    Summary

    This is all too much. The snow, the lost luggage, the jetlag, the entire last year with Ben. I want to sit here, flat on my ass in the middle of the concrete, and cry. But the big mitten is already in front of my face.
    “Up you go.” The hand inside the mitten is strong and I’m back on my feet easily.
    I try to steady myself. Physically and mentally.
    “Take this,” I hear, and the next moment, his coat clamps around me, the hood spilling over my forehead. I’m immediately enveloped in blissful warmth.

    OR: AU where Nick and Charlie meet in a study abroad program at a university in the North Carolina mountains. They drink cocoa, play in the snow, and of course, fall in love.

    Summary

    what happens when things in your life don't go according to plan?

    what happens, for example, if you were a professional rugby player, and suddenly injuries, and now you're not?

    what do you do? what kind of future can you make from this present? how much is your past going to keep intruding?

    (the overuse of questions here isn't a mistake--you'll find the same in the fic itself. just pretend i'm an old, kindly philosopher sitting on a mountaintop somewhere and i'm determined not to tell you any answers, but rather seek them together...)
