Not an Idiot by RooBadley

Summary
Simon Snow likes weapons. They’re reliable. They do what you ask of them. Plus, anything can be a weapon if you’re creative enough: cricket bat, butter knife, therapy.
Therapy has turned out to be Simon’s most reliable weapon. The best tool in his arsenal to fight back The Dark Creatures Within and it’s bloody well working. It worked better than the Sword of Mages ever did because the skills he learns in therapy won’t abandon him just because he doesn’t have his magic anymore. Did he really lose his magic, though? Magic is just words, right? And Simon still has words. He’s learning to use them.
A canon divergent post-Carry On world where Simon sticks with therapy and discovers writing helps him process his trauma. Good things happen. Not a lot of rising action, but there’s poetry and cussing and snogging and late night arguments about feminist literature and self-care face masks.

Summary
Simon Snow is standing on a sidewalk in the East Village looking directly at me with a soft smile on his face.
It’s snowing, and the flakes are landing in his auburn hair (it’s exactly as I remember it, short on the sides and back, long curls at the top cascading over his eyes) and glistening on his shoulders. It’s a beautiful sight and too much to take in. I close my eyes and count to 10. When I open them again, he’s gone. I exhale. (I didn’t even realize that I’d been holding my breath.) Figment of my imagination then, which doesn’t make me feel much better. I haven’t had a vision of Snow like this in ages. I think about him every day (I’ll never stop thinking about him). Simon Snow will always be a part of my heart, of my soul, but he’s not a part of my life any longer.

Summary
There is nothing Simon Snow loves more in life than football. And there's really nothing in Baz Pitch's life other than football.
Baz Pitch is the star player of Mummers United FC, a low tier club he's singled-handedly put on the maps, along with the tiny northern town of Watford-on-Mummers. Simon Snow is a footie fanatic, founder of the MumU supporter section, and owner of the Sun and Goat pub. He's built a living out of watching Baz play, and it doesn't even matter that they haven't spoken since they were kids. Simon knows, no matter what, Baz Pitch is going to be the greatest player England has ever seen.
So why is Baz Pitch living in a middle terrace in the middle of nowhere, day drinking and doing (bad) yoga?

Summary
Baz Pitch is set to take over Grimm's Real Estates one day - but he's not even sure if that's what he wants to do in life. Before he can decide, however, his Father falls in a dispute with Watford Institute for the Conservation of Nature over building plans in a protected area. As the heir of the company, Baz gets dragged into the fight, but he finds himself siding more with the conservation ecologist Simon Snow rather than with his Father.
This is a story about capitalist scum, ridiculously fit ornithologists and saving the Mummer's moor.Series

Summary
Sometimes, I catch glimpses. They make my brain squeeze and squirm—like my grey matter has been turned to needles. Internal wounds, all memories and blood.
It hurts every time.
I know I had him—whoever he was—erased. I know what it means. At some point, I wanted him gone. Wanted him gone so badly that I was willing to let them wipe everything and leave the slate clean.
There’s no record of an erasure not sticking. No reports of memories ever coming back. Believe me, I’ve checked.
But maybe…maybe some people aren’t meant to be forgotten.
I’ll probably never know.
_______________________
A world where you can have the memories of people you once loved erased.
Where Simon and Baz fall in love.
Where they fall apart.
And where Simon runs into Baz years later, and Baz doesn’t recognize him.Inspired by the brilliant Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (but stands on its own, so don't worry if you haven't seen it).
