    Summary

    Nick pushes hard against the restraints, his muscles aching under the strain. He cries out in desperation while his thoughts spiral in a never-ending loop of contradictions.

     

    You’re going to be ok. This can’t be happening. THIS isn’t possible. This isn’t a dream. This is a nightmare.

     

    His breath becomes shallow as he tries to calm himself, but the tightness in his chest, the overwhelming sense that the world has shrunk around him, shatters any chance of momentary comfort.

    His body has betrayed him.

    __

    Nick and Charlie’s relationship faces its biggest challenge—literally. As they adapt to their new normal, they’ll learn that the depth of their love isn’t measured in feet, but in how far they’ll go to protect each other.

    Summary

    It hits Charlie like a punch to the gut: if Nick hasn’t gotten up since they came home from the pub last night, Nick has been in bed for the past 16 hours. Sixteen hours. Sixteen. Hours. And he wasn’t even sleeping, as far as Charlie knows. The realization sends a cold wave of panic through him. This isn’t just tiredness. This is something else. Something worse.

    Or

    Charlie has just followed his boyfriend to Leeds for university, and everything is going to be perfect. That is, it was going to be perfect before Nick starts to withdraw further and further, and Charlie is forced to confront the terrifying reality that the person he loves most might be slipping away—and he doesn’t know how to fix it. With their future hanging in the balance, Charlie must navigate his own fears and insecurities while trying to be the support Nick needs.

    Summary

    All Nick wants is to go home. He hasn't been home in three years, not since an enchanting fog surrounded his hometown that doesn't let anyone in or out without madness or amnesia. But he's going home, even if he has to become a super soldier to do it. The fog has someone he needs to find.

    Charlie can't go home. He doesn't remember where home is. He doesn't remember who his parents are. All he has is his name, and he can't even say it because of a sigil over his mouth.

    Until a soldier, of all people, says his name, and all of witchcraft breaks loose.

    Summary

    At the end of the day, Nick was Charlie’s boyfriend. It was his job to make Charlie happy, to keep him happy. That was the whole point of being in a relationship. They understood each other, they helped each other, they were each other’s support. Nick was meant to be Charlie’s support. The person he could lean on and talk to when he had problems. That was his role as Charlie’s boyfriend, and he was not going to fail at it. He couldn’t fail at it. Even if he was floundering like a fish out of water trying to figure out what the hell he was doing right now, he was going to figure it out. For Charlie.

    “Niiiick!” Nick lifted his head from where it was leaning back on the donut at Sahar’s voice, seeing the girls had at some point moved closer to the shore again during his reflection.

    How long had he been just floating there thinking?

    “Come play volleyball!”

    Nick let out a breath. “Okay!”

    Summary

    In a world where the existence of Alphas and Omegas was decreasing to the point that it was no longer common to see people with a second gender other than betas. But if the was the case and alfa or omega presented in a family, they have to report it immediately so they could star medical treatment to control their personality and biology and not to create social problems.

    Life changes for Charlie Spring on his 15th birthday.
    That day he learns of something that was not supposed to happen anymore. Or at least rare for it to happen.

    He was an omega.

    Now it was a matter of following the law and suppressing his biological instinct or not to lose himself and live as the omega he is.
    He knows he will never meet his mate; he hasn't met an alpha in his area for years.

    Or was he?

    Summary

    “You sound like you want to hit him more than I do.”

    “Yeah, well, if he comes near you again and you don’t, I just might.” Nick grumbled a bit. He really wasn’t a violent person. He didn’t like hitting people. And really, he didn’t encourage Charlie to, even if he did think it was incredibly hot. But Ben Hope was absolutely the exception to that rule.

    Charlie hummed, giving him a teasing look. “Mm, yes, gotta put your new found punching skills to the test. I’ll grade you on them. Make sure you were actually paying attention.”

    “Oh, I assure you, I was.”

    Summary

    “So, my dad is having this big family get together in Paris, like some Fournier family reunion or something. And he’s invited me and I mean, I don’t want to go but I sort of have to, especially since David is going and well, I mean, as much as I hate my dad and don’t care I also can’t really disappoint him and-”

    “Nick,” Charlie said gently, reaching his hand back out and grabbing Nick’s wrist again. “Breathe, alright? You’re getting all worked up about it.”

    “Sorry,” Nick said, using the hand Charlie wasn’t holding to take a sip of his soda. “So um, not only did he invite me but he invited you.”

    “Me?” Charlie quested, his eyebrows rising high. “Why?”

    “I sort of never told him we broke up.”

    (or Nick and Charlie date in uni and break up. Except Nick doesn't tell anyone they break up and opps, now Charlie's invited to a family thing, the only solution? Fake date.)

    Summary

    “He’s just so worried, Tori. So worried. So worried.” Charlie let his head roll to the other side and back again.

    Tori swallowed. “What about your arm, then?”

    Charlie looked down at the sling. “Rugby?”

    “You haven’t played rugby in over twelve months.”

    “Details!” Charlie scoffed.

    Tori took a deep breath, studying her brother. This was not going to end well.

    ***
    Nick has been in Leeds for a month, and is struggling to manage his anxiety about being away from Charlie. So when Charlie and Tori get into an accident one afternoon, Charlie is determined to make sure Nick doesn't find out about it.

    Summary

    Charlie’s hurt badly, yes, but he doesn’t hate Nick. He understands why Nick did it. Charlie’s heart just can’t really comprehend why Nick decided to put a stop on their love - a love Charlie thought would last forever - and that’s what makes it so hard to find closure and leaves him still mourning the beautiful life they’d shared.

    Charlie had expected and hoped that Nick would message him, call him, maybe even come to his door and apologise for the mess and despair he had caused, but he was losing hope with every passing day. It had been months since their last encounter in Nick’s flat from where Charlie had stormed off in pure anger and immeasurable hurt.

    And nothing had changed since then.

    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 made sure his backpack was sealed and the hood of his jumper secured over his head before he departed the bus. He was the only one getting off at this stop and he paused under the bus stop's roof as the bus left him there. He’d hoped he would see something, anything, to jog his memory, but nothing called out to him. He was only six the last time he’d been anywhere in the area. He barely remembered what the house looked like, let alone the surrounding area. He could remember the kitchen most of all, the time spent baking his with Mum, standing in the little kitchen, an apron tied around his waist. They were probably his favorite memories of being here, the little pleasant ones he had.

    (Or Nick grows up with his Dad in Paris and when he gets kicked out, he runs away to Kent to find his mum and ends up finding Charlie along the way)
