It’s not really jealousy, he thinks. He isn’t jealous that Ben got there first. It’s nothing like that. It’s the fact that Ben didn’t care, doesn’t care, about all the precious things Charlie gave him. Ben took and took from Charlie and gave nothing in return. The thought of him using Charlie, especially like that. It makes him sick. It makes him possessive. It makes him want to fall to his knees and offer himself completely.
It makes him take off his jumper and hand it to Charlie just to see his smile.
An exploration of how Nick and Charlie's relationship might have changed if they explored sex earlier and deeper.
in your own made-up language by glaspen [E]
Nick and Charlie go to different universities and hit it off immediately when they meet at a party. What happens when their paths finally cross again, nearly a year later?
Title from Talk talk by Charli xcx
Kiss Me by stars_fall_on [E]
Ever since Charlie dropped the bomb of wanting to have bareback sex with Nick during movie night at Charlie's home, there hasn't passed a day where they haven't spoken about it. It's mostly been comments like 'I can't believe we're actually gonna do this' or questions like 'Are you sure you wanna do this? Are we ready for this?'
It always ended in the same resolution, though: HELL YES! As soon as humanly possible, please.
Lavender Fields by scienceisrealyo [E]
31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.
Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.
Narlie Waves by waveofyou [E]
A Heartstopper California AU where Nick (31) and the HS crew we know and love live in SoCal. Charlie (29) leaves his London office to work in San Diego for a year. Nellie makes a new puppy bestie. Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he's deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he's safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂
⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire
Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂”
Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂”
…so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections 🫶🏻
Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️
