Description:

A post-canon series following Nick and Charlie through their lives together. The big days and the small everydays. It started as small connected drabbles but has expanded. Loose descriptions of the individual stories can be found in the Series Notes.

Follow Nick and Charlie as they figure out what they want to do with their lives, through marriage, Further education, and expanding the family.

Mostly Fluff. A comforting look into the life they could have.
