    Summary

    “Nick,” Charlie spoke firmly, snapping Nick back to attention. His gaze was trained on Nick, a tinge of desperation seeping into his voice. “Do you not know who I am?”

    Nick hesitated a moment. He wracked his poor, throbbing brain one last time for some memory of the boy in front of him. He wished so badly that he could tell Charlie something else, anything else, and not cause him more anguish.

    “No, I'm so sorry. I don't remember you.” And then, because he couldn't seem to stop his big mouth. “Should I?”

    ***

    An AU where Nick and Charlie met and get together in uni. Nick has an accident during a rugby game that leaves him with memory issues. Charlie has to help navigate Nick's recovery while dealing with the pain of his boyfriend forgetting him.

    Summary

    Thirty two-year-old Charlie Spring has just lost his mother. Their relationship was messy, but the grief still hits him and his siblings hard. Their father takes it worst of all and moves to Spain to be near family, leaving the house to Charlie.

    Fresh out of a toxic relationship, Charlie refuses to move back into the childhood home that shaped so many of his issues. Instead, he decides to rent it out.

    Nick Nelson, newly divorced and raising his five-year-old son Julian alone, returns to his hometown for support and takes a teaching job at his old primary school. He rents a house for himself and Julian—only to discover his new landlord is Charlie, the boy he once secretly crushed on.

    Now Charlie has to decide if he can forgive Nick for ghosting him years ago, and Nick must finally explain what really happened.

    And meanwhile…who is Julian talking to in his room when no one else is there?

     

    TL;DR:
    Charlie rents out his late mother’s house, only to lease it to Nick, the childhood crush who once ghosted him. As they navigate their unresolved past, Nick’s young son begins talking to someone unseen.

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring broke up after one disastrous night — the kind of fight that leaves two people hurt, silent, and blocked on every social platform.

    They moved on.
    Or at least, they tried to.

    A decade later, both of them are adults living in London.

    Nick is a warm, steady primary school teacher.
    Charlie is a weary editor who spends his days fixing love stories he no longer believes in.

    They take the same trains.
    Cross the same streets.
    Scroll through the same dating apps.

    And somewhere in the noise of grown-up life, they both reopen Hinge — without knowing the other is there too.

    They’re older now.
    Different now.
    Strangers, almost.
    But maybe not as far apart as they think.

    Some stories don’t end.
    They just take the long way back.

    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.
