Summary
An Absurdism/Dollyverse AU.
What if our favourite closeted bisexual, David Nelson, hadn’t grown up into the self-assured mature adult of Absurdism – just stayed the exact same homophobic, malicious douchebro of canon – but still ran into the business end of our hero, the best snarky twenty-one-year-old bisexual brat ever, Olly Spring?

Summary
Professional dancer Charlie Spring has long been asking for a male partner on the celebrity dance show he works on. He finally gets his wish, but is told in no uncertain terms that this is just an allyship thing. So much for good representation.
Rugby player Nick Nelson learns that his manager has agreed to let one of the lads star in a celebrity dance competition with a male partner. It’s absolutely a PR stunt to quash rumours of homophobia in the league, but Nick is just excited to play this tiny part in queer TV history.
Romance is the last thing on either of their minds, but when they cross paths the night before filming is due to begin, 'something more' is bound to blossom.
tldr; this is a dance fic in name only, but it's really about the magic of queer joy and carving homes in safe places because the world sometimes sucks. Featuring crop tops and make up and healed Charlie and proud Nick and all the love in my gay lil heart.

Summary
At 25, Charlie Spring is about to be one of the youngest Congressmen elected to the House of Representatives. He's single, intelligent, and confident. Passionate about energy and the environment, he's ready to push an environmentally focused agenda in Congress.
At 28, Nick Nelson-Thibodeaux is poised to become an unexpected addition to the Democratic House Caucus, too. He's invested in reforming educational policy in the US, and ready to work with others to get it done.What they don't know is that both of them are going to end up working closely together, and neither of them will like each other very much. All the while, Nick's marriage to a wealthy Texan heiress is teetering on the brink and Charlie's on-again-off-again relationship/situationship with a Boston Brahmin heir is equally shaky.
In short...buckle up for a roller coaster ride of rivals-to-FWB-to-lovers.
*Boston Brahim = top crust of Old Money Boston.

Summary
"Oh my god, what is it, Charlie? You're blushing!"
Charlie's heartbeat speeds up, a shy smile playing on his lips. Nick's hands let go of his face, settling onto his hips instead where they begin to fumble nervously with Charlie's belt loops. Pulling slightly, Charlie leans forward to end Nick's misery and whisper into his boyfriend's ear. "I wanna try something new."
When he leans back, he watches Nick's face contorting from surprised to shocked to definitely aroused in just a few seconds. His freckly cheeks flush, while his mouth opens and closes repeatedly until he's able to get something out. "Oh my god, Charlie," he hisses, tilting his head to whisper back. "We're in the corridors. You can't say that."
"Oh," Charlie grins, "sorry."

Summary
Ever since Charlie dropped the bomb of wanting to have bareback sex with Nick during movie night at Charlie's home, there hasn't passed a day where they haven't spoken about it. It's mostly been comments like 'I can't believe we're actually gonna do this' or questions like 'Are you sure you wanna do this? Are we ready for this?'
It always ended in the same resolution, though: HELL YES! As soon as humanly possible, please.

Summary
This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry
Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?
Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.
Nick, 23
----------------------------------------------------------------
Face the world again, firm and courageous.
Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
like floods that are past and remembered no more
Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn
(Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.
This is a story about the light.

Summary
“I love you,” Charlie mumbles. “I’m so glad I’m here with you. I know it’s, like, been frowned upon by my stupid parents a lot for me to come here, but I don’t care.”
“I’m glad you’re here too.” Tenderly, Nick manoeuvres Charlie’s limbs so his arms are around Nick’s middle, then he rests their foreheads together and kisses the bridge of Charlie’s nose. “I loved uni last year, but I love you more. And, like, why wouldn’t we want to experience the best years of our lives by each other’s sides?”
-
Charlie finally joins Nick up in Leeds. Cue freshers' week, a little bit of drama, and a whole lot of love.
