    Summary

    At 28, Nick Nelson is living a life that should make him happy: he's got a good job, solid mates, and an on-again-off-again girlfriend he's known since secondary school. But for years, maybe as long as he can remember, he's felt like something was missing. Worse, he can't shake the nagging fear that he's the problem, that something might be wrong with him.

    Charlie Spring is only 27, but he's already divorced, burnt out halfway through his masters degree, and his mental health is held together by twine and prayers. The only thing that gets him out of bed most days (other than his menagerie of pets) is his work as a wildlife rehabber at the Haven. Saving those animals is his focus in life now; he can't be bothered to worry about saving himself. And after what he endured at the hands of his ex-husband Ben, he's sworn off love for good.

    ...Then Nick finds an injured duckling.

    Summary

    This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry

    Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?

    Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.

     

    Nick, 23

    Face the world again, firm and courageous.
    Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
    like floods that are past and remembered no more
    Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
    and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn

    (Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)

    I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.

    This is a story about the light.

    Summary

    AU - Charlie's friends bully him into going to London Pride on a solo adventure, encouraging him to do a pub crawl in order to find someone to hook up with.

    You'll never guess who's also on the pub crawl.

    Characters are aged up by a few years to college age, and just so happened to never have met because Nick went to St. John's specialist sports school (a top tier AU reason for these two goobers to have never met).

    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.”
