clueless (all the damn time) by thirteenick [T]
After a week and a lot of awkward attempts at starting conversation, Nick now knew a few things about said boy: his name was Charlie, he was 15, he played the drums (!!!), he was really, really smart, he was gayā¦ Andā¦ He made Nick's heart stop, in a way that only the biggest of the crushes are capable of.
But also, on the other handā¦
He barely even acknowledged Nick's existence.
or
Nick Nelson is hopelessly in love with his new form partner, Charlie Spring. The cool nerd drummer player makes his heart jump out of his chest and become incapable of starting conversation. Because there is no way Charlie could possibly like him backā¦ Right?

Title from In the Bleak Midwinter by Wolf Alice
in your own made-up language by glaspen [E]
Nick and Charlie go to different universities and hit it off immediately when they meet at a party. What happens when their paths finally cross again, nearly a year later?
Lavender Fields by scienceisrealyo [E]
31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nickās doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.
Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.
lifetimes by steelknuckles [G]
If Nick really thinks about it, Charlie reminds him of the best parts of his life. Even the ones that happened before they met.
the way you lookā¦ by kaalee [M]
Charlie wears eyeliner as part of a class assignment and Nick is not prepared for his feelings about Charlie Spring in eyeliner. Things ensueā¦
EXCERPT:
In case anyone doubts that Nick Nelson can do maths, 1 is actually the smallest whole number amount someone can be prepared to see Charlie Spring in eyeliner and a tight t-shirt without it actually being 0%.
Who Needs Luck by kingdomfaraway [G]
Charlie was about to leave when someone else came from the back, this time a tall guy, who looked like he walked straight out of Charlieās favorite type of dreams. He was broad-shouldered, with arms that would rip a branch in half, with thighs that could squash a watermelon if put to the test. He had dark blonde hair and a scruff auburn beard that made Charlie think of places heād like to experience beard burn at. He was, arguably, the most handsome man Charlie had ever laid eyes on.
Which probably meant he was straight, or an arsehole, or married, maybe to Darcy even.
The two of them started talking, not loud enough for Charlie to overhear, but after a second Darcy looked at him, followed by the guy. Charlie had to quickly look down but he was pretty sure he was just caught staring at the pair of them.
He had such shit luck sometimes.
