Summary
After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
___Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.
___
This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

Charlie and Nick are roommates. They even share the same bed. Never at the same time, mind you.
Also, they have never met in person.
That’s impossible?

Summary
Nick and Charlie are childhood friends who do everything together and now that they're horny teen boys that includes watching porn and enjoying a cheeky wank together. Only problem is Nick is "straight" and thinks Charlie is, too. When Charlie tearfully comes out as gay to him, Nick is super supportive... He loves Charlie so much and promises that this new information won't change their friendship at all... except that it totally does, in ways neither of them could have imagined.
Spoiler Note about the Underage Warning
Nick and Charlie are the same age as Season 1 canon in this. They engage in a lot of masturbation while in each other's presence and Nick has sexual thoughts and dreams about Charlie. They also watch pornography together. All of these events are described in explicit detail. So if that's outside of your comfort level, feel free to give this one a pass.

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.

Summary
Bracing himself for the arrival at Embankment Underground Station, he waited for the tube to slow down before getting up from his seat and stepping off, his hip reminding him once more of the fact that he was ageing continuously.
He hadn’t walked two steps when the tannoy started blaring.
“Mind the Gap”
Confusion flitted across his face momentarily before realisation hit him hard. It wasn’t his husband’s voice making the announcement. It had been replaced with someone, something else.
OR:
Nick was the voice of the London Underground announcement and Charlie keeps returning to the same station over and over to listen to his husband talk, but one day, the voice is gone. Will it return?

Summary
Travelling by train to Rochester, Charlie casually reads a bit of smut to kill time until he gets distracted by teeth in painful places and a very handsome stranger sitting opposite him.
Turns out: Charlie knows this stranger, but it's not from secondary school nor from uni; he's his biggest fan, but it's not because of rugby or any other sport; he has already proposed to marry him, if only to his brain.
One thing he learns: meeting your favourite can turn your life upside down in the best of ways ♥️

Another 'love at first sight whilst on a train' story, this time involving smutty fanfiction as a conversation starter - and Ken.Series

Summary
Today's moment of Heartstopper joy is a scene where older Nick and Charlie enjoy a sunrise and reflect on where they've been and what lies ahead of them. (Please note the content warnings and tags.). Apparently I can't write anything less than several thousand words, lol, so grab a cuppa and settle in. 😉
We've also got an AMAZING illustration from Olivia at the end of the post, so make sure you catch that as well! Hopefully you can zoom in on your device and see all of her incredible details. She says it was over 11,500 brush strokes!! 😲

Summary
Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.
—————
Or, Charlie is slowly having his soul crushed working as a barista, but at least he has the daily visit from his favourite regular customer to look forward to. A coffee shop AU.

Summary
Charlie has graduated from the Royal Veterinary College. Now that he’s newly graduated, he’s hoping to gain further experience at a clinic in London. A nice, clean, modern clinic where he would see a variety of small, well behaved pets.
Instead, he finds out he is going to the Yorkshire Dales to assist a regional vet during the lambing season.
Charlie is less than thrilled and is determined to hate it. Wouldn't you know it though-there is a ginger farmer on the local Nelson farm who finds the stubborn, grumpy vet quite intriguing.

Summary
“What’s going on over there?” Elle said, sniffling. “I feel like I’ve missed something.”
“Oh, not much,” Tao hummed. “It’s just that… Charlie wants to snog the next door neighbour.”
Charlie groaned, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes. A flush painted his entire body the colour of the cherry tree seedlings outside.
“Tao, come on,” Isaac said. Charlie thought, finally. They’ve had their fun and they’re going to leave it alone now. “Charlie wants to shag the next-door neighbour.”
