Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

Summary
Charlie’s pretty sure bringing your uncle as a show and tell item isn’t the norm, but he’s willing to do almost anything for his niece, even subject himself to her Year 1 class. And hey, her teacher’s really handsome and funny and sweet… Maybe it won’t be too bad after all.

Summary
They studied together most nights, one of the study rooms in the uni library becoming their unspoken spot, and hung out most weekends. Over time, Charlie got to know her long-distance girlfriend, Tara, as well as her best friend, Sahar, who was at uni with them. She also had another best friend, an ever-elusive boy named Nick, who he’d yet to meet but was assured did exist.
Or, Nick and Charlie are part of the same friend group in uni but haven't actually met yet.

Summary
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.

skating Christmas carols by kay_lalala

Summary
What started as a favour for his friend Elle had quickly turned into a new-found hobby as soon as Charlie had laid eyes on the very handsome man with the kind smile handing out ice skates.
Ready to eventually hopefully finally make a move, Charlie discovers that maybe, he isn't alone in his pining after all.
Yes. Fluff ensues ♥️
⛸️❄️⛸️❄️⛸️
OR:
"...So yeah, visiting the ice rink had turned into an almost daily thing then. Or, to be more precise, into a thing whenever Charlie had spotted hot-ice-rink-guy was working. Which was almost every other day. Not that Charlie was keeping count of course. No, not at all.
Still, they never got further than exchanging an excited sounding ‘Hi, it’s you again!’ and a sheepishly breathed ‘Well, yeah. Hi!’ because there was always a line of giggling girls and boys waiting behind Charlie, urging him to move forward, obviously there for the same reason as him.
To skate and to get into the Christmas spirit, of course."
