    Summary

    “I’m just… bored of it, you know? Grindr. They’re all the same. Predictable. Transactional. Like ordering takeaway but with… people. No personality. Just—ugh.”

    “Do it with me, then.”

    Charlie froze. “What?”

    Nick smirked. “Show me your game. Flirt with me instead. Come on—if you’re so bored of them, let’s see how you’d do with someone who actually knows you.”

    ~

    They’ve always kept their distance. One night, neither of them wants to anymore.

    Summary

    What would happen if the Springs decided to uproot their lives in Kent and relocate to the other side of the world. Geraldine, New Zealand to be precise. Otherwise known as the arse end of nowhere. How will Charlie adjust to his new life, his new school and making new friends? What would happen when he meets a seemingly straight rugby boy who might just turn his whole life upside down…

    Or, an AU first meeting fic featuring first love, a slice of rural life, teenage antics, and lots and lots of swearing.

    Spoiler alert: a LOT happens in Geraldine.

    Rating is M for chapters 1-17, but changes to E down the line for some chapters, which will have warnings.

    Summary

    Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.

    Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.

    A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.

    So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?
