Summary
Charlie’s fingers brushed against skin, and he nearly jumped at the jolt of electricity that ran down his arm at the contact. His eyes flew up and he felt his world turn upside down.
Warm brown eyes clashed with his. Eyes that belonged to a handsome face with a strong jaw and a scruffy beard with a hint of red in it. Dirty blonde hair sat atop his head, pushed perfectly to the side as if it didn’t need a salon’s worth of product to do so, and his neck gave way to a pair of the broadest shoulders Charlie had ever seen.
Fuck.
After his tumultuous teenage years, Charlie Spring is content leading a quiet life as an English teacher at Truham Grammar School. But when he meets the new PE teacher, Nick Nelson, Charlie's world is quickly turned upside down, and he finds he's all too willing to let it happen.

Summary
It’s hard to be left behind, to be the one who stays. To be the one who moves forward.
I keep myself busy—time moves faster that way. I go to sleep alone, wake up alone. I walk around the meadow of our home. I write day and night, endless stories of him and me, even when I wouldn’t trade ours for anything.
Except for, maybe, more time.
Everything seems simple until you start thinking too much. Why is love intensified by absence?
Long ago, men went to sea and women stayed behind, standing at the water’s edge, scanning the horizon for the ship returning. Now, I wait for him, not knowing where he is, unsure if he’s okay. At least now, men don’t have to long for other men in secret—for that, I’m grateful. When he is here, we don’t hide. We love loudly. But when he's not, when the solitude of my thoughts is my only company, the truth comes crashing down: I am always the one who waits. The moments stretch into years, eternities, seconds slow and transparent as glass. Why has he gone where I can't follow?So I wait.
Or, Nick is a time traveler who can’t control where and when he goes. When he meets Charlie, a man he has never seen before, everything Nick thought he knew changes in an instant.

Summary
“I can’t lose you,” he whispered.
Charlie froze.
“I can’t.” Nick was crying again, hot tears running down his cheeks. “If something had happened to you tonight - if I was too late-” his voice teetered off into a pained whine, physically unable to finish his sentence.
“Nick,” Charlie breathed, a heartbroken expression on his face. “You didn’t lose me.”
Nick shook his head. “But I almost did. And I can’t - I won’t go through life without you. I love you far too much to do it on my own.”
Charlie’s breath caught as he stared at Nick with wide eyes.
“I love you,” Nick repeated, his voice hardly above a whisper. It was the first time that he’d ever said it out loud. Unable to keep it a secret anymore, not when it had been so close to Nick and Charlie becoming just Nick. “And I know I’ve waited too long to say it and I've ruined everything. I don’t expect anything from you, I just - I need you to know. My life has been so much better since you’ve been in it. You’re my favourite person, Charlie.”
“How - how long?” Charlie choked out. He was looking at Nick like he had two heads. “Nick, please. How long?”

Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.

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
American AU set in central Texas.
Charlie Spring transfers to Truham High in 10th grade to get away from the bullying he faced at his old school. He makes friends with Tao, Elle, and Isaac, and almost immediately crosses paths with Nick Nelson, and there’s immediate interest between the two of them. Then he finds out that Nick is the catcher for the Truham baseball team. Thaaaaaat’s a bit of a problem.
Charlie Spring hates baseball.
Nick Nelson is… mostly looking forward to the start of 11th grade at Truham High. He’s popular enough, has good friends, and is the starting catcher on the varsity baseball team. But Nick is tired. No one, not even his friends, seems to see him as anything as boring old reliable Nick. Then he sees Charlie Spring, and wow. Instant crush. Except… Charlie hates him.
Can Nick convince Charlie that baseball isn’t actually the worst sport in the world? Can Charlie maybe be the one person who sees past Nick’s façade?
Or, the accidental Pride and Prejudice and Baseball AU, with fewer siblings and absolutely no marriage.
