Summary
It's the night before the first day of school. It's Nick's second year of teaching. He is nervous and can't sleep. Charlie takes care of him. *eyebrow waggle*
EXCERPT:
Over the years, Nick has learnt every part of Charlie’s mouth. His lips are always a little cool at first, but they warm up quickly. Nick loves to lick the left corner of Charlie’s mouth. For some reason, that always makes Charlie sigh quietly and Charlie’s sighs are musical.

Summary
Nick and Charlie have carefully built a routine for their busy family of five. It keeps things stable and moving forward, but is it getting in the way of their own connection?
EXCERPT:
As a primary school teacher, Nick knows better than anyone: routine is what makes everything run smoothly. Underlying structure allows for spontaneity. It keeps things standing when the unexpected happens.
Unfortunately, the recent ‘unexpected’ include: Tegan’s broken wrist, Raylan setting the curtains on fire when trying to bake, and countless curricular changes Nick’s school system keeps rolling out so he has to revamp his plans. All the bloody time.

Nick and Charlie go to Sweeney Todd by kaalee for tjs_whatnot

Summary
Nick and Charlie (in their 40s), go see Joe Locke in Sweeney Todd, because Nick is currently obsessed with how talented he is. Charlie arranges this trip as an anniversary present. They are adorably in love.
(NOTE: for this story, I'm pretending that Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is already out and that is what has fueled Nick's obsession. I could not mentally wrap my mind around Nick being obsessed with Joe as Charlie Spring in HS. It would have been too Meta for me on too little sleep.)

Summary
Five times Nick and Charlie were #parentinggoals for talking about sex and gender and consent and 1 time it carried over. Chapters will be posted every day or two, once I get over jet lag and edit and etc…
here’s the deal: freckle exists. The world is better for it. Fuck off I don’t make the rules. The collection this story is a part of is a bunch of fics and drabbles and things wot celebrate the wonder that is freckle. In a nutshell: brilliant, kind, hilarious AF, and a stellar damn writer. It would be very easy to hate them if they weren’t so freaking likeable.
Freckle is like... writer goals.
Anyway, I was going to write something sort of unhinged. But then I got talking with Yee about the importance of conversations about sex and gender and consent and etc… and how Nick and Charlie might be as parents. And now here’s my first ever 5 +1 story.
Also, I'm realizing that most of this should have been in the author's note and not in the summary... oops?
