Fics like Building a Home

Ryland Grace loves his job as a middle school science teacher. His days are spent grading, running questionable experiments, and refereeing hormone-addled teens while they argue. One of his new students has a mysterious guardian- Simon. He’s gruff with a heart of gold, healing from trauma and doing his best to keep his niece safe and happy. Simon and Ryland unknowingly enter into a pining match fit for a romance novel. This is that romance novel. (Tags and warnings updated with new chapters.)
