Summary
After a few tough years, Charlie Spring has finally hit his stride. He’s the Head Cidermaker for Appelle, where he crafts high-end European-style ciders. When Elle, his best friend and the owner of the company, hires an outside consulting company to help them keep their doors open, Charlie finds himself in his literal worst-case scenario: having to work with Nick Nelson, a finance bro with the palate of a toddler.
How long will it take Charlie to realize that there's way more to Nick than meets the eye?
OR
A heartfelt examination of what happens when you meet someone who makes you want to come out of hiding and manifest a brighter future carefully tucked into the Trojan horse of an enemies-to-lovers craft-cider AU.

Summary
After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
___Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.
___
This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

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.

101 Reasons I Hate Frat Boys by Itstmdmani

Summary
Charlie Spring doesn’t have time for frat boys. He especially doesn’t have time for Nick Nelson, who sits next to him in Environmental Science, lives across the hall, and seems to enjoy making Charlie’s life a living hell.
It’s bad enough that Charlie keeps making questionable choices with Nick’s frat brother, but now he’s stuck being Nick’s lab partner for an entire term. Which means late-night arguments, and an increasing amount of Nick invading Charlie’s space, his thoughts, and—unfortunately—his sex life.
Charlie is absolutely not into him. Nope. Not at all.
⚠️ CONTENT WARNING FOR THIS FIC ⚠️
Unhealthy coping mechanisms (alcohol, avoidance, reckless behavior)
Power plays/dominance struggles in sexual and emotional contexts
Messy, petty, and toxic relationship dynamics (that will eventually have payoff, but we’re suffering a lot first)
Aggressive physical interactions (pushing, shoving, grabbing—always within the bounds of their dynamic, but intense nonetheless)
Charlie Spring being an absolute menace to society
If you’re here for the chaotic, messy, slow-burn tension, you’re in the right place. Just know what you’re getting into.- Language:

Summary
“Yeah, so, I’m gay. That’s not going to be a problem, is it?” He asks, though there’s only one answer to the question that doesn’t end with Charlie storming out and demanding the housing office give him a new roommate.
“Oh god, no. No, that’s not—I’m sorry—I promise it’s not,” Nick races to say, clearly flustered. “I’m not homophobic, I promise. I’m sorry I made you think that. I’m an ally,” he says, holding his fist up, as if in solidarity.
or: After a last minute roommate change, Charlie Spring finds himself sharing a dorm with the hottest man he’s ever seen. Nick Nelson is kind, lovely, funny, accepting, and worst of all, straight. A fact that is unfortunately not going to stand in the way of Charlie’s ever growing feelings.

Summary
“Don’t smoke much, Rugby King?” Charlie was speaking to him. Charlie was teasing him, but he was speaking to him.
“I– uh, I guess I–” Nick struggled to put together a sentence before landing on, “I guess not.”
Charlie let out a sharp exhale through his nose, still laughing at Nick. He put the joint he was working on down to a plate on his lap and leaned back in his chair. He tilted his chin up slightly as he looked Nick up and down with a sly smirk across his face. At that moment, Nick would not have been able to tell you his own last name
/or/ bad boy!Charlie fic where Nick and Charlie meet at a party and things get a little heated.
