Reset by kingdomfaraway [G]

The English countryside passed in a blur, as Nick’s head laid against the cool train window. He was barely focused on what was happening, eyes dropping closed every once in a while, the motion and sound of the train lulling him into sleep. He didn’t have a great night’s sleep to begin with, he rarely slept well unless he was with Charlie now. As the scene out the window started to become more cityscape and familiar looking, Nick took out his mobile, checking his message with Charlie. Nick: on the train home, miss you No new message from Charlie greeted him, making him turn his mobile face down on the tray out in front of him. (or Nick & Charlie have a silly miscommunication but they are still idiots in love.)

you're still cute, even covered in spots by roxykris [G]

Nick comes down with the chickenpox and is quarantined in his room, miserable, itchy, and increasingly stir-crazy. Charlie hasn't had chickenpox, so he's relegated to the hallway or the other side of the room—but he's determined to help Nick through it, one ridiculous drawing, forehead thermometer, and forehead kiss-blown-from-a-distance at a time.

this loving could save me (this love isn't crazy) by riverdanceeee [T]

Ideally, realistically, statistically, hell, probably even astrologically—Nick and Charlie are not supposed to last. But it's just so fucking fun to prove people wrong.

'Cause All I Really Want is to Be With You by kingdomfaraway [T]

At the 30 minute mark, Tao had to pause the film while Charlie and Jake got up to get everyone a refill on their drinks. The second they were gone, Darcy was up and punching him in the shoulder. “Oh my god, you are so jealous, I love it.” “Darc,” he said glaring at her. “It’s not funny.” “No it’s funny,” Elle said grinning. “You get all flustered and it’s just fun to see you being a hot mess for once.” Nick glared at them. “Jokes on you, I’m a bisexual disaster all the time.” “You know Charlie only has eyes for you, yeah?” Tara asked him. “You don’t need to worry.” “I’m not worried,” Nick insisted. “Everyone gets jealous, everyone’s allowed a bit of jealousy,” he said, remembering what Charlie had said to him.

a game of number roulette by kay_lalala [T]

It *could* be some kind of wrong number plot Just narrowed down to the very small world that is this room ~unknown number true. so i guess it’s more like some sort of number roulette in a very safe lgbtq+ environment Oh, yeah, number roulette defo fits better “Do I have the number of the absolute hottie standing near the bar, smiling at his phone? Or did I draw the number belonging to that girl with the beautifully dyed rainbow hair?” Nobody knows ~unknown number well, guess you’re lucky and pulled the hottie because the one with the rainbow hair is Darce… and i’m not Darce So, you’re hot? 👀 ~unknown number I did imply that, didn't I? so much for a good first impression OR: At a party where the only way to get to know each other is by text-messages, two randomly matched strangers start talking…

Dare Me by 7ate9 [G]

Dared to kiss James? No. Dared to kiss Ben? Hell no. Dared to kiss Nick Nelson? aka: if Charlie hadn't asked for a truth and the girl told him to kiss Nick (and if Nick said fuck it)

must be love by notmyfandoms [M]

“Well, Nelson, best find yourself another drink and perk up because we are about to play a classic game of Truth or Dare and no way in hell am I letting you escape this one!” Nick suddenly felt a cold beer bottle thrust into his hand, and he popped the top and took a swig in preparation of the game about to come. As is the case whenever you stick 18+ year old boys in a room together, the game got raunchy very quickly. or, Nick is hopelessly in love (and horny) for Charlie during a game of 'Truth or Dare.'

spin the bottle by thetomkatwholived [T]

And now, on the last night of the Paris trip, Charlie was sat next to Nick in the girls’ room as everyone played a big game of Spin The Bottle. Meaning if (when) the bottle landed on Nick, Charlie would have a front row seat to him kissing someone else. Or, Nick and Charlie haven’t gotten together yet when the Paris trip rolls around, and a game of spin the bottle threatens to change things.

two can play this game (and win) by thirteenick [T]

Charlie Spring is a Twitch streamer and Nick Nelson is a YouTuber. They meet, fall in love and… Well, they try to keep it a secret. They manage, for a while. And then they don't. It's totally not Nick's fault that that happens (it is).

i'm staring at the only thing i want by intothestorm [T]

