Top 10 Nick x Charlie fics Iโ€™ve read (March 2025)

The weather app had promised sunshine. Nick and Charlie had dressed accordinglyโ€”Nick in a light blue polo and shorts, Charlie in a loose t-shirt and ripped jeans. The summer air was thick with warmth, cicadas humming in the distance as they arrived at the park for an afternoon walk. The scent of sunbaked grass mixed with the faint sweetness of flowers, the breeze whispering through the towering trees. Everything about the day felt lazy and golden, a picture-perfect summer afternoon.
Dadโ€™s asleep when I enter his room, carrying his lunch. Itโ€™s not unusual, he takes naps more often now than ever before and the doctorโ€™s had told us not to worry, itโ€™s normal. Heโ€™s nearly a hundred years old now, I guess thatโ€™s what is expected when youโ€™ve been alive for nearly a century. He looks really small in the King size bed, we talked to him about maybe downsizing, but he insisted on keeping the bed he shared with Papa. I donโ€™t blame him, really, it was hard enough getting rid of Papaโ€™s things as it was. A lot of stuff we kept, his jumpers untouched, his older Vans piled in the small closet on top of Dadโ€™s old Converse. Papaโ€™s keys are still in the bowl by the door, itโ€™d been ages since he touched them before he passed, but now itโ€™s too difficult to move them.
โ€œHey, Mum?โ€ Sarah glanced over with a small smile as she continued washing the dishes. โ€œHm?โ€ โ€œHow do you flirt with boys?โ€ Or an accidental 5+1 of Nick failing epically at flirting with Charlie, and one time he's kind of okay at it
Charlie is a first year at Leeds and keeps running into his flatmateโ€™s friend, Nick. When he starts developing a crush, he realises it may not be as one-sided as he originally thought.
Nick receives an invitation from Jane Spring that he wasn't expecting. A look into Nick and Charlie's relationship with each other and Jane from their university years.
"No um," She flushed and ducked her head. "It's someone you haven't met, someone new." "Ah." Nick preemptively poured himself more wine. "Is this someone you want to date?" He asked as gently as he could. Her face instantly shifted to disgust. "Ugh, dad, no one says that anymore." Her blush deepened. "But yes. Kinda." Or, Nick is a single parent to a teen girl, who is overjoyed to be in her first relationship. The only problem? Nick is developing feelings for Charlie, the dad of his daughter's girlfriend.
Nick and Charlie forever. But someone else in Hamlet House fell for Charlie too.
Itโ€™s when Stan pushes a curl off Charlieโ€™s forehead with a tender finger that Nick realises heโ€™s never seen Charlie, like, canoodle with a boyfriend before. How can that be right? Heโ€™s had every chance to observe Charlieโ€™s dating behaviour with all of his recent exes, but for some reasonโ€ฆ heโ€™s literally never seen Charlie kissing a man? โ€ฆโ˜•โ˜•โ˜•โ€ฆ Nick and Charlie are neighbors, best friends (don't tell Tao), and bros being pals. Because he's the best mate a guy could have, Nick sets Charlie up with Stan. Unfortunately, when he sees Charlie and Stan with each other, Nick feels Some Type of Way. Things devolve from there. Featuring pining!Charlie, oblivious!Nick, exasperated friends, and relentless ribbing.
โ€œLooks like Taoโ€™s becoming more of a romantic than you.โ€ โ€œNo,โ€ Nick said, looking appalled. โ€œNo. I refuse to accept that.โ€ โ€œHe does have better pet-name game,โ€ Isaac observed. โ€œโ€ฆThus far.โ€ They let those words sink in. โ€œYou know what that means, Charlie?โ€ Nick said slowly. Charlie knew full well what it meant. โ€œWe already have pet names, though,โ€ he pointed out. โ€œDork and idiot.โ€ โ€œYeah, but theyโ€™re not, like, romantic, are they?โ€ Nick and Charlie decide to experiment with pet names. Things get a little out of handโ€ฆ
โ€œYou lookโ€ฆโ€ โ€œSwashbuckling?โ€ Charlie offered. โ€œBetter than my pirate dreams,โ€ Nick breathed. He wasnโ€™t even joking. He felt like something had just awakened inside of him. Charlie snorted. โ€œOh my god, Nick. Now, will you help me withโ€”โ€ Nick grabbed the wig from Charlieโ€™s hand and tossed it behind him. โ€œCan I kiss you?โ€ Charlieโ€™s eyes widened. โ€œNow?โ€ โ€œIโ€™d rather not get a bunch of synthetic beard in my mouth, soโ€ฆ yes?โ€ In answer, Charlie kicked the bedroom door closed with the heel of his black leather boot. He grabbed Nickโ€™s frilly white scarf and yanked their faces together. A not-so-serious study on Nickโ€™s Pirate Thingโ„ข. Inspired by Alice's Halloween art.
