Summary
Looking at Nick Nelson, you’d never know he was a virgin. Like, who is possibly a virgin at his age?!
Certainly not the captain of the rugby club. Definitely not the bloke doorstopped by every divorcee mother at the school gates. And absolutely not the guy raking in sexual advances at queer bars every weekend.
But enough was enough. Nick's birthday was in a few days, and he was determined to lose his virginity with a bang.
Forty of them actually.
Nick Nelson was changing his sexual status from forty-year-old virgin to forty-year-old slut.

Summary
Thirty two-year-old Charlie Spring has just lost his mother. Their relationship was messy, but the grief still hits him and his siblings hard. Their father takes it worst of all and moves to Spain to be near family, leaving the house to Charlie.
Fresh out of a toxic relationship, Charlie refuses to move back into the childhood home that shaped so many of his issues. Instead, he decides to rent it out.
Nick Nelson, newly divorced and raising his five-year-old son Julian alone, returns to his hometown for support and takes a teaching job at his old primary school. He rents a house for himself and Julian—only to discover his new landlord is Charlie, the boy he once secretly crushed on.
Now Charlie has to decide if he can forgive Nick for ghosting him years ago, and Nick must finally explain what really happened.
And meanwhile…who is Julian talking to in his room when no one else is there?
TL;DR:
Charlie rents out his late mother’s house, only to lease it to Nick, the childhood crush who once ghosted him. As they navigate their unresolved past, Nick’s young son begins talking to someone unseen. -

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.

The Noise in the Garden by NotACactusCow for Lessthanthreehs

Summary
In the Garden, purity is everything.
Desire is called Noise. Doubt is infection. Obedience is survival.
Nicholas has spent his life trying to be good — to silence every stray thought, to follow every rule, to trust that if he empties himself enough, he will be made worthy. But when his growing closeness with Charles begins to stir feelings he cannot name, the Garden takes notice.
What begins as whispers turns into discipline. What feels like repentance becomes punishment, disguised as love.
As loyalties fracture and faith grows thin, Nicholas must decide whether purity is worth the cost — and how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect someone the Garden has already condemned.
TLDR
In a rigid religious commune obsessed with purity, a young man’s forbidden feelings lead to trouble— and the unraveling of everything he thought was holy.
