    Summary

    When his shot is poured, Nick clinks the glass against Darcy's without bothering to ask what it is, tosses it back, and types six words above his 11 digits into the note. Darcy's cheering over his shoulder, effectively bursting his eardrum, the strains of a familiar song playing underneath their shouts.

    "Press share, press share!" they urge, a fist pummeling the back of his shoulder.

    On screen, a grey box displays the phones nearby that have AirDrop activated. "You know this is homophobic to Androids, right?" Nick says, eyes scanning the bubbles as they pop up.

    "Androids are homophobic, Nickleby."

     

    OR: Darcy dares Nick to AirDrop a note with his phone number to a random iPhone at a bar during Nick's seemingly endless summer of celibacy. Nick is drunk enough to do it. And there's a phone cleverly named Chuck Summer. Why the hell not?

    Summary

    Nick receives a dirty text from an unknown number.

    **This fic is currently on hiatus**

    While I was planning to return to this and complete it Sep/Oct time, life has taken an unexpected turn, and I just can't right now. I will come back to it one day, but I can't promise it will be any time soon. I'm so sorry to all those that have been following and waiting. Please stick with me. It will be back one day.

    Summary

    If Forget‑Me‑Not was about finding each other, Forget‑Me‑Never is about weaving two lives together.
    This second part picks up right where Part 1 left off, with Nick and Charlie becoming boyfriends. Now, Nick and Charlie are learning how to exist in each other’s worlds - meeting friends and family, sharing routines, making spaces that once belonged to one into places for two.
    But closeness brings vulnerability. Nick, for all his warmth, is forced to face the parts of himself shaped by past relationships - the habits of over‑giving, of losing himself in care. And Charlie, who loves in silence and soft gestures, begins letting Nick see the shadows he’s kept locked away: old traumas, lingering fears, and the quiet scars that come with survival. Their love doesn’t come with big speeches or sweeping gestures; it’s in the small, ordinary moments that add up to something extraordinary.

    YOU MUST READ PART 1 BEFORE THIS PART IF YOU WANT IT TO MAKE SENSE :O

    Summary

    Nick’s a primary school teacher with a dependable routine, a cupboard full of mismatched mugs, and a tendency to carry the weight of other people’s feelings. He isn’t looking for anything new—definitely not a florist tucked between a laundromat and a textiles store, with sleepy cats in the window and soft music drifting through the door.
    But the shop is warm. Quiet. A little overgrown. And the boy behind the counter has ink on his skin, dimples that appear when he smiles, and a silence that says more than words could. Charlie doesn’t speak, not out loud- but he writes labels like they’re tiny poems and arranges flowers like they mean something, if you know how to look. Nick keeps finding reasons to go back. For the bouquets, sure. But also for the stillness. For the boy with the dandelion behind his ear.
    Nick doesn’t know what he’s looking for. But every time he sees Charlie, something about him lingers- like petals pressed between pages, like soft scent on fingers, like the way you carry someone in your thoughts long after they’ve gone.
    What are you supposed to do when someone makes you feel like spring is coming back, one petal at a time?

    Summary

    Heartstopper Soulmate AU where any mark you make on your skin shows up on your soulmate's. A long time ago everyone had a soulmate throughout time that changed and at present they are so rare that most people think they are legends and made up fairytales. Nick certainly never believed in soulmates but he also has no explanation for the random words and marks that appear on his skin from time to time. He doesn't worry though, because they're harmless, so there's no use thinking about them. The story follows Nick as he figures out what a soulmate actually is and dealing with all the ups and downs that are associated with it. Along the way he finds guidance from both his mother and surprisingly his art teacher Mr. Ajayi.
