    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

    Charlie feels himself relax completely into the touch, and into the sense-memory of last night, splaying his now-warm hand across Nick’s stomach to feel him breathe. When he lays a head on his chest, he can feel Nick’s heart thudding steadily beneath him: it’s the rhythm Charlie lives his life to.

     

    Or, a day in Nick and Charlie's lives.
    Title from True Blue, Boygenius.

    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?

    Summary

    “I may always be like this.” Charlie breathed it out, quiet into the small space between his lips and Nick’s ears.

    “Mm.” Nick cuddled deeper into Charlie. “I’d love to always be like this. I wish it could always be like this.”

    “No, I mean I may never get better.” The words tasted bad as they left his month.

    Or, Charlie grapples with the reality of maybe always being mentally ill while Nick just wants to have him in his life forever.

    Summary

    “A light in the dark shining your love into my life. You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you. I’m everything I am because you loved me.”

    I was looking for some married!Narlie chapter fics and was having trouble finding many, so I wrote my own! I blurred the lines with the comics and show (I love both SO much). Oliver is included and now a teenager, but I wrote about Isaac instead of Aled. Character likeness belongs to the brilliant Alice Oseman. I am following the timeline already established in the comics, so Nick just turned 29 while Charlie is 27, and their pup, Daisy, is approximately two.

    Recent praise for BYLM:

    “Quite simply this is my favorite fic right now.”

    “This is truly one of the best Narlie fics ever!! Read the whole thing in 3 hours!”

    “The invisible hairs on my arms stand on end as I am made to read one of the most stunningly beautiful things I've read in my life.”

    “THE ONLY version that feels like canon to me.”

    Summary

    Charlie was more than ready to settle in bed with Nick for the night. He eagerly chased his boyfriend up the stairs towards his room, making grabby hands for Nick’s sweatshirt.

    “Oi, give me a minute,” Nick grumbled, batting Charlie's hands away as he tugged at the hem of the jumper. “Charlie, I’m literally trying to take it off, for you!”

    “Well, you aren’t taking it off fast enough, so I thought that I could give you a hand.” He gave Nick a cheeky grin and nearly sighed in happiness when Nick tossed him his sweatshirt.

    “Your pajama pants are in your bag, right Char? I can grab them for you.”

    Charlie was so enthralled in swapping his cardigan and t-shirt for Nick’s jumper; still warm and smelling like his boyfriend that he failed to hear not only Nick, but the sound of his bag being opened. It wasn’t until Charlie heard Nick’s gleeful, “oh hello!” that he remembered what exactly was in his bag.

    --

    Charlie's spending his first night over at Nick's, and he's quite nervous about bringing Kitty with him and what his boyfriend's reaction will be.

    Summary

    Nick had never in his life met anyone that he clicked with so easily, and Charlie had all but verbally confirmed he felt the same way. They became best friends faster and more easily than either of them thought to be possible before meeting each other.

    Which is why Nick finds it to be so confusing, when Charlie calls him up and mentions that he just got home from a date, that he feels a sudden strong pain in his chest.

    _

    Or: Charlie starts dating someone, but him and Nick are clearly just pining for each other.

    “You aren’t concerned that this might be a bad idea? I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize our friendship.”

    “It’s just a kiss,” Charlie says innocently, practically batting his naturally dark lashes, “A kiss isn’t going to ruin anything.”

    All Nick can think is, You’ve already ruined me, Charlie Spring. I don’t have to touch you to know that your existence has ruined my chances of falling for anyone else the way I’ve fallen for you.

    or: it’s been a while since nick or charlie kissed anybody, so nick suggests a way to fix that…

    Summary

    As much as Nick trusts in their love and commitment to each other, the idea of marriage lingers like a tantalizing possibility just beyond his reach. He wonders if Charlie feels the same pull, if he dreams of a future where they exchange vows and build a life together officially recognized by the world.

    or

    Nick is contemplating his possible proposal to the love of his life.
