Summary
Nick Nelson is doing so much better. He's got a good job as the Head Carpenter at Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia, has good friends, and has navigated his way through a rough couple of years only to emerge a stronger, more self-assured, and passionate version of himself. But then he gets a message from Charlie Spring. Yeah, that Charlie Spring. His former best friend. The first person he ever loved. The person he drunkenly confessed his feelings to in a move so chaotic that Charlie hasn't spoken to him since. Can this new and improved version of Nick find a way to be friends with Charlie again without getting his heart broken for a second time?

A song that really feels like it hits the notes of this story is Ivy by Frank Ocean. Take a listen to get into the mood.

Summary
"I like to… how can I put this… I’m something of a glutton for the build up to things.”
Nick can only nod. His feet are cemented in place with his back supported by the wood of the office door. Charlie has made his way over to his desk to shrug off his tote bag before turning back to Nick.
“But you…” Charlie shakes his head. “You’re something of a trial for my historically unblemished patience, Nick.”
Or, the one where Charlie is a sex therapist and his game gets Nick giggling in his lap on the first date.

Summary
When Charlie texts what he thinks is Tao's new number, he mistakenly gets a random stranger instead. Charlie is in crisis and the stranger offers to listen. Charlie decides to take a chance and starts talking with them...
What started off as just another wrong number AU where Nick and Charlie meet in the most unlikely of ways turned into a story of finding your true self and learning to be brave enough to share it with the world.

Summary
March 2024: Nick and Charlie, platonic soulmates and partners in crime, are on the road trip of a lifetime around the beautiful and magical east coast of Australia. Charlie has barely seen his best friend since he left for uni over two years ago, and he's looking forward to catching up over three sun-soaked weeks packed full of breathtaking scenery, local wildlife, moonlit parties and seriously hot surfers.
September 2015: 13-year-old Nick Nelson has no idea who he is or where he fits in. Then 11-year-old Charlie Spring, anxious overthinker and raging introvert, crashes rather messily into his life and changes it forever.
A story about friendship, love and growing up, with a generous sprinkling of true travel stories, savage British banter and horny sparkles.
