have been soooo romantic. Until Robin showed up...
A 3,000 word essay by Nicholas Hayes (with a little
narrative from Mr. Mitchell!)
Robin's gotten himself into a bit of a mess. How does this
affect Nick and Damien?
X- Rated. The guys make good use of their free
time.
Robin has a hard time dealing with Nick's illness.
"Do you want a
corner to look at?" Allen said warningly.
"Ooh, yes
please," Robin said sourly.
Bonfire. And a little hand-holding I think but definitely nothing
scandalous like handshaking.

Just wanted to say that I love these two characters - also, I'm not sure if this the best place for a request, but if it's not too much trouble, I would really like to see Nick telling Damien about his brittle asthma, and Damien's reaction - his acceptance of his partner's illness and it's place in their lives is rather stunningly open-hearted, and I can't help wondering if that's always been the case. Just a request. Thanks!
I LOVE Nick and Damien. I would like to see more stories, but the love that they have for each other is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing. I agree with Rita on more stories of Damien and Nick in the early years.
Favourite of all your couples; so adorable and so real. I love your writing so much!
<3
Had your page bookmarked on an old computer, which died a miserable death. Just spent half an hour finding you guys again (Do you know how hard it is when you can remember author, but only one of the main characters, and so are reduced to searching for keywords ...) Delighted to see the new and expanded page, thank you so much for sharing.
This was the first discipline series I ever read and I loved it! Nick and Damien will always have a very special place in my heart.
I have been following your Nick & Damien stories for years, but have been very delinquent in commenting. I absolutely enjoy your stories, you write so well that I easily follow along with Nick's ideas thinking that's logical, then realizing no that really wasn't the best thing to do. You build the characters so well and make them live. One of the things that spurred me to write now is that I was just diagnosed with eosinophilic bronchitis asthma after a couple of difficult years of breathing difficulties. The bronchitis type can't be diagnosed with a normal asthma test. Right now I really identify with Nick (though I hope I'm not a brat!!) I'm sorry it's taken so long to tell you that I just love these characters and I do enjoy your other stories also. Thanks for writing such lovely characters. Cheryl
Would it be possible to post these stories in chronological order? I want to know which one to read first and I can't tell from this list. Thanks!
Hi Mell
Start at The Salesman and go down the list to Mermaids, then go to the top and work down that list. They are in chron order, just in two sections as people wanted to find the newer stories easily.
Actually no, Start at Salesman and go down to Mermaids, then start at the BOTTOM of the top list, at Coach and Horses, and work UP the list in sequence to Shh! which is newest.
Sorry, too many stories......
I absolutely love and adore your Nick and Damien stories, and have been reading and re-reading them for years! It was the first slash discipline series I have read and let me tell you they are still by far the best! Please, please, please do write more stories about these absolutely wonderful and ever so funny characters. Thanks so much for sharing them! Marianna
Thank you Marianna!
Thank you so much for writing these! Aside from Falls Chance Ranch, I have to say this series is my absolute favorite of yours. You really make the characters come alive. Like everyone else who has commented before me, I really hope you add more stories soon!
Also, thanks for giving me the reading order. That helped so much.
I LOVE this couple. At the risk of drawing your ire, I feel compelled to express my earnest wish that you'll give the ranch a rest and return to Nick and Damien one more time. Sorry, don't hate me!
Thanks for sharing your imagination over the years.
Just found your stories, and have been making my way through. I have especially enjoyed the Nick and Damien series. You are one talented writer Ranger!
There is just something about these two I find endearing. You have made them SOOO real, which I feel says a lot about a writer's ability. I love Nick's antics, and Damien's sometimes sarcastic, but always firm way of working with Nick.
Is a curiosity of mine to read more about how they got to where they are in their discipline relationship. There have been little clues throughout, I know, but would be neat to see a story in the earlier years.
Anyways am rambling now, but I really want you to know how much I appreciate your stories!
...this couple distracts me during math class :)
@Ranger, in response to one of the comments your published on March 29, 2011, there really can never be /too/ many stories *hint hint*
I adore Nick and Damien stories, I can just sit and read them endlessly! :)
I love these stories . I really enjoyed reading them and re-reading them . They put a big smile on my face .
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this amazing writing .
I hope you write more.
Take care
How can you abandon these wonderful characters?
I love these stories but is there a story about what happens after strike three
I love the Nick and Damien stories too. I've read them many times. Any chance you might write more in this series?
Love these stories! I have them bookmarked to come back to again and again. After I though I read them all, I found story that I missed and it was like Christmas for me! Hope you will continue writing about these two.
I love these stories but what story comes after strike 3 we never finds out if Nick forgives Robin.
I am glad to find these stories again, and easily accessible.
For newcomers curious about Damien's first meeting with Nick, it is included in flashbacks in "Counterweight", where Damien is the narrator.

Reread this series recently and fell in love with all of it all over again. Can't believe this all started almost a decade ago. I hope you know these stories, these two characters, and your writing is well-loved by many! I've never commented before so let me say thanks for this and all your other amazing works.
This series is the best I have read in this genre and I absolutely fell im love with the characters.
I hope you continue and write more stories about them.
The writing is so beautiful that I think I can actually see the scene playing out, hear his thoughts as my own and just feel everything they feel.
The humour also adds so much to the story and character development.
Thank-you so much for writing these gems! And also bringing Damien into my life :-P
Ranger I love these stories so much. Although I was thinking - if dust is bad for Nick's asthma then surely shoes ought to be downstairs instead of upstairs in their bedroom where he's sleeping and breathing in dust from outdoor shoes? :p
All I can say is I'm with Nick on this one (and his hatred of Robin ) No one have outdoor shoes in bedroom cupboards these days Mitchell！��
Thank you for all these gorgeous stories I discovered them over ten years ago at university and have thouroughly enjoyed rereading them.
Emma
another year, another reread of this delightful series. thanks again for sharing so much of Nick and Damien's story. it's really a pleasure reading through chronologically and seeing how much Nick grows and how steadfast Damien is throughout.
