    Summary

    Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.

    He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.

    Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”

    xx

    A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

    Summary

    Nick had just found a rather delicious account about rugby training videos (seriously, how is this sport still considered straight?) when Heather puts down her phone again and looks at him.

    “Do you reckon we’d match?”

    “What?” Nick raises his eyebrows again. “You do realise that we are already together? Or do I have to slip you a piece of paper – yes, no, maybe later?”

    “Of course I do. But do we actually match? Like, would we find each other with this algorithm?”

    -
    Or, Nick is in a happy relationship – but is he as happy as he thinks? We (and he) will find out, when his girlfriend wants to use a new dating app to confirm that they're meant to be together. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    Julio Spring is divorced from Jane, has come out (if not to his children), and was in a casual relationship with Stéphane but had a previous physical relationship with David. He and David reconnected at a bathhouse and negotiate a situationship.

    This is NOT canon by any means, and this part of the Tale of Two Fourniers series looks at the Daddy/Boy dynamic prevalent in queer male/male culture and relationships. It’ll explore the challenges and unique and lovely realities of these relationships as well as some of the less hetero-normative aspects of queer culture and history.

    Don’t want to read it or find this pairing not to your taste, that’s fine. Don’t read and don’t be a twat about it.

    Summary

    Try as he might, Charlie couldn’t quite quell his nerves.

    He bit at his thumb nail, which was already bitten down more than enough. He pulled his hand away from his mouth, shaking his head slightly as he walked up to the office doors. He’d been inside the building a handful of times now, twice for interviews, and once for his orientation day, but he still checked the sign on the door, making sure he had the right address.

    He’d also looked it up on Google maps again too, just in case he somehow forgot the directions. He was well aware of how stupid it might be for him to worry so much but it was his first official full day of work, he couldn’t afford to be late because he somehow forgot what building he was going into. He was also incredibly aware he was catastrophizing but therapy also taught him it was fine to catastrophize, as long as he knew that’s what it was.

    He was fine, nothing was going to happen to him, he just had to keep that in mind.

    (Or Charlie and Nick are living together in domestic bliss, but when Charlie starts a new job and Geoff retires, he finds himself struggling to stay on track.)

    Summary

    Nick wished.

    He hoped.

    He fucked like it was the last time he'd ever get the opportunity, perhaps because he knew even then that this would never happen again.

    In the morning, drummer boy was gone with nothing more than a note scribbled onto the hotel's memo pad.

    Summary

    Charlie doesn't have anywhere to go for the holidays this year. Leaving work Christmas Eve with nothing but a quiet night in with his cats to think of, he suddenly sees a figure struggling in the snow. The decent thing is to pull over and give the guy a ride, but now he's staring at the most stunning pair of warm brown eyes and did he just get invited to dinner?

    My goal is to have this story complete before the new year! So far so good!
    ----So that didn't work. I got a little distracted, sorry not sorry. But I am very close to completing this story! Promise!

    Summary

    Charlie takes the breakdown of fees paper, eyes flicking over the numbers, the little girl tucked half-behind his leg. Then, almost under his breath:

    “Didn’t realize it’d be quite that much.”

    Nick’s heart stirs with something like guilt, or worry—a nauseating combination. “It’s a lot,” he admits. “But you don’t have to decide anything today. Just— have a look. Talk to Tara. We’ll figure something out.”

    Charlie nods again, quieter this time. His thumb traces the fold in the paper. And before Nick's even thought it through, before he’s processed a fraction of what he’s feeling, he’s standing straight and tall, and the words are already leaving his mouth:

    “Y’know, I just remembered— we’re actually waiving fees for new starters this term.”

    It’s a lie. An outright lie. Nick doesn’t even know why he says it.

    —————

    or: the nursery au where charlie shows up early on a monday morning with a toddler on his hip and fear in his eyes, and nick is the early years practitioner who notices.

    this is the first installment of “the dreamhouse.” there will be three more following this one.

    Summary

    we could call it even
    you could call me 'babe' for the weekend
    'tis the damn season, write this down
    i'm stayin' at my parents' house
    and the road not taken looks real good now
    time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
    now i'm missing your smile, hear me out
    we could just ride around
    and the road not taken looks real good now
    and it always leads to you and my hometown

    Summary

    Eighteen-year-old Charlie Spring does not live a charmed life. His factory town is dying, his parents are barely scraping by, and his older sister, Tori, is entangled in some money-making scheme that might not be legal. Charlie's own future seems to hold nothing but dead-end jobs and a slow crawl through community college.
    But for a few golden weeks each fall, life gets better—because Charlie works at Huckleberry Mountain, a cheesy old amusement park with a haunted train ride that turns his boring, rust-belt life into something almost magical. For the past two seasons, he's been the backup to Mina Parsons, the hometown sweetheart who always played the lead conductor.
    That is, until a few months ago, when Mina vanished. No one knows if she ran away or if something more sinister happened. And now everyone’s looking at her boyfriend—Nick Nelson—as the main suspect. The same Nick Nelson Charlie's been in love with since, well, forever.

    Summary

    If I could pick one thing to be pissed off with my mother about, it would be that she was right.
    Not the years of hoarding cans and slowly isolating ourselves in some wretched stone bunker.
    No, it’s the fact that she had to go and be right about the world ending.

    Or

    Nick and Charlie meet after the apocalypse.

This tradition, linked to the plant's resilience and widespread seeds, represents more than just magic; it also symbolizes endurance, transformation, freedom, and the cyclical nature of life and dreams.
