    Summary

    He hasn’t heard from him in almost a year.

    Hesitant, he says, “Henry?”

    There’s a sniffle. “Alex.”

    Alex’s shoulders go taut with tension; he may not have heard from him in a year and had only seen him in tabloids and the occasional interview or ribbon cutting on a shitty stream that Alex had no business being on, but he hasn’t forgotten Henry’s tells. He hasn’t forgotten the edge to his voice on his dark days; the way it clings to the very molecules of air surrounding him, as if it wishes to seep into every ounce of air he dares breathe in.

    Alex swallows, sets his highlighter down. “Henry,” he says carefully, “what’s going on?”

    -

    Or, a year after Henry tells Alex to leave, he does something unthinkable.

    Summary

    Whatever it is Nick sees in Alex, he’s determined to see it, too. After all, it wouldn’t be fair to Nick for him to show up in Leeds and blow up his friend group over a few bad jokes.

    Still, when Alex passes Charlie on the way to the kitchen and gives his backside a stealthy pat, Charlie knows he’ll have to talk to Nick about what Alex said, and how it made him feel.

    But as long as he proves he tried with Alex, Nick won’t be upset or disappointed.

    Right?

    --

    Or: Charlie visits Nick during his first month in Leeds. Nick is struggling with starting over, and Charlie is scared of being left behind. Everything gets more complicated when Charlie develops concerns about one of Nick's new friends.

    Summary

    When Nick Nelson comes to Charlie’s house for the first time, Julio Spring is pretty sure he remembers him from somewhere. But where?

    (also, I suck at summaries. This is a window into adorable wee, 5 year old Nick Nelson, acting like a dinosaur and meeting Charlie Spring for the first time. If that’s your thing, definitely read.)

    EDIT: now with bonus art in chapter 5!!!

    Summary

    “Either way, I can guarantee none of this,” Nick gestured to himself, waving his hand up and down the length of his body, “will be seen by any Thursday Night suitors.”

    “Once again the ladies of Leeds will go to bed disappointed.” Charlie eyed Nick hungrily as he took another sip of his coffee. “Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you ever discover you’re suddenly extremely into guys, you know where I live. We’d really be perfect for each other, you know.” Charlie giggled over his mug before turning on his heel and walking back to his room.

    “Oh, motherfucker,” Charlie said, digging around in search of his phone to use as a torch, “The storm must’ve knocked the power out.”

    Nick remained silent, his heart in his throat. He tried and failed to regulate his breathing.

    “Nick?” Charlie asked, and despite the darkness, Nick knew that concern was written all over his face, “Did it knock you out too?”

    ”N-no,” Nick gritted out, his throat tight, “Sorry.”

    Summary

    A fun evening. A night club. Dancing, partying and making out with this blue eyed guy Nick couldn't take his eyes off of. Easily one of his favourite moments of the summer. But it was a one time fling, right?

    The next morning, Nick is back at his tutoring job - the kid, Oliver, can't stop bragging about his older brother, who just came back from uni. Nick doesn't pay too much attention to that. At least not until the guy enters the kitchen and...

    Oh.

    or, Nick Nelson doesn't really think he's gonna see the gorgeous stranger again any time soon. Especially not while he's giving French classes to a kid. They say destiny works in mysterious ways sometimes - that might be more accurate than one would imagine.

    Summary

    “Um, do you want to work together?” a deep voice says from behind Charlie.

    He turns around to see none other than Nick fucking Nelson standing there, looking ridiculously perfect, shuffling his feet and staring down at Charlie with a quiet, nervous air about him. Charlie doesn’t even know why Nick even joined the theatre soc; he’s already bloody rugby king and one of the most popular lads on campus. And fuck, he is such a lad. And yet here he is, asking to be Charlie’s partner for a musical warm up. Charlie doesn’t even think he’s ever heard the blonde man sing.

    Summary

    Nick clears his throat and wipes his hands on a napkin. “So Charlie, tell me about yourself.”

    “Oh god!” Charlie giggles. “Anything but that fucking question!”

    Nick joins him in his laughter. “A truly terrible question, on both dates and job interviews,” he chuckles. “I’ll try to do better. What do you do for work?”

    Charlie swallows his food, feeling his heart rate immediately increase. If Nick is going to be an ass about this, he’d rather find out sooner than later. Might as well put all his cards on the table.

    “I’m a sex worker,” Charlie replies.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is fed up. With some encouragement from his beloved mum, he decides to head to Cornwall for the summer so he can reset and hopefully even cheer himself the fuck up. There, he meets Charlie Spring; sarcastic and self-assured and a little bit lost himself. It’s amazing what six weeks, near-constant rain and a little bit of opening up can do for you.

    or

    A love letter to Cornwall, to cosiness, and to love. Hopefully.

    Summary

    20 year old Charlie Spring is spending the summer — as he does every year — at his parent’s villa in Southern Spain.

    Charlie's father, Julio, is a renowned linguistics professor. Each year, Professor Spring invites a promising language student to the villa to enjoy the summer and help out with his academic paperwork.

    This year’s intern — 21 year old French major Nick Nelson — is way more than Charlie bargained for.

    Apologies to André Aciman for the loose inspiration for the plot set up, taken from 'Call Me By Your Name.'
