Summary
The dulcet whine of Justin Timberlake crackles through the bathroom speaker - dammit. tannoy.
I don’t want to make it tough, but I’ve had enough and it ain’t no lie.
I’m so lucky, he thinks, gazing into the bathroom mirror.
OR
Nick looks in the mirror of this Central Florida Chili's restroom and contemplates everything that brought him to this moment where he feels God(s) in this Chili's tonight at the beginning of a new millennium, with guest appearances from N'Sync, gay Disney cast members, Goofy, Donald & Daisy, and a heterosexual man who didn't get the memo about red shirts.

Summary
“Mum! I’m so sorry, but we had to take this opportunity when we had it. You were here for the commitment ceremony,” Nick said into his T-mobile Sidekick Slide. “We were still in Orlando when Gavin Newsom first announced they would be hosting marriage ceremonies. I didn’t even have my green card then.”
It's 2008. The US is getting with HOPE from a young senator from Illinois and the California Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional to forbid same-sex couples from marrying. With danger of a potential initiative that will enshrine marriage discrimination in the California Constitution, Nick and Charlie take the plunge. Nick's been managing his positive status well and they've made tons of friends in San Francisco. Why not?

Summary
While Nick & Charlie are visiting Argentina for a gorgeous wedding full of queer celebration, their sightseeing exposes them to a moment of homophobia. Charlie needs some support processing the incident before continuing their vacation. Queer community and beauty of nature combine for a joyous day full of color and love.
CW: The F slur and its Spanish equivalent are briefly used in this story. There are no direct threats or physical violence to queer characters. However, like us, they live in a world where homophobia exists.
While part of an ongoing series, this story can be read as a standalone.

Summary
It had been a long day on the rugby pitch when Nick got to the Hotel Kabuki. The lobby was an eclectic mix of leather couches, exposed wooden beams, pink chairs, and cement grey walls. Glancing at the bar, he caught a glimpse of black curly hair. It reminded him of someone and his heart ached a little.
