Summary
“And… well. I wanted to come up with a solution,” Charlie said slowly, the words clumsy on his tongue, like marbles too smooth to hold steady in his mouth. “About us.”
The silence that followed was not the sharp, dreaded kind. It was patient. A quiet that waited. Nick shifted on the couch beside him, the worn cushions sighing beneath his weight. His face softened, one eyebrow quirking gently upward. “Yeah?” he murmured, voice tinged with both curiosity and caution. “What would that be?”
Charlie inhaled—deep and shaky, the way one might before diving headfirst into freezing water—and then said it.
“We could… be friends with benefits?”
Or another uni-boys fic where Nick and Charlie try to do casual but fail miserably.

Summary
Nick Nelson is successful. He's got a fancy car, a beautiful girlfriend, and a flat in a desirable part of London. He's on his way to a highly profitable career in environmental law, and with it comes a chance to finally mend his relationship with his estranged father. But beneath the veneer of success, Nick harbours a secret that threatens to destroy the progress he's made both in his career and with his dad. He's spent years concealing his true self, carefully constructing a mask that no one can see beneath, but the arrival of a new hire at Fournier & Associates forces Nick to confront the truth about himself. When the chips are down, what will Nick choose: the life he's built, or the truth in his heart?

Summary
Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.
Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.
A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.
So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?

Summary
“You’ll never guess who I ran into,” Nick said as he pulled out of the school’s parking lot.
Tara’s voice came over the speaker of his phone, he could hear Darcy yelling something in the background. “Who?”
“Charlie Spring, remember him?”
“Bisexual panic, Charlie Spring? The boy you never once shut up about during school Charlie Spring? Please don’t tell me you stalked him out.”
“No,” Nick answered, rolling his eyes despite knowing Tara didn’t see it. “I literally ran into him at the market, he was buying cereal and I gave him my number. We’re going out for coffee tomorrow.”
“Wow, finally got your meet cute, Nelson, very proud of you.”
