    Summary

    Fed up with always being single on the holidays, the perfect solution drops into Charlie’s lap when his aunt tells him about holidates. Someone only for the holidays. No strings. No expectations. No judgement.

    Meanwhile, Nick is trying to be casual. He's always gotten too much for the people he's dated. He always jumps too high, too fast. And so, when he meets the grumpy but beautiful Charlie, it isn’t long before they agree to be each other’s platonic plus-ones all year long.

    But as the seasons change, their hearts begin to yearn for something more.

    Summary

    Charlie’s life is finally on the up after three shit years studying at UCL. But after six months of house hunting, he’s still sleeping on Elle’s bedroom floor, and the panic is starting to set in. He’s teetering on the edge of withdrawing from his dream internship and moving back in with his parents when, out of nowhere, an oblivious Nick Nelson steps in to save the day.

    Nick never anticipated being newly single at 32—nor did he anticipate being quite so enthralled by his 21-year-old flatmate.

    Discoveries are made, trials and tribulations occur but Nick and Charlie survive in any universe, right?

    Summary

    Charlie is actually sorry about a lot of things, a lot of the time – it’s kind of his thing. Sometimes he’s sorry for things he shouldn’t be – like being born (very bad days) – but other times he’s sorry for coming to work on this strange secret project (the days where space vampires try to eat him), and falling in love with a straight man (every day, actually, but also Nick looks like that and he’s secretly a golden retriever, so it’s probably not his fault).

    He is, currently, very sorry for touching the blue thing in the lab. Next time, he’ll take the rocks – Tara can have the blue thing. She’ll probably discover the cure for every disease ever, whereas he’s just getting more trauma every time he picks the interesting option. It doesn't really seem fair.

    Summary

    "The subjunctive is the mood of uncertainty, right? What might have been. Or might be someday. It's…hopeful. You don't know for sure, but maybe." Nick gives Elle a crooked smile. "It's the mood of possibility."

    Canon divergence AU: Nick befriends Elle first. Charlie and the others come along as a package deal. And it turns out that accidentally fake dating your bestie gets even more complicated when you catch feelings for someone else…

    Summary

    Back when they started three years ago, it was just him and Ben fumbling around on their phones, making terrible pornography that people seemed to enjoy anyway. When Ben upped the production value, he saw it return tenfold in viewership and money, which also invited more people to send in requests.

    The first time they brought in a third, it had been exhilarating, a new dynamic that Charlie thought brought a lot to what they were doing. They’d discussed boundaries before, especially when requests started pouring in for Charlie to do a lot of sexual (and sometimes oddly, nonsexual things) and Ben was respectful of them.

    (or Charlie and Ben are an OnlyFans couple and while Charlie enjoys the work, he's left yearning for a life away from what he's found himself in. It doesn't help that his best friend, Nick, lives down the hall and when he's there, Charlie gets a glimpse of a much easier and happier life he could be leading.)

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie are childhood friends who do everything together and now that they're horny teen boys that includes watching porn and enjoying a cheeky wank together. Only problem is Nick is "straight" and thinks Charlie is, too. When Charlie tearfully comes out as gay to him, Nick is super supportive... He loves Charlie so much and promises that this new information won't change their friendship at all... except that it totally does, in ways neither of them could have imagined.

    Spoiler Note about the Underage Warning

    Nick and Charlie are the same age as Season 1 canon in this. They engage in a lot of masturbation while in each other's presence and Nick has sexual thoughts and dreams about Charlie. They also watch pornography together. All of these events are described in explicit detail. So if that's outside of your comfort level, feel free to give this one a pass.

    Summary

    “Nick,” Charlie spoke firmly, snapping Nick back to attention. His gaze was trained on Nick, a tinge of desperation seeping into his voice. “Do you not know who I am?”

    Nick hesitated a moment. He wracked his poor, throbbing brain one last time for some memory of the boy in front of him. He wished so badly that he could tell Charlie something else, anything else, and not cause him more anguish.

    “No, I'm so sorry. I don't remember you.” And then, because he couldn't seem to stop his big mouth. “Should I?”

    ***

    An AU where Nick and Charlie met and get together in uni. Nick has an accident during a rugby game that leaves him with memory issues. Charlie has to help navigate Nick's recovery while dealing with the pain of his boyfriend forgetting him.

    Summary

    Nick works at an experimental matchmaking project called The Compatibility Lab — part dating service, part social experiment, funded by a bizarre tech startup trying to disrupt “the loneliness economy.”

    The twist? Employees cannot be matched themselves. Nick’s fine with that — he’s just doing this because it fits around his rugby schedule.

    Then Charlie Spring walks in. Nervous, snarky, chronically self-sabotaging. Nick logs him as Client #143.

    This is fully written, and will be posted daily until complete! 💫

    Summary

    "Well, none of that mattered now. She was tired. She had been so tired, and even in the moments she met with joy she hadn't been able to truly embrace it. Now? She was joy, she was a bird. And her flight could've been the most beautiful to ever exist, if it wasn't for him. His scream:
    'No!'"

    Summary

    Charlie works the night shift at an almost empty café.

    Between hot cups and the yellow glow of the lamps, there is a box where strangers leave anonymous notes: confessions, secrets, little fragments of their lives.

    Nick is a young teacher who has just arrived in town. He spends his nights grading tests and trying to cope with expectations that always seem heavier than he can bear. Despite everything, he cares deeply about his students, noticing details that no one else notices. Inside his mind, he has little pieces of his life and fears that he would never have the courage to express aloud. Even when he is tired or distracted, there is a quiet kindness in him, something that calms and charms anyone lucky enough to cross his path.

    Sweet, shy, and gentle, but full of little vapors that burn slowly, like the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, which can only be smelled when you are close enough.
