Summary
Nick Nelson is successful. He's got a fancy car, a beautiful girlfriend, and a flat in a desirable part of London. He's on his way to a highly profitable career in environmental law, and with it comes a chance to finally mend his relationship with his estranged father. But beneath the veneer of success, Nick harbours a secret that threatens to destroy the progress he's made both in his career and with his dad. He's spent years concealing his true self, carefully constructing a mask that no one can see beneath, but the arrival of a new hire at Fournier & Associates forces Nick to confront the truth about himself. When the chips are down, what will Nick choose: the life he's built, or the truth in his heart?

Summary
When Charlie boldly approaches Nick at a bar one night, he’s quickly rebuffed, but ends up hearing from Nick several days later.
Turns out, Nick is questioning a lot of things — and Charlie, in spite of having sworn off straight boys off forever, and with flagrant disregard to his better judgement, offers himself as an ‘experiment.’
Nick eagerly agrees, but he says he wants to take things slow. (This doesn’t work out for either of them.)

Summary
Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.
Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion.

It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.
That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.

Nick and Charlie are reunited after five years when Charlie moves back to Truham. Charlie is determined to correct the worst mistake of his life and get Nick back. Can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?

Summary
A doctor steps in and blocks his way. “Sir, you can’t go in there!”
“No, no, no,” says Charlie, “you don’t understand—”
“Are you family?”
“No, but—”
“Family only,” he informs him sternly, disappearing behind the glass door. The doctor joins the throng of medical personnel surrounding the man’s body, and when they wheel the gurney out of sight, Charlie staggers back from the glass wall like he’s been punched.
Shock and helplessness coalesce within him. Inexplicably, he finds himself laughing, his trembling fingers lifting to his lips to contain the mirthless giggles that spill forth. “Oh, God,” he whispers. “I was going to marry that man.”
The nurse at the desk drops her jaw. “Oh, luv.”

Summary
It was strange, really. Charlie hadn’t known Nick for long, and yet, whenever he saw Nick come into the library he felt drawn to him. He remembered the first time that he noticed Nick in the library, situated on what would become his regular couch. At first, Charlie didn’t think much of it, obviously students would make use of the library as a quiet study space, and Nick was no exception. But somewhere along the way, Charlie found himself going out of his way to sneak looks more often than not.
Charlie couldn’t help but notice him.
The way that his fringe would flop into his eyes as he scribbled away at his notes, or how his nose would scrunch up when he was working his way through a difficult passage of text. Or how the corner of his mouth would tilt up in a grin when he started greeting Charlie on his way in. Maybe he imagined it, but it seemed like every time Charlie responded with his own grin and quiet, “hi,” that Nick’s eyes would brighten.

Summary
American AU set in central Texas.
Charlie Spring transfers to Truham High in 10th grade to get away from the bullying he faced at his old school. He makes friends with Tao, Elle, and Isaac, and almost immediately crosses paths with Nick Nelson, and there’s immediate interest between the two of them. Then he finds out that Nick is the catcher for the Truham baseball team. Thaaaaaat’s a bit of a problem.
Charlie Spring hates baseball.
Nick Nelson is… mostly looking forward to the start of 11th grade at Truham High. He’s popular enough, has good friends, and is the starting catcher on the varsity baseball team. But Nick is tired. No one, not even his friends, seems to see him as anything as boring old reliable Nick. Then he sees Charlie Spring, and wow. Instant crush. Except… Charlie hates him.
Can Nick convince Charlie that baseball isn’t actually the worst sport in the world? Can Charlie maybe be the one person who sees past Nick’s façade?
Or, the accidental Pride and Prejudice and Baseball AU, with fewer siblings and absolutely no marriage.

Summary
Charlie wants his ex back. The problem is he’s in a new relationship, and this time it’s an open one.
He knows they go to swingers parties together. He wants to go too, to prove he could be into that sort of thing. It's couples only. Not ideal, but also not a problem he can't solve.
He needs to find a fake boyfriend, and fast. Enter Nick Nelson from work, serial womaniser and all-round irritating human being. He’s not Charlie’s first pick, but he’s probably the only person crazy and horny enough to go along with it. After all, it’s an opportunity for him to get laid as much as he wants while Charlie attempts to seduce his ex all over again. Win win.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
This story is all about the unlikely ways in which a line of communication can be opened between two strangers, and all the ways in which that can be a portal to something unexpected. The basic premise of this story, the meet-cute as it were, actually happened in life, the subsequent Nick and Charlie of it all is entirely fictional and arose out of my need for a sweet and fluffy story. All the locations, names, dates and details have been changed to protect the unaware and are entirely fictional.
