    Summary

    Charlie is struggling to afford his education. When he's approached by law enforcement to become an informant about the potential crimes of one of his uni classmates, Nick Nelson, he jumps at the chance to line his pockets. After all, Nick is the youngest son of French notorious crime boss, Stephane Fournier -- surely he knows everything going on inside his father's business, and he must be just as crooked.

    Nick Nelson wants nothing to do with his father, and wishes that everyone would stop assuming he's just like him. What he really wants is to become a primary school teacher, to guide children on the right path before they're "ruined" by their parents. Like he was by his father.

    But what will happen when Charlie and Nick meet, and their first impressions of each other are so very different from reality?

    (A little nod to 21 Jump Street set in an AU Heartstopper.)

    Summary

    Set between chapters six and seven of The Rules We Fake. One year after the real proposal, Olly and David are no longer pretending. Over three days together, as actual fiancés with nothing left to fake, they settle into what it really means to choose each other, again.

    Okay, that summary sounds a bit dramatic. It’s not, I swear. 🤭 We’re just joining Olly and David one year later for a lot of fluff, a lot of smut… and a couple of overdue conversations.

    The fic could probably work as a standalone, but reading The Rules We Fake first will definitely offer a better experience.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.

    Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.

    As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.

    A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.

    Summary

    Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.

    Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.

    Summary

    Charlie didn’t plan to fall for him.

    He definitely didn’t plan to fall for Nick Nelson, guitarist for Swanborn, when his own struggling rock band gets invited on tour with the indie darlings. Nick’s pure walking trouble in a Northern flat cap, with a crooked smile that gets under Charlie’s skin faster than he can shut it down.

    They’re on tour together for eight weeks. Shared stages, buses, changing rooms and glances that linger too long. Charlie tells himself it’s just physical, just flirting, just another distraction in the long line of flings he entertains himself with on the road. But under that brooding bad-boy facade, Nick watches Charlie like he matters. And for Charlie, that’s a whole lot of dangerous.

    Now they’re stuck on the same bus, in the same cities, circling each other with heat and hurt crackling destructively between them. Charlie wants to hate Nick. But some people just get under your skin and fucking stay there.

    Summary

    In a kingdom teetering on the edge of revolution, Nick Nelson has spent his life fighting for the Republican cause. His mission is clear: infiltrate the Royal Guard, earn their trust, and, when the time is right, kidnap Prince Charlie—the key to dismantling the monarchy once and for all. It should be simple. But the moment Nick lays eyes on the sharp-tongued, golden-hearted prince, everything begins to unravel. Because Charlie Spring is nothing like he expected. And as the lines between enemy and beloved blur, Nick is left questioning everything he once believed. Is he truly willing to betray the boy who has stolen his heart?

    Summary

    Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.

    He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.

    Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”

    xx

    A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

    Summary

    David has always resented Nick's good luck and favoured nature. However, when Nick brings his boyfriend around for dinner, David becomes infatuated with this god-sent lover and is determined to steal him from Nick.

    Inspired by the setting of the family dinner they have together in the comic but taking place when they're adults. (Charlie and Nick are 18 in high school and David is in university).

    Shoutout to @Cuckoo_chan on Twitter who I was inspired by with this INCREDIBLE David x Charlie piece. Check him out, he's amazing.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson flies to Almeria for a planned family holiday meet up, only to find out that his dad and brother are a few days delayed. Thankfully, at Casa Primavera, they (mostly) give a warm welcome and, despite holidaying solo, Nick finds himself somewhat enamoured by it all; with Spain, with the hotel, and, most of all, with one staff member in particular.

    It’s just a shame that summer flings don’t last forever…
