Summary
(Downsides of Dating The Infamous Charlie Spring Pt. 2)
Charlie was bored out of his goddamn mind. He was currently laying starfished on his bed just staring at the ceiling because… well because it's all he could really do.
He'd been out of hospital for about a week now and everything was just shit. He was stuck at home, completely unable to do anything, even his school work. He couldn't watch TV or look at his phone, doctor's orders. The one time he'd tried to check his phone just to see what time it was, he'd had a horrifically painful headache for the next half an hour.
Nick had been the one good thing about this whole debacle. Like clockwork he'd been at Charlie's every single day after school, staying until his mum kicked him out. It'd been the only time Charlie actually had something to take him out of his mind-numbing boredom.

Or: The Heartstopper AU where Charlie is a badass, but currently he's stuck in bed with a severe concussion.

TW: Discussions of Charlie's previous self-harm and bullying is discussed. Please read with caution.

Summary
Charlie came to a stop at the light, about to tell Nick it was time to go since he was almost back to his dorms, when he suddenly jolted forward. It took him by surprise, he couldn’t help the yelp that escaped him.
Nick was immediately talking, sounding far more panicked than Charlie even felt. “You okay? Charlie? Did something happen?”
“Yes, but I’m fine, I think someone just hit my car."
“Oh my god-”
“Just a tap,” Charlie jumped in, shaking his head and taking stock of himself. Nothing hurt, he barely even moved forward, the seatbelt saved him from smacking his head on the steering wheel at least. “I’m fine, but I’ve gotta go see what’s going on. I promise I’ll call you back in a minute.”

Summary
Charlie and Nick have been inseparable since childhood, their bond growing stronger through the years. Even after going to separate universities, they make it a point to see each other as often as possible. Unbeknownst to the other, both have been harboring deeper feelings, but fear of ruining their friendship keeps them silent.
One day, Charlie decides to take the leap—writing a heartfelt letter to confess his crush. They say putting your feelings into words makes it easier, but will it? Or will this letter change everything?Two plots, that will be posted simultanious. Chapter 1 is the same in both plots, it splits after that. Every update I will post 2 chapters. Plot A and Plot B.
Wanna read just one of them? Go ahead.
Wanna read one plot while it updates and the other when it is finished? Good choice.
Wanna read them at the same time? Also good, but try not to get confused like I was when I wrote this xD -

Summary
Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.
Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

Summary
"Okay, okay, no Tori," Nick finally spoke again, hands briefly raised in surrender until Charlie managed to get his lungs to work so he could relax the tiniest bit with the reassurance, "but I really don't want you to be alone like this, and even if I get on a train right now, I can't be there till late tonight at the earliest."
"I…I know."
"Go to my mum's."

Summary
Charlie is lost and alone, despite the bodies packed into the moving vehicle surrounding him. Just when he fears the floodgates are about to open, the train comes to a halt, and Charlie realises far too late that it’s his stop. He scrambles out of his seat, mumbling apologies to the large bodies blocking his way as he darts between them, desperately seeking the exit. When suddenly he runs smack into a brick wall.
...
Charlie took in a shaky breath, hoping to find the strength to ask the man what happened and how he got here. But before he can speak, the man abruptly stands and says, “I’ll go tell the nurses you’re awake. I’m Nick, by the way,” he adds as he turns and flashes a perfect, lopsided grin that makes Charlie’s insides turn to mush.

Summary
Charlie didn’t like fighting with his mum. He wasn’t trying to get into argument after argument with her, especially over the stupidest of things. Like at dinner, when Charlie couldn’t eat another bite of chicken or he’d fail his Maths exam the next day and she just wouldn’t get it.
“Charlie,” she’d said sternly, her arms crossed over her chest, her head tilted slightly up. Charlie was mirroring her with his arms crossed over his chest, but he was looking down at the unappetizing piece of chicken. “Failing your Maths test has nothing to do with what you’re eating and more to do with spending all night on the phone with Nick.”
Admittedly, Charlie had stayed on the phone with Nick overnight on Monday, but it was because he needed someone to stop him from hurting himself again. He needed to hear Nick’s voice, see his beautiful face, and focus on what was good in his life. He’d made Tori babysit him on the weekend, he couldn’t bug her again. And while he felt bad for keeping Nick up, his boyfriend insisted, and he watched Nick doze off well before Charlie did, anyway.

Summary
It hadn't occurred to him that he had never seen the visible reminder year nine had given Charlie.
And maybe, that was why the voice of Charlie's mother full of sniffling accompanied by a shaky, "Nick? I need to speak with your mother" caught him so off guard.

Summary
Queer Intentions had gathered a lot of attention and fame over the last year, and now with their first EP out and charting and a tour starting in a few weeks, it would only get worse. Charlie already had a pretty love/hate relationship with the whole thing. He was happy to be a drummer, and playing live was amazing, but people were invasive and loud and wanted a lot from him all the time.
That included fans, the record label, all his new managers and assistants, and a million other people.
“How long till I see you?” Charlie asked, despite knowing the exact countdown of days left in his head. Nick would be coming to him in 12 long days and then he’d have 4 weeks of Nick on tour with them. He wanted a change of subject, not to be reminded of what his life was going to be like very soon.
“12 long, long days,” Nick sighed. “And trust me, I’m ready to tell everyone to screw it and head down there right now,” he grumbled.

Maybe that was why it was so hard for him to bring his eyes up to Nick's when he finally came into the room, kneeling down in front of his knees and gently grasping his free hand.

Summary
(Everyone is 18+)
After years of bullying and a toxic secret relationship, Charlie Spring has had enough. Still meek and unsure of himself, he slowly comes out of his shell with the help of Nick Nelson. His separation from Ben isn't coming as easy as it should, but Nick has been a really good friend, though maybe he wants to be more than friends.Nick Nelson loves all things cute and puffy, so when the opportunity to research puff skeins with Charlie Spring comes up, he can't pass it up... even though he doesn't recall growing up with him. Maybe his reasoning for being around Charlie is a little less academic and more attraction... the way he thinks Charlie looks as cute as a Puffskein is unrelated.
