    They might also be surprisingly good at faking too… 👀

    Summary

    Nick is planning to spend his second year at University of Leeds the same way he spent the first one: playing rugby, going out, and sleeping with a different woman every week. But after a chance encounter on his first day back, suddenly the only plans he's interested in are the ones that involve his new friend, Charlie Spring.

    [This story is already complete, so I promise we'll get to Happily Ever After. :)]

    Summary

    Try as he might, Charlie couldn’t quite quell his nerves.

    He bit at his thumb nail, which was already bitten down more than enough. He pulled his hand away from his mouth, shaking his head slightly as he walked up to the office doors. He’d been inside the building a handful of times now, twice for interviews, and once for his orientation day, but he still checked the sign on the door, making sure he had the right address.

    He’d also looked it up on Google maps again too, just in case he somehow forgot the directions. He was well aware of how stupid it might be for him to worry so much but it was his first official full day of work, he couldn’t afford to be late because he somehow forgot what building he was going into. He was also incredibly aware he was catastrophizing but therapy also taught him it was fine to catastrophize, as long as he knew that’s what it was.

    He was fine, nothing was going to happen to him, he just had to keep that in mind.

    (Or Charlie and Nick are living together in domestic bliss, but when Charlie starts a new job and Geoff retires, he finds himself struggling to stay on track.)

    Summary

    "The world is changing for your kind, including your name. Omegas are to be worshipped, like priestesses. They can be free, instead of enslaved. Omegas can do things that omicrons wouldn’t dare dream of."

    Set in Ancient Greece, this is the legend of a slave who had faith in himself and his love, and the origin story of the name omega.

    Summary

    David Nelson, 36, single for the foreseeable future, is out as bisexual at work and in life, after years of struggling with his identity (and, frankly, everything else). His world runs on rules and routines. He just needs a date to stop his boss’s borderline sexual harassment at the next work event.

    Oliver Spring, 24, proudly bisexual and emotionally allergic, sleeps around to avoid falling in love again. Working as a barista is his way of buying time before diving into real adulthood. He moves through life like a walking menace, pure chaos in motion. He just needs a date to his cousin’s wedding so his family, especially his mother, will finally leave him alone.

    What could possibly go wrong when a young barista and his regular customer agree to fake-date their way through both events?

    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

    “You should go see David Nelson.”

    “Sorry?” I say, trying very hard to keep some semblance of composure.

    “Dr Nelson? He does economic history. You should email him, set up a meeting, ask him what you should read.”

    “Oh, yes, sure! I’ll erm… I’ll send him an email when we’re done,” I say, trying to seem like the prospect isn’t far more exciting than it should be. An hour spent with the hottest faculty member in the Department? Yes, please!

    Or: Oliver Spring is a PhD student and he has a bit of a thing for Dr David Nelson. What harm could one term shadowing David’s module do? Prepare for a smut-heavy slow burn, angst, fluff and a healthy dose of academia (I understand if that's not your flavour of kink).

    Story is 80% written and 100% planned in advance. Planned posting schedule: twice a week. Chapter lengths: 2-5K words.

    Summary

    Nick gets hurt playing rugby (How original, I know) and we'll see how he struggles to heal, both physically and mentally.

    We end up with an angsty Nick, who has to deal with some of his own insecurities and issues. He doesn't need to be taken care of, it's his job to take care of others. By the end, he will end up realizing that he needs other people (mainly Charlie) as much as they need him.

    Basically, I kind of wanted to explore what it would be like if Nick was the more vulnerable or "hurt" one and Charlie gets to be the strong/badass guy we know he's gonna be some day.

    There will be angst and drama, but there will 1000% be a happy ending. These two boys deserve it.

    PS: The main story I wanted to tell is complete, but I'm not done here. I'm going to be writing various epilogue chapters, that jump ahead to various points in time, which will tie back to the main story.

    Summary

    Fifteen-year-old Nick Nelson was fine with his life. Sure, he would have preferred not to have been bullied off the football team for his bisexuality, but he was fine. Really. He had his incredible mother, his best friend, Darcy, his love for baking, and his growing collection of romance novels. He just also happened to have a heaviness hanging over him that he would always be a little broken - a little too much, but somehow never enough. He thought he was fine with that. But, when a beautiful boy with blue eyes, soft curls, and a troubling past moves into the yellow house across the street, Nick starts to find all the ways that two broken souls can mend each other.

    **I am marking this work complete at 12 chapters. I have decided that the story came to a good natural end and I am now on to my next project! 😊❤️

    Nick once again tanks a relationship by being a tiny bit too close with his best friend Charlie. He can't wait till he turns 30 and Charlie's and his long-standing marriage pact takes effect.

    But wait a minute, they're both single right now and dating is hell… Charlie is Nick's favourite person. Why the fuck would they wait?

    Summary

    “Does it make me a terrible person that I’m glad someone else is having a worse week than I am?” Charlie asked.

    “Nah,” Isaac answered. “Maybe you should message Nick and commiserate together.”

    “Oh, yeah!” Elle said happily, eyeing Charlie’s face down mobile. He grabbed it, stuffing it in his pocket to prevent her from having it. “Best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”

    (Or Charlie Spring is an actor, whose ex Ben Hope is being a massive asshole. Nick Nelson is a rugby player who just got outed. Both need a bit of a image rehab, so what else is there to do? Fake date of course.)

    Summary

    Private security cyborg, SecUnit AJDBSJSBSISBF: 8 has gone rogue and is so far, undetected.

    SecUnit AJDBSJSBSISBF: 8 – let's just call him 8 for short, alright? – has been hiding his newfound autonomy from everyone but especially his partner, the human he has been assigned to protect, Spring.

    Spring and SecUnit 8 spend their days shuttling various items from one planet to another.

    Yep, SecUnit 8, built to withstand radiation, bombs, gunfire, laserfire, being burnt and exceptional intelligence is protecting… a delivery man.

    Worse still, Spring insists on treating him like he is human and SecUnit 8... doesn’t hate it?

    Aboard Spring’s ship the Nellie, a standard mission is turned on its head and everything both cyborg and man thought they knew was thrown out the window faster than you can say, 'Sanctuary Moon is the best show ever', and these two very different creatures have to work together.

    OR

    I watched Murderbot and thought it was awesome and wanted to write a lil sci-fi fic to overcome writer’s block.

    OR

    Nick is a cyborg and Charlie is human and they start to fancy each other.

    ** Oct 25-this is on the tiniest of pauses as I finalise the ending! ** ❤️

    Summary

    The heat of the Spanish sun makes David's skin crawl. Usually, he enjoys the sun. Usually, this is the one thing he loves about these holidays — two uninterrupted weeks of sun and beach. It's not like he really gets along with his mum and baby brother, even if it isn't quite as bad as it was when he was twenty.
    Usually.
    But now — now his skin itches. He feels ill with it — all this beautiful weather and no one to share it with. And worse than that — no one to feed on. And David is starving.

     

     

    Or: David needs to feed on someone's orgasms, Olly is happy to feed David. Perhaps a little too happy.
