    Summary

    I'm sure this has been done before but I am suffering from such chronic writer's block when this idea popped into my head I had to run with it.
    It is based on the Saturday Guardian newspaper's 'Blind Dates' feature where two strangers go for a meal together and report back on their findings.
    Some of the answers in the fic below are plagiarised from actual 'blind dates'.
    No prizes for guessing who The Guardian has thrown together.

    Summary

    Nick is planning to spend his second year at University of Leeds the same way he spent the first one: playing rugby, going out, and sleeping with a different woman every week. But after a chance encounter on his first day back, suddenly the only plans he's interested in are the ones that involve his new friend, Charlie Spring.

    [This story is already complete, so I promise we'll get to Happily Ever After. :)]

    Summary

    Nick Nelson owns a coffee shop that just so happens to have a vacant apartment upstairs. He and his son, Finn, are finally living the peaceful life they deserve after years of tumultuous family drama.

    Charlie Spring and his daughter, Lennie, have just moved in with Charlie’s sister and her husband, Tori and Michael, hoping to finally find somewhere that feels like home.

    When Michael introduces Charlie to the owner of the coffee shop he’s started working at, Charlie finally starts to understand that home oftentimes looks less like a house with four walls, and more like a handsome dorky dad with a shy little boy just looking for a friend.

    Summary

    Nick wished.

    He hoped.

    He fucked like it was the last time he'd ever get the opportunity, perhaps because he knew even then that this would never happen again.

    In the morning, drummer boy was gone with nothing more than a note scribbled onto the hotel's memo pad.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.

    Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.

    As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.

    A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.
