Time Is the Fire in Which We Burn

Zayn Malik is an up-and-coming writer returning to his old secondary school for the opening of a library he donated money towards. But the truth is, school was horrific for him. He was bullied mercilessly for his race and sexuality, and he hates everyone and everything there. Trapped in painful memories, he falls apart, before an old face from the past turns up and tries to piece him back together.

Liam didn't have a good time in school himself, and somehow he's still stuck there, working as a P.E. teacher. But a chance encounter with Zayn means that things are suddenly looking up.
