Summary
Sometimes it's easier to share your feelings with strangers who can deeply empathize than with your friends who can sympathize, and sometimes those same strangers turn out to be soulmates and found family.
A sample:
He watched as Nick and Charlie smiled at one another before bursting out in laughter at the ridiculousness of their own lame greetings.All three of them started speaking at the exact same time and each stopped short at the mutual interruptions:
“This slow guy is my–“
“Olly, who is–“
“Are you Char-“
The trio laughed together, but Olly said a silent prayer that he’d never be as lame as his otherwise lovely brother.
“Oh my god, you guys are so cringe! Charlie, this is Nick. Nick, this is my brother, Charlie.” Olly offered somewhat exasperatedly.
“You’re Charlie?” Nick stuttered.
“Um, yes? Are you Tori’s Nick?” Charlie responded.
“Excuse me, he’s my Nick, too.” Olly protested while Nick and Charlie laughed.

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.”

Summary
Charlie Spring owns the only flower shop in the village — and it’s also the only truly beautiful place in the midst of rural monotony. Sensitive, sarcastic, and meticulous, he works alone, surrounded by lavender and old heartbreaks. He loves his flowers more than he loves most people.
When Nick Nelson - a handsome, strange stranger who clearly has no idea what he's doing - buys a house on Charlie's street and opens an ill-equipped veterinary clinic, Charlie is immediately suspicious. But when Nick's bees start invading his greenhouse, damaging the flowers and driving away customers, Charlie officially starts to hate him.
Yet as the stings pile up and the forced encounters become unavoidable, they begin to realize that beneath the next-level hostility, there’s an attraction that’s impossible to ignore.

Summary
Charlie Spring is tired-tired of walking on eggshells, tired of being treated like a problem, a project, a burden. After one too many fights with his mum and years of carrying silent pain, something inside him finally cracks. But instead of screaming, he disappears. No note. No messages. No goodbye.
He ghosts everyone. Even Nick.
As the people who love him scramble to understand why he left and where he's gone, Charlie tries to find peace in the silence, chasing freedom in the spaces between heartbreak and healing. But running from everything doesn't mean you can escape yourself-and some ghosts are harder to leave behind than others.
A Heartstopper AU that dives deep into the weight of unspoken pain, the aftermath of leaving, and what it means to be truly seen when all you want is to vanish.

What Happens In Paris, Stays In Paris (Mostly) by KRollins

Summary
“Alright then. Who gave you the hickey?”
Charlie froze. He should’ve expected that. God, who’s stupid idea was it for him to join in on truth or dare?
“That’s not a fair question. That’s a personal question where I’m not the only one involved. It was someone on the trip. Let’s leave it at that."
“Come onnnnn, that’s not an answer!”
Charlie felt his blood boil. “Well it’s the answer you’re fucking getting, so drop it.” He spat.
Charlie could taste the blood in his mouth from how hard he was biting his tongue. He wanted to argue back so badly, but he physically couldn’t. Anything he said about the manner risked lowering the list of suspects. And outing Nick.

Summary
Charlie: You need to get in here. Now.
This wasn’t part of their Paris itinerary. This was not in their plans. And it was undoubtedly going to call a shit ton of unwanted attention to him. Something he was desperately trying to avoid on this trip. He didn’t want to cause a scene in Paris of all places.
He glanced up when he heard the bathroom door open. “What’s wrong?” Nick asked.
Charlie briefly hung his head and let out a humorless laugh, sounding a bit insane even to his own ears. He watched in real time as Nick’s eyes comically widened.
“Oh… my god.” He spoke in what could only be described was pure disbelief.
“Eh heh.” Charlie spoke as he was beginning to process the situation they had found themselves in. Truly, this would only happen to them.
“Di-did I do that?” Nick asked, still in shock.
Charlie gave him an incredulous look. “No, Nick, it was Tao who was sucking on my neck last night. Of course you did it!” He hissed through clenched teeth, watching as Nick’s face flushed scarlet at Charlie’s bluntness.
