Summary
Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.
Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.

Summary
“Looks like Tao’s becoming more of a romantic than you.”
“No,” Nick said, looking appalled. “No. I refuse to accept that.”
“He does have better pet-name game,” Isaac observed. “...Thus far.”
They let those words sink in.
“You know what that means, Charlie?” Nick said slowly.
Charlie knew full well what it meant. “We already have pet names, though,” he pointed out. “Dork and idiot.”
“Yeah, but they’re not, like, romantic, are they?”
Nick and Charlie decide to experiment with pet names. Things get a little out of hand...

Summary
“I got another love letter,” Nick mentions offhandedly to Charlie one day when they’re eating lunch together at school.
There’s a brief pause. And then, Charlie responds. “Really?”
“Yeah.” Nick puts down his sandwich. “It just said I like you. And something about how it was weird that they did.”
Maybe it’s just a trick of the light, but Charlie’s expression seems to drop for a second. His voice is normal as usual, though, when he says this next: “I think what’s weirder is the fact they said liking you was weird.”
This is how Nick and Charlie get together: through a love letter.

Summary
When Charlie moves into a large old flat in London, he’s just looking for a quiet place to live. But the space feels too empty, too still—and strange things start to happen. The rooms hold memories, the mirrors fog over without reason, and sometimes—just sometimes—he feels like someone is watching him from the stairwell. What he doesn’t know is that Nick Nelson, a gentle 22-year-old who died there nearly a century ago, never left. Haunted by ridicule, softness, and a world that never made space for boys like him, Nick lingers in the silence—waiting for someone who might finally see him.

It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.
That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.
