Summary
Professional dancer Charlie Spring has long been asking for a male partner on the celebrity dance show he works on. He finally gets his wish, but is told in no uncertain terms that this is just an allyship thing. So much for good representation.
Rugby player Nick Nelson learns that his manager has agreed to let one of the lads star in a celebrity dance competition with a male partner. It’s absolutely a PR stunt to quash rumours of homophobia in the league, but Nick is just excited to play this tiny part in queer TV history.
Romance is the last thing on either of their minds, but when they cross paths the night before filming is due to begin, 'something more' is bound to blossom.
tldr; this is a dance fic in name only, but it's really about the magic of queer joy and carving homes in safe places because the world sometimes sucks. Featuring crop tops and make up and healed Charlie and proud Nick and all the love in my gay lil heart.

Summary
There is a Year Twelve student sitting at their dining table, waiting for Charlie, a Year Eleven who hasn’t even taken his maths subject yet, to enlighten him on how to perform calculus correctly. Charlie can’t even let out the groan that’s building at the thought, because the other boy is looking at him expectantly, not taking his stupid honey-brown eyes off Charlie’s face.
Not just any Year Twelve.
Nicholas Nelson.
Captain of the school rugby team.
Friends with Harry Greene.
Charlie had started off unenthusiastic about the “peer tutoring” but this … this is a disaster. It may be a catastrophe. Of course, of fucking course, the universe had paired him up with one of the rugby boys. The rugby boy, really.
Could it get any worse than this?
Nick hates maths. Charlie hates tutoring. They just can’t seem to get along.

Summary
Otis is turning 16 and invites Charlie and his friends to his birthday party at the old Scouts Hall. Charlie sends a frantic message to the friend group chat for someone to pretend to be his boyfriend to rescue him from an awkward social situation. But Elle can’t find Isaac or Tao …
Set loosely during the ‘half-term hanging out nonstop’ era, if Nick was much more self-aware than he probably was at that point.
CW: derogatory ableist words: these kids curse themselves in their heads a lot! I’ve used ableist insults for this.

It's Almost Unnatural by planttaxonomy

Summary
The owner of one of Kent’s beloved boutique plant shops is a known bisexual disaster. The ‘For Lease’ sign in the window next door has been up for months, and Nick is dying to turn his little block into a queer destination with the assistance of the owners of the café across the street, girlfriends/meddlers Tara and Darcy.
Charlie is excited to finally open his queer bookstore with best friend Isaac. But at the same time, he's wrestling his way out of a bad relationship, and can't quite accept the kindness that the store owner next door extends to him while he stresses over his on-again, off-again boyfriend.
aka another AU loosely based on Alice Oseman’s minicomic Flower Shop, but add in a sprinkle of bookshop AU and a pinch of coffeeshop AU, and a whole lot of mutual pining.
Featuring trans!Charlie because I love him.

Summary
Charlie is a 23 year old living in a punk house in Portland, Oregon some time in the 2010s. He’s graduated from therapy, he’s got a great group of people in his life, he’s politically active, and he’s got a fantastic sense of fashion. And he refuses to let anyone dim his shine anymore, not after being forced back into the closet again and again by a series of horrible exes and an equally horrible mother. But what happens when heavily tattooed, chronically-single Charlie sees a clean cut all-American boy walk into a community organizing meeting who won’t stop looking at him with his kind hazel eyes?
This story is noncanonical and a big departure from Heartstopper but equally as saccharine, albeit rougher around the edges. Many scenes are inspired directly by Heartstopper, but this is a completely alternate universe where our characters are dropped into a completely different set of circumstances, on the same timeline as the comics. Namely, they are anarchists in America. See the endnotes for more about the inspiration behind this story.

Summary
Buzz is building around the queer extravaganza that’s planned for this season’s run with a bisexual Bachelor - England’s own star pro-rugby player Nicholas Nelson. But what are the showmakers going to do for twelve episodes if their Bachelor and one of the newcomer contestants have fallen in love at first sight?
‘Would you … kiss someone, in front of the cameras?’ Charlie asks, his heart hammering louder than the music in his ears. He moves his body again, feet squeaking closer to Nick’s, his finger where it lies along Nick’s finger on the floor suddenly pressing. He hitches in a breath as he feels Nick’s pinky finger hook onto his.
Nick looks at him, his head drifting slightly closer, then he takes a quick breath and looks away. ‘I don’t know … maybe?’ he says.
