Summary
Nick and Charlie have been dating for four years, and their relationship with intimacy has seen such a beautiful progression over that time. The trust and care and pure love they have for each other makes their intimate moments all the more special, more fulfilling. Charlie was so glad when they took that step together as teenagers, comfortable to try new things and communicate what feels good, and simply be close in a brand new way. Now, it’s a completely natural part of their lives.
Having sex with Nick is lovely. But there’s still something about making out that sends Charlie reeling.

Summary
"For the first three nights, Charlie listened to Nick cry himself to sleep. He didn't do anything about it, not daring to move a muscle until the soft sniffles coming from the bed next to him stuttered to a stop. It always took Nick around thirty minutes to exhaust himself, but each time was more harrowing than the last. Because, while Charlie lay awake under his covers, squeezing his eyes shut and begging for the gods to have mercy on this boy, he realised something earth-shattering.
Nick was exactly like him: shape-shifting was just an elaborate way of hiding. Just like Charlie, and despite his seemingly perfect character, Nick desperately longed to disappear."

He’s admitted to the Daffodil clinic, a specialised treatment centre for mental diseases that influence the appearance of young people. There, he meets Nick, a boy whose physique changes depending on who he’s talking to…

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 sister story, 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
Nick Nelson is doing so much better. He's got a good job as the Head Carpenter at Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia, has good friends, and has navigated his way through a rough couple of years only to emerge a stronger, more self-assured, and passionate version of himself. But then he gets a message from Charlie Spring. Yeah, that Charlie Spring. His former best friend. The first person he ever loved. The person he drunkenly confessed his feelings to in a move so chaotic that Charlie hasn't spoken to him since. Can this new and improved version of Nick find a way to be friends with Charlie again without getting his heart broken for a second time?

A song that really feels like it hits the notes of this story is Ivy by Frank Ocean. Take a listen to get into the mood.
