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
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
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
Charlie Spring is thrilled to be part of Nathan Ajayi’s production of "Hamlet", but Elle and Tao are worried about him. He swears he’s fine... but they can’t help feeling like Charlie is hiding something.
Tara is ecstatic when her childhood best friend is cast in "Hamlet." After a rough start, it becomes clear to everyone that Nick is talented. However, the newcomer to London is cagey about his past- and his present, for that matter.
Nick and Charlie are each determined to keep their secrets to themselves.
The universe, and their meddling friends, have other plans.
A Theatre AU full of queer joy, meddling, secrets, spice, drag, dancing, drama, friendship, found family, fencing, flirting, angst, a few third act plot twists, far too many baked goods, and whole lot of iambic pentameter.

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.”

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
Once the room clears, Nick takes a deep breath. “So, half-term. How have your exams been going?”
“Can I suck you off?”
Charlie is patient as Nick does a double-take at his request, staggering back and knocking over a bottle of tequila. He sips his vodka lemonade and waits.
“What, er—now?!” Nick splutters.
“Why not?” He’s emboldened now. This loop is quickly becoming hell on earth, but maybe it doesn’t have to be, not all the time. There are no consequences for him in the loop. Anything he does is forgotten the next day. Nick could scream at him, punch him in the nose, do whatever he wants—tomorrow, he’ll still be here, serving him a vodka lemonade with a shy smile. What has he got to lose?

They were obnoxious enough just knowing that Charlie was a band geek and a book nerd but he lived in fear of them finding out he was also gay. The thought gnawed at his insides constantly.
