Summary
Nick Nelson is starting a new programme at a new uni and coming to terms with new realisations about himself. He plans to focus, take his time, and not get distracted.
Charlie Spring is settled – happy with his life and all he’s accomplished. He’s never had trouble resisting temptation before, so surely he can handle it when a new man enters his life.
Can either of them cope with the upheaval the other brings?
✨📖✨
A graduate school AU.

Summary
It’s not really jealousy, he thinks. He isn’t jealous that Ben got there first. It’s nothing like that. It’s the fact that Ben didn’t care, doesn’t care, about all the precious things Charlie gave him. Ben took and took from Charlie and gave nothing in return. The thought of him using Charlie, especially like that. It makes him sick. It makes him possessive. It makes him want to fall to his knees and offer himself completely.
It makes him take off his jumper and hand it to Charlie just to see his smile.
***
An exploration of how Nick and Charlie's relationship might have changed if they explored sex earlier and deeper.**

Summary
Charlie is back at it again - this time in Paris. Look, he's really gotten better about the whole Nick Nelson thing. He's *a lot* less oblivious than he used to be. But, it's hard! Especially when there's huge feelings and declarations involved. Give him a break, Isaac!

Summary
“People fall in love with their best friends,” Charlie says again. And then he scoots himself down so their eyes connect, cups Nick’s face, and leans in so close Nick can feel his breath, his heartbeat. “And maybe they hide it, because they don’t want anyone to get hurt. Or they’re scared,” Charlie says, so quietly Nick can barely hear him. “But I know you’re lonely– you’ve been lonely, Nick. Things haven’t been good with her for a while now.”
Charlie moves even closer, until their noses are touching and Nick has to close his eyes to stop Charlie’s face from going blurry. “I can treat you better than her,” Charlie whispers, hotly, like he believes it with every fibre of his being, and he’s trying to convince Nick to believe it, too. “When you’re ready,” Charlie continues, thumbs running over Nick’s cheekbones roughly, “I’m here.”
Nick is ready.

Summary
"I promise you," Nick says, "literally the only thing getting me through this last term is knowing I finally get to be with you properly once it's over."
There's a note of desperation in his voice, and Charlie thinks about Nick's unplanned visit last weekend, the anxiety that seemed to pull him taut at unexpected moments, the underlying tension he couldn't quite put words to. Maybe it really is just Nick's mounting stress as his graduation approaches: a big, scary, looming Life Event that he's struggling to wrap his head around, and the extraneous stress is just spilling out all over them both.
Charlie hates the niggling doubt in the dark recesses of his brain that whispers, but what if it's something else? What if the problem is you?
University!fic. In which they're so close to not being long distance anymore, but something's clearly bothering Nick, and Charlie would really appreciate it if he would just talk to him about it already.
