    Summary

    Nick’s head ducks a little and he’s clearly remembering last year, when Charlie had been outed as gay to the entire school. When a bunch of year twelve rugby lads had bullied him into an attempted suicide. But Nick had never said one bad thing about him. As a rule, Charlie stayed far away from jocks, but even though they had never spoken, Nick had never seemed to be like the rest.

    His eyes were kind.

    Summary

    What would happen if the Springs decided to uproot their lives in Kent and relocate to the other side of the world. Geraldine, New Zealand to be precise. Otherwise known as the arse end of nowhere. How will Charlie adjust to his new life, his new school and making new friends? What would happen when he meets a seemingly straight rugby boy who might just turn his whole life upside down…

    Or, an AU first meeting fic featuring first love, a slice of rural life, teenage antics, and lots and lots of swearing.

    Spoiler alert: a LOT happens in Geraldine.

    Rating is M for chapters 1-17, but changes to E down the line for some chapters, which will have warnings.

    Summary

    I wanted to write a fluffy one shot in time for Christmas Day but this happened.

    So we are having a bit of a Winter of Discontent here in the UK, with industrial action all over the place, and despite the fact I have family, jobs and an epic fic to attend to, I got a bit distracted by the idea of putting Rock Star Charlie and Student Nick into the middle of this.

    Summary

    Charlie Spring is a poet/barista, working in the local queer coffee shop with Isaac and Sahar. The owners, Nathan and Youssef also use the shop to sell queer books and art, including a small book of erotic poems by Francis Primavera. Nick has just moved into the neighborhood after ending a relationship when they realized they were going in different directions. Trying to explore his new community, Nick picks up a few things to read at the local coffee shop. He can't help noticing the cute barista, but his heart (and libido) have been captured by an author he's never met. Or so he thinks.

    Summary

    And that’s when he hears it. A delicate, gravelly, “Charlie…”

    Charlie sits up instantly. Why is Nick talking to him? What does he..

    Oh.

    Nick’s hookup’s name is Charli.

    Charlie immediately slams a pillow over his face. Now this is going to be torture.

    Roommates Nick and Charlie bring round one-night stands with each other's names.
