Summary
Tori, Jane, and Julio are in a car accident on the way home from one of Michael's competitions.
Charlie is left to pick up the pieces and care for Olly.
*****
Please be warned that this story deals with grief, the loss of loved ones, and the loss of the life you thought you were going to have.If Charlie being orphaned is going to bring up things you would rather not deal with, maybe give this one a miss.
Practical note:
Text messages are shown in bubbles of various hues if you have Dark Mode/Reversi enabled some messages may be difficult to read.
Three options :
a) Turn off Dark Mode ( black on yellow is easier to read than white on yellow) OR
b) Turn off skins ( this will render the story in plain text) OR
c) Highlight the text to increase the contrast.Bookmarked by NickCharlie4ver

Summary
When Charlie Spring's dad gets relocated for work, Charlie and his siblings are forced to leave behind their lives in New York City and start over in a tiny town in South Carolina.
Charlie hates it.
He hates the heat, the smell, the lack of public transportation, the casual homophobia, and the fact that half the town seems emotionally invested in high school football.
Then he meets Nick Nelson.
Nick is a farm boy, a quarterback, and annoyingly nice. He's also funny, patient, ridiculously attractive, and somehow determined to drag Charlie through every small-town summer tradition imaginable.
Charlie keeps telling himself they're just friends.
Unfortunately, that becomes harder to believe with every passing day.

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?

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
“You’re Nick and Charlie, so you’re gonna be fine.”
Spoiler alert: - we weren’t fine. Not even close.
Nick and I had believed we could make a long-distance relationship work. We loved each other, we were positive, and we were strong. But the distance between Truham and Leeds could have been a million miles; the journey lasted hours, train tickets took all our money, and I… well, I turned into a bitch. There’s no other word for it.
I pushed and pushed until Nick did something terrible. Something that broke us apart. Something that sent me spinning back into a relationship with a man who’d already abused me as a boy. The scars from that terrible time – mental, physical – followed me over the following six years.
And that’s when Nick found me again. Still playing with Queer Intentions. Directionless, miserable, still deeply scarred by the past.
But here’s the thing… we live in the same city now. The past is another country, so they say. Can we move past what happened?
Do I even want that?
Can we rekindle what we had before… or does it risk sending me into another self-destructive spiral?