“How are you?” Nick scans Charlie's face. “Wanna make sure you’re okay.” “Nick,” Charlie chides in that playful, bashful tone that Nick loves so much. “You’re the one who just had a panic attack. I’m totally fine.” Nick’s entire body tenses. “What?” “What?” Charlie looks at him nervously, probably feeling the way Nick had immediately tensed up. “What’s wrong? Did I say something? I’m sorry-” “We banned the S word,” he says distractedly. “You- you said I had a…” “Panic attack?” Charlie finishes, as if it’s obvious. “Yeah.” Nick is aware that he sounds ridiculously freaked out, but he can’t exactly hide that. What on earth is Charlie talking about? “I- I didn’t have a panic attack, Char.” Now it’s Charlie’s turn to look at him like he’s got three heads. “What? Yes, you did.” “No, I didn’t,” he insists. “Trust me, that’s just- that just happens sometimes.” ━━━━━ (aka: somebody please help nick nelson understand that he does not have sunstroke)

It's Nick's fortieth birthday and he has a lot of complicated feelings about it.

put my name with yellow hearts by bookinit [T]

The question, though, is this. In the last two weeks, have you fantasized about someone of the same gender? Unwittingly, Nick thinks of the Great Pencil Debacle. About Charlie’s lips. Guiltily, he clicks yes. After all, there’s no point in taking the quiz if he’s just going to lie. — A short re-imagining of Charlie and Nick’s first kiss, because I’m obsessed with them.

The Decline of the Art of Subtlety by writeitininkorinblood [T]

Sarah’s not sure if she’s getting more perceptive or if Nick and Charlie are just getting far less subtle, but it becomes increasingly clear to her that they have a physical relationship. Or: 3 times Sarah Nelson had her suspicions, and one time it was abundantly clear

Iris by lavagirlultra [G]

Nick has spent his entire life waiting for someone to see him. He feels like a puzzle, or an optical illusion. Sure, he may be difficult to get right at first, but if you just look from the right angle, the picture is so clear. But nobody even tries. Maybe it’s better they don’t. He doesn’t know if he could handle being unsolvable. or: Nobody seems to actually see Nick—until Charlie.

all i wanna do is get you out of that sweater, boy by golden_hestia [G]

It had started with small things first, a t-shirt here, a sweater there, until Charlie had filled an entire drawer of his dresser with Nick’s stolen clothes. Nick had never bothered to ask for them back. He’d only smile when he’d see Charlie arrive at his front door in his jumper, or wearing his joggers to bed when they had sleepovers. Sometimes Nick would offer up an offhand, “oh, I wondered where that had gone,” with no real intention of reclaiming them. Charlie knew that Nick liked seeing him wear his clothes, had told him as much with the same warm cheeks Charlie had seen the first time, all those months ago. It made Charlie feel so wanted knowing that Nick found as much pleasure in it as he did. Which was all well and good because Charlie had become a tad dependent on Nick’s clothes, it felt ridiculous for him to admit, but it was the truth. When the darker thoughts that had been simmering under the surface started to fester, if it wasn’t Nick himself, it was his clothes that Charlie found solace in. It was easy to hide himself in Nick’s large jumpers, draw the hood up and breathe in Nick’s smell, pretending that everything was fine. But everything was not fine. -- a missing scene fic from s3e4

First Date Magic by scienceisrealyo [T]

Charlie Spring hasn't gone on a date in a long time. A loooooong time. So when the handsome-yet-douchey guy from the café where he works keeps asking him out, he finally says yes. What could go wrong? (And more importantly…who else might he meet along the way?)

The guy you confessed your undying love to by loveinisolation [G]

Charlie accidentally confesses his love to the guy taking his pizza order.

Meeting Stacy by PansyFace22 [T]

‘Maybe,’ Nick says, finding himself having to swallow to clear his throat. ‘Maybe I’d better put my number in your phone.’ ‘Really.’ He smiles, again, at Nick. ‘You’re on a blind date. You might need someone to come interrupt it if it all goes terribly wrong.’ ‘Oh there’s the can-do attitude I was needing …’ ‘And, I’m right here in the restaurant, already, and you know I know Darcy … so … if you have my number you could text me. To, ah …’ ‘Cause a distraction?’

nothing left to lose without my baby by incompatiblestarsigns [T]

Nick has a crush on a local barista and Charlie thinks it’s adorable.

the pet name game by pheoni [T]

“Looks like Tao’s becoming more of a romantic than you.” “No,” Nick said, looking appalled. “No. I refuse to accept that.” “He does have better pet-name game,” Isaac observed. “…Thus far.” They let those words sink in. “You know what that means, Charlie?” Nick said slowly. Charlie knew full well what it meant. “We already have pet names, though,” he pointed out. “Dork and idiot.” “Yeah, but they’re not, like, romantic, are they?” Nick and Charlie decide to experiment with pet names. Things get a little out of hand…
