    Summary

    “Do you teach at Herne Bay?” Nick asked, curious to hear whether the man’s voice was as sharp as his cheekbones, or soft like his tight curls looked like they’d be under his fingertips.
    The man just nodded, still not looking to Nick once.

    Nick & Charlie are teachers at rival primary schools. Charlie's a bit of a bristly bastard. Nick's a hopeless simp. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff and everything in between. Buckle in, gang!

    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.

    Summary

    London is never the easiest place to find your soulmate; in 2020, it was a bigger challenge than usual. Young adults Nick and Charlie are about to meet on the cusp of history.

    Note: The first 44 chapters, about 78K words, are a teen-rated slow burn.

    Then the epilogues have various levels of smut (all tagged in chapter author notes): some have none, some are M and a couple are E. Heads up: We have more epilogues drafted or in notes and plan to move all the epilogues to a sequel Work when the rest are ready to share. That way, both parts can be properly rated and tagged in the main fic area. Thanks for understanding!
