Summary
Nick Nelson is successful. He's got a fancy car, a beautiful girlfriend, and a flat in a desirable part of London. He's on his way to a highly profitable career in environmental law, and with it comes a chance to finally mend his relationship with his estranged father. But beneath the veneer of success, Nick harbours a secret that threatens to destroy the progress he's made both in his career and with his dad. He's spent years concealing his true self, carefully constructing a mask that no one can see beneath, but the arrival of a new hire at Fournier & Associates forces Nick to confront the truth about himself. When the chips are down, what will Nick choose: the life he's built, or the truth in his heart?

Summary
This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry
Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?
Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.
Nick, 23

Face the world again, firm and courageous.
Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
like floods that are past and remembered no more
Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn
(Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.
This is a story about the light.

Summary
Nick Nelson, 24, is struggling to process the massive change of direction his life has taken in such a short period of time. Money is tight and his mental health is frayed.
His friends and family are worried about him, but he's fine, just fine. Honest.His best friends, Tara and Darcy, persuade him that the solution to his money worries is to rent out his spare room for 6 months. He just needs to find someone suitable.
Charlie Spring, 22, is fed up of being walked all over by his (ex) boyfriend. He needs to move out of their shared flat ASAP if Ben is ever going to accept that they are over. He just needs to find somewhere affordable and, preferably, available immediately - not an easy feat in London. His sister suggests he should look slightly further afield. Kent sounds like a good option.
