    Summary

    After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
    ___

    Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.

    ___

    This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
    If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.

    Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

    Summary

    Nick loves Christmas. Like, LOVES Christmas, and he wants to share the spirit of the season with everyone. His house is always extravagantly decorated, not just the usual lights and a wreath, but all out.

    His new neighbor, Charlie, is a bit of a scrooge, but if you'd spent the last 30 years doing Christmas with the Springs and Driscolls, you would be too. Living next to Christmas chaos and trying to work from home has pushed him to a breaking point.

    After Charlie takes out his frustrations on innocent decorations, how will the two find their way to a happy Christmas?

    Summary

    Charlie wants his ex back. The problem is he’s in a new relationship, and this time it’s an open one.

    He knows they go to swingers parties together. He wants to go too, to prove he could be into that sort of thing. It's couples only. Not ideal, but also not a problem he can't solve.

    He needs to find a fake boyfriend, and fast. Enter Nick Nelson from work, serial womaniser and all-round irritating human being. He’s not Charlie’s first pick, but he’s probably the only person crazy and horny enough to go along with it. After all, it’s an opportunity for him to get laid as much as he wants while Charlie attempts to seduce his ex all over again. Win win.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    “Yeah, so, I’m gay. That’s not going to be a problem, is it?” He asks, though there’s only one answer to the question that doesn’t end with Charlie storming out and demanding the housing office give him a new roommate.

    “Oh god, no. No, that’s not—I’m sorry—I promise it’s not,” Nick races to say, clearly flustered. “I’m not homophobic, I promise. I’m sorry I made you think that. I’m an ally,” he says, holding his fist up, as if in solidarity.

    or: After a last minute roommate change, Charlie Spring finds himself sharing a dorm with the hottest man he’s ever seen. Nick Nelson is kind, lovely, funny, accepting, and worst of all, straight. A fact that is unfortunately not going to stand in the way of Charlie’s ever growing feelings.
