Summary
Nick’s dad has always been a little off. If the religious rants and random outbursts weren’t bad enough, the growing obsession with the end of the world really is the icing on the cake. And it’s a little hard to make friends, until a random parent’s complaint lands him in a new form with a new friend.

Stéphane never left (and just how many workskins is too many workskins?)

Summary
After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.
AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
Also some angst! But always a happy ending.**Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**

Summary
Handover days aren’t exactly my favourite.
I like how things are, and I don’t like change. Change is dangerous. Change can … change things. It knocks things out of place.
I like my order.
Change usually isn’t for the better, but it’s not something I can control, so I have to cope with it.-

Summary
When Charlie moves into a large old flat in London, he’s just looking for a quiet place to live. But the space feels too empty, too still—and strange things start to happen. The rooms hold memories, the mirrors fog over without reason, and sometimes—just sometimes—he feels like someone is watching him from the stairwell. What he doesn’t know is that Nick Nelson, a gentle 22-year-old who died there nearly a century ago, never left. Haunted by ridicule, softness, and a world that never made space for boys like him, Nick lingers in the silence—waiting for someone who might finally see him.

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?

Summary
This is a continuation - part two - of the restaurant AU 25 Seats.
Nick and his mother have run an acclaimed but small restaurant, 25 Seats, for the past five years. When it began to get a bit taxing on Nick handling it all alone, his mum Sarah suggested they hire in some kitchen help, which led to them hiring inexperienced Charlie Spring. Though he's a bit hapless in the kitchen at first, Charlie quickly grew to become Nick's right-hand sous. Things were looking quite good - until Nick's father announced his intention to sell the restaurant. Now Nick has to decide what direction to go in next - and whether or not he's taking Charlie along with him.

Summary
“They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt
Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.
Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.
Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

Summary
On any other day, Nick’s first impression would probably be something along the lines of: oh, he’s cute. On that day, however, all he thought was: that’s my seat, bitch.
AKA: Nick's train gets cancelled and he's very tired.
