    Summary

    Charlie Spring lives in NYC and has just earned a B.F.A., which means that he now works an office job as he tries to pursue a career in the arts. His friends/coworkers are in the same boat, all trying to carve out a living while pursuing their dreams. Things are calm until Charlie starts a secret relationship with his direct supervisor Ben. Then life starts to feel a bit more complicated. Though his friends are getting suspicious, Charlie agrees with Ben that telling everyone could risk them both their jobs (not to mention their credibility). But things with Ben are starting to affect Charlie's confidence, and he begins to wonder if he isn't just avoiding sharing because he's ashamed of the situation he's found himself in.

    Enter Nick Nelson, a new office hire. Nick has been out of undergrad for a year, and he still has no idea what to do with himself. But living in NYC is expensive, so he's bouncing around office jobs to support himself while he tries to figure out his next step. His latest job isn't particularly exciting, but it's a paycheck, and he's always loved getting to know people. But as he gets closer to his new friends, he starts to realize that he may not know himself as well as he thinks he does.

    Summary

    It was Charlie Primavera’s fourteenth birthday when everything crumbled to pieces. He was supposed to be at the best point of his entire life, but anyone who said that was completely delusional and he hated them already. He lost his parents to an accident, and his happy life in Almeria, Spain, had to be upheld as he and his sister, Victoria, had to move to live with their Aunt Wendy in England.

    With new last names, new lives and an entire new language to master, the Primavera (Or now, Spring) Siblings have to learn how live life without their parents.

    Charlie has to go to Truham Grammar and start his new life, and he meets some people he'll keep forever and some people he wishes he didn't meet at all.

    -----------------------------------------

    OR: Charlie and Tori's parents pass and they have to restart their life in England after living in Spain for their whole life, and meet some people who make that restart okay, or even better than okay.

    Summary

    It is Nick's first day at his new job as a lifeguard.

    “Who’s that?” Nicks whispers to Ben.
    “Who? Oh” Ben huffs.
    “That’s Charlie. He’s a swimming teacher. Proper weirdo though.
    I’d give him a wide berth if I were you.”
    “What? Why? He seems ok.”
    “Nick, I’m telling you. He’s just some gay nerd, not worth your time.”

    Summary

    “A loud thud catches Nick’s attention from the back of the room, near the couches delimiting the children’s corner from the romance section. There, a lanky man is standing with two thick books at his feet, having by all appearances dropped them just now. If Nick hadn’t looked at his picture ten times a day for an entire fortnight, he could have been convinced that it wasn’t Charlie Spring in front of him. But by now, he knows these curls, as thick and as dark as leather, better than he knows his own name. Yet it can’t be him, right?”

    Charlie Spring is a successful children’s book author. Nick Nelson is a primary school teacher. Charlie’s stories celebrate differences and acceptance, which makes them both kids’ and teacher’s favourites in Nick’s classroom. Hence, whenever his class takes a trip to the local library, he’s always roped into reading "The Spring Tales". What happens when Charlie shows up to one of his readings and their friends assume they’re already dating?

    Summary

    Charlie's heart ached at the thought of returning to his childhood home in Ely, Minnesota for the holidays. His mother, a woman consumed by her own religious-fueled homophobia, had made every family gathering unbearable until his graduation. Ben had always provided an excuse for Charlie to skip the painful encounters, but with Ben dead, he had no reason to avoid facing his estranged mother and the bullies that may still lurk in his hometown.

    Will Charlie be able to mend the bridges his mother had burned? Can he get through grieving his former partner in the hopes of finding new romance?

    Summary

    In a world where first touch is how people establish who their soulmates are, physical touch is not commonplace amongst most people. It’s not weird for two people to have known each other for years, and have never touched, and rarely, if ever, do people touch when they first meet.

    It’s not because people don’t want to find their soulmates, rather that it’s seen as something deeply intimate, meant to be shared only between family, close friends, and soulmates.

    So, Nick Nelson tries not to mourn the fact that he and Charlie Spring have been friends for nearly a year, and yet they haven't touched a single time.

    Aka the third installment in my Nick and Charlie soulmate AU series because they really would find each other in any universe
