Summary
It hits Charlie like a punch to the gut: if Nick hasn’t gotten up since they came home from the pub last night, Nick has been in bed for the past 16 hours. Sixteen hours. Sixteen. Hours. And he wasn’t even sleeping, as far as Charlie knows. The realization sends a cold wave of panic through him. This isn’t just tiredness. This is something else. Something worse.
Or
Charlie has just followed his boyfriend to Leeds for university, and everything is going to be perfect. That is, it was going to be perfect before Nick starts to withdraw further and further, and Charlie is forced to confront the terrifying reality that the person he loves most might be slipping away—and he doesn’t know how to fix it. With their future hanging in the balance, Charlie must navigate his own fears and insecurities while trying to be the support Nick needs.

Summary
This whole thing is for a different type of person—the type of person who posts thirst traps on the internet to get more followers, knows who Molly-Mae and Tommy are, and dreams of one day meeting the Kardashians. Nick doesn't do any of these things. But here he is, on an island in Greece, about to walk into a reality TV dating show like it's just another Tuesday.
Or
Nick signs up to appear on the first season of "Are You The One," a reality TV show that promises a brand new take on matchmaking that will lead to his one Perfect Match. What Nick wants the most is to use the show to come out to the world as bisexual, but to win the prize Nick needs to figure out which one of his housemates he's meant to be with, no matter how futile he thinks this will be—but he starts to believe the whole 'Perfect Match' thing might be real when he meets Charlie Spring.

Summary
Tao scoffs, crossing his arms. "Wanting to try anal wouldn't make me gay. Anal isn't a gendered thing, Darcy," Tao says. "Anyone can do it."
"Ohhh!" Dracy's grin turns wicked. "So you have thought about it!" Then, Darcy gasps, their eyes lighting up with a mischievous glint that honestly terrifies Nick. "Or you've already tried it?"
"I'm not—I didn't mean—" Tao starts to protest, but his voice gets lost in the sound of everyone's giggles. His cheeks are a bright red, but he's smiling, a little sheepishly. "I haven't tried it. I just mean it's not strictly a gay sex thing. Like, gay people don't have a monopoly on anal sex."
Darcy cackles from their spot on Tara's lap, the sound ringing through the room like a bell. "Well if you ever decide to stop thinking about and want to try it," they say, poking his side playfully. "I'm sure Nick would let you fuck him up the arse. Everyone knows he's kind of a slag."
OR
Nick and Tao are both too scared to tell Charlie and Elle how they feel about them so they might as well take their sexual frustration out on each other instead.

Summary
The worst part of traveling on a student budget, other than surviving on ramen noodles and haggling with locals, is the bed situation. Somehow, no matter how hard they try, they can never find a place with enough beds for everyone to have their own. At least this time they get their own room. Nick and Charlie have been friends for so long, it just makes logical sense for them to share. It's really no problem. Well, there's one problem—every time that Nick spends the night with Charlie tucked into bed next to him, Nick just ends up achingly hard, squirming under the covers instead of actually getting any sleep.

How much sorrow can I take? by The_Masked_Bandit

Summary
"For the first three nights, Charlie listened to Nick cry himself to sleep. He didn't do anything about it, not daring to move a muscle until the soft sniffles coming from the bed next to him stuttered to a stop. It always took Nick around thirty minutes to exhaust himself, but each time was more harrowing than the last. Because, while Charlie lay awake under his covers, squeezing his eyes shut and begging for the gods to have mercy on this boy, he realised something earth-shattering.
Nick was exactly like him: shape-shifting was just an elaborate way of hiding. Just like Charlie, and despite his seemingly perfect character, Nick desperately longed to disappear."
•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•
Pushed over the edge by a negligent family and unrelenting bullies, Charlie makes the wish to disappear, and becomes completely invisible overnight. He’s admitted to the Daffodil clinic, a specialised treatment centre for mental diseases that influence the appearance of young people. There, he meets Nick, a boy whose physique changes depending on who he’s talking to…

Summary
Nick wanted to have sex with his boyfriend. Or, rather, he wanted to want to have sex. He wanted the pleasure and intimacy promised by sex, and he wanted that deeper connection with Charlie. But so far, he had no desire to do anything more than kissing, and the mere thought of going further sent him into a panic. He was having a proper full on…some sort of crisis… Again…

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
Charlie came to a stop at the light, about to tell Nick it was time to go since he was almost back to his dorms, when he suddenly jolted forward. It took him by surprise, he couldn’t help the yelp that escaped him.
Nick was immediately talking, sounding far more panicked than Charlie even felt. “You okay? Charlie? Did something happen?”
“Yes, but I’m fine, I think someone just hit my car."
“Oh my god-”
“Just a tap,” Charlie jumped in, shaking his head and taking stock of himself. Nothing hurt, he barely even moved forward, the seatbelt saved him from smacking his head on the steering wheel at least. “I’m fine, but I’ve gotta go see what’s going on. I promise I’ll call you back in a minute.”
