    Summary

    David snickered. God, how childish could he be? “It’s not like you’ve got a boyfriend either, so my point stands.”

    “I do!” Nick clenched his jaw, immediately regretting those two words. Oh, shit. Shit shit shit.

    The thing was, Nick didn't have a boyfriend, only an older brother who was really good at getting under his skin. And now he'd not only lied about having a boyfriend in the first place, but then he'd gone and said:

    "Charlie," Fuck. "It's...it's Charlie."

    Or: Nick gets caught up in a little white lie, and now he's in Menorca with his family and his best friend Charlie Spring, who is going to pretend to be his boyfriend for two weeks. As long as they stuck to their plan, they could pull this off and convince David that they were actually going out; Nick just has to make sure that his very real crush on Charlie doesn't ruin things. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    A breath before, “I think I love you in an infatuated haze. It’s strange because it’s not a love that even I understood at first. And it’s a love that I fear the world will never understand.”

    They were facing each other, legs tangled, but Nick’s eyes were closed as he smiled and said, “The world wasn’t made for a love like this.”

    "Then let's show the world what love is made of."

    This is not a love story (Nick and Charlie version).

    Nick and Charlie have been best friends almost all of their lives, but recently, Charlie has been wondering if this is all their relationship to each other will ever be. Then when Nick takes an interest in popular girl Imogen, Charlie struggles to navigate these newfound feelings towards his best friend.

    Or the queerplatonic Nick and Charlie that you never knew you needed.

    "I can't be your friend, can't be your lover, can't be the reason we hold back each other." - Conan Gray

    Summary

    It all begins with the calm swing of the waves kissing the shore and the sound of wind in his ears. He went to sleep with a blanket on and woke up with salt in the air, up his nose, and way too real for it to be.

    Inspired by the mini-comic "The Dream" except Nick was reading a different piece of classic literature this time, featuring six different Charlies and probably inaccurate depictions of Greek mythology, but we have fun here anyway.

    Summary

    Charlie is in his 20's, out walking in a park and finds a lost dog.

    Little does he know the dog in question belongs to Nick Nelson, his unrequited (seriously massive) crush from when he was in school. Charlie rescues Nellie and hijinks ensue...

    EXCERPT:

    Charlie swallows and glances up at the sky for a moment. He doesn’t even know how all of this is happening right now. Truly, what is he going to say? Hi, Nick, I’m Charlie. You probably don’t remember me from Truham but I’ve been basically in love with you since I was 14, so yeah, I’m happy to take care of your dog - and that’s not even a euphemism - but then afterward will you please make out with me for hours and then fall in love with me so we can do every naughty thing I’ve been trying not to think about doing with you for the past ten years?

    Summary

    Nick didn't follow Charlie into the music block after rugby practice and their lives went in different directions. Twelve years later they meet again by chance.

    Not a slow burn, more like rapid inferno. They've got lost time to make up for.
    There will be discussion of Charlie's issues around food, his history of self-harm, and the occasional inconvenient side effect from taking an SSRI.

    For the sake of this story, I have invented a premiership team called The London Artillery. Go Cannons!

    Summary

    “What the fuck?”

    Charlie is with his friends Tao, Elle and Isaac who have finally convinced him to leave his dorm room tonight and head over to Queens Court, one of the local queer bars in Leeds for a retro disco night. Charlie has been inconsolable and was isolating after he and Nick, his boyfriend of the last four years, broke it off in a vicious fight, how it started he didn't want to remember. But they had said some pretty unforgiveable things to each other, and Nick hasn’t spoken to him since.

    And Charlie still can’t quite believe it when he spots Nick, yes, his Nick, making out with some random pretty girl near the bar.

    ___

    Charlie sees Nick making out with a girl... and a guy.

    Nick sees Charlie getting kissed by a guy.

    Can a posse of meddling gays and supportive allies ever get these two idiots back together?

    Summary

    Up-and-coming designer Elle Argent is about to launch her clothing line. The campaign promises to slay- if long-suffering and insufferably prickly producer Charlie Spring can get their disaster of a team back on schedule.

    When movement director Tara ropes Nick into helping with the final frantic preparations, she did not predict the effect her best friend would have on the campaign.

    And, as it turns out, neither did Charlie.

    *****

    “The problem is that we are short one tall, built, male-presenting model, yes?”
    Nick nodded along with everyone else.
    Elle, Tao, Darcy, Tara, Imogen, and Charlie all slowly turned to look at Nick.
    What?
    The entire production crew turned to look at Nick.
    What
    ...
    ...
    Oh, Nick thought.

    Oh no.

    Summary

    Their feet moved in rhythm with the earth’s breathing and the lake’s leaps. The coldness of Charlie’s body seeped through Nick’s thin clothing but he still held tight, basking in what he now knew to be the last embrace he would share with the boy. His heart’s beating did not change patterns as it broke, thumb playing with the ring while Charlie’s body wreaked with quiet sobs. No hug would have ever been tight enough to hold him together, but the grip they had on each other’s clothes translated the desire to try.

    “Can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?” Charlie whispered so his voice would not break, muffled as it was in Nick’s dirty shirt.

    “If it breaks, it loves; and if it loves, it is alive.”

    Or: Corpse Bride inspired story where, after months of grief and guilt eating away at Nick’s soul, he finds forgiveness and tentative happiness in an advantageous marriage; only, Charlie hasn’t quite caught up yet and isn’t ready to let him go so easily, not till death do them part - if that.

    Summary

    ~ whirling around the universe.

    In a universe where on your sixteenth birthday, the first thing your soulmate says to you appears on your wrist.

    “You know, Char,” Nick started in a murmur, running a hand through Charlie’s curls. He tangled his fingers in them. This made Charlie’s entire body relax at once, focusing on the small circles that Nick was rubbing into his scalp. “Everything is so much better with you in my life.”
    Charlie’s heart matched the pace in which Nick’s was beating with ease. “I agree,” he smiled. “You make my life so much better.”

    Or, put simply, proof that Nick and Charlie would find each other in any universe.

    “I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…In life after life, in age after age, forever.”

    Greetings, loved ones. Let’s take a journey….

    In the aftermath of Nick’s drug-induced pronouncement, our boys are trying to figure out where they stand with each other. Brace yourself for angst (with a happy ending. Eventually. I finally wrote a slow burn, fam). Flashbacks will fill in the story of how Charlie and Nick met and how their friendship evolved in the year and a half or so before the accident.

    Inspired by Date Me, Bryson Keller.

    Everyone knows about the bet. Each week, Nick Nelson, the Rugby King of Truham Grammar, must date someone new — the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes.

    Charlie Spring is shocked when Nick agrees to secretly date him. But as the week goes by, Charlie discovers there's more to Nick than he'd previously realized, and the fake dating starts to feel an awful lot like real dating. As he gets in deeper and deeper, can Charlie deal with the fact that this relationship will end after one week? After all, Nick is popular, handsome and straight. Right?
