    Summary

    “Do you teach at Herne Bay?” Nick asked, curious to hear whether the man’s voice was as sharp as his cheekbones, or soft like his tight curls looked like they’d be under his fingertips.
    The man just nodded, still not looking to Nick once.

    Nick & Charlie are teachers at rival primary schools. Charlie's a bit of a bristly bastard. Nick's a hopeless simp. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff and everything in between. Buckle in, gang!

    Summary

    Charlie was gawking at him now, with an expression that Nick couldn’t quite seem to read. “I'm sorry, just. Did you say Nick Nelson?”

    “..Yes?”

    Charlie seemed to light up, like he’d just experienced a real life bingo. “You went to Truham for a bit in secondary school, didn’t you? And you played rugby?”

    That was the expression, unexpected familiarity. The other teacher was gazing at him like he’d seen his face before, or maybe just knew his name?

    “I did. Do you.. know me? Or are you just like, really good at this game?”

    OR, a co-created, slow burn Teacher AU that we filled with our favourite tropes.

    Summary

    Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈

    Summary

    ***A new chapter will drop approximately every day (or every other day).***

    Nicky: I like it when you wear my jacket. It looks better on you than it does me.

    Charlie: I like your jacket on me too.

    Charlie: Where are you?

    I scanned the yard, but I couldn’t spot Nick by the tree, nor could I see Joe. They might be with Kit in the cafeteria. Before I could worry any further, a voice spoke up from behind me, making me jump.

    “I’m most places.”

    I turned around so fast that I almost gave myself whiplash.

    “Oh, Jesus Christ, you scared me,” I said, pressing a hand to my rapidly beating heart.

    “Char? You can just call me Nick. I may be a lot, but calling me Jesus Christ seems a bit much. Perhaps you could call me Father, but that comes with the price of having to call me Daddy after hours,” he said with a smoothness that almost made me lose my balance.

    “I'm definitely not going to be calling you 'Daddy' in any lifetime,” I managed to say between giggles.

    Or

     

    Charlie and his family move to Castleton where he befriends Nick, Kit, & Joe as well as a huge overly affectionate and playful wolf.
