    Summary

    The prompt was Nick and Charlie accidentally adopt a pregnant cat, and I promise there is Nick, there is Charlie and there is a pregnant cat, but because I am me, there is also angst, there is Ben ‘fucking’ Hope, there is Enemies to Friends to Lovers, there is the Paris Squad, and, you will be relieved to know, there is an eventual happy ending.

    Summary

    “You’re gonna nab the first fit guy that walks by. You need a date to this wedding. We have about two days to get you one,” Elle says, then looks at Charlie from beneath her lashes. “And we will.”

    Charlie swallows, vexed.

    And then (world-shiftingly, life-alteringly):

    “Hi.”

    or, Charlie meets Nick and invites him to Tori's wedding where she is marrying her soulmate. Charlie begins to realize he may have met his own.

    Summary

    I had a vision of Nick driving cross-country for hours…. and then this absolute mess came out of that one singular image in my brain. Apologies to all, of course.

    Set in the US, aged-up, break-up AU. Remember though–I don’t do sad endings.

    It clearly got way too far away from me to be a one-shot, so yes, there will be a few more chapters. But, it's about 93% written, so if my beta is up to it, maybe posted once a day? Get this holiday fluff out of the way already ;)

    Summary

    this is mostly oatsie and siska's fault for coming up with an irresistible prompt. with a marginally lesser amount of blame ascribed to kaz and henry for creating such incredible stories and worlds that the spin-offs literally write themselves, as we've all seen time and again.

    the fic is for the "outrageous declaration of love" challenge.
    the characters are stolen from henry_amargosa's Love Bites and kareliaskiss' Vinaigrette.*
    the plot is my same old tired obsession with time and crack.
    the final judgement is yours alone.

     

    *(excuse the lack of links but--old and technologically challenged. yes i know there's a place to link below if this work was inspired by another, but can you link TWO?)

    Summary

    “I can’t believe she just said ‘fuck’ to the boss,” Charlie blurts out.

    There’s a pause. A smile lifts one corner of Nick Nelson’s mouth. There’s a freckle just above that corner, which Charlie tries very hard not to stare at. This man is indecently handsome.

    “One of the first things my mum told me about, after I’d agreed to take over the Sydney office, was all the fucks,” Nick Nelson says, amusement in his voice. Charlie’s eyes fly back to his. “She told me not to be offended.”

    The man in front of him is probably the hottest man Charlie has ever seen in real life. He’s built like a rugby player with swollen thighs and burly shoulders stretching his expensive suit trousers and crisp dress shirt. The swell of muscle fighting the tailored fabric is making Charlie’s throat go dry. What right does the CEO of a company have to make his business attire look like a sex-sells high-end cologne ad?

    Summary

    Please READ THE TAGS, noting that the tags contain spoilers.

    This is a canon-divergent story that starts after the fight in the novella Nick and Charlie. At the start of this story, after a summer during which the breakup does not get resolved, a heartbroken Charlie sleeps with David to feel close to Nick.

    I originally tagged this work as a dead dove because the David / Charlie tag did not exist at that point. Now that it does, people can filter this pairing out if they would prefer not to see it.

    If you would like to read the story but would prefer to skip the part where David and Charlie sleep together you can head straight to chapter 2.

    I have been blown away by the response to No Way Back. Thank you to everyone who commented, chatted to me about it, or wrote their own story - it's an amazing thing to see and I've loved reading them all 💖

    Summary

    “Nicky I, I promise I wasn’t snooping. I was doing the wash and I turned out your trouser pockets like I always do and”
    Sarah placed a letter in the middle of the table.
    Nick's heart dropped into his stomach. It was one of his letters from Charlie. He could see Charlie’s signature at the bottom of the page.

    All my love, Forever yours
    Charlie

    How could Nick explain this away?
    “Charlie is a very special friend, isn’t he?” Sarah said delicately, still watching her son with that look he couldn’t understand.
    ...........
    Nick and Charlie meet for the first time at an all-boys boarding school in the year 1936. Despite the expectations of society the two boys fall deeply for one another even as the looming cloud of another great war begins to descend over England.

    Tao got the chance to go back in time and undo his worst mistake. Tao prevented Charlie from being outed or bullied. Tao changed things enough that, the second time around, Charlie didn't get assigned the seat next to Nick Nelson in form.
    …Fuck.

    Or: the Butterfly Effect sucks, and if Tao has to take desperate measures to ensure his friend's happiness, he will. He draws the line at Iron Man 2 though, someone has to keep some standards around here.

    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

    “What’s going on over there?” Elle said, sniffling. “I feel like I’ve missed something.”

    “Oh, not much,” Tao hummed. “It’s just that… Charlie wants to snog the next door neighbour.”

    Charlie groaned, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes. A flush painted his entire body the colour of the cherry tree seedlings outside.

    “Tao, come on,” Isaac said. Charlie thought, finally. They’ve had their fun and they’re going to leave it alone now. “Charlie wants to shag the next-door neighbour.”

    A chance encounter on a bus ride to a toboggan run leads to love at first sight.

    What will fate do if you lose sight of each other again but are meant to be?

    Nisérable (he/him) 00:57am
    What? No way! You also met someone on a bus and didn’t ask for their number?

    JarJar_Lee (he/him) 01:01am
    Yeah. He sat next to me and we talked until we were up the hill and got off the bus. Then we lost sight in the throng of people. I still don’t know how it happened because there was only one way to go down that mountain and that was by sledge. When I didn’t see him anymore at the start of the toboggan run, I hoped I’d see him again at the foot of the mountain but no. I was devastated as I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone right from the beginning.

    Well maybe aside from you here, but you’re not really sitting next to me, you only exist in my phone, haha!
