    Summary

    Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈

    Summary

    He leans closer to Nick, smiling at the coolness of Nick’s pendant brushing against his shoulder as Nick curves towards him too; the bowing of two trees growing towards each other instead of the sun, like salvation and vitality is found within the other. “We said forever, right?”

    Charlie swears he hears Nick’s heart kick up a beat as intones softly, “Yeah, baby. Forever.”

    Charlie turns to looks at Nick and thinks of that James Baldwin quote that warms him like the golden rays of the last of summer's sunshine:

    "Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?"


    charlie and nick met on hinge and fell in love. life hasn't been perfect, but it didn't have to be. they love each other. this is their happy ending.

    one story told over five volumes.


    vol. i, ii & iii. | vol. iv. | this is vol. v - the end.

    Summary

    Nick dawdles along the shore of the Xi’an River, finds the inlet where river meets sea. There, in the liminality, sand gives way to grit, melts under the cautious brush of murky water.

    He’s not quite sure if his mum’ll call to him first… or if the… if his friend will. Charlie.

    As children, Nick, a human boy, met Charlie, a mermaid who lives in the river near his home.

    This is a love story about growing up, finding a community, and finding magical bodies of water that give you HRT for free. Bodies, after all, are complex. So is gender. Why wouldn't magic acknowledge that?
