Summary
It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.
That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.
or
Nick and Charlie are reunited after five years when Charlie moves back to Truham. Charlie is determined to correct the worst mistake of his life and get Nick back. Can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?

Summary
When Charlie Spring's dad gets relocated for work, Charlie and his siblings are forced to leave behind their lives in New York City and start over in a tiny town in South Carolina.
Charlie hates it.
He hates the heat, the smell, the lack of public transportation, the casual homophobia, and the fact that half the town seems emotionally invested in high school football.
Then he meets Nick Nelson.
Nick is a farm boy, a quarterback, and annoyingly nice. He's also funny, patient, ridiculously attractive, and somehow determined to drag Charlie through every small-town summer tradition imaginable.
Charlie keeps telling himself they're just friends.
Unfortunately, that becomes harder to believe with every passing day.

Summary
Charlie raked his eyes across the audience, the spotlight pointing directly at him making them faceless figures out there in the shadows. One hand locked into the edge of his midnight blue cape and swept it up and around in front of him as he pulled his black silk top hat deeper into his curls with the other hand.
“Welcome, one and all!” he boomed as his arm dragged the heavy fabric back the other way. “Bienvenidos al Circo del Chaval Chalado!”

Summary
First Light - Between darkness and sunrise lies a glimmer of hope and the promise of a new day.
27-year-old Nick Nelson finds himself living temporarily back at home with his mum following the end of his rugby career and his long term relationship. Needing a new focus he finds himself trawling the internet one night and discovers a mesmerising opportunity, the kind of opportunity he'd usually be quick to turn down, because that's what he's always done, stayed safe, taken the obvious path, and look where that's got him!
Deciding to go for it, he's expecting hard work, long hours and no social life.
What he's not expecting are a whole host of new neighbours and friends, including one who makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself.
However, Nick is hiding a big secret. A secret that, if revealed, could drive a wedge between him, his new friends and the one person he never knew he needed in his life.- Language:

Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.

Summary
Osnat, a young beekeeper in the temple of the Egyptian holy city, stands apart because of her ability to communicate with bees. But when her beloved bees teach her the truth of the Egyptian gods, Osnat decides to discover it for herself––and risks her life in the process. Her only chance to save herself lies with Zafnat-Panea, Pharaoh's new vizier.
As they work together, Osnat is compelled by the mysterious desert god whom Zafnat-Panea serves almost as much as she is drawn to the handsome vizier himself. And Zafnat-Panea finds comfort with the quiet beekeeper whose tenderness soothes the pain of betrayals in his past. The day of fate approaches. Entangled between gods, kings, and bees, Osnat’s faith––and love––are her only path to survival.

Summary
From the Scots word for ‘seal’, a selkie was a seal who could take on human form. A common element in all the selkie-folk tales, and perhaps the most important, is that in order to shapeshift, they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay the power to return to seal form, and therefore the sea. If this sealskin was lost, or stolen, the creature was doomed to remain in human form until it could be recovered. The most common theme in selkie folklore is one in which a cunning young man acquires, either by trickery or theft, a selkie’s sealskin. This prevents her from returning to the sea, leaving the selkie with no choice but to marry her captor.
—🌊—
In which Nick, a Scottish fisherman, develops an all-consuming crush on Ben Hope’s beautiful and mysterious new boyfriend, Charlie.

Summary
After a decade of living together, Charlie, Isaac, Tao, and Elle are renegotiating what being friends looks like in light of big life changes. Professor Charlie Spring/running coach and self-defense instructor/rugby coach Nick Nelson meet at a professional development meeting for coaches at the community center: friendship and accidental (?) flirting ensues. Tara and Darcy become each other’s people in this messy thing we call life. Imogen and Sahar show the meaning of home, in all its glory. This aged up American AU Heartstopper is a love story–a story of love for my college town, a story about (sometimes complicated) love for rural homes, a story of falling in love, and a story that celebrates and dignifies the love of friendship and other deep, non-romantic, loves. Because when everything feels like it’s falling apart, love is what holds us together.

But it was possible it was even earlier. Maybe it was the moment Charlie first sat down next to him in form and breathily muttered hi."
