Summary
After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.
AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
Also some angst! But always a happy ending.**Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**

Summary
Nick was always there in the mornings, in fact Charlie was pretty sure he never actually left, usually seeing him behind the counter when he’d leave for home at 2:00.
On the days Charlie wasn’t there, he wondered if Nick stuck to the same routine, or if he worked a different shift. Charlie went grocery shopping every Saturday at 1:30, usually his only trip into town, and he never once saw Nick. The handful of times a month he’d go in for other reasons, it would be Nickless as well. It was as if the man only existed inside of the building, Schrödinger’s Nick, he’d taken to calling it in his head.
(Or, Charlie’s a recluse writer who can’t seem to write his second novel and Nick is a former rugby star who now owns a bakery.)
