Summary
A few glimpses into the Nelson-Springs’ Menorca holiday.
————————
“You two,” Diane says, shaking her head fondly. “I had a feeling back when I diagnosed Nick with …” She thinks, eyes searching the navy sky littered with bright stars, takes a sip of red from her glass. “Was it puppy love?”
Nick looks away from Charlie long enough to answer, “I believe it was smitten and head over heels.”
“That’s it!” Diane responds, snapping her fingers.
“Oh, that first holiday here after they got together?” Rich asks.
“Uh-huh,” Diane confirms. “I just knew that was it for our little Nick.”
“He was a goner,” Rich agrees, chuckling. “Still is.”
Charlie stays silent, but drapes his arms around Nick’s shoulders, pulling him in for a kiss to the cheek.
Sarah gives the glass in her hand a bit of a swirl, nodding. “Oh, I knew long before then.”
Everyone’s eyes find her face.Series

Summary
Charlie and Lucy spend a rainy afternoon together.
————————
As Charlie gently sweeps the brush full of eyeshadow over her eyelid, Lucy’s curiosity gets the better of her. “Is petty?”
“Well,” Charlie lightly sighs, instantly wishing he was a better painter, “I’m not great at this yet. It’s a little messy, but the colour is stunning.” He cleans up the area with his finger dotting at the excess. He leans back and instructs, “Let’s see.”
Lucy opens her eyes, batting her eyelashes for good measure. She smiles wide.
“Oh my goodness, Goose,” Charlie fawns. “Love, you’re so shimmery.”
Looking ecstatic, Lucy loudly questions, “I sine?”
“You shine, babygirl!” Charlie holds up the mirror for her and she studies her reflection, turning her head to catch the light from the window.Series

Summary
The big girl bed saga.
————————
“Why don’t you lie down, sweetheart?” Charlie suggests. “We’re gonna stay with you for a little while. Remember, we’re gonna read about Gossie.” He grasps the book Lucy chose for her bedtime story from atop the duvet, displaying the cover to her. Tori sent the entire collection for Lucy’s birthday, a series of age-appropriate books about a gosling named Gossie, her favourite red boots, and her 13 gosling friends from the farm. Included in the gift set was a pair of shiny, bright red rainboots in Lucy’s size. She’s already worn them nearly every day since. “She seems like a cool little chick.”
Nick chuckles at Charlie’s lame attempt at a joke, as he slips to rest with his back against his husband’s chest, legs elongated beside his, cuddling into Charlie’s free arm.
“Are goslings also called chicks?” Charlie asks.
Pondering a moment or two, Nick replies, “I think they’re just goslings. Like, instead of chicks.”Series

Summary
It’s Lucy second birthday!
————————
While Nick gathers the supplies for a nappy change over at the table, he eggs Lucy on, smirking as he requests, “Hey Goose, why don’t you tell Dad how old you are?”
Her eyes light up, so excited to share her knowledge. Sticking her fist right near Charlie’s eyes, Lucy thinks for a moment and then unfurls two fingers with careful consideration. Once she determines that’s in fact what her papa confirmed for her yesterday, she proudly tells Charlie, “I two kid!”
Somewhere behind them, Nick snickers. He throws a hand over his mouth to hide his amusement.
“Sorry, love?” Charlie asks.
Questioning her finger calculation, Lucy pulls her hand back and counts aloud, “One … two …” She puts them back in his face, so sure this time. “Yes! Is two!”
“Yes, you are two,” Charlie says. “And that is two fingers.” He holds up two of his own, mirroring hers. “You’re so good at counting, sweetheart.”Series

Summary
“Primrose!”
Charlie watches as Nick tries to reach Primrose, holding his body in a way that protects Violet and Lily as well as possible, but the wave reaches him, swallowing him and the two youngest girls like they’re nothing. Primrose screams again, watching the wave, before she looks back at the pool and dives in. The wave takes her too. Charlie is still frozen. The wave is getting closer and he can’t move. He reaches for something nearby to possibly soften the blow and he holds the chair in front of him, closing his eyes, bracing himself for the impact.
And the wave slams him into the glass behind him.

Summary
“Nick, we made her,” Charlie bursts out. “She’s a genetic makeup of both of us and I have a lot more messed up stuff. If it wasn’t what I did during the pregnancy physically then--”
“Charlie, breathe,” Nick interrupts, forcing Charlie to look at him by cupping his jaw, taking a deep breath for Charlie to copy.
Charlie looks back at Nick and follows his breathing, his eyes falling shut when he feels a sob start to build in his throat. Nick leans forward so their foreheads touch and nuzzles his nose.
“There’s nothing wrong with Abi,” he starts softly. “We’ve said that from the start, right? No matter what any tests say, she’s still our perfect little girl. She’s just going to need some more help than her sisters and that’s okay.”

Scenes of a day in the life of Nick and Lucy.
————————
Lucy squeals at Daisy’s attention, “Dees!”
“That’s right, Dais,” Nick says, sharing a wide grin with Lucy. “Wait your turn.”
“Pop!” Lucy rights herself, then stands with her hands braced on the railing. “Pip me!”
“Pick you up?” Nick asks, as if she doesn’t request this every morning.
“Peas!” She throws her arms up in the air, waiting, smiling so big she’s showing off her little pearly teeth. “Pip up!”
“What if …” Nick ponders, quirking an eyebrow at his daughter, sneaking on tiptoes. “What if I …”Series

Summary
“Nick’s rejection gave Charlie such whiplash that he was too shocked to cry at first. But now, he can’t help the tears. Gravity makes them fall into his ears. Charlie doesn’t mind. That way, he can listen to the deafening sound of his misery.
The worst thing is—this isn’t the first time it has happened. This has been going on for weeks now, even if he didn’t want to believe it. Every time he tries to initiate intimacy, Nick finds a way to hedge. Charlie has been blinding himself. He’s become addicted to the stars, and he has squeezed his eyes for too long just to see them.
They have been married for two years, he isn’t even thirty yet, and that's already it. Nick doesn’t want to have sex with Charlie any more.”
___When Charlie notices that his husband is reluctant to be intimate with him, he makes it a mission to discover why. Is Nick not attracted to him any more? Is he repulsed by the scars that a car accident left on him three months ago? Or is there another reason?

Because You Loved Me by all_too_hellosunshine1989

Summary
“A light in the dark shining your love into my life. You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you. I’m everything I am because you loved me.”
I was looking for some married!Narlie chapter fics and was having trouble finding many, so I wrote my own! I blurred the lines with the comics and show (I love both SO much). Oliver is included and now a teenager, but I wrote about Isaac instead of Aled. Character likeness belongs to the brilliant Alice Oseman. I am following the timeline already established in the comics, so Nick just turned 29 while Charlie is 27, and their pup, Daisy, is approximately two.
Recent praise for BYLM:
“Quite simply this is my favorite fic right now.”
“This is truly one of the best Narlie fics ever!! Read the whole thing in 3 hours!”
“The invisible hairs on my arms stand on end as I am made to read one of the most stunningly beautiful things I've read in my life.”
“THE ONLY version that feels like canon to me.”

Summary
"In the years they’d been together, Charlie had come to realise, there are many advantages to having a rugby boyfriend. How easily he could pick Charlie up, for one. How great his thighs looked in shorts, for another. His ability to strategise, borne from years of being team captain. But the best, in Charlie’s opinion, was that he was absolutely unashamed of being in the buff."
