    Summary

    This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry

    Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?

    Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.

     

    Nick, 23

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Face the world again, firm and courageous.
    Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
    like floods that are past and remembered no more
    Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
    and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn

    (Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)

    I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.

    This is a story about the light.

    Summary

    First Light - Between darkness and sunrise lies a glimmer of hope and the promise of a new day.

    27-year-old Nick Nelson finds himself living temporarily back at home with his mum following the end of his rugby career and his long term relationship. Needing a new focus he finds himself trawling the internet one night and discovers a mesmerising opportunity, the kind of opportunity he'd usually be quick to turn down, because that's what he's always done, stayed safe, taken the obvious path, and look where that's got him!
    Deciding to go for it, he's expecting hard work, long hours and no social life.
    What he's not expecting are a whole host of new neighbours and friends, including one who makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself.
    However, Nick is hiding a big secret. A secret that, if revealed, could drive a wedge between him, his new friends and the one person he never knew he needed in his life.
