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
“But you got me thinking last night,” says Nick. “I couldn’t stand that you thought I just wanted to throw you a—a—”
“Pity fuck?” Charlie smirks over his tea.
Nick shakes his head and digs into his own pastry. “Yes, that. You’ve been waiting all these years to meet someone who makes you feel safe and loved. And God, Charlie, you’re my best friend. Of course I want you to have that experience for your first time. So many people’s first times are utter shit. Mine was utter shit. I’d be an awful friend if I didn’t want you to have the best possible experience.”
Charlie has no idea where he’s going with this.
“So,” Nick says, a little nervous, “if you don’t want the first experience to be with me, then as your best friend, I feel it is my duty to help you find the person it will be with. If you want.”

Summary
"I think if we want to have this magical chill vibe that Darcy is so keen on we should set some boundaries. So I've got a rule. No hooking up with your housemates"
Was it Charlie's imagination or did Nick glance at him when Tao said that?
......
or
After a lonely experience at secondary school, Charlie is hoping to find a fresh start at uni. What he hadn't banked on was falling hard and fast for one of his housemates. Even if Nick somehow likes him back, is being together worth the risk of possibly messing up the dynamic of their new friend group? Living with a crush is one thing, but actually getting the chance to be with them? Another story.
University AU where the whole gang is randomly assigned as housemates at uni.- Language:

nine days, seven moments by gluships for ihavetoomuchfreetime

Summary
Finding something — or someone — else to blame has become second nature to Charlie at this point, and he’s very proud of it, thank you very much. Society, Harry Greene, his secondary school teachers who didn’t care about bullying as long as he got good marks, his university lecturers with their classist view of literature, the BBC, gender roles, Freud, his mother, the U.S., London public transport on rainy days (every day), The Sun, the royal family and, best of all, Nick’s heterosexuality.
But no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't quite figure out why Donald Trump in the fucking White House or the Tories in Parliament would want to conspire against him — aside from homophobia, obviously.
So, when it comes down to it, the only person Charlie can blame for his current situation is himself, his stupidity, and nothing else.
-
or, Nick visits Charlie after many months apart. Nine days and seven moments to reconnect and uncover more about each other. A domestic friends-to-lovers starring Nick with a beard and Charlie trying (and failing) to keep it together.
