Summary
Charlie's future is set. He's going to go to Harvard, become a doctor like his father, marry a beautiful woman, have 2.5 kids... The usual. However, when his parents decide to drag their family to some resort out in the middle of nowhere in the Catskills the summer before he leaves for college, and he meets a handsome, cocky playboy dance instructor... Well, he might learn a few things about himself and what he really wants for his future...
(Loosely based on the movie, Dirty Dancing, but without the creepy 15/30 year old age gap and much more gay.)

Summary
"I dare Charlie to kiss...Ben!"
"No. No way," Charlie said, his tone final as he avoided Ben's eyes, avoided everyone's eyes.
Across from him, Ben scoffed. "That isn't even funny. I barely know Charlie."
"Oi, but that just isn't true, innit?"
Charlie's heart stuttered in its beats, sinking to his stomach.
*In Netflix’s Heartstopper, season 2, episode 6, Charlie is dared to kiss Ben Hope, who claims that he doesn’t know Charlie all that well. What if someone finally caught on to his lies?*

Summary
Continuing one year after Desperate ends- this is the story of Nick and Charlie navigating their relationship, the growing intensity of it, and the physical distance between them during Nick's first year at University of Leeds.
*
“Not without you. With you. Not physically with you, but you’re going to be part of it, Char. I swear. I want you to. I want to talk about this with you because I’m so excited to include you. I want you to visit and feel at home. I want you to have a drawer with clothes and a toothbrush and I can get you all your fancy hair stuff to keep at my place so you don’t even have to pack a bag. I can’t stop thinking about the fact that when you visit, we’ll have the room to ourselves the entire time. No one will interrupt, no parents will text, nothing. Just you and me and our own space. We can talk, we can have sex, we can maybe try new things…I can’t fucking wait.”

You Can Count On Me Like One, Two, Three (I'll Be There) by niccknelsson

Summary
Charlie’s heart thunders and it takes everything in him not to flee with her. Echoes of ‘she’s not ready’ cascade through Charlie’s mind and he’s about to make a snap decision when a new voice, deep and soft and sweet, floats through his ears.
“Hey, little one, what’s this all about, hm?”
Charlie turns his head to see a tall, handsome man with floppy blonde hair and big dark eyes, cooing over Astrid. Astrid stops whimpering and looks at him too, curiously. The man smiles and reaches out to take her.
“Come on, sweet-pea, let’s go see some of these lovely toys so Daddy can go.”
He swiftly takes her from Charlie and she screams and Charlie’s frozen. He stares between the new man and Imogen, unsure on what to do with himself. But Imogen takes the bag from him and nods to the door, silently telling him to leave with a reassuring gleam in her eyes.
So, with Astrid’s screams still in his ears, Charlie bolts

Summary
If you ask any theatre kid, they’ll agree that tech week is hell.
Not only is it infamous for being the most stressful week of rehearsals, but it gets especially overwhelming when your stage manager and your lead actor won’t stop arguing.
Unfortunately, it happens to be especially overwhelming for the University of Leeds at the moment.*** OR ***
An alternate universe where StageManager!Nick and Actor!Charlie meet on the set of their university’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. The only problem is that Charlie seems to hate Nick for reasons completely unknown to anyone.
Will they stop arguing long enough to realise that this hatred could be hiding something more?
This is a completely self indulgent theatre enemies-to-lovers au that I needed in the world. Enjoy (please)!

Summary
Charlie Spring was 95% sure he knew his sister’s number by heart. Unfortunately, that missing 5% has just led to him oversharing deeply humiliating details about his disastrous one-night stand—to a complete stranger. A stranger who, annoyingly, finds the whole thing hilarious.

Kaleidoscope of Loud Heartbeats Under Coats by planttaxonomy

Summary
Nick surprises Charlie with an over-the-top vacation to New York City to celebrate his 30th birthday.
Retired semi-pro rugby player Nick Nelson is now an underwear model. Charlie is a supportive trophy husband, and is hot as hell after top surgery and several years of testosterone. A fateful Instagram post turns out to be just the inspiration Charlie has been searching for in his life. An AU that nobody asked for, but I desperately need.
Plot includes new money husbands remaining laughably humble, trans activism, gratuitous imagery of naked men, Charlie feeling like he’s floundering in the shadow of his famous husband, making out in the backs of taxicabs, flashbacks to Nick and Charlie’s origin story, lots of sweet surprises for Charlie, and Nick’s expert fingers and tongue.
**Trans content written with the utmost respect by a trans author. If you’ve read other trans smut and hated it, hopefully this one will be redeeming.

It's Almost Unnatural by planttaxonomy
Fandoms: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)
01 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
The owner of one of Kent’s beloved boutique plant shops is a known bisexual disaster. The ‘For Lease’ sign in the window next door has been up for months, and Nick is dying to turn his little block into a queer destination with the assistance of the owners of the café across the street, girlfriends/meddlers Tara and Darcy.
Charlie is excited to finally open his queer bookstore with best friend Isaac. But at the same time, he's wrestling his way out of a bad relationship, and can't quite accept the kindness that the store owner next door extends to him while he stresses over his on-again, off-again boyfriend.
aka another AU loosely based on Alice Oseman’s minicomic Flower Shop, but add in a sprinkle of bookshop AU and a pinch of coffeeshop AU, and a whole lot of mutual pining.
Featuring trans!Charlie because I love him.

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.

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.
