Summary
"When Charlie Spring was little, he was known as a happy, exuberant, and imaginative child - universally liked by everyone in his orbit.
Before long, circumstances began to slowly smother the optimism and excitement he exuded. He would grow up too much, too soon, making him withdraw and isolate."
This is a story about a boy growing up in an environment where he feels he doesn't belong, he doesn't fit in, and all he wants is someone to stand by his side. Charlie's story is one of courage and resilience, of facing innumerable challenges yet still being true to himself, refusing to compromise on his innate values and beliefs. It is a story of hope.
This fic will build a different backstory for Charlie, but his character will, in essence, be similar to canon. Charlie will meet Nick at uni. This is not a slow burn; once they meet, they are immediately gone for each other, and they will have their romance and happy ending despite some challenges and road bumps along the way. This is Nick and Charlie we're talking about.
Despite the heavy angst tagging, there will be loads of fluff to balance!
For the first time ever, I am creating original characters and it's been so much fun to do!

Summary
This is a fluffy story about two boys who meet as children on summer holiday. I think it's the fluffiest thing I have ever written, but I think you're the judge of that lol.
I don't know how this ended up being such a long thing, but the words just kept on flowing? This work was not beta read, but I hope there aren't too many errors.
Hope you enjoy!

Summary
This is a reimagined first week after Nick and Charlie have their beach date and become "official" boyfriends (although in Nick's mind this is not new news). It starts with Sunday evening, with Charlie reminiscing and daydreaming of the amazing day they had.
But it can't be smooth sailing, because of course it can't, but we will see these two sweet idiots in love work through this first speed bump as boyfriends.
Happy end is a given, this is Nick and Charlie we're talking about!
Special thanks to shtooff for beta reading - I live for your comments!!

Summary
After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.
AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
Also some angst! But always a happy ending.**Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**

Charlie Spring! Handsome…clever…talented…funny…kind… Nick sighed, watching Charlie’s dimples reappear as people greeted him.
He really does unite all the best blessings of existence, Nick mused as Charlie wove his way through the crowd.*****

A Heartstopper story inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma.
