Summary
When rich, arrogant Jaime Lannister swans into Brienne's dad's diner and spends the whole time making out with his rude stepsister, Brienne couldn't be more relieved that she'll probably never have to see either one of them again. The only problem is, over the next 15 years, Jaime keeps coming back.
Or: five letters that Brienne burned, and one she didn't.

Tara’s voice came over the speaker of his phone, he could hear Darcy yelling something in the background. “Who?”
“Charlie Spring, remember him?”
“Bisexual panic, Charlie Spring? The boy you never once shut up about during school Charlie Spring? Please don’t tell me you stalked him out.”
“No,” Nick answered, rolling his eyes despite knowing Tara didn’t see it. “I literally ran into him at the market, he was buying cereal and I gave him my number. We’re going out for coffee tomorrow.”

Summary
Nick didn't follow Charlie into the music block after rugby practice and their lives went in different directions. Twelve years later they meet again by chance.
Not a slow burn, more like rapid inferno. They've got lost time to make up for.
There will be discussion of Charlie's issues around food, his history of self-harm, and the occasional inconvenient side effect from taking an SSRI.For the sake of this story, I have invented a premiership team called The London Artillery. Go Cannons!

Summary
The first time Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson met, they were 3 and 4 years old respectively.
The Nelsons had just moved in next door and were settling in, when Sarah Nelson had been called to an unexpected interview for a new job and tentatively asked the lovely neighbour's family if they could possibly watch her "Nicky" for a few hours. Her older boy was already in school, but finding someone to watch the youngest on short notice had been a futile endeavour.
OR:
Nick and Charlie grow up as next door neighbours from early toddlerhood.
These snapshots will follow them through all the years as best friends until they eventually realise they're in love with each other.- Language:

Summary
“This isn’t the first time Nick has noticed Charlie Spring. It’s hard not to see him with his dark curls and fine bone structure and cool blue eyes that seem to contain uncharted depths. Nick once spent a lunch period watching Charlie scrawl in a notebook, mapping the movements of slender fingers and delicate wrists while the rest of his peers threw food at each other and kicked around a muddy football. All he wanted to know was what Charlie was writing: what held his attention so much that the rest of the world melted away?”

Nick and Charlie spend their young adulthood finding themselves and each other; circumstances force them apart and bring them back together again.

Summary
“What do you know about Nick Nelson?”
Charlie freezes, certain that he’s hallucinating. “Er, sorry?”
“Nick Nelson.” Mr. Farouk turns the screen of his desktop so Charlie can catch a glimpse of the photo he’s pulled up.
Nick Nelson stares back at him, his beaming face red and sweaty and covered in streaks of mud. He is also, most notably, hoisting up last year’s rugby league Challenge Cup trophy in his arms, balanced precariously on his team’s shoulders after an astonishing win by the Leeds Rhinos he’d undoubtedly contributed to.
Charlie begins to feel faint.
Or: In which Charlie and Nick become nothing more than acquaintances back in Truham, instead crossing paths again in their adulthood as a budding journalist tasked with writing a feature on a rising rugby star.

Summary
Chaos Theory. Noun. The study of random or unforeseeable behaviour within systems governed by deterministic laws. Consider a pinball machine: the ball's movements are bound by laws of gravitational rolling and elastic collisions - both fully understood - yet the outcome is entirely unpredictable.
Or: a boy with glittery eyes and dark, curly hair sits next to Nick in form, and then nothing is ever the same. A retelling of the story through Nick’s eyes, in which one seemingly insignificant moment sets off a chain reaction that changes everything.
