Summary
Charlie's heart ached at the thought of returning to his childhood home in Ely, Minnesota for the holidays. His mother, a woman consumed by her own religious-fueled homophobia, had made every family gathering unbearable until his graduation. Ben had always provided an excuse for Charlie to skip the painful encounters, but with Ben dead, he had no reason to avoid facing his estranged mother and the bullies that may still lurk in his hometown.
Will Charlie be able to mend the bridges his mother had burned? Can he get through grieving his former partner in the hopes of finding new romance?

Summary
After a devastating fire takes everything from him, Charlie is forced to move to Truham to live with his grandmother. Burdened by grief and the weight of starting over, the last thing he expects to find is his soulmate.
From the moment their eyes meet, Charlie feels something shift. A spark. A pull. Something that feels bigger than the both of them. But Nick and his friends are hiding secrets, and Charlie is about to become part of a world he never knew existed.
As their bond deepens, so does the mystery surrounding them. Sparks fly. Leaves float. The past refuses to stay buried. And the magic tying Nick and Charlie together may be the only thing that can save them—or tear them apart.

Summary
Nick is a primary school sports teacher; Charlie is in his final year of Uni and working in a book shop part time and they are still together. With a mix of Book and Show canon (I love Isaac and Oliver sue me lol) this fic is a story of Love, loss and finding family in unlikely places. Everyone is ages up so the Paris Squad are either working or at Uni and Oliver is a teenager. It is also my first attempt at writing a trans character and all the things I learnt are from trans youtubers. Side note, yes I call him Oli, it just makes sense with Tori...

Summary
It hits Charlie like a punch to the gut: if Nick hasn’t gotten up since they came home from the pub last night, Nick has been in bed for the past 16 hours. Sixteen hours. Sixteen. Hours. And he wasn’t even sleeping, as far as Charlie knows. The realization sends a cold wave of panic through him. This isn’t just tiredness. This is something else. Something worse.
Or
Charlie has just followed his boyfriend to Leeds for university, and everything is going to be perfect. That is, it was going to be perfect before Nick starts to withdraw further and further, and Charlie is forced to confront the terrifying reality that the person he loves most might be slipping away—and he doesn’t know how to fix it. With their future hanging in the balance, Charlie must navigate his own fears and insecurities while trying to be the support Nick needs.

Summary
It was strange, really. Charlie hadn’t known Nick for long, and yet, whenever he saw Nick come into the library he felt drawn to him. He remembered the first time that he noticed Nick in the library, situated on what would become his regular couch. At first, Charlie didn’t think much of it, obviously students would make use of the library as a quiet study space, and Nick was no exception. But somewhere along the way, Charlie found himself going out of his way to sneak looks more often than not.
Charlie couldn’t help but notice him.
The way that his fringe would flop into his eyes as he scribbled away at his notes, or how his nose would scrunch up when he was working his way through a difficult passage of text. Or how the corner of his mouth would tilt up in a grin when he started greeting Charlie on his way in. Maybe he imagined it, but it seemed like every time Charlie responded with his own grin and quiet, “hi,” that Nick’s eyes would brighten.

Summary
After a devastating relapse that leaves Charlie Spring in a wheelchair, he’s forced to confront the weight of his self-inflicted wounds and the fractured relationships he’s left behind. In a hospital where he’s receiving treatment, he unexpectedly runs into Ash, a former friend whom Charlie had cut off during the darkest period of his life. Ash, who has their own tumultuous history with mental health struggles, is now a nursing student working in the hospital.
As Charlie tries to navigate the pain of his past and the harsh new reality of his present, Ash’s return challenges him to confront what he’s been running from. Though Charlie is desperate to reconnect, his pride and self-doubt keep him distant, while Ash remains cautious, unsure whether it’s worth risking the ghosts of their past friendship.
In a tense series of interactions, Charlie slowly begins to unravel, revealing glimpses of the pain that led him to this point. Despite the bitterness, resentment, and overwhelming guilt, the two tentatively begin to rebuild what was lost—one broken conversation at a time. Can they both heal, or are they too far gone, stumbling towards an uncertain tomorrow?

Summary
“I’m sorry I wasn’t—” he glanced up and looked at the wow—breathtakingly gorgeous man right in front of him, “…looking.”
He had strawberry blonde, almost ginger hair that was parted on the side and a stubble that looks so perfect on him. He was taller than Charlie, tall enough to give him forehead kisses.
Charlie tried to brush away the thought or else he’ll combust.
“It’s okay, I didn’t see you either.” the man gave Charlie a warm smile and cocked his head, “I’m sorry if this is a bit forward, but are you new here? I haven’t seen you around before.”
“Yea, I just moved in.”
“Dada, we got presents again!” a little voice called.
They both looked to the girl tugging the hem of the man’s jacket. Dada? The taller man crouched to talk to the little girl.
Charlie laughed at himself silently. Of course, the hot and apparently straight guy has a daughter. Just brilliant!
or
Charlie moves back to Newcastle after living in London for a long time. He bumps into a cute guy when he was running out his building to go to the shops. Later, he finds out that the guy is the friend of his friend’s friend.
Is it a small world or just destiny?

Summary
Tori, Jane, and Julio are in a car accident on the way home from one of Michael's competitions.
Charlie is left to pick up the pieces and care for Olly.
*****
Please be warned that this story deals with grief, the loss of loved ones, and the loss of the life you thought you were going to have.If Charlie being orphaned is going to bring up things you would rather not deal with, maybe give this one a miss.
Practical note:
Text messages are shown in bubbles of various hues if you have Dark Mode/Reversi enabled some messages may be difficult to read.
Three options :
a) Turn off Dark Mode ( black on yellow is easier to read than white on yellow) OR
b) Turn off skins ( this will render the story in plain text) OR
c) Highlight the text to increase the contrast.Bookmarked by nick_spring95

Summary
Once the room clears, Nick takes a deep breath. “So, half-term. How have your exams been going?”
“Can I suck you off?”
Charlie is patient as Nick does a double-take at his request, staggering back and knocking over a bottle of tequila. He sips his vodka lemonade and waits.
“What, er—now?!” Nick splutters.
“Why not?” He’s emboldened now. This loop is quickly becoming hell on earth, but maybe it doesn’t have to be, not all the time. There are no consequences for him in the loop. Anything he does is forgotten the next day. Nick could scream at him, punch him in the nose, do whatever he wants—tomorrow, he’ll still be here, serving him a vodka lemonade with a shy smile. What has he got to lose?

Summary
Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.
—————
Or, Charlie is slowly having his soul crushed working as a barista, but at least he has the daily visit from his favourite regular customer to look forward to. A coffee shop AU.

Summary
Nick squares his shoulders and sighs. He wishes he still had a drink in his hand to distract him. “Sometimes, people think Charlie and I have this, like, perfect relationship. That we’re too good to be true—'cause we’ve been together for so long, and we got together so young, and we love each other. Like, it’s—” he searches for the word— “unsustainable, or something.”
