    Summary

    Fifteen year old Nick and his nineteen year old brother have been on the run for about a year after escaping their abusive father and fleeing France for England. Both are guarded and capable of defending themselves, but Nick is more trusting, much to his brothers chagrin. Their situation isn't ideal, but what choice would they have when they can only lean on each other since one parent is an abusive prick and the other is believed to have abandoned them.

    Well

    Nick never truly believed that his mother willingly abandoned them. But if she didn't and they hadn't heard a whisper of her in nine years...what did happen? Certainly warrants an investigation, doesn't it? Not according to David, it doesn't.

    Summary

    “I think I want to go to the Pride mixer… and maybe not as an ally.”

    “Okay,” Charlie says softly. “Do you want to talk about it?”

     

    Nick’s still figuring things out — labels, feelings, himself.

    Charlie just wants to be there for him.

    But as university life begins, new faces and separate routines start pulling them in different directions. Between late-night mixers, new friendships, and quiet moments that still feel like home, Nick and Charlie try to hold on to what they have.

    And when Charlie offers Nick a kiss to help him experiment — purely for science, of course — the line between friendship and something more starts to blur.

    A slow-burn university AU about best friends, first times, and finding the courage to admit what you want — all unfolding during orientation week.

    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

    “I don’t need any help with english and if you do, then you’re much more of a brawn-over-brains athlete than I thought you were.”

    “I’m not brawn-over-brains or whatever you just said. I don’t need help with english either.”

    “Then how come you’re insisting on me joining you?”

    “Maybe I just want your company.” the blonde shrugged, and it’s a million shades of pathetic and sweet and curious, “Maybe I want study tips from the cute emo guy on academic scholarship.”

    Or,

    Charlie Spring intended on making the best of his first semester as a student in the international program at Greenwood Appalachian University.

    He didn’t intend on dating, though.

    But then he meets a blonde football player who can’t seem to get enough of him.

    And,

    Nick Nelson enjoyed his role as a rugby prodigy turned scouted quarterback for the Greenwood Appalachian University Mooses well enough.

    He had landed the role of Rush Chair for the Xi Chi Nu fraternity and intended on another year of partying and winning games with his mates.

    But then he meets an emo brunette who seems to be annoyed by his very existence.

    Summary

    Nick gets hurt playing rugby (How original, I know) and we'll see how he struggles to heal, both physically and mentally.

    We end up with an angsty Nick, who has to deal with some of his own insecurities and issues. He doesn't need to be taken care of, it's his job to take care of others. By the end, he will end up realizing that he needs other people (mainly Charlie) as much as they need him.

    Basically, I kind of wanted to explore what it would be like if Nick was the more vulnerable or "hurt" one and Charlie gets to be the strong/badass guy we know he's gonna be some day.

    There will be angst and drama, but there will 1000% be a happy ending. These two boys deserve it.

    PS: The main story I wanted to tell is complete, but I'm not done here. I'm going to be writing various epilogue chapters, that jump ahead to various points in time, which will tie back to the main story.

    Summary

    Ben Hope has always been a troubled soul, never quite fitting the mold of a nice guy. His path is littered with the pain of those he's hurt and the shards of hearts he's shattered. Deep down, he can't fathom why he acts this way, but the self-loathing that festers inside him is undeniable. He yearns to change, to be better, but the road to redemption seems elusive. Then, Thomas enters his life, and suddenly, the chaos in Ben's mind starts to find order. As Ben grapples with his inner demons, one question looms large: Can he finally find peace within himself and his emotions, or will Thomas become just another casualty in the wake of Ben's destructive tendencies?

    Summary

    Charlie Spring was thriving on routine, his job and the rest of his life pretty much ignored this fact.
    The only exception were his bi-weekly schedulded therapy sessions with Geoff. Treating his OCD and anorexia without any routine to it would be an admittedly pretty funny concept.

    But meeting Nicholas Nelson was going to be the ultimate killer for his routine and at the same time the biggest blessing Charlie would ever recieve, he just did not know about that yet.

    Summary

    “Look at this one - Furnished flat to rent in Victorian conversion. 2 beds 1 bath. Quiet street in Vauxhall. Available immediately. Oh wow, the rent’s really reasonable too. I wonder what the catch is?”

    “There's the catch.” Nick leaned across the table and stabbed at the paper with his index finger. He’d read that listing on the tube earlier. “Professional couples only.”

    “For fucks sake, why?!” Charlie groaned loudly, slumping back onto the cafe table in despair. “Why does this keep happening to me?!”

    “Hey now, it can’t be that bad? Don't you have any homeless friends you can pretend to be in a couple with? I'm sure someone would…. What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

    *****

    Fed up of house hunting, passing acquaintances Nick and Charlie pretend to be a couple in order to rent a flat. What could possibly go wrong?!

    Or

    Strangers to flatmates to friends to lovers

    Summary

    Few people have them. Quirks. Powers. Charlie has one, and he can’t decide if it’s the most unique thing about him or the absolute worst. Most of the time it’s just a bit irritating, if he’s honest.
    Then Charlie meets Nick. And Nick is different. Different in a way that opens new doors for Charlie. Different in a way that helps Charlie learn to appreciate himself and this quirk of his identity.

    - - -

    Welcome to the world of this (soulmates?) AU, a magical realism reimagining of S1 if it took place in a version of reality where your personality could give you superpowers, and it’s sometimes great and sometimes terrible, but Nick and Charlie fall in love in every universe.
