Summary
“Look at this one - Furnished flat to rent in Victorian conversion. 2 beds 1 bath. Quiet street in Vauxhall. Available immediately. Oh wow, the rent’s really reasonable too. I wonder what the catch is?”
“There's the catch.” Nick leaned across the table and stabbed at the paper with his index finger. He’d read that listing on the tube earlier. “Professional couples only.”
“For fucks sake, why?!” Charlie groaned loudly, slumping back onto the cafe table in despair. “Why does this keep happening to me?!”
“Hey now, it can’t be that bad? Don't you have any homeless friends you can pretend to be in a couple with? I'm sure someone would…. What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
*****
Fed up of house hunting, passing acquaintances Nick and Charlie pretend to be a couple in order to rent a flat. What could possibly go wrong?!
Or
Strangers to flatmates to friends to lovers

Summary
31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.
Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.

Summary
On any other day, Nick’s first impression would probably be something along the lines of: oh, he’s cute. On that day, however, all he thought was: that’s my seat, bitch.
AKA: Nick's train gets cancelled and he's very tired.

Summary
Stevie Budd has never needed anyone to answer anything of importance to her. Nothing that could ever warrant an answer that would have a tangible, lasting difference in her life.
"Are we sure that this is the outfit you’re going with?" Sure. Fair game.
"Am I dating the girl I’ve constantly spent the last three weeks talking to, despite never having had feelings for a woman before?" Absolutely not. She’d frankly rather die.
OR
Stevie has a question. Patrick and David, as always, help her find the answer.

Summary
“Um,” his voice cracks and he clears his throat and tries again, “Um, Patrick can’t come into work today?”
“Oh?” Alexis asks, keeping the question carefully nonchalant which really only makes things worse. If she’s sparing his feelings then shit surely must be hitting the fan.
“Yeah.”
“Did he say why?” Again, meticulously neutral.
“No.”
Or, the morning after Grad Night goes somewhat differently when Patrick gets a call from home.

Mrs. Rose smiled, reminding him of a shark. “Do we have an agreement?”

Summary
Patrick doesn’t respond correctly - because Patrick has never once responded correctly to David being horrible. He just takes another sip of tea, and fucking smiles again.
“What?” David snaps.
“Nothing, I just-”
He stops, mouth still open, sound still somewhere in his throat. Then he laughs again. It’s quieter this time, more to himself, like he’s surprised himself with it. It’s infuriating, and it’s adorable, and David doesn’t get it.Or, five times Patrick almost said "I love you", and one time David said it first.

Summary
Whilst volunteering to help out the high school drama club, Patrick has a small revelation about marriage.

The kids huddle around, shooting David incredibly blatant glances. "Who is this?" Asks Joshie, a junior who's chalk-full of innuendo. She's eyeing David speculatively, head tilted.
"This is the guy who just brought you all pizza." Patrick leans in to peck David, a quick, cursory thing, as David gets close to him. "Guys, this is my husband, David."

Summary
“My family, um. We — they — actually own the camp?”
“Oh,” is all Patrick says, and it’s a two-letter word with two million meanings and David doesn’t know how he’s supposed to hear it when it comes out of Patrick’s mouth. “That’s, um. Wow.”
“What ‘wow’?”
“I’ve just never met anyone whose parents owned a summer camp before.”
“It’s a camp, not the diamond from Titanic.”
“The what?”

Summary
“Thank you for calling 94.1 CBC Radio, this is ‘What the Folk’, my name is Patrick and you’re on the air!” His voice sounds too loud in his headphones, and he hopes to God he’s not shouting. Shouting at his first ever on-air caller would be just his fucking luck.
“Hi, Patrick? Yes, who do I speak to about the fact that you’ve played six Lumineers songs in the last hour?”
*
Patrick is a late-night folk radio DJ, David is the owner of a car with a broken radio dial and opinions that need to be shared.
