    Based on a plot bunny from principledstarfish.

    Plot Bunny
    Nick and Charlie meet at a party at uni and end up having a one-night stand. Charlie walk-of-shames out the next morning but can't find one of his shoes and is so in his head that he just leaves with only one on. They didn't exchange numbers or Instagrams or even names, but Nick is so obsessed that he desperately wants to see Charlie again. Then he finds the missing converse and posts something about it on the university's classifieds page.

    Summary

    Set between chapters six and seven of The Rules We Fake. One year after the real proposal, Olly and David are no longer pretending. Over three days together, as actual fiancés with nothing left to fake, they settle into what it really means to choose each other, again.

    Okay, that summary sounds a bit dramatic. It’s not, I swear. 🤭 We’re just joining Olly and David one year later for a lot of fluff, a lot of smut… and a couple of overdue conversations.

    The fic could probably work as a standalone, but reading The Rules We Fake first will definitely offer a better experience.

    Summary

    Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.

    Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie met at St. Sebastian's University as theology students, both investigating their vocation. Nick is set on the priesthood and following the traditional version of Catholicism he grew up with. Charlie is more interested in being the social justice-focused follower of Jesus outlined in the Bible. They do not like each other, and when they are reintroduced at the university and forced to teach a theology seminar on love, vocations, and health, they clash, in more ways than one.
