Summary
A collection of Brenda/ Sharon drabbles inspired by The Drabble Collective's May 2026 AU-themed prompts.
Most of the drabbles will probably be stand alone, and AUs can range anywhere from simple canon divergence to coffee shop AU to fantasy AU. At this point, your guess is as good as mine!
Each chapter title will be the prompt word, which will also be used in some form in the drabble.

Summary
“You’re Nick and Charlie, so you’re gonna be fine.”
Spoiler alert: - we weren’t fine. Not even close.
Nick and I had believed we could make a long-distance relationship work. We loved each other, we were positive, and we were strong. But the distance between Truham and Leeds could have been a million miles; the journey lasted hours, train tickets took all our money, and I… well, I turned into a bitch. There’s no other word for it.
I pushed and pushed until Nick did something terrible. Something that broke us apart. Something that sent me spinning back into a relationship with a man who’d already abused me as a boy. The scars from that terrible time – mental, physical – followed me over the following six years.
And that’s when Nick found me again. Still playing with Queer Intentions. Directionless, miserable, still deeply scarred by the past.
But here’s the thing… we live in the same city now. The past is another country, so they say. Can we move past what happened?
Do I even want that?
Can we rekindle what we had before… or does it risk sending me into another self-destructive spiral?

Summary
This story is all about the unlikely ways in which a line of communication can be opened between two strangers, and all the ways in which that can be a portal to something unexpected. The basic premise of this story, the meet-cute as it were, actually happened in life, the subsequent Nick and Charlie of it all is entirely fictional and arose out of my need for a sweet and fluffy story. All the locations, names, dates and details have been changed to protect the unaware and are entirely fictional.

The Yellow Post-It Note by haarrisdroover

Summary
“I made breakfast,” he says, nodding his head in the direction of the bacon. “Do you have time?”
Ordinarily, I would. Whenever I stay overnight at Nick’s, I’m usually the one to see him off to his teaching job. I stand in the doorway with his hoodie and my boxers on, Daisy at my feet and a mug of coffee in my hands, and send him off to his car with a kiss or three, promising to see him when he gets back. Youssef usually meets us at Tara’s Café between nine and nine-thirty for coffee and appointment assigning, and to make sure I do eat, but there are times, like today, where one of us has an early appointment and he has no choice but to tell us to meet early. I hope it’s my turn to have the early appointment. This job is a lot easier if I can get my turn out of the way instead of waiting around like some kind of death omen.
I frown. “I wish but I have to meet someone at eight. I should actually get ready, I don’t want to be late.”

Summary
Eight years after Evercove fell to a coup, its royal children are finally free.
Princess Victoria arrives in Glenhaven ready to bury her grief beneath court lessons and war councils. Prince Oliver arrives wide-eyed and eager, having been born in a dungeon and never seen the world beyond stone walls. Prince Charles arrives silent, starving, and hollowed out by captivity, unable to leave the room he has been given.
Their mother was executed years ago. Their father, King Julio, is still trapped beneath the palace after choosing to save his children instead of himself. And the man who stole their kingdom still calls himself Grand Monarch.
For Prince Nicholas Nelson of Glenhaven, Charlie's return is both a miracle and a wound reopened. Before the coup, they were inseparable. Now Charlie flinches from kindness, mistrusts closed doors, and carries the shadow of Ben Hope, the Grand Monarch's son, in every silence.
As Queen Serina prepares Victoria to reclaim Evercove's throne and Glenhaven's court turns against its own unfit heir, Nick must prove himself worthy of a crown while learning that love is not the same as rescue.
Charlie survived the dungeon. Now he has to learn how to live outside it.

The Noise in the Garden by NotACactusCow for Lessthanthreehs
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)

Tags
Summary
In the Garden, purity is everything.
Desire is called Noise. Doubt is infection. Obedience is survival.
Nicholas has spent his life trying to be good — to silence every stray thought, to follow every rule, to trust that if he empties himself enough, he will be made worthy. But when his growing closeness with Charles begins to stir feelings he cannot name, the Garden takes notice.
What begins as whispers turns into discipline. What feels like repentance becomes punishment, disguised as love.
As loyalties fracture and faith grows thin, Nicholas must decide whether purity is worth the cost — and how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect someone the Garden has already condemned.
TLDR
In a rigid religious commune obsessed with purity, a young man’s forbidden feelings lead to trouble— and the unraveling of everything he thought was holy.

Summary
The Spring family had always spent holidays a bit differently than most people. Instead of using the time for relaxation, they used it to yell, blame, and scold. More often than not, Charlie had always found himself isolated from everyone in his room, music on blast, and trying not to think about going back to school once the break was over or leaving the comfort of his bed to face Jane Spring, both prospects equally miserable.
And so, he has determined that this year, his mission is to let himself have fun at his new home, Pelican Town’s, festivals. To let his past self have the celebrations he deserved, even if he was a ‘boring adult now’ according to his younger brother, Oliver.
He figures he deserved to have a few days of celebration with Nick and their friends after a year of terrifying unknowns.

Summary
March 2024: Nick and Charlie, platonic soulmates and partners in crime, are on the road trip of a lifetime around the beautiful and magical east coast of Australia.

September 2015: 13-year-old Nick Nelson has no idea who he is or where he fits in. Then 11-year-old Charlie Spring, anxious overthinker and raging introvert, crashes rather messily into his life and changes it forever.
A story about friendship, love and growing up, with a generous sprinkling of true travel stories, savage British banter and horny sparkles.

Summary
Nick and Charlie met at St. Sebastian's University as theology students, both investigating their vocation. Nick is set on the priesthood and following the traditional version of Catholicism he grew up with. Charlie is more interested in being the social justice-focused follower of Jesus outlined in the Bible. They do not like each other, and when they are reintroduced at the university and forced to teach a theology seminar on love, vocations, and health, they clash, in more ways than one.
