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.

Primavera by Yee_333 for CadburyOreo

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…

The Boyfriend Contract by kingdomfaraway for LisWrites
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)
08 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Anytime Nick got drunk, or even tipsy, he’d come up with things for the boyfriend contract. Things that Charlie had apparently signed off on, despite doing no such thing. In the past it included things like, taking pictures of any dogs spotted in the wild, always dancing to any ABBA song (Charlie could not understand why this was important), consulting Nick before any haircut could take place and once, after drunk Nick fell and scraped his knee, kissing all booboos better.
Most of the time they were things Charlie was already doing, and didn’t need a contract to want to do, but sometimes it was silly hypothetical things.
(Or Nick is a little high on pain medication and says some silly and fun things to Charlie)

A Heart That Sings but Doesn't Make a Sound by kingdomfaraway

Summary
Back when they started three years ago, it was just him and Ben fumbling around on their phones, making terrible pornography that people seemed to enjoy anyway. When Ben upped the production value, he saw it return tenfold in viewership and money, which also invited more people to send in requests.
The first time they brought in a third, it had been exhilarating, a new dynamic that Charlie thought brought a lot to what they were doing. They’d discussed boundaries before, especially when requests started pouring in for Charlie to do a lot of sexual (and sometimes oddly, nonsexual things) and Ben was respectful of them.
(or Charlie and Ben are an OnlyFans couple and while Charlie enjoys the work, he's left yearning for a life away from what he's found himself in. It doesn't help that his best friend, Nick, lives down the hall and when he's there, Charlie gets a glimpse of a much easier and happier life he could be leading.)

Summary
A doctor steps in and blocks his way. “Sir, you can’t go in there!”
“No, no, no,” says Charlie, “you don’t understand—”
“Are you family?”
“No, but—”
“Family only,” he informs him sternly, disappearing behind the glass door. The doctor joins the throng of medical personnel surrounding the man’s body, and when they wheel the gurney out of sight, Charlie staggers back from the glass wall like he’s been punched.
Shock and helplessness coalesce within him. Inexplicably, he finds himself laughing, his trembling fingers lifting to his lips to contain the mirthless giggles that spill forth. “Oh, God,” he whispers. “I was going to marry that man.”
The nurse at the desk drops her jaw. “Oh, luv.”

Summary
“Yeah. Sure, okay. I’ll do it,” Nick mumbles. “Two weeks? That won’t be so bad.”
God, what has he gotten himself into? Confident, social Nick is long gone, swept away with dirty diapers, sleepless nights, scraped knees, and, oh yeah, an absentee partner. Fuck, when was the last time he spoke to Megan? Alex was two, so . . . four years ago? Not that he would change any of this. Of course not. Alex is the best thing that ever happened to him. Peaking in college isn’t so bad, right? It’s him and Alex against the world now. And Charlie’s about to be a part of their world, at least for two weeks.
🍂 🍂 🍂
Nick is a 30-year-old single dad and teacher living in Ohio. Charlie is a 29-year-old university professor and author living in London. When Charlie takes a temporary teaching position with Ohio State, Tara convinces Nick to let Charlie stay with him and his son. It's only for a couple weeks, until Charlie finds a more suitable arrangement. But what if this arrangement works out better than either of them expected?

Summary
“Does it make me a terrible person that I’m glad someone else is having a worse week than I am?” Charlie asked.
“Nah,” Isaac answered. “Maybe you should message Nick and commiserate together.”
“Oh, yeah!” Elle said happily, eyeing Charlie’s face down mobile. He grabbed it, stuffing it in his pocket to prevent her from having it. “Best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”
(Or Charlie Spring is an actor, whose ex Ben Hope is being a massive asshole. Nick Nelson is a rugby player who just got outed. Both need a bit of a image rehab, so what else is there to do? Fake date of course.)

It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.
That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.

Nick and Charlie are reunited after five years when Charlie moves back to Truham. Charlie is determined to correct the worst mistake of his life and get Nick back. Can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?
