    Summary

    "Isaac," Charlie says, exasperated, "no one in the history of bad dates has ever met the love of their life at a speed dating event."

    Aged up AU: Charlie and Nick keep running into each other on a series of terrible dates (mostly with other people). Good thing they definitely don't want to date each other, right?

    Summary

    When Charlie Spring's dad gets relocated for work, Charlie and his siblings are forced to leave behind their lives in New York City and start over in a tiny town in South Carolina.

    Charlie hates it.

    He hates the heat, the smell, the lack of public transportation, the casual homophobia, and the fact that half the town seems emotionally invested in high school football.

    Then he meets Nick Nelson.

    Nick is a farm boy, a quarterback, and annoyingly nice. He's also funny, patient, ridiculously attractive, and somehow determined to drag Charlie through every small-town summer tradition imaginable.

    Charlie keeps telling himself they're just friends.

    Unfortunately, that becomes harder to believe with every passing day.

    Summary

    Most people knew this about him, most of his coworkers respected his nods or otherwise silent greetings and didn’t bother to try and converse with him.

    All except one Nicholas Nelson, of course.

    Nick was a morning, afternoon, mid-afternoon, and night person. Much to Charlie’s chagrin, Nick was a never-off-even-for-a-single-second-of-the-day type person.

    And, boy, that irritated Charlie to no end because no person should always be that cheerful and happy and full of conversation.

    (or ENEMIES TO LOVERS OMG FINALLY! Happy endings for all!)

    Summary

    Nick scrolled down to the listing, skimming over the official information provided, before reading the actual ad.

    Clean, spacious, two bedroom with attached loo, flat in Rochester. Rent includes shared utilities, which also includes internet and telly. Renter must be LGBTQ+ friendly. Looking for a renter, ASAP. Please contact [email protected] with inquiries.

    It wasn’t a whole lot of information, the listing had been up for nearly a month now and Nick wondered why. The place looked nice, had a great price and the LGBTQ+ friendly statement didn’t detour him at all.

    Feeling rather brave, he sent off an email.

    Hi, my name is Nick Nelson and I’m interested in renting your room. I know it’s last minute but I’d be available anytime tomorrow if you are. Thanks!

    Summary

    “You’re Nick and Charlie, so you’re gonna be fine.”

    Spoiler alert: - we weren’t fine. Not even close.

    Nick and I had believed we could make a long-distance relationship work. We loved each other, we were positive, and we were strong. But the distance between Truham and Leeds could have been a million miles; the journey lasted hours, train tickets took all our money, and I… well, I turned into a bitch. There’s no other word for it.

    I pushed and pushed until Nick did something terrible. Something that broke us apart. Something that sent me spinning back into a relationship with a man who’d already abused me as a boy. The scars from that terrible time – mental, physical – followed me over the following six years.

    And that’s when Nick found me again. Still playing with Queer Intentions. Directionless, miserable, still deeply scarred by the past.

    But here’s the thing… we live in the same city now. The past is another country, so they say. Can we move past what happened?

    Do I even want that?

    Can we rekindle what we had before… or does it risk sending me into another self-destructive spiral?
