Charlie ran, Nick stayed, and neither of them ever really moved on.
Ten years after their heartbreaking goodbye, fate brings them back together. Now, they’re older, bruised, and entangled in the lives they’ve built on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Summary
AU where Nick had his bisexual awakening a bit earlier and is out to his mum and his closest friends. Sai, Christian, and Otis are supportive straight friends... really. But they're at their wits end with Nick endlessly pining over Charlie Spring, but never getting the guts to ask him out. So they offer to help Nick practise confessing his feelings to Charlie:
🩷💜💙
I take a deep breath and imagine that it's Charlie in front of me. It’s actually easier than I thought to visualise him, my friends fade away and my vision blurs as if there’s a fantasy filter on. And there’s Charlie, with a small smile, waiting for me to begin talking.
“So, um, I had something I wanted to ask you.” I can almost see Charlie blinking up at me from those lovely long lashes of his, I clear my throat and let my heart speak. “Charlie… I wanted to tell you that I'm bi, actually. And… I'm in love with you. Do you want to go out with me? I want to be with you forever.”
I picture Charlie’s smile growing wider, his dimples deepening as he says, “YES! Nick, I’m in lo—”
“Uh, how about we try that again but with a little less… that?” Otis says, breaking me out of my delusion, the bubble of bliss popping unceremoniously.

In Any Universe, In Every Universe, I'm Yours by orphan_account
Fandoms: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)

Summary
"Nick," the woman says. She looks at him, right at him, with an eerie calm that sends shivers down his spine. "Do you think you and Charlie are soulmates?"
"Well, you just said—"
"It doesn't matter what I said. Do you believe, deep down, in your heart of hearts, that you two are meant to be? That you two would find each other in any universe?"
Nick is positive that he'll wake up tomorrow and scoff at the things his brain comes up with when he's tired, heartbroken, and running on fumes and vodka lemonades. He knows all of this means nothing, and the woman in front of him isn't real, and this party isn't real, and none of this is real, and Nick is living in a nightmare. He knows he'll wake up soon.
Still, might as well tell the truth.
"Obviously. Yes."
The woman smiles. "Good. Then prove it."
Or, it's been minutes since Nick and Charlie broke up, and Nick is already desperate enough to use interdimensional time-traveling to fix it. Featuring alternate universes, angst, fluff, a quick stint as enemies-to-lovers, flower shops, Ferris wheels, and a touch of magic.

What's It Gonna Be? by PhoenixSpring
Fandoms: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)
28 Oct 2022

Summary
Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!
Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what's the harm?
An aged up AU. Our two favourite boys are at the same Uni, but don't know each other yet. Until a chance encounter on a night out that ends up changing everything.
TW for mentions of self harm, ED, past SA/NonCon - nothing too extreme I hope, but they're definitely mention as part of Charlie's story. It's mainly fluff?

Summary
A non-linear exploration of physical intimacy following trauma, based on my own queer experiences, and diverging from canon after panel 1358 of the webcomic. Watch Nick and Charlie grow up and learn what changes over a lifetime shared together. All acts age-appropriate at the time in-story.
ON HIATUS but this fic will be completed and the pause point is a pleasant place to wait, IMHO
