    Summary

    Nick (33) and Charlie (31) are both therapists working at a community mental health center in Nashville, Tennessee. Nick works with children as a play therapist, and Charlie works with teens. Being in different departments means they haven't really noticed one another. That is, until they are assigned seats together at a boring clinical training and disruptive laughter ensues.

    Nick is frustrated with dating as a demi bi guy, and Charlie is new to dating while sober, without the usual party scene. Nick helps Charlie discover parts of himself he wasn't even aware existed. Charlie tests Nick's perfectionism with his messy joy.

    The story of a friendship that flips its switch when they're both ready for more ❤️

    Summary

    American AU set in central Texas.

    Charlie Spring transfers to Truham High in 10th grade to get away from the bullying he faced at his old school. He makes friends with Tao, Elle, and Isaac, and almost immediately crosses paths with Nick Nelson, and there’s immediate interest between the two of them. Then he finds out that Nick is the catcher for the Truham baseball team. Thaaaaaat’s a bit of a problem.

    Charlie Spring hates baseball.

    Nick Nelson is… mostly looking forward to the start of 11th grade at Truham High. He’s popular enough, has good friends, and is the starting catcher on the varsity baseball team. But Nick is tired. No one, not even his friends, seems to see him as anything as boring old reliable Nick. Then he sees Charlie Spring, and wow. Instant crush. Except… Charlie hates him.

    Can Nick convince Charlie that baseball isn’t actually the worst sport in the world? Can Charlie maybe be the one person who sees past Nick’s façade?

    Or, the accidental Pride and Prejudice and Baseball AU, with fewer siblings and absolutely no marriage.

    Mr. Charles Spring is widely regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors of the 1820 social season, to no one's greater resentment than his own.

As he grows closer to Mr. Nelson, Mr. Spring is afflicted by anxieties both old and new, as he weighs the danger of society's condemnation against the delight of Mr. Nelson's company.
