Summary
"When Charlie Spring was little, he was known as a happy, exuberant, and imaginative child - universally liked by everyone in his orbit.
Before long, circumstances began to slowly smother the optimism and excitement he exuded. He would grow up too much, too soon, making him withdraw and isolate."
This is a story about a boy growing up in an environment where he feels he doesn't belong, he doesn't fit in, and all he wants is someone to stand by his side. Charlie's story is one of courage and resilience, of facing innumerable challenges yet still being true to himself, refusing to compromise on his innate values and beliefs. It is a story of hope.
This fic will build a different backstory for Charlie, but his character will, in essence, be similar to canon. Charlie will meet Nick at uni. This is not a slow burn; once they meet, they are immediately gone for each other, and they will have their romance and happy ending despite some challenges and road bumps along the way. This is Nick and Charlie we're talking about.
Despite the heavy angst tagging, there will be loads of fluff to balance!
For the first time ever, I am creating original characters and it's been so much fun to do!

Summary
Charlie Spring is a PhD candidate in Data Science at UC-Berkeley where he uses his supercomputing time to analyze large datasets. He sleeps on a mat under his desk in his cubicle because rent prices in The Bay Area are insane, and roommates suck. He spends his free time pestering his librarian friend, Isaac and volunteering a few hours a week at a local pet shelter. As a lonely data nerd, he decides to start dating on the “data-driven” OK-Cupid platform, but as a data scientist, he can’t help but to optimise his approach to ensure he’s conducting a thorough search for the right partner.
This fic is now posted in full.
There will be two short epilogue chapters added after the story is marked complete.The story was inspired by two fantastic true stories told on the Moth and Story Collider podcasts, respectively. I highly recommend you listen to them, but I'd wait until after you've finished the fic. The story will start T (for language, mainly), raise to M (starting at chapter 8) and will eventually earn the E rating for smut.
I live for your kudos and comments, so please leave both to let me know you're interested in this fic! Thanks!! Xoxo DotSeries

Summary
Charlie and his best friend Nick (who are totally platonic best bros) are planning a trip to Scotland for winter break, where Nick’s grandmother has a lovely cottage by the sea that’s sitting empty. The only issue: they have precious cargo that takes up a lot of space, and Charlie’s old VW Beetle isn’t well suited to transporting large items.
Enter Charlie’s other bestie, Tao, who recently had his heart broken and could use a change of scenery. Conveniently, Tao also has a four-door VW Golf with a backseat that can accommodate their needs for a 10-hour drive from UCL to Inverness.

Summary
Charlie Spring is fighting in Egypt in World War II, just trying to survive and not have his sexuality discovered when a handsome Chef shows up and the rules he had put in place start to break down.
What happens when you find love, somewhere devoid of hope and can that love survive when fate contrives against it?
I wasn't sure I was going to tag this as a happy ending because I wanted to keep you guessing but then I remembered I probably wouldn't read it without that tag so rest assured the love can survive....

Summary
He’d die without touch.
As a necromancer, Charlie surrenders a piece of his soul with every spell cast. Perpetually cold, and yearning for warmth, the only remedy is human contact. But that is difficult to find when his dark powers scare people far from his side. Nobody trusts a man who commands the dead.
Least of all a paladin of the Radiant Order.
Nick remains bitter and broken after his last lover drove a blade into his back, and he has no desire to court further darkness. When he agrees to escort the wandering necromancer northward, he’s providing nothing but a public service.
He never expected Charlie to be so clingy. Or distractingly attractive.

Summary
Nick scrolled down to the listing, skimming over the official information provided, before reading the actual ad.
Clean, spacious, two bedroom with attached loo, flat in Rochester. Rent includes shared utilities, which also includes internet and telly. Renter must be LGBTQ+ friendly. Looking for a renter, ASAP. Please contact [email protected] with inquiries.
It wasn’t a whole lot of information, the listing had been up for nearly a month now and Nick wondered why. The place looked nice, had a great price and the LGBTQ+ friendly statement didn’t detour him at all.
Feeling rather brave, he sent off an email.
Hi, my name is Nick Nelson and I’m interested in renting your room. I know it’s last minute but I’d be available anytime tomorrow if you are. Thanks!

Summary
Charlie Spring is doing well at uni for the most part. That is, aside from his complete lack of a romantic life and his inability to write a believable love story for his creative writing course as a result. Will Nick Nelson step in and help him on both fronts?
What do you think?
OR
Next in my series of stories where I avoid writing really upsetting angst because it's the festive period and I don't want to be sad.

Summary
Charlie Spring is twenty-four. He has a job he mostly loves, a flat in Kentish Town, friends who would do anything for him. He has, by most reasonable measures, put himself back together after losing not one person he loved, but two. But October always comes around. And with it — the anniversaries, the absence, the ghosts of the past and the old question he stopped asking a long time ago.
A Heartstopper post-canon story set in London, six years after school.
This is a story about grief and what it leaves behind. About finding each other after years of silence. And about the small, unexpected ways the people we've lost (and a taxidermied cat) still find ways to lead us back.

Summary
“Isaac and I made a bet. About Mr Golden Retriever. My money was on jock, but he was convinced you’d got with another nerd.”
“In my defence,” Isaac retorted, “I thought he worked here!”
Charlie made an involuntary choking noise. He disguised it under a cough, which—thankfully—wasn’t too hard to pull off in his current state. “What made you think that?”
Nick and Charlie are totally keeping it lowkey at work, until a shared cold gives them away.
