    Summary

    Charlie fell first... but Nick fell hardest.

    This is a retelling of heartstopper season 1 through the eyes of our favourite bi-sexual golden retriever. Join him on a journey of self-discovery and all the complications that come from falling for your best friend.

    Rated Teen for moderate language including a few tastefully placed F-bombs and a couple of not-so-tasteful F-slurs throughout the story. I will provide warnings on the chapters that include the slurs.

    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

    Summary

    “Nick,” Charlie spoke firmly, snapping Nick back to attention. His gaze was trained on Nick, a tinge of desperation seeping into his voice. “Do you not know who I am?”

    Nick hesitated a moment. He wracked his poor, throbbing brain one last time for some memory of the boy in front of him. He wished so badly that he could tell Charlie something else, anything else, and not cause him more anguish.

    “No, I'm so sorry. I don't remember you.” And then, because he couldn't seem to stop his big mouth. “Should I?”

    ***

    An AU where Nick and Charlie met and get together in uni. Nick has an accident during a rugby game that leaves him with memory issues. Charlie has to help navigate Nick's recovery while dealing with the pain of his boyfriend forgetting him.

    Summary

    Few people have them. Quirks. Powers. Charlie has one, and he can’t decide if it’s the most unique thing about him or the absolute worst. Most of the time it’s just a bit irritating, if he’s honest.
    Then Charlie meets Nick. And Nick is different. Different in a way that opens new doors for Charlie. Different in a way that helps Charlie learn to appreciate himself and this quirk of his identity.

    - - -

    Welcome to the world of this (soulmates?) AU, a magical realism reimagining of S1 if it took place in a version of reality where your personality could give you superpowers, and it’s sometimes great and sometimes terrible, but Nick and Charlie fall in love in every universe.
