    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.”

    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.'

    Summary

    "You don't need to do that" Charlie insisted, as Nick patted his pockets looking for his phone.
    "Do what?"
    "Ask for my number. I know that's not what this is"
    It couldn't be. Charlie didn't do this. He didn't give boys his number. He didn't give anything more than one night. It wasn't worth it.
    .........
    Charlie Spring is doing...ok.
    Life is complicated but there's one thing he keeps simple. He doesn't date, not after the mess of his last relationship.

    Enter Nick Nelson.

    Summary

    Getting together just days before one of them move halfway across the country would be a stupid thing to do, right? RIGHT!?

    Why, yes. Yes, it would. So how about waiting a couple of weeks before getting together - and then avoid telling your friends because they are interfering interferers who interferes? Not to mention annoying?

    Charlie’s life is suddenly a lot more complicated than it used to be. Not that he’s complaining, though, because now there’s a Nick in it…

    Summary

    Paris, 2024. The Summer Olympic Games. Thousands of athletes, each from different walks of life, united by a common objective: bring home the gold for their country.

    Charlie Spring never thought he would be performing on such a large stage, even though he's one of the fastest sprinters Team Great Britain has to offer. Now that he's made it to Paris, though, he's determined to prove to the world (and himself) that he deserves to be competing among the best of the best.

    He just can't let himself be distracted by the young star of his nation's rugby team, who befriends him after their paths cross on Charlie's first evening in the Olympic Village (and who he totally does not have a crush on).

    Summary

    There is a Year Twelve student sitting at their dining table, waiting for Charlie, a Year Eleven who hasn’t even taken his maths subject yet, to enlighten him on how to perform calculus correctly. Charlie can’t even let out the groan that’s building at the thought, because the other boy is looking at him expectantly, not taking his stupid honey-brown eyes off Charlie’s face.

    Not just any Year Twelve.

    Nicholas Nelson.

    Captain of the school rugby team.

    Friends with Harry Greene.

    Charlie had started off unenthusiastic about the “peer tutoring” but this … this is a disaster. It may be a catastrophe. Of course, of fucking course, the universe had paired him up with one of the rugby boys. The rugby boy, really.

    Could it get any worse than this?
     

    Nick hates maths. Charlie hates tutoring. They just can’t seem to get along.
