Summary
Nick Nelson accepted years ago that he's meant to be submissive instead of dominant in his relationships. He likes submitting to his partners and he enjoys being in service to them. Being a pup has given him some of his favourite memories, like, ever.
When his Handler and girlfriend, Karey, brings up one of the maybe kinks from his BDSM checklist, Nick agrees to try something new and opens the door to something he's been burying for a very, very long time.

Summary
Anna Nelson and Tori Spring. At first glance, an unlikely duo. But once you get to know them, it starts making sense. Protective sisters who only want what's best for their brothers. And if Anna happens to think that would involve driving school admin to the brink of insanity to protect the boy who is her best friend's favourite person, then so be it. Let the queer chaos begin!

Twenty seven years old, and Nick Nelson is playing professional rugby. But coming out as bisexual months prior has changed his reputation, and how others, even his own teammates see him.

Summary
TEXTING FIC
Nick and Charlie have been together for years, surviving high school, coming out, and everything in between. But nothing quite prepared them for long distance.
With Charlie deep in his final year of university and Nick teaching back at Truham to stay close to his mum, their weekly visits are the one thing keeping them steady—until Charlie cancels.
It’s just one weekend. Just one message. But for Nick, already overwhelmed and quietly drowning in anxiety, it’s enough to spiral. He doesn’t want to be a burden, so he says he’s okay. But the silence between texts grows louder, and soon he's stuck inside his own head, peeling at the edges of himself.
A soft, aching look at love, mental health, and how even the strongest relationships can bend under the weight of quiet nights and loud thoughts.

Summary
Charlie is troubled. Searching for love should be one of life’s most fulfilling journeys. Unfortunately for him, it had only ever given him trust issues and anxiety. University is already challenging enough. He’s on the verge of abandoning his search due to a toxic, manipulative relationship from the past. But as anyone who believes in romance will know, one chance meeting can change everything. Charlie wants to believe in this, to hope that he will meet the man of his dreams. And maybe his unexpected friendship with a popular athlete on campus will be that chance to finally find what he’s been searching for.
Nick is over it. Classic films make Uni look like the best years of your life. Making friends, partying, and maybe finding love. Nick had been so on board at first. Now in his third year, all he wants is to graduate. Star player of the rugby team and popular, he has what most guys want, but Nick couldn’t care less. Soon he can just move on like he wants to. Start his career, maybe get another dog. But with his failing maths grade his scholarship and his future hang in the balance. When he meets his handsome tutor, everything he thinks he wants is flipped upside down.

"Mr. Spring!" Faith screams as she scrambles out of her wheelchair to run as fast as she can towards the group of staff members near the coach.
"Faith!" Nick barks, rushing after her.
But, as soon as he gets a clear view of his daughter and where she went, he freezes. Beaming with his hands in the air so people can see he'd not touching the child currently wrapped around his waist is Mr. Spring, Faith's very first one-to-one teaching assistant, and... holy shit. Nick is so fucked.

Summary
While Charlie is away, Nick checks out some books on Greek myths. He knows he's read a few for school and stuff, but it would be nice to understand a little more of what Charlie's talking about when it comes to literature. He enjoys the ones about the heroes and the cool monsters, like Heracles and Perseus. In the middle of the ones about heroes, there's a story about a poet. Nick wonders why it's there with all the demigods and monster slaying, but continues gamely.
He finds himself relating to Orpheus, falling in love so hard and so fast. He'd write Charlie poetry and songs if he had any talent at it.(Romantic poetry is definitely a no go, but he is a dab hand at a limerick.)

Tori swallowed. “What about your arm, then?”
Charlie looked down at the sling. “Rugby?”
“You haven’t played rugby in over twelve months.”
“Details!” Charlie scoffed.
Tori took a deep breath, studying her brother. This was not going to end well.

Summary
Nick is going off to university at Leeds, which is about four and a half hours away from Charlie's school, Truham. Charlie's mental health starts to spiral and drifts farther away from Nick as time goes on, while Nick is caught up with university life, but is still noticing the changes in Charlie's texts and calls. Nick needs to figure out a way to get to Charlie and make sure that he's okay, but with the start of the year and uni being incredibly stressful... it takes a while. His visits become infrequent, and eventually so does his calls, making Charlie go down a deep rabbit hole of mental health.
(The beginning is loosely based off of an old work that I deleted, Uni's a bitch, so there might be some similarities for those who remember lol)
