    Summary

    American AU set in central Texas.

    Charlie Spring transfers to Truham High in 10th grade to get away from the bullying he faced at his old school. He makes friends with Tao, Elle, and Isaac, and almost immediately crosses paths with Nick Nelson, and there’s immediate interest between the two of them. Then he finds out that Nick is the catcher for the Truham baseball team. Thaaaaaat’s a bit of a problem.

    Charlie Spring hates baseball.

    Nick Nelson is… mostly looking forward to the start of 11th grade at Truham High. He’s popular enough, has good friends, and is the starting catcher on the varsity baseball team. But Nick is tired. No one, not even his friends, seems to see him as anything as boring old reliable Nick. Then he sees Charlie Spring, and wow. Instant crush. Except… Charlie hates him.

    Can Nick convince Charlie that baseball isn’t actually the worst sport in the world? Can Charlie maybe be the one person who sees past Nick’s façade?

    Or, the accidental Pride and Prejudice and Baseball AU, with fewer siblings and absolutely no marriage.

    Summary

    It is cold, rainy and well after midnight. Charlie is responsible for getting his totally plastered friends home safely. Elle has fallen asleep on a bus stop bench with her face smooshed against the glass. Tao is in the middle of the road trying to recreate the dance scene from “Singing in the Rain”. Charlie is in dire need of assistance. If only there was a nice strong lad close by who could lend a hand? Spoiler: There is.

    Summary

    “Honestly Nick, if you do actually meet the love of your life at Camp ‘Back Arse of Nowhere’, I will eat my words and you can lord it over me forever that you were right. Deal?”

    OR

    Sometimes, you find love in the most unexpected places. Not everyone meets the love of their life at 14 and 16, seated next to each other in form class. Sometimes, you need to travel halfway across the world to find your person.
