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
“How are you?” Nick scans Charlie's face. “Wanna make sure you’re okay.”
“Nick,” Charlie chides in that playful, bashful tone that Nick loves so much. “You’re the one who just had a panic attack. I’m totally fine.”
Nick’s entire body tenses. “What?”
“What?” Charlie looks at him nervously, probably feeling the way Nick had immediately tensed up. “What’s wrong? Did I say something? I’m sorry-”
“We banned the S word,” he says distractedly. “You- you said I had a…”
“Panic attack?” Charlie finishes, as if it’s obvious.
“Yeah.” Nick is aware that he sounds ridiculously freaked out, but he can’t exactly hide that. What on earth is Charlie talking about? “I- I didn’t have a panic attack, Char.”
Now it’s Charlie’s turn to look at him like he’s got three heads. “What? Yes, you did.”
“No, I didn’t,” he insists. “Trust me, that’s just- that just happens sometimes.”

Summary
Everyone had so much fun with the last one it seemed a shame not to do it again. So here we go: one fic per day to help you pass the next 100 days until we get to the release of Season 3.
I've had so many requests for this, and asking if it is happening, so this is your definitive answer: Its happening, and its starting tomorrow! I have SO MANY amazing authors and artists for you this year. There was so much interest that I actually am able to have a different author or artist for each day, which absolutely blows my mind.
Subscribe to the series & each post will list the countdown before the title. Welcome to the journey!

Summary
Nick clears his throat and wipes his hands on a napkin. “So Charlie, tell me about yourself.”
“Oh god!” Charlie giggles. “Anything but that fucking question!”
Nick joins him in his laughter. “A truly terrible question, on both dates and job interviews,” he chuckles. “I’ll try to do better. What do you do for work?”
Charlie swallows his food, feeling his heart rate immediately increase. If Nick is going to be an ass about this, he’d rather find out sooner than later. Might as well put all his cards on the table.
“I’m a sex worker,” Charlie replies.

Summary
“Alright then. Who gave you the hickey?”
Charlie froze. He should’ve expected that. God, who’s stupid idea was it for him to join in on truth or dare?
“That’s not a fair question. That’s a personal question where I’m not the only one involved. It was someone on the trip. Let’s leave it at that."
“Come onnnnn, that’s not an answer!”
Charlie felt his blood boil. “Well it’s the answer you’re fucking getting, so drop it.” He spat.
Charlie could taste the blood in his mouth from how hard he was biting his tongue. He wanted to argue back so badly, but he physically couldn’t. Anything he said about the manner risked lowering the list of suspects. And outing Nick.

Summary
Charlie: You need to get in here. Now.
This wasn’t part of their Paris itinerary. This was not in their plans. And it was undoubtedly going to call a shit ton of unwanted attention to him. Something he was desperately trying to avoid on this trip. He didn’t want to cause a scene in Paris of all places.
He glanced up when he heard the bathroom door open. “What’s wrong?” Nick asked.
Charlie briefly hung his head and let out a humorless laugh, sounding a bit insane even to his own ears. He watched in real time as Nick’s eyes comically widened.
“Oh… my god.” He spoke in what could only be described was pure disbelief.
“Eh heh.” Charlie spoke as he was beginning to process the situation they had found themselves in. Truly, this would only happen to them.
“Di-did I do that?” Nick asked, still in shock.
Charlie gave him an incredulous look. “No, Nick, it was Tao who was sucking on my neck last night. Of course you did it!” He hissed through clenched teeth, watching as Nick’s face flushed scarlet at Charlie’s bluntness.

A Guide to Soulmates Thirteenth Edition
Soulmate /ˈsōlˌmāt/ noun: a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner
Past and ongoing studies have shown that those involved in the letter writing become what researchers refer to as “connected” or “a match” while the general public has taken to referring to their match as a “soulmate.” Despite the exhaustive research into what is commonly referred to as the “Soulmate Phenomenon” there is no clear answer for when or where the letter writing began. While the world may never have an answer to why we write the letters or how the matches are made, research has found that a set of unwritten rules govern the letters and guide the writers.
On his fifteenth birthday Nick Nelson slips a letter into a mailbox unsure of where it will end up. Two hundred miles away thirteen year old Charlie Spring holds the same letter with shaking hands

This was pretty cute, chronologically such a long burn but the chapters are so tiny it was so easy to read. A couple of unfinished parts but I didn’t feel like I was really missing anything bc of the snapshot way it’s written

Summary
“Rugby’s been pretty intense,” Nick admits, arching an eyebrow. “Enjoying the view then?”
“Always,” Charlie replies without missing a beat, though his voice is less teasing now. “Just…you’re okay, aren’t you? They aren’t working you too hard over there? You’re taking care of yourself?”
There’s worry injected into each word. Nick’s throat feels tight. Is he taking care of himself? He hardly sleeps, doesn’t eat as much as he really should be with how hard he’s exercising, pushes himself more than ever at practice, and hasn’t made a single friend in nearly two months.
But, none of that is anything Charlie can fix. He can’t change Nick’s course load or his rugby schedule or work, or any of it. He can’t force Nick to make friends or put himself out there. There’s nothing he can do so what is the point of burdening him with it?
“Nick?” Charlie prompts when he doesn’t respond, now seeming flat-out alarmed more than worried.
“I’m fine,” Nick says quickly, “sorry. I’m just really tired, Char.”
