    Summary

    It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.

    That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.

     

    or

     

    Nick and Charlie are reunited after five years when Charlie moves back to Truham. Charlie is determined to correct the worst mistake of his life and get Nick back. Can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?

    Summary

    Nick is back home, working as a bouncer, and kind of addicted to the latest dating app craze, Compatibility Checker. It gives you a match percent with anyone who walks by you, making bouncer the ideal job for an enthusiast. But his percentages are always very, very low... until a certain someone arrives in the nightclub line. Has he found his perfect match, or will everything go wrong?

    (Hint: Everything goes wrong)

    Summary

    After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.

    AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
    Also some angst! But always a happy ending.

    **Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**

    Summary

    They said it was just casual. Temporary. A work thing.
    But some things don’t stay casual, not when the feelings never left.

    After their secret relationship fizzled out post–Season 3 filming, Kit and Joe are thousands of miles apart. Joe’s making his Broadway debut in New York. Kit’s in London, trying to figure out who he is without him. They’re older now. Busier. Careful. But neither of them ever really moved on.

    Book 3 of What We Didn’t Name follows them through sold-out shows, award ceremonies, late-night calls, and public appearances where every glance feels loaded.
    The world is watching, but it’s the private moments, the quiet confessions, the missed chances and impossible hope, that define them.

    This is the story of falling in love again. Slowly. Tenderly. Deliberately.

    Like they were always meant to.

    Summary

    Inspired by Date Me, Bryson Keller.

    Everyone knows about the bet. Each week, Nick Nelson, the Rugby King of Truham Grammar, must date someone new — the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes.

    Charlie Spring is shocked when Nick agrees to secretly date him. But as the week goes by, Charlie discovers there's more to Nick than he'd previously realized, and the fake dating starts to feel an awful lot like real dating. As he gets in deeper and deeper, can Charlie deal with the fact that this relationship will end after one week? After all, Nick is popular, handsome and straight. Right?
