Summary
Charlie Spring is a poet/barista, working in the local queer coffee shop with Isaac and Sahar. The owners, Nathan and Youssef also use the shop to sell queer books and art, including a small book of erotic poems by Francis Primavera. Nick has just moved into the neighborhood after ending a relationship when they realized they were going in different directions. Trying to explore his new community, Nick picks up a few things to read at the local coffee shop. He can't help noticing the cute barista, but his heart (and libido) have been captured by an author he's never met. Or so he thinks.

Summary
If you ask any theatre kid, they’ll agree that tech week is hell.
Not only is it infamous for being the most stressful week of rehearsals, but it gets especially overwhelming when your stage manager and your lead actor won’t stop arguing.
Unfortunately, it happens to be especially overwhelming for the University of Leeds at the moment.*** OR ***
An alternate universe where StageManager!Nick and Actor!Charlie meet on the set of their university’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. The only problem is that Charlie seems to hate Nick for reasons completely unknown to anyone.
Will they stop arguing long enough to realise that this hatred could be hiding something more?
This is a completely self indulgent theatre enemies-to-lovers au that I needed in the world. Enjoy (please)!

’Billy pilgrim has come unstuck in time.’
That was the beginning, that book he was reading that first morning. When I was too focussed on his lips, the soft focus on his face, to be paying much attention to anything else.
Or
Nick Nelson has come unstuck in time.

Summary
What Nick wants is for Charlie to ring him up asking to meet someplace where they can apologize to each other and kiss and make up and know each other again. If Charlie could just know what the past year has been like for Nick—could know him and accept him in spite of all of Nick’s absolute bullshit, not just the way things ended but how everything crumbled apart after—
But that’s never going to happen. And if Nick can’t have it on his terms, well, it would be safer not to have it at all.
But he’s getting ahead of himself here. Let’s back up.
You’ve seen this story before: the boys stay broken up at the end of the Nick and Charlie novella, then meet again after some time apart. But here’s the twist: during the year in between, Nick’s whole life falls apart, and he’s diagnosed with bipolar disorder. When he finally comes face-to-face with the person whose loss triggered Nick’s breakdown—well, you’ll see.
