Summary
“You’re Nick and Charlie, so you’re gonna be fine.”
Spoiler alert: - we weren’t fine. Not even close.
Nick and I had believed we could make a long-distance relationship work. We loved each other, we were positive, and we were strong. But the distance between Truham and Leeds could have been a million miles; the journey lasted hours, train tickets took all our money, and I… well, I turned into a bitch. There’s no other word for it.
I pushed and pushed until Nick did something terrible. Something that broke us apart. Something that sent me spinning back into a relationship with a man who’d already abused me as a boy. The scars from that terrible time – mental, physical – followed me over the following six years.
And that’s when Nick found me again. Still playing with Queer Intentions. Directionless, miserable, still deeply scarred by the past.
But here’s the thing… we live in the same city now. The past is another country, so they say. Can we move past what happened?
Do I even want that?
Can we rekindle what we had before… or does it risk sending me into another self-destructive spiral?

Summary
“They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt
Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.
Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.
Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

The Noise in the Garden by NotACactusCow for Lessthanthreehs
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)
01 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
In the Garden, purity is everything.
Desire is called Noise. Doubt is infection. Obedience is survival.
Nicholas has spent his life trying to be good — to silence every stray thought, to follow every rule, to trust that if he empties himself enough, he will be made worthy. But when his growing closeness with Charles begins to stir feelings he cannot name, the Garden takes notice.
What begins as whispers turns into discipline. What feels like repentance becomes punishment, disguised as love.
As loyalties fracture and faith grows thin, Nicholas must decide whether purity is worth the cost — and how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect someone the Garden has already condemned.
TLDR
In a rigid religious commune obsessed with purity, a young man’s forbidden feelings lead to trouble— and the unraveling of everything he thought was holy.

Summary
Nick scrolled down to the listing, skimming over the official information provided, before reading the actual ad.
Clean, spacious, two bedroom with attached loo, flat in Rochester. Rent includes shared utilities, which also includes internet and telly. Renter must be LGBTQ+ friendly. Looking for a renter, ASAP. Please contact [email protected] with inquiries.
It wasn’t a whole lot of information, the listing had been up for nearly a month now and Nick wondered why. The place looked nice, had a great price and the LGBTQ+ friendly statement didn’t detour him at all.
Feeling rather brave, he sent off an email.
Hi, my name is Nick Nelson and I’m interested in renting your room. I know it’s last minute but I’d be available anytime tomorrow if you are. Thanks!

Adult Nick & Charlie
Two part series • Episode OneWhen journalist Charlie Spring is assigned to interview rugby captain Nick Nelson, he expects a straightforward profile. Instead, he finds a man more thoughtful, and more compelling, than the headlines suggest.
Nick's life is lived under stadium lights and public scrutiny. Charlie's has always been built on observation, on telling other people's stories. Crossing that line was never part of the assignment.
But in professional sport, timing is everything. And some futures are already written.

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
After Nick and Charlie broke up at that party, Nick has been in despair and longing. He tried to get back with Charlie and apologize for lashing out at him, but Charlie won't even answer his calls and messages.
Nick went to Leeds University because he wants to keep playing in rugby teams, even though it's 3 and a half hours away from Charlie. He's still worried about being so far from Charlie, even though they've already broken up.
You were a transferee at Leeds in the middle of the semester. You persuaded your parents to transfer universities because you were being bullied and made fun of by your classmates and seniors. You're studying AB psychology, so it is hard to catch up with the requirements from each of your professors. One day, there was a Sports day at your university, and the rugby team was playing against another rugby team from another university.
That's where you see Nick huddling up with his teammates...

He hoped.
He fucked like it was the last time he'd ever get the opportunity, perhaps because he knew even then that this would never happen again.

Summary
Nick and Charlie have been married for three years and have decided they wanted to start a family. Charlie has tried to fall pregnant for over a year, and despite the doctors saying there's nothing wrong, it isn't happening. After a particularly bad reaction to a co-workers pregnancy, Charlie decides to stop actively trying and just see what happens. Fast forward to Charlie's next appointment where Nick throws up in the trash can. Surprise?
This is an AU where mpreg is totally normal - no omegaverse (though there's nothing wrong with that!). This idea has been rolling around in my brain for almost a year and if I keep rewriting it I'll never post it, so here it is.

Summary

September 2015: 13-year-old Nick Nelson has no idea who he is or where he fits in. Then 11-year-old Charlie Spring, anxious overthinker and raging introvert, crashes rather messily into his life and changes it forever.
A story about friendship, love and growing up, with a generous sprinkling of true travel stories, savage British banter and horny sparkles.

Summary
A Summary:
Our beloved Heartstopper protagonists, Nick & Charlie, mostly true to the original characters, but their story with an AU first meeting. This is a happy, fluffy love story with some necessary angst for plot, but no trauma or deaths are expected, and a happy ending is guaranteed!A Sample:
"I know what an amazing person you are, Nick. Truly amazing. You’re so kind and generous, and you’re a wonderful friend, and I’ll be here for you whenever you need me. I don’t want to lose touch again, if that’s something you’d want, too.”They looked at each other for a moment until Nick smiled and replied, “Of course, Charlie. Of course, I want to stay in touch. We just found each other again and I don’t plan on letting your friendship go ever again! That’s it, you’re stuck with me.”
“Oh noooo, how terrible. How will I ever cope with having one of my favourite people in my life forever?” Charlie replied cheekily.
* Author's note: This fic was on hiatus from 3.24.2024 - 2.16.2026 and is currently an active WIP again!

Summary
My axe was the first thing that belonged to me.
Everything we have – from the West boundary to the East – belongs to Papa, but this axe is mine.
I've replaced the handle twice in the past three years; the daily usage means that the wood wears away smooth in the shape of my palm until it becomes too brittle to survive the hard thwack of the head against the logs that are my job to chop. Each time I fix it, I carefully copy the letters of my name from the old wood to the new:
N-I-C-H-O-L-A-S
Or
Nick and his Papa have lived in the woods for as long as he can remember, convinced that they're the last humans alive. That is, until a strange boy stumbles into their clearing.
