    Summary

    “You need to stop this thing with Nick Nelson.”

    So Charlie did. It was the worst choice he had ever made. He continued to love Nick Nelson most devotedly and for ten long years, Charlie had suffered—not just for his heartbreak, but the one he caused his most beloved.

    Therefore, it is not exactly the warmest reunion when their paths cross once again.

    Summary

    After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
    ___

    Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.

    ___

    This fic has inspired a new WIP told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
    If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.

    Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

    Summary

    When Nick's coach signs him up for a yoga resort as a way to unwind he expects several things.
    First, he expects to be bored out of his mind.
    Second, he expects to be constantly hungry since he isn't used to surviving off salads and smoothies
    Third, he expects that he'll want to leave after day one. There can't possibly be enough there to keep him entertained for a full week.
    What he doesn't expect is to be swept off his feet by a certain curly haired sarcastic yoga teacher and to fall headfirst into a whirlwind romance. Maybe he underestimated this place.
    Or, Nick goes to a yoga resort. Charlie is a yoga teacher. Sparks fly.

    Summary

    “Hi.”

    Charlie cannot move. It's as if the world has stopped spinning on its axis. Like this, right here, is the reason the world was spinning at all, and now that he’s made it to this place, there is nothing left to be done. The world may rest. Dear God, he suddenly wants to know everything about this man from one smile, wants to see him in every light and love him in each one. He feels like he’s falling into pieces. He wants this man to put them all back together.

    God, Charlie doesn’t even know him.

    or, the jewish wedding au.
