    Summary

    “And I don’t expect you to just not defend yourself-”

    “Then what the fuck do you want from me, Nick?! I’m trying, can’t you fucking see that?” Charlie erupted again, still looking down at the sink.

    “Of course I can!” Nick responded desperately. He needed to get this back on track. Needed to calm Charlie down, needed to help him. “And you’re doing so well, but you’re going to get kicked off the team soon if you keep getting into fights! Or worse, face some sort of punishment from the school! Coach Singh has a no bullying policy and absolutely no tolerance for homophobia. You can let her handle these things!”

    “I am not going to let these homophobic dirtbags walk all over you like they did to me, Nick! You damn well fucking know that!”

    TW in beginning notes, this one gets a bit dicey folks. Beware. (Also Spanish translations)

    Summary

    Nick keeps going back to the same place, to the same silence, to the person who meant everything.

    Some visits are quiet. Some are full of tears or laughter or memories that hurt too much to say out loud.
    Time moves forward, but this place stays the same.

    A tender story about love, loss, and all the things we keep saying even when no one answers back.

    Summary

    "What does it even mean, to be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Tori asked him. "How is that different than what we already are?"
    Relationships were confusing and complicated and filled her with a deep anxiety. She didn’t understand why things had to be different.
    "I’m not proud of it,” Michael said, “but I guess I like the idea, of being yours. Like, your boyfriend. Of you being my girlfriend. Outdated and possessive? Yes. But that's the truth of it."
    Tori began to speak but stopped herself. She had been about to tell him that she already thought of him that way. He wasn't Michael. He was her Michael.
    "Will anything change?" she finally asked.
    "Like what?"
    Tori shrugged, but in the darkness her skin went pink. Couples kissed in public. Couples had dinner with each other’s families. Couples had sex.

    Summary

    “I don’t think I really have an eating disorder, if I’m honest. I haven’t really had the uhm, you know, the thoughts that people get?” The need to control everything. Nick’s never had that urge.

    “Then why are you here?”

    “Because my rugby coach said it might be good for me?”

    Dr. Walker hums, “But you don’t think you have an eating disorder?”

    “Not… really, no. My boyfriend has anorexia or– had it? He’s in recovery now but…”

    “That must have been difficult for you,” she says, breezing over the fact that Nick said boyfriend.

    “It was,” he admits, “But we made it out the other side in one piece and he’s doing a lot better now. I’ve seen up close what disordered eating behaviors look like and how the thought patterns manifest, I guess.”

    Her expression softens, “Anorexia can look different from person to person.”

    Nick doesn’t know what to say to that. He just knows his body weight is too high to get diagnosed with it.

    or

    Nick develops a severe ED his second year at uni and there isn't enough googling in the world that will fix him.

    Summary

    This is it. Senior year. Year thirteen. Charlie’s almost out, he’s going to lift his grades, spend time with his friends, and then leave Truham far, far behind him.

    One caveat: Truham’s “seniority program” means that he will be paired with an upper classman from last year’s graduating class. The better to prepare for college, etc. etc…but his partner is the ex-captain of the rugby team, possibly the laddest lad the school could possibly think of to pair with the outed gay kid.

    But there’s something quite a bit different about Nicholas Nelson.

    Summary

    "Nick, what's wrong? What's going on?" Charlie demands.

    Nick's mouth opens. He tries to speak but no words come out.

    "Nick, please! You have me so worried. What-"

    "I'm assuming you haven't spoken to your dad?"

    "No, he called me earlier but I assumed he was just... why? Why, Nick?" Charlie is now forcefully shaking Nick's hands as he searches for an answer.

    "Charlie, I'm so sorry," Nick swallows.

    "Nick! What is it?" Charlie screams.

    "Your mum, she was in an accident. She... she didn't make it, Charlie."

    After the unexpected passing of Charlie's mum, Jane, he's now left to work through the complex emotions that comes with grieving and processing the death of a parent. Especially when that relationship was considerably strained. Meanwhile, Nick is navigating through unfamiliar territory as he tries to figure out how to support Charlie in the aftermath.

    Summary

    Charlie Spring is 14 years old and has never kissed a boy.

    No big deal, right?

    Wrong. It makes him want to die.

    Can he enlist the help of his friends and scheme his way to a first kiss?

    Absolutely.

    Can he do it without casualties—emotional or otherwise?

    Only time will tell.

    Or—

    A slightly chaotic, extremely melodramatic, canon divergent fic — full of bad ideas, intense pining, and maybe (just maybe) a first kiss that doesn't totally ruin Charlie’s life.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson flies to Almeria for a planned family holiday meet up, only to find out that his dad and brother are a few days delayed. Thankfully, at Casa Primavera, they (mostly) give a warm welcome and, despite holidaying solo, Nick finds himself somewhat enamoured by it all; with Spain, with the hotel, and, most of all, with one staff member in particular.

    It’s just a shame that summer flings don’t last forever…

    Summary

    Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈

    Summary

    If I could pick one thing to be pissed off with my mother about, it would be that she was right.
    Not the years of hoarding cans and slowly isolating ourselves in some wretched stone bunker.
    No, it’s the fact that she had to go and be right about the world ending.

    Or

    Nick and Charlie meet after the apocalypse.

    Summary

    “What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.

    Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”

    “Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”

    “Nelson. Why?”

    “My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”

    For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?

    OR

    Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?
