    Summary

    “They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt

    Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.

    Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.

    Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

    Summary

    Here's the thing: soulmates are rare—really rare. Only people with rosemarks even have soulmates, and rosemarks aren't exactly common, are they? It makes sense that there would be so much misinformation out there about what happens in between getting your rosemark and figuring out who your soulmate actually is.

    And there's no way Charlie Spring is Nick's soulmate. There's just no way—not when he's the reason Nick's got Hanahaki Disease and is coughing up petals.

    Summary

    “Ni-ick!” Charlie exclaimed through exasperated laughter. “No s-word, please. I’m so glad you called. I’m just… surprised. It’s a bit strange to hear your voice after spending 70 days trying to imagine it.”

    “You’ve counted the days since we met?” Nick asked with unconcealed awe in his voice. This was so endearing, and just so Charlie that it made his heart soar with affection.

    Caught off guard, Charlie let out an embarrassed chuckle before regrouping quickly:

    “I didn’t need to,” he denied with levity. “My brain’s a calculator. It can’t be stopped. It’s both a blessing and a curse…”

    💬💬

    The summer after his first year in Leeds, Nick meets Charlie on the University meeting-up App. One problem: while Nick thinks they’re flirting, Charlie believes that Nick only wants to be his friend.

    This is a friends to enemies to lovers with a sprinkle of misunderstandings, late-night phone calls and New Year’s countdowns 🎉

    Summary

    "What sort of effort do you call this?" His answer sheet is dangling from Mr Reed's index finger and thumb, and his distaste for Nick's attempt is made clear in the sneer on his face.

     

    Or, Nick has a run in with a teacher at Truham Grammar.
