First Date Magic by scienceisrealyo [T]

Charlie Spring hasn't gone on a date in a long time. A loooooong time. So when the handsome-yet-douchey guy from the café where he works keeps asking him out, he finally says yes. What could go wrong? (And more importantly…who else might he meet along the way?)

future mother-in-law things by elyseregan [M]

Maybe he’d witness her finally reach level 532 on Candy Crush and celebrate with her over a chocolate digestive. Maybe he’d carry on dipping biscuits into cups of tea and seeing whose disintegrated first for the next year. Maybe he’d share sly smiles and winks at Nick’s expense with the woman sporting a brown bob into the summer months, possibly even beyond. A look into Charlie & Sarah's relationship over the years.

Charlie is a first year at Leeds and keeps running into his flatmate’s friend, Nick. When he starts developing a crush, he realises it may not be as one-sided as he originally thought.

summer's in your blood by glaspen [E]

They’ve been doing this a lot this summer, too: walking around the city in the endless blue twilight, watching the setting sun bruise the sky, talking about nothing and peeking into the windows of houses in nicer areas, debating the décor. They don’t really have the money to do much else, but Charlie can’t think of anything else he’d rather be doing than just existing with Nick. A summer in Nick and Charlie’s lives. Title from True Blue, Boygenius

Meeting Stacy by PansyFace22 [T]

‘Maybe,’ Nick says, finding himself having to swallow to clear his throat. ‘Maybe I’d better put my number in your phone.’ ‘Really.’ He smiles, again, at Nick. ‘You’re on a blind date. You might need someone to come interrupt it if it all goes terribly wrong.’ ‘Oh there’s the can-do attitude I was needing …’ ‘And, I’m right here in the restaurant, already, and you know I know Darcy … so … if you have my number you could text me. To, ah …’ ‘Cause a distraction?’

My lover is sleeping. by glaspen [T]

Spring Exotic by ZookeeperHere [M]

Nick Nelson is 31 years old and has recently inherited a ferret he never wanted from his ex-boyfriend who left him to sail around the world with a "new" boyfriend just six weeks ago. He finds himself stuck not only with Ruthie the ferret, but with six more months on a lease in Rye where he never pictured himself living and knows no one. Charlie Spring is a well-known gothic horror author who has purchased an old funeral home in Rye that he is slowly and lovingly renovating. He lets his veterinarian brother move in with him and convert the old medical facility of the home into a modern small animal clinic. One random day, a concerned Nick brings his new ferret friend to the vet. As he sits in the waiting room, daydreaming as he frequently does about his long-lost crush from secondary school, he is shocked when a man that looks exactly like that crush steps out to call him back… -OR- Nick and Charlie were nothing more than friendly acquaintances back at Truham and Nick has always wished he had been brave enough back then to pursue something more. Now, over a decade after the two last spoke, fate has gifted him a second chance and he is determined to make the most of it…
