    Summary

    Nick rested his forehead against Charlie’s, gently bumping their noses together. Charlie moved his hand between their chests and quickly snapped his fingers, his face appearing out of the darkness, cast in a flickering, golden glow. Nick glanced down in surprise to see a tiny flame dancing around in Charlie’s palm.

    “Besides Tori, you’re the only other person in this world that I trust with my life. I trust that when we’re together, that you’ll keep me safe. So far, you’ve done nothing to prove me wrong. I wanted to tell you about this, I didn’t because… the last person that found out I had magic… it didn’t end well.”

    “Your parents.” He said quietly, watching as the flame wove its way through Charlie’s fingers as they flexed. “They found out about your magic, didn’t they?”

    “Sort of,” Charlie admitted, “Mum found out that Tori had magic, and you kind of know what happened after that. But, I remember just being so upset, and everything was coming to a head, so I made her rosary explode. And then we were running.”

    It starts with a dark mop of curls sticking out of the edge of the table in the room, right in the corner where you painted a tree with your very first class of students, a couple of years ago now.

    Summary

    Buzz is building around the queer extravaganza that’s planned for this season’s run with a bisexual Bachelor - England’s own star pro-rugby player Nicholas Nelson. But what are the showmakers going to do for twelve episodes if their Bachelor and one of the newcomer contestants have fallen in love at first sight?

    ‘Would you … kiss someone, in front of the cameras?’ Charlie asks, his heart hammering louder than the music in his ears. He moves his body again, feet squeaking closer to Nick’s, his finger where it lies along Nick’s finger on the floor suddenly pressing. He hitches in a breath as he feels Nick’s pinky finger hook onto his.

    Nick looks at him, his head drifting slightly closer, then he takes a quick breath and looks away. ‘I don’t know … maybe?’ he says.

    Summary

    20 year old Charlie Spring is spending the summer — as he does every year — at his parent’s villa in Southern Spain.

    Charlie's father, Julio, is a renowned linguistics professor. Each year, Professor Spring invites a promising language student to the villa to enjoy the summer and help out with his academic paperwork.

    This year’s intern — 21 year old French major Nick Nelson — is way more than Charlie bargained for.

    Apologies to André Aciman for the loose inspiration for the plot set up, taken from 'Call Me By Your Name.'
