    Summary

    Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he has nightmares or he can't sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I'm always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me

    Summary

    Two hot young men in their twenties meet in the French countryside, indulging in a holiday romance of a lifetime, with nothing to lose!

    But could this change their lives forever?

    Charlie Spring is at an impasse in life; he is four years out of college, in a publishing job that was going well... until they laid off half the staff, including him. Things keep getting worse until an opportunity presents itself, and he takes a chance of a lifetime.
    Landing in Toulouse a few days later, he makes his way to a small medieval town and begins to set up a dream life for himself.
    -
    Nick Nelson's world is shaken when he suffers an injury in pro rugby, which sees him laid up for months. He's fed up and frustrated at the fact that he can't find anything else in his life that's worthwhile once rugby is out of the equation.
    Following his grandmother's death a couple of years previously, he inherited her beautiful house in a small medieval town outside Toulouse. It needs a little bit of love and attention. He packs his bags and goes off to discover a side of himself he never knew existed.

    Summary

    An Absurdism/Dollyverse AU.

    What if our favourite closeted bisexual, David Nelson, hadn’t grown up into the self-assured mature adult of Absurdism – just stayed the exact same homophobic, malicious douchebro of canon – but still ran into the business end of our hero, the best snarky twenty-one-year-old bisexual brat ever, Olly Spring?

    “I just want to be around you,” Nick admits. Charlie recognises the sentiment - after all, he’s watched Nick fall in love once before.

     

    Love, like time, is a strange loop.

    Summary

    Nick is back home, working as a bouncer, and kind of addicted to the latest dating app craze, Compatibility Checker. It gives you a match percent with anyone who walks by you, making bouncer the ideal job for an enthusiast. But his percentages are always very, very low... until a certain someone arrives in the nightclub line. Has he found his perfect match, or will everything go wrong?

    (Hint: Everything goes wrong)
