    Summary

    Nick is visiting his father in France, and Charlie is returning to the UK from a friend’s wedding in Marseille. They meet by chance on a train heading to Paris.

    As they approach the station, Nick impulsively asks Charlie to get off the train with him and spend the evening with him in Paris.

    Charlie, who has felt an instant connection with Nick, agrees.

    This is the story about what happens over the course of that one life-altering night, and beyond.

    Inspired by the films ‘Before Sunrise’ and ‘Before Sunset.’

    Summary

    The Lion took a step forward then, slightly closer to Charlie. “You wore the wolf.” He lifts his hands and gently traces the soft curve of the edge of Charlie’s mask, so his finger is half on the mask and half trailing across Charlie’s upper cheek. It makes Charlie shutter slightly, in the best way. He can’t help the smile that unfurls across his face.

    Lion’s breath hitches for a moment, and then his finger drops slightly across his cheek. He presses it into the dimple on Charlie’s cheek. “You have dimples.” He says, he sounds entirely delighted, as if somehow dimples are a wonder to be marveled at. “I never knew you had dimples.”

    Charlie raises his hand and catches Lion’s hand, pressing his fingers against his face until Lion’s palm is cupping his cheek. “I suppose my other masks covered them up.” He supplies. He does not want to let go of Lion’s hand. Instead, he uses where he is clutching it to his face to slide it slightly, till it cover’s his mouth and he is able to place a gentle kiss upon the owner's palm.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is starting a new programme at a new uni and coming to terms with new realisations about himself. He plans to focus, take his time, and not get distracted.

    Charlie Spring is settled – happy with his life and all he’s accomplished. He’s never had trouble resisting temptation before, so surely he can handle it when a new man enters his life.

    Can either of them cope with the upheaval the other brings?

    Summary

    Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.

    Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.

    A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.

    So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?
