    Summary

    "To a casual observer, it’s a propensity to stick my foot in my mouth. To my friends, it’s just another example of my bisexual panic rearing its glittery unicorn head. And that’s nice, really, that they consider this a cute little personality quirk, but they don’t know the horror of being unable to stop the stream of moronic nonsense spilling out of their lips. They don’t have to watch the object of their affection morph from interested to aghast with every passing second.

     

    I do.

     

    Over, and over, and over again."

     

    ------

    Or, what happens when Nick Nelson finally has a conversation with his crush, Charlie Spring, after avoiding it for twenty-three days.

    Summary

    Nick is sitting in his car, ready to head home, when a handsome stranger slides into the passenger seat. Nick expects the guy to apologize and leave—but instead, the boy drunkenly starts flirting with him, refusing to go. And, as it turns out, he’s exactly Nick’s type.

    The last thing Charlie expects is to wake up in his crush’s bed on a random Sunday. Nick Nelson has starred in Charlie’s fantasies since the moment Charlie stepped on campus, but Charlie had never mustered the courage to talk to him. At least, he hadn’t until last night…

    Or: Charlie is pretty drunk and waiting for Tao to pick him up from a university party. So, when he sees what looks like Tao’s car parked on the street, he slides into the passenger seat. What happens when he realizes he’s gotten into the wrong car, and instead of Tao, it’s Nick Nelson — his university crush — sitting behind the wheel?

    Summary

    Drummer Charlie Spring and semi-pro rugby player Nick Nelson - who are both totally heterosexual, by the way - sign up for new Netflix reality TV show Sex, Love, Rock 'n' Roll to get free private concerts and publicity, sleep with fit girls, and maybe win a cash prize at the end. What they don't realize is that they've actually been cast on Too Hot to Handle, where the prize fund drops after every instance of sexual contact.

    As for the fit girls? Fuck. They're going to be a lot more interested in each other.

    Summary

    AU where Nick had his bisexual awakening a bit earlier and is out to his mum and his closest friends. Sai, Christian, and Otis are supportive straight friends... really. But they're at their wits end with Nick endlessly pining over Charlie Spring, but never getting the guts to ask him out. So they offer to help Nick practise confessing his feelings to Charlie:

    🩷💜💙

    I take a deep breath and imagine that it's Charlie in front of me. It’s actually easier than I thought to visualise him, my friends fade away and my vision blurs as if there’s a fantasy filter on. And there’s Charlie, with a small smile, waiting for me to begin talking.

    “So, um, I had something I wanted to ask you.” I can almost see Charlie blinking up at me from those lovely long lashes of his, I clear my throat and let my heart speak. “Charlie… I wanted to tell you that I'm bi, actually. And… I'm in love with you. Do you want to go out with me? I want to be with you forever.”

    I picture Charlie’s smile growing wider, his dimples deepening as he says, “YES! Nick, I’m in lo—”

    “Uh, how about we try that again but with a little less… that?” Otis says, breaking me out of my delusion, the bubble of bliss popping unceremoniously.

    Summary

    Charlie’s beginning, middle and end of the day are the same. Try not to make any flowers, no plants that take out the school roof again like last year and no letting anyone see that he’s more than the freak everything thinks he is. Nick Nelson is making that extremely hard to stick by, however.

    Summary

    When Charlie Spring gets sat next to big 'rugby king' Nick Nelson, he is surprised to find he's not quite the asshole he expected him to be. However, being the only openly gay boy in the entire school he has to keep it lowkey and not let anyone know his feelings for Nick.

    Basically the same plot as the tv show, but with a bit more slow burn and angst thrown in there.
