    Summary

    He went to peek out of his room when he saw Tori at the top of the stars, her hand on the banister and her foot tapping the floor. She turned around as soon as she heard the door handle twist and looked at Olly, schooling her face into something else. Olly just stared at her, clutching a toy truck in his hand.

    Summary

    It’s not really jealousy, he thinks. He isn’t jealous that Ben got there first. It’s nothing like that. It’s the fact that Ben didn’t care, doesn’t care, about all the precious things Charlie gave him. Ben took and took from Charlie and gave nothing in return. The thought of him using Charlie, especially like that. It makes him sick. It makes him possessive. It makes him want to fall to his knees and offer himself completely.

    It makes him take off his jumper and hand it to Charlie just to see his smile.

    An exploration of how Nick and Charlie's relationship might have changed if they explored sex earlier and deeper.

    Summary

    "When Charlie Spring was little, he was known as a happy, exuberant, and imaginative child - universally liked by everyone in his orbit.

    Before long, circumstances began to slowly smother the optimism and excitement he exuded. He would grow up too much, too soon, making him withdraw and isolate."

    This is a story about a boy growing up in an environment where he feels he doesn't belong, he doesn't fit in, and all he wants is someone to stand by his side. Charlie's story is one of courage and resilience, of facing innumerable challenges yet still being true to himself, refusing to compromise on his innate values and beliefs. It is a story of hope.

    This fic will build a different backstory for Charlie, but his character will, in essence, be similar to canon. Charlie will meet Nick at uni. This is not a slow burn; once they meet, they are immediately gone for each other, and they will have their romance and happy ending despite some challenges and road bumps along the way. This is Nick and Charlie we're talking about.

    Despite the heavy angst tagging, there will be loads of fluff to balance!

    For the first time ever, I am creating original characters and it's been so much fun to do!

    Summary

    “What’s going on over there?” Elle said, sniffling. “I feel like I’ve missed something.”

    “Oh, not much,” Tao hummed. “It’s just that… Charlie wants to snog the next door neighbour.”

    Charlie groaned, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes. A flush painted his entire body the colour of the cherry tree seedlings outside.

    “Tao, come on,” Isaac said. Charlie thought, finally. They’ve had their fun and they’re going to leave it alone now. “Charlie wants to shag the next-door neighbour.”

    Summary

    This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry

    Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?

    Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.

     

    Nick, 23

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Face the world again, firm and courageous.
    Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
    like floods that are past and remembered no more
    Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
    and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn

    (Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)

    I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.

    This is a story about the light.

    Summary

    London is never the easiest place to find your soulmate; in 2020, it was a bigger challenge than usual. Young adults Nick and Charlie are about to meet on the cusp of history.

    Note: The first 44 chapters, about 78K words, are a teen-rated slow burn.

    Then the epilogues have various levels of smut (all tagged in chapter author notes): some have none, some are M and a couple are E. Heads up: We have more epilogues drafted or in notes and plan to move all the epilogues to a sequel Work when the rest are ready to share. That way, both parts can be properly rated and tagged in the main fic area. Thanks for understanding!
