    Summary

    “And... well. Maybe Charlie shouldn’t have judged a book by its cover, but the book didn’t need to be so fucking rude about it. Charlie scoffs as Nick walks away and decides his gut feeling was definitely correct: Nick Nelson is a complete dick.”

    or

    Five times Nick and Charlie pretend to be fake boyfriends to get them out of a situation - Oh, and they hate each other. Kind of. Maybe. Probably? – and one time they don’t have to pretend.

    Summary

    Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈

    Summary

    Another Theatre AU... that probably isn"t going where you might think it"s going.

    ***

    If Nick was friends with Harry, then he was almost certainly an entitled cockwaffle. Charlie felt his momentary surge of attraction fade. This boy was clearly going to be trouble.

    Strike One: Late.

    Charlie caught Imogen smiling encouragingly at Nick. The freckled young man flushed slightly, and gave her a grateful smile back.

    Strike Two: Straight.

    “You’re just in time, Nick,” Nathan said warmly. “Now that we are all met, welcome everyone…”

    Charlie turned to give their acclaimed director his full attention, but could not help but continue to observe Nick out of the corner of his eye. He was shrugging off his Carhartt jacket and placing it over the back of his chair, revealing the distinctive jersey underneath.

    Charlie’s jaw clenched.

    Strike Three: Rugby Lad.

    That settled it.

    Outside of whatever might be necessary for the good of the production, Charlie wanted absolutely nothing to do with Nick Fucking Nelson.

    Summary

    Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he"s not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!

    Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what"s the harm?

    An aged up AU. Our two favourite boys are at the same Uni, but don"t know each other yet. Until a chance encounter on a night out that ends up changing everything.

     TW for mentions of self harm, ED, past SA/NonCon - nothing too extreme I hope, but they"re definitely mention as part of Charlie"s story. It"s mainly fluff?

    Summary

    Summary

    The Tokyo Olympics are over. Nick has left France for the UK, where he will rejoin the British gymnastics team in his pursuit of the 2024 Olympics. Charlie is well on the road to recovery from the ill-timed knee injury that dashed his 2020 Olympic hopes, and is now once again training alongside his best friend. Oh, and they"re boyfriends now!

    Nick and Charlie may finally be ready to be together, but is the rest of the gymnastics world? Can they have their happily-ever-after and make their Olympic dreams come true, or will they have to choose?

    This fic will make no sense unless you"ve read part 1!

    Summary

    Nick squares his shoulders and sighs. He wishes he still had a drink in his hand to distract him. “Sometimes, people think Charlie and I have this, like, perfect relationship. That we’re too good to be true—"cause we’ve been together for so long, and we got together so young, and we love each other. Like, it’s—” he searches for the word— “unsustainable, or something.”

    Summary

    Six years ago, soon after Charlie started uni, Nick and Charlie broke up. And their lives have been fine since. Really. It’s fine.

    Then they run into each other at a wedding, and it ignites a spark they had long since thought extinguished. But they can’t be long-distance again, they know it doesn’t work.

    A relationship, anyway. The sex still seems to be good.

    So maybe just a little bit, then. Once a year. This is too good to let go of completely. Right?
