    Summary

    At 25, Charlie Spring is about to be one of the youngest Congressmen elected to the House of Representatives. He's single, intelligent, and confident. Passionate about energy and the environment, he's ready to push an environmentally focused agenda in Congress.
    At 28, Nick Nelson-Thibodeaux is poised to become an unexpected addition to the Democratic House Caucus, too. He's invested in reforming educational policy in the US, and ready to work with others to get it done.

    What they don't know is that both of them are going to end up working closely together, and neither of them will like each other very much. All the while, Nick's marriage to a wealthy Texan heiress is teetering on the brink and Charlie's on-again-off-again relationship/situationship with a Boston Brahmin heir is equally shaky.

    In short...buckle up for a roller coaster ride of rivals-to-FWB-to-lovers.

    *Boston Brahim = top crust of Old Money Boston.

    Summary

    “I understand having a hard time. You know that. I’m never going to be mad at you for struggling. I just don’t like to see you making it worse.” I shake my head to clear away the speech I’m already building to. Nick is too drunk for it right now, and I don’t know what good it could even do at his most sober. Nick doesn’t cope well with emotions. I know this. He knows this. We’ve been talking about it in circles for months now.

     

    Uni's a lot harder than Nick anticipated. Assignments. Rugby. Being away from his boyfriend. Coming out to his new flatmates. For years, he's been a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear, but if he's going to get through this next phase of his life, he's going to have to learn to accept the the help he's so used to giving.

    Summary

    The owner of one of Kent’s beloved boutique plant shops is a known bisexual disaster. The ‘For Lease’ sign in the window next door has been up for months, and Nick is dying to turn his little block into a queer destination with the assistance of the owners of the café across the street, girlfriends/meddlers Tara and Darcy.

    Charlie is excited to finally open his queer bookstore with best friend Isaac. But at the same time, he's wrestling his way out of a bad relationship, and can't quite accept the kindness that the store owner next door extends to him while he stresses over his on-again, off-again boyfriend.

    aka another AU loosely based on Alice Oseman’s minicomic Flower Shop, but add in a sprinkle of bookshop AU and a pinch of coffeeshop AU, and a whole lot of mutual pining.

    Featuring trans!Charlie because I love him.

    Summary

    There is a Year Twelve student sitting at their dining table, waiting for Charlie, a Year Eleven who hasn’t even taken his maths subject yet, to enlighten him on how to perform calculus correctly. Charlie can’t even let out the groan that’s building at the thought, because the other boy is looking at him expectantly, not taking his stupid honey-brown eyes off Charlie’s face.

    Not just any Year Twelve.

    Nicholas Nelson.

    Captain of the school rugby team.

    Friends with Harry Greene.

    Charlie had started off unenthusiastic about the “peer tutoring” but this … this is a disaster. It may be a catastrophe. Of course, of fucking course, the universe had paired him up with one of the rugby boys. The rugby boy, really.

    Could it get any worse than this?
     

    Nick hates maths. Charlie hates tutoring. They just can’t seem to get along.
