    Summary

    Nick Nelson is surviving, not living. A rugby injury ended his sport, a corporate desk job keeps him comfortable, and the closet keeps him safe. He’s done the math: staying closeted is simpler, safer, less messy.

    Then comes the company reorg — and with it, Charlie Spring. Out and proud. Tattooed. Brilliant. Practically the only thing people talk about at work. He’s everything Nick isn’t, and exactly who Nick can’t seem to ignore.

    Now stuck working side by side, their bickering turns into sparks neither of them can control. Numbers don’t lie, but feelings? That’s an entirely different equation.

     

    Enemies to lovers. Office drama. Sarcasm, banter, slow burn tension… and a guaranteed happy ending.

     

    **See Chapter 18 onwards for Tumblr-posted images created to illustrate Nick and Charlie in this universe.

    Summary

    Charlie doesn’t have an issue with Nick being straight. Nick is very sweet and caring, and a great best friend.

    The only issue is that Charlie, against his better judgement, is falling in love with him.

    or: Nick and Charlie meet as they move into a flatshare. They quickly become best friends and everything is going great, except... Charlie is utterly smitten. And it seems like Nick needs tons of physical affection to thrive. Constantly. Repeatedly. And Charlie is the only person around.

    Charlie doesn't mind. That's what friends are for, right?

    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

    Nick Nelson flies to Almeria for a planned family holiday meet up, only to find out that his dad and brother are a few days delayed. Thankfully, at Casa Primavera, they (mostly) give a warm welcome and, despite holidaying solo, Nick finds himself somewhat enamoured by it all; with Spain, with the hotel, and, most of all, with one staff member in particular.

    It’s just a shame that summer flings don’t last forever…

    Summary

    Nick registered legs first—long, lean, muscular. Then the rest of him. He was tall—maybe just a bit shorter than Nick—dressed in a deep navy suit that managed to hug in all the right places. His skin was light olive toned, his cheekbones were maddening, and his hair—Christ, his hair—was thick, black, and curly, like he’d just come from some effortlessly sexy shampoo commercial.

    But it was the eyes that did it.

    Nick felt his body betray him in real time. His palms went hot. His mouth went dry. Something stirred low in his belly, and fuck, he had to will his dick not to get involved. Because this was not okay. This was a work meeting. This was public. And the man hadn’t even said a word yet.

    ——-
    Welcome to the chaotic office romance, sexual tension, and awkward hilarity that’s been living rent free in my brain for months.

    After pouring my soul into the angst heavy 'Ben Hopeless', this story is pure self indulgence: think love, fluff, smut, and all the heart eyes in between. I’m not sure how many chapters it’ll end up being. I'm just following the fun wherever it leads.

    Also, I made Nick an accountant, because we are cool, thank you very much. Bad rep be damned!
