    Summary

    At 25, Charlie Spring is about to be one of the youngest Congressmen elected to the House of Representatives. He's single, intelligent, and confident. Passionate about energy and the environment, he's ready to push an environmentally focused agenda in Congress.
    At 28, Nick Nelson-Thibodeaux is poised to become an unexpected addition to the Democratic House Caucus, too. He's invested in reforming educational policy in the US, and ready to work with others to get it done.

    What they don't know is that both of them are going to end up working closely together, and neither of them will like each other very much. All the while, Nick's marriage to a wealthy Texan heiress is teetering on the brink and Charlie's on-again-off-again relationship/situationship with a Boston Brahmin heir is equally shaky.

    In short...buckle up for a roller coaster ride of rivals-to-FWB-to-lovers.

    *Boston Brahim = top crust of Old Money Boston.

    Summary

    Charlie knew a fight was brewing the second he came home from Nick’s.

    He’d spent the day there, getting up early and heading over, waiting til the very last minute before he walked home. He would have spent all night there too, but his mum had been pretty adamant he’d eat dinner at home now. Ever since he’d come back home from inpatient, she was his constant food shadow, always looking over his shoulder at meal time. Truth was, he’d probably eat better if he’d had dinner at Nick’s, but right now he wasn’t allowed to do that.

    Which sucked, a lot. His mum never listened, she might be trying, but she still wasn’t actually listening to anything Charlie had to say. How was he ever truly going to get better if she wasn’t letting him challenge himself by eating not at home? Was she always going to watch him? He was lucky she didn’t follow him to school to watch him eat lunch, she trusted Nick then, didn’t she?

    (Or after a fight with his mum Charlie leaves the house angry and Nick and Tori are worried)

    Summary

    Charlie Spring is not going to get back with Nick Nelson.

    He isn’t.

    Just because he has his instagram dms open, currently sending reels back and forth, grinning ear to ear, does not mean anything is happening between them.

    Exes can be friends, it’s not a foreign concept.

    That doesn’t mean feelings are still involved.

    Right?

    or, what if nick and charlie had broken up during uni, then reconnected two years later, after both having to move back to truham under unforeseen circumstances?

    OR, the tornado warnings au!

    Summary

    Charlie has graduated from the Royal Veterinary College. Now that he’s newly graduated, he’s hoping to gain further experience at a clinic in London. A nice, clean, modern clinic where he would see a variety of small, well behaved pets.

    Instead, he finds out he is going to the Yorkshire Dales to assist a regional vet during the lambing season.

    Charlie is less than thrilled and is determined to hate it. Wouldn't you know it though-there is a ginger farmer on the local Nelson farm who finds the stubborn, grumpy vet quite intriguing.

    Summary

    Eight years after Evercove fell to a coup, its royal children are finally free.

    Princess Victoria arrives in Glenhaven ready to bury her grief beneath court lessons and war councils. Prince Oliver arrives wide-eyed and eager, having been born in a dungeon and never seen the world beyond stone walls. Prince Charles arrives silent, starving, and hollowed out by captivity, unable to leave the room he has been given.

    Their mother was executed years ago. Their father, King Julio, is still trapped beneath the palace after choosing to save his children instead of himself. And the man who stole their kingdom still calls himself Grand Monarch.

    For Prince Nicholas Nelson of Glenhaven, Charlie's return is both a miracle and a wound reopened. Before the coup, they were inseparable. Now Charlie flinches from kindness, mistrusts closed doors, and carries the shadow of Ben Hope, the Grand Monarch's son, in every silence.

    As Queen Serina prepares Victoria to reclaim Evercove's throne and Glenhaven's court turns against its own unfit heir, Nick must prove himself worthy of a crown while learning that love is not the same as rescue.

    Charlie survived the dungeon. Now he has to learn how to live outside it.

    Summary

    “What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.

    Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”

    “Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”

    “Nelson. Why?”

    “My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”

    For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?

    OR

    Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?

    Summary

    In a dystopian-adjacent London and surrounding counties, everyone was on a partial lockdown order due to a string of kidnappings turned murders with motive and suspects unknown. The twenty victims were women of varying ages, races, and sexuality. The youngest so far had been fifteen, causing schools to increase security as they inched further towards total lockdown. All girls schools like Higgs had guards escorting students from the buses.

    Charlie would rather Nick not have met him via dragging his collapsed and bleeding self to the hospital. He told himself he blushed in embarrassment when he woke to golden brows furrowed in worry. Maybe this meeting was fate. A chance for reprieve after nine months of absolute hell. Maybe...Nick can help him save whoever's left because this was now personal and inadvertently, Nick was already involved.
