    Summary

    He went to peek out of his room when he saw Tori at the top of the stars, her hand on the banister and her foot tapping the floor. She turned around as soon as she heard the door handle twist and looked at Olly, schooling her face into something else. Olly just stared at her, clutching a toy truck in his hand.

    What happens between Olly and Tori after Charlie leaves the house when Jane has flipped on him for asking to sleepover at Nicks

    Summary

    It’s not really jealousy, he thinks. He isn’t jealous that Ben got there first. It’s nothing like that. It’s the fact that Ben didn’t care, doesn’t care, about all the precious things Charlie gave him. Ben took and took from Charlie and gave nothing in return. The thought of him using Charlie, especially like that. It makes him sick. It makes him possessive. It makes him want to fall to his knees and offer himself completely.

    It makes him take off his jumper and hand it to Charlie just to see his smile.

    An exploration of how Nick and Charlie's relationship might have changed if they explored sex earlier and deeper.

    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

    “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.”
