Song Fic inspired by lyrics in The 30th (Billie Eilish)
Set in Durham, a couple of years after graduating university, Nick is struggling with internalised feelings of love and attraction to his best friend which he is doing his very best to squash down. When the unthinkable happens to Charlie, these feelings unequivocally rise to the surface and Nick realises that life is too short to not love who you love.
Join us on a journey of love, friendship and self-acceptance.

Summary
Charlie focused on the man Michael was talking to, immediately drawing in a sharp breath. Tori looked up in surprise, but Charlie couldn’t pull his eyes from Michael’s conversation partner.
He was tall, almost the same height as Michael, but much broader with strong shoulders and arms that strained at the fabric that encased them. His hair was somewhere between blonde and red, artfully flopping on his head. And he had a special smile, the kind of smile that made Charlie wonder if every other smile in the world has just been trying to recreate this softness and beauty. This man was lovely; no other word felt right.
Or, Charlie’s life falls apart so he escapes to a small town up north. And he may just find a better life up there than the one he had in the big city.

Summary
Nick didn't follow Charlie into the music block after rugby practice and their lives went in different directions. Twelve years later they meet again by chance.
Not a slow burn, more like rapid inferno. They've got lost time to make up for.
There will be discussion of Charlie's issues around food, his history of self-harm, and the occasional inconvenient side effect from taking an SSRI.For the sake of this story, I have invented a premiership team called The London Artillery. Go Cannons!

Summary
Nick Nelson is fed up. With some encouragement from his beloved mum, he decides to head to Cornwall for the summer so he can reset and hopefully even cheer himself the fuck up. There, he meets Charlie Spring; sarcastic and self-assured and a little bit lost himself. It’s amazing what six weeks, near-constant rain and a little bit of opening up can do for you.
or
A love letter to Cornwall, to cosiness, and to love. Hopefully.

Summary
The first time it happens is three weeks after he’s moved in. It’s been a long fucking day, believe him. He’s in such a foul mood when he finally returns to his flat that even Nellie’s presence isn’t helping. In fact, she’s moping in the corner because he can swear she can read his emotions.
That’s when it begins. Drumming. Banging. Utter clatter from one of the lower flats.
Fucking fantastic. This is exactly what he needs to end his day. He has half a mind to go downstairs, pound on the door to the point that he may get a noise complaint, and absolutely get into it with whoever it is.
AKA The one where Nick is attempting to woo his downstairs neighbour, Charlie, who plays his drums loudly enough for Nick to hear every night.

“Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.
Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."
or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.
