    Summary

    “What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.

    Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”

    “Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”

    “Nelson. Why?”

    “My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”

    For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?

    OR

    Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie did not grow up in the same town or even the same country. They grew up worlds apart, but they had two things in common. They were both Mormon and queer. They meet on their Mormon missions in the late 1990's Northern England. This story explores their lives over several decades as they navigate their faith and queer identities. Jumping between time periods, the story lines are gradually revealed as Nick and Charlie continue to learn about themselves and those around them.

    A balance between, fluff, angst and smut. Don't worry, you don't have to know that much about Mormons. Plenty of explanation, obscure facts and links in the notes to help explain anything you don't understand. Or just DM me on Twitter.

    Summary

    Five times that Charlie and Nick's teachers secretly meddled, and the one time they were invited to.

    OR

    Each time I rewatch or reread this series I am irrationally bothered by the fact that NONE of the teachers seemed to notice or care about the bullying Charlie endured. For my own mental health, I created a little universe where at least some of them gave a damn and even had fun doing so!
