Summary
Head Boy Charlie Spring is finishing Year 13. He has always followed the rules. Nick Nelson has spent his first year at Leeds trying very hard to be good.
They’ve become surprisingly good at long distance. Patient. Careful. Sensible. The problem is… they miss each other.
And distance has a way of making small things louder. Suggestive selfies. Late-night texts. Wanting each other in ways that are getting harder to ignore.
They’ve been good for a long time... Summer might finally test how good they really are.
---
A continuation of Part 1: By the Book about longing, jealousy, and the moment restraint starts wearing thin.
Can be read alone, but it hits harder if you were there the first time they stood on opposite sides of an assembly hall.
Or
Nick and Charlie start questioning the whole “no hanky-panky” rule.

Summary
After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.
AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
Also some angst! But always a happy ending.**Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**
