Summary
Charlie Spring endures constant and horrific bullying during Year 9 after being outed as gay. He tries to ignore it. Tries to not let it get to him. Tries to ignore all the sneers and harsh words thrown at him day in and day out. But it hurts. It gets to him. He slowly becomes more and more a shell of himself, becomes more and more angry, until one day he just snaps. He gets in an all out brawl with the guys who just won't leave him alone and winds up hitting his breaking point, having a complete mental breakdown. Everything changes that day. He's angry, pissed off, and he can't hold it in anymore. He builds a wall of defense around himself made out of violence and anger, shoving all his other emotions and personality down in order to protect himself.
Until Nick Nelson comes along and completely shatters everything he thought he knew, and forces him to start feeling again.

But as long as he proves he tried with Alex, Nick won’t be upset or disappointed.
Right?

Summary
Now, I was standing here, at the birthday party I threw for Charlie, ready to declare my feelings, wearing half of a couple’s costume, while the person wearing the other half was in another couple. I stared at my best friend in his perfect toga that revealed one perfect pec, a shimmering headpiece set perfectly into his curls, making a few tumble to his forehead, and those goddamn perfect legs on display.
Siri, play “I Hate It Here” by Taylor Swift.
Or the time Nick realized he was in love with Charlie Spring and made a plan to confess his love by throwing Charlie a surprise birthday party. Except his plan was foiled by another man...Bookmarked by debbatx

Summary
Charlie came to a stop at the light, about to tell Nick it was time to go since he was almost back to his dorms, when he suddenly jolted forward. It took him by surprise, he couldn’t help the yelp that escaped him.
Nick was immediately talking, sounding far more panicked than Charlie even felt. “You okay? Charlie? Did something happen?”
“Yes, but I’m fine, I think someone just hit my car."
“Oh my god-”
“Just a tap,” Charlie jumped in, shaking his head and taking stock of himself. Nothing hurt, he barely even moved forward, the seatbelt saved him from smacking his head on the steering wheel at least. “I’m fine, but I’ve gotta go see what’s going on. I promise I’ll call you back in a minute.”

Summary
Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.
Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

Summary
The story of Rumplestiltskin, a continuation beyond ‘The End’ and ‘happily ever after’. Where magic flows freely and flora have much more meaning than words.
“But William was in none of these places and all of them at once. He could feel the traces of his kin’s magic in the air, different from his own with a subtlety only he was bound to notice, the wicks of static drifting through dust motes and settling against the arcs of enchantments. It sent a shiver of quickness through his blood and within seconds he knew where his other half must be. He trod through the garden, trampling seedlings as he went, though they popped right back up in his wake.”
