    Summary

    Charlie Spring is starting his first year at university, and he's thrilled to finally be away from his family and reinvent himself. The only problem is that he doesn't really like himself. When he meets people pleasing Nick Nelson he learns what it's like to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't think you're a burden and through that, he starts to feel a bit better about himself and his journey. Maybe Charlie will help Nick feel a bit more confident in himself as well...

    Book title from "Dover Beach" by Baby Queen, otherwise known as one of the best Heartstopper TV songs.

    Summary

    It's only December and Nick is tired. So tired. David was messing up his usual routine and school wasn't much better. Maybe the school library could provide a peaceful place to sleep. Apparently the library was also a place for a couple to talk...why does one of them sound like a dick though?

    Summary

    Charlie Spring endures constant and horrific bullying during Year 9 after being outed as gay. He tries to ignore it. Tries to not let it get to him. Tries to ignore all the sneers and harsh words thrown at him day in and day out. But it hurts. It gets to him. He slowly becomes more and more a shell of himself, becomes more and more angry, until one day he just snaps. He gets in an all out brawl with the guys who just won't leave him alone and winds up hitting his breaking point, having a complete mental breakdown. Everything changes that day. He's angry, pissed off, and he can't hold it in anymore. He builds a wall of defense around himself made out of violence and anger, shoving all his other emotions and personality down in order to protect himself.

    Until Nick Nelson comes along and completely shatters everything he thought he knew, and forces him to start feeling again.

    Summary

    The problem with Legends is that, over time, they are altered, misremembered, or forgotten all together. But some Legends are so great, they must be relived, again and again, until they get it right.

    Nick dreams only of being the Rugby King of Truham Grammar. Beyond that, he has no idea what he wants to do with his future. Until he meets a boy with curly hair, blue eyes, and dimples.

    Charlie dreams of Dragons, and Magick, of brave Knights, and a quest set before him, to bring back the olde ways, and set right the Legend that has been retold thousands of times. This time, he vows to set the record straight (Or not so straight.)

    Who knew their Destinies would collide?

    Summary

    “We can just say no,” Nick said as they sat in his car, parked across the street from Charlie’s house. They’d been there for 20 minutes already, Nick leaving the car running so Charlie didn’t completely freeze. “I can text Tori right now and you know she’ll have an excuse at the ready, then we can go back home or to Mum’s.”

    It was their first Christmas after finishing uni and moving in together, officially, just three months prior. Charlie’s Mum had made a big deal about spending Christmas Eve together, since Charlie mentioned that he and Nick wanted to be alone on Christmas Day, in their new flat. Boxing Day was reserved for Nick’s family and despite them missing out on the bigger Nelson party, no one on that side complained one bit.

    “She’ll just get worse about it,” Charlie said with a sigh. The hot tea Nick had made for him before they left was now pretty cold. “I just need to suck it up and go in. That’s what Geoff always tells me, I have to just take a breath and face what’s scaring me head on.”

    Summary

    Nick Nelson was living the dream: a fulfilling job, a cozy life in London, and the perfect boyfriend, Charlie Spring. There was just one small problem—he wanted to propose to Charlie, but had absolutely no idea where to begin.

    Charlie, fresh out of university and thrilled with his new internship at a prestigious publishing house, couldn’t imagine life getting any better. Between his dream job, his amazing friends, and his devoted boyfriend, Nick, life felt just about perfect.

    And then there was Sarah Nelson. A self-proclaimed woman of “simple passions,” Sarah took great joy in three things: watching her boys thrive, diving into a great book, and orchestrating the most spectacular gay wedding this world would ever see. “And no one,” Sarah declared, her eyes glinting with an intensity that left even Nellie and Henry questioning her sanity, “no one is going to take that dream away from me.”

     

    This story is a continuation of my previous work "The birds and the bees", though it’s not necessary to have read the first part to enjoy this one, yet highly recommend it for a dose of laughs.

    “You’re just jealous, mate.”

    Summary

    Nick Nelson has spent a lot of time thinking about Charlie lately—a lot. It’s only natural, really. After all, they’ve been growing closer, and Nick can’t help but imagine what could happen between them when the time is right. But those thoughts? They’re not exactly innocent.

    As if his mind wasn’t already racing, Nick finds himself the subject of several awkward “sex talks”—five, to be exact, and well, they make him think if he can’t just skip being a horny teenager.

    Or 5 times someone talks Nick about sex and 1 time he talks with Charlie

    Summary

    And suddenly there were hands on him. Charlie reacted so fast he didn't even attempt to dry his hands, swinging his left arm back like a bullet and hearing a satisfying crack when his elbow made contact with the person's body behind him. Perks of having boney elbows.

    Charlie may not have been the biggest toughest guy in the school, but he was very smart and he was very fast. He'd learned exactly how to use his body to his advantage over the last year. Once he knew what was going on, he quickly changed tactics, throwing his entire body weight around in the guy's hold rather than flailing his limbs. He just needed to throw them off balance just enough to-

    His left arm was free again, and he immediately took advantage of the opening, chop blocking the throat of the guy on his left and watching him fall to the ground with the force.
