Summary
“They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt
Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.
Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.
Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

Summary
Charlie's not a fan of Valentine's Day. He's never had a boyfriend stick around long enough to mark the occasion with chocolate or flowers, and besides, he finds all the candy associated with the holiday tacky and disgusting.

Summary
“Right, so you're an alien?” Nick sighed. He certainly did have a type.
“No,” Charlie huffed, crossing his arms over his chest in a way that read more pretzel than perturbed. “I'm a homan.”
“It's human, Charlie.”
“Fuck.”
So they ended up back at Nick's flat, of course.
Every intergalactic traveller who visits Earth will try to convince you that they're here to broaden their horizons and get a taste of the local culture, but in point of fact, most of them are just sex tourists.

Summary
David and Olly get caught up in a magical musical number.
If you've seen the Buffy musical, this is my take on "I'll Never Tell." With a few exceptions, most of the verses are sung (roughly) to the tune of "A Lovely Night" from La La Land, but with a lot more energy and less moping.

Summary
At 28, Nick Nelson is living a life that should make him happy: he's got a good job, solid mates, and an on-again-off-again girlfriend he's known since secondary school. But for years, maybe as long as he can remember, he's felt like something was missing. Worse, he can't shake the nagging fear that he's the problem, that something might be wrong with him.
Charlie Spring is only 27, but he's already divorced, burnt out halfway through his masters degree, and his mental health is held together by twine and prayers. The only thing that gets him out of bed most days (other than his menagerie of pets) is his work as a wildlife rehabber at the Haven. Saving those animals is his focus in life now; he can't be bothered to worry about saving himself. And after what he endured at the hands of his ex-husband Ben, he's sworn off love for good.
...Then Nick finds an injured duckling.
