nick?! Without even looking at it?! I start to worry that he’s truly not even going to check it when I see him stop dead in his tracks.

Summary
He looks at me for a long moment, brows furrowed, and finally says, “It was Harry’s comment, wasn’t it? About sleeping with a girl at uni?”
“Umm… I dunno,” I lie. “Come on.” I head down the stairs without looking back at him, eager to get the hell out of here.
I make my way into the kitchen, where I can hear my mum cooking dinner.
“Oh, Charlie! Feeling any better?”
“Uh... I’m actually going to go to Nick’s tonight… if that’s okay.”
Mum looks thoroughly displeased. Tori appears from the front room, glancing back and forth between mum and me.
“Charlie… you know how I feel about mid-week sleepovers…”
Nick appears in the doorway, my backpack slung over his shoulder. He looks concerned again. Tori does too.
“Uh… well actually… it’s just that… I kind of need to…” Mum looks at me expectantly, her eyebrows raised. She looks irritated. “I need to use my safety plan tonight,” I quickly say. Dad also shows up out of nowhere. Great.

“Are you really jealous, Nicholas?” Charlie asks, batting his lashes cheekily. “You know he’s not real, right?”
“What? Me? Jealous?” Nick scoffs, even though he knows he is jealous. “Do you know he’s not real, Charles?”
“Oh, you’re pouting,” Charlie points out cheerily.
“I am not!”
“You are,” Charlie says with a giggle. “It’s cute.”

Summary
Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!
Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what's the harm?
An aged up AU. Our two favourite boys are at the same Uni, but don't know each other yet. Until a chance encounter on a night out that ends up changing everything.
TW for mentions of self harm, ED, past SA/NonCon - nothing too extreme I hope, but they're definitely mention as part of Charlie's story. It's mainly fluff?
