    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

    Kit has never had sex with a man. He wants to, he just hasn’t. With his schedule he’s lucky if he gets enough time to have sex at all, really.

    Joe thinks that’s crazy. Kit doesn’t know what he’s missing. He gets it though. No time, no opportunities. The only people they see on a regular basis are each other. There lies the problem.

    Or maybe there’s no problem. Maybe there’s only an obvious solution.

    Summary

    Charlie Spring owns the only flower shop in the village — and it’s also the only truly beautiful place in the midst of rural monotony. Sensitive, sarcastic, and meticulous, he works alone, surrounded by lavender and old heartbreaks. He loves his flowers more than he loves most people.

    When Nick Nelson - a handsome, strange stranger who clearly has no idea what he's doing - buys a house on Charlie's street and opens an ill-equipped veterinary clinic, Charlie is immediately suspicious. But when Nick's bees start invading his greenhouse, damaging the flowers and driving away customers, Charlie officially starts to hate him.

    Yet as the stings pile up and the forced encounters become unavoidable, they begin to realize that beneath the next-level hostility, there’s an attraction that’s impossible to ignore.

    Summary

    “I didn’t take you for much of a rugby fan, Charlie”
    “Hmm?” Charlie responded, not following her line of thinking. His co-worker nodded her head towards the computer on his desk.
    Charlie's computer had long since come to life and his screen saver was staring back at him. It was one of his favourite pictures of Nick, standing with two of his team members, a gold medal between each man's teeth as they smiled triumphantly into the camera.
    “Maybe he’s just into Nick Nelson”

    Or
    No one at Charlie's new job knows his boyfriend is the beloved rugby player Nick Nelson, and he ends up mistaken for a fan.

    Seeing Charlie Spring is love at first sight for American rugby player Nick Nelson. Charlie is the total package, smart, funny, confident, and kind. The hang-up?

    Charlie is only attending the same university as Nick for a year before returning to his life ( and his boyfriend with whom he is 'on a break' from) back in England.

    Is a single school year of being with Charlie worth the heartache Nick will endure when Charlie leaves?

    Summary

    It was strange, really. Charlie hadn’t known Nick for long, and yet, whenever he saw Nick come into the library he felt drawn to him. He remembered the first time that he noticed Nick in the library, situated on what would become his regular couch. At first, Charlie didn’t think much of it, obviously students would make use of the library as a quiet study space, and Nick was no exception. But somewhere along the way, Charlie found himself going out of his way to sneak looks more often than not.

    Charlie couldn’t help but notice him.

    The way that his fringe would flop into his eyes as he scribbled away at his notes, or how his nose would scrunch up when he was working his way through a difficult passage of text. Or how the corner of his mouth would tilt up in a grin when he started greeting Charlie on his way in. Maybe he imagined it, but it seemed like every time Charlie responded with his own grin and quiet, “hi,” that Nick’s eyes would brighten.

    Summary

    20 year old Charlie Spring is spending the summer — as he does every year — at his parent’s villa in Southern Spain.

    Charlie's father, Julio, is a renowned linguistics professor. Each year, Professor Spring invites a promising language student to the villa to enjoy the summer and help out with his academic paperwork.

    This year’s intern — 21 year old French major Nick Nelson — is way more than Charlie bargained for.

    Apologies to André Aciman for the loose inspiration for the plot set up, taken from 'Call Me By Your Name.'

    Summary

    Once the room clears, Nick takes a deep breath. “So, half-term. How have your exams been going?”

    “Can I suck you off?”

    Charlie is patient as Nick does a double-take at his request, staggering back and knocking over a bottle of tequila. He sips his vodka lemonade and waits.

    “What, er—now?!” Nick splutters.

    “Why not?” He’s emboldened now. This loop is quickly becoming hell on earth, but maybe it doesn’t have to be, not all the time. There are no consequences for him in the loop. Anything he does is forgotten the next day. Nick could scream at him, punch him in the nose, do whatever he wants—tomorrow, he’ll still be here, serving him a vodka lemonade with a shy smile. What has he got to lose?

    “I love you,” Charlie mumbles. “I’m so glad I’m here with you. I know it’s, like, been frowned upon by my stupid parents a lot for me to come here, but I don’t care.”

    “I’m glad you’re here too.” Tenderly, Nick manoeuvres Charlie’s limbs so his arms are around Nick’s middle, then he rests their foreheads together and kisses the bridge of Charlie’s nose. “I loved uni last year, but I love you more. And, like, why wouldn’t we want to experience the best years of our lives by each other’s sides?”

    -

    Charlie finally joins Nick up in Leeds. Cue freshers' week, a little bit of drama, and a whole lot of love.
