    Summary

    Otis is turning 16 and invites Charlie and his friends to his birthday party at the old Scouts Hall. Charlie sends a frantic message to the friend group chat for someone to pretend to be his boyfriend to rescue him from an awkward social situation. But Elle can’t find Isaac or Tao …

    Set loosely during the ‘half-term hanging out nonstop’ era, if Nick was much more self-aware than he probably was at that point.

    CW: derogatory ableist words: these kids curse themselves in their heads a lot! I’ve used ableist insults for this.

    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.

    Summary

    The first time Nick Nelson saw Charlie Spring play the drums they were both still in 6th form. The first time Charlie watched Nick play rugby was one week later.

    After Nick left Truham in year 10 to play rugby at St. Johns Sports Academy, Nick and Charlie missed finding each other in secondary school. But, Nick followed Charlie's music career from Kent to Leeds to STARDOM. And Charlie's love of rugby generally, and one specific Rugby Lad in particular, was an old joke between his close friends. Now, after both have gained their own celebrity, they are thrown together for a charity event, with a little help from their mutual favorite meddling gay, Darcy.
