    Summary

    Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.

    Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson, 24, is struggling to process the massive change of direction his life has taken in such a short period of time. Money is tight and his mental health is frayed.
    His friends and family are worried about him, but he's fine, just fine. Honest.

    His best friends, Tara and Darcy, persuade him that the solution to his money worries is to rent out his spare room for 6 months. He just needs to find someone suitable.

    Charlie Spring, 22, is fed up of being walked all over by his (ex) boyfriend. He needs to move out of their shared flat ASAP if Ben is ever going to accept that they are over. He just needs to find somewhere affordable and, preferably, available immediately - not an easy feat in London. His sister suggests he should look slightly further afield. Kent sounds like a good option.

    Summary

    “Do you teach at Herne Bay?” Nick asked, curious to hear whether the man’s voice was as sharp as his cheekbones, or soft like his tight curls looked like they’d be under his fingertips.
    The man just nodded, still not looking to Nick once.

    Nick & Charlie are teachers at rival primary schools. Charlie's a bit of a bristly bastard. Nick's a hopeless simp. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff and everything in between. Buckle in, gang!
