    Summary

    “It’s,” he swallowed. “It’s complicated, and I don’t know how you’ll react.” 

     “Just spit it out, Nick,” Tara rolled her eyes. “Whatever it is, it can’t be that bad.” 

    “Okay.” Nick swallowed, face tightening into a grimace, as he glanced between his two friends. “I think I’m homophobic.” 

     

    Based on that one reddit post of the guy who thought he was being homophobic when his gay roommate brought home hookups, but actually, he was just jealous.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.

    Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

    Summary

    Once the room clears, Nick takes a deep breath. “So, half-term. How have your exams been going?”

    “Can I suck you off?”

    Charlie is patient as Nick does a double-take at his request, staggering back and knocking over a bottle of tequila. He sips his vodka lemonade and waits.

    “What, er—now?!” Nick splutters.

    “Why not?” He’s emboldened now. This loop is quickly becoming hell on earth, but maybe it doesn’t have to be, not all the time. There are no consequences for him in the loop. Anything he does is forgotten the next day. Nick could scream at him, punch him in the nose, do whatever he wants—tomorrow, he’ll still be here, serving him a vodka lemonade with a shy smile. What has he got to lose?

    Summary

    Nick registered legs first—long, lean, muscular. Then the rest of him. He was tall—maybe just a bit shorter than Nick—dressed in a deep navy suit that managed to hug in all the right places. His skin was light olive toned, his cheekbones were maddening, and his hair—Christ, his hair—was thick, black, and curly, like he’d just come from some effortlessly sexy shampoo commercial.

    But it was the eyes that did it.

    Nick felt his body betray him in real time. His palms went hot. His mouth went dry. Something stirred low in his belly, and fuck, he had to will his dick not to get involved. Because this was not okay. This was a work meeting. This was public. And the man hadn’t even said a word yet.

    ——-
    Welcome to the chaotic office romance, sexual tension, and awkward hilarity that’s been living rent free in my brain for months.

    After pouring my soul into the angst heavy 'Ben Hopeless', this story is pure self indulgence: think love, fluff, smut, and all the heart eyes in between. I’m not sure how many chapters it’ll end up being. I'm just following the fun wherever it leads.

    Also, I made Nick an accountant, because we are cool, thank you very much. Bad rep be damned!
