   Summary

   In another timeline, Simon was bullied during his time at Grover Cleveland Middle School.
   Years later, after events of the past have caused him to return to the city he knows, his niece Ellie is now enrolled at the same school.
   There's no way that same Mr Grace was one of the boys who made his middle school life hell.
   And there's certainly no way that Simon would ever date that same man.

   Right?

   A Romantic AU where events of the past can come back to haunt us.
