Summary
When is it really over?
Is it in that final fight when you say things you don’t mean and you look at the hurt in his eyes and hate yourself? You know there’s no coming back from the things you said but you say them anyway. You don’t know how to say what you really mean.
Or maybe it's when you see him with another guy. A guy who's so different from you, taller and broader and thicker, and ginger of all things, or strawberry blonde or whatever, dressed in a Leeds Rugby shirt, and you wonder "was he even attracted to me? Or is he even attracted to this guy? Or am I just the pathetic guy watching my ex from afar and reading way too much into little things."
or,
Sometimes healing is good days, sometimes it's just being sad, sometimes it's crying into ice cream because your ex-boyfriend moved on, and sometimes you don't recognize healing as healing.

Summary
Charlie and Nick are fine. They’re together, they’ve overcome it all, and now they’re in the happily ever after. At least that’s what Charlie tells himself. So when his back starts hurting, when something downstairs doesn’t feel right, he tells himself he’s worrying about nothing. Just the brain who cried wolf. When Nick insists that he see a doctor, however, that perfect balance gets thrown into disarray.

When did Charlie become a role model?Series

Summary
For the first decade of his life, Ben believed that his parents were in love.
After all, that’s what Mums and Dads are supposed to do, right? Be in love. They loved each other and they loved him, because that’s what Mums and Dads are supposed to do, right? Love their children.To clarify, this in no way justifies anything Ben does. It does, however, paint a picture of why he is the way he is. Might become part of a longer fic.
