Good Girl Nellie Nelson by NellieSayzBork [G]

Narlie Waves by waveofyou [E]

A Heartstopper California AU where Nick (31) and the HS crew we know and love live in SoCal. Charlie (29) leaves his London office to work in San Diego for a year. Nellie makes a new puppy bestie. Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he’s deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he’s safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂 ⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂” Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂” …so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections 🫶🏻 Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️

Of Dog Treats and Heartbeats by bishyreadytocry [T]

Charlie gets himself a dog. She’s a pain in his arse. She’s also the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Nick has always had dogs. He also bakes for them in his own wee shop. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him. So far, anyway.

Is it Okay if we, like… Keep this a secret? by PhoenixSpring [T]

Interdepartmental Cooperation by sophisticatedyet [T]

“So, are you joining me on the walk?” Charlie could just have said no, but then he would need a reason for why he was standing in the car park in waterproof trousers at 11am on a Saturday, so instead, he forced a smile and said, weakly, “Yep.” AKA: Nick and Charlie are coworkers who get set up because all their colleagues are fed up with them.

The Rugby Rainbow Alliance by PhoenixSpring [T]

Nick and Charlie are best friends. Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are inseparable. Everyone knows they're meant to be together. Everyone except the aforementioned boys. Enter The Paris Squad and a handful of Rugby Lads to intervene. Set in Nick's Y12 and Charlie's Y11 in a universe where Charlie never went to Harry Greene's 16th party and they never kissed.

Those Two Oblivious Boys by 7ate9 [G]

In hindsight, it was obvious, really: Nick and Charlie had a crush on each other. After figuring it out, Sai, Otis, and Christian can’t help but try to intervene to give their friends a happily ever after they deserve. Unfortunately, not everything is as it seems, but that may not mean what the boys think it means.

Unexpected Wingman by Whatteverr888yup [G]

“Charlie couldn’t wait to see his warm brown eyes, endless freckles and the most adorable smile in the entire world. And those strong arms. God, those arms. Nick, a regular customer for more than a month, always showed up around the same time. Which, funny enough, was always during Charlie’s morning shifts, so he was the one serving Nick every time. Coincidence? Charlie hoped not.” Or, A coffee shop AU where Charlie is gay panicking, Nick is smitten and Tao is an impatient, supportive straight friend who decides to take matters into his own hands.

Who Needs Luck by kingdomfaraway [G]

He Left a Note by 7ate9 [T]

It's the night before Nick and Charlie's wedding. Tao has been going insane with best man duties, but he is a good friend, and he will follow through on every single one. But he's not quite sure what to do when one of the grooms disappears, leaving just a note behind. What is Tao supposed to tell Charlie?

Now we’re saying goodbye, waving to the hard times (yeah, it’s gonna be alright) by SilverShadow1 [G]

“I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with the term ‘canon event’, but my two best friends Tara and Darcy were part of one in my life.” OR Nick delivers his wedding toast at Tara and Darcy's wedding

passed down like folk songs by thetomkatwholived [G]

“You wanted to marry me when I was eighteen?” Nick gave an incredulous laugh. “I wanted to marry you when you were fifteen, but that certainly wasn’t a sound idea.” “You want to marry me?” Or, Nick and Charlie decide to get the government involved in the most Nick and Charlie way.

Drunk on sex, Giddy on love by PhoenixSpring [T]

a shield of blue and green by shadowquill17 [T]

Tristan Hayes has just joined Truham’s rugby team, and Nick has a feeling he might turn out to be a bully. Because of course, there's no other reason Tristan could be looking at Charlie… right?

Damn, I Miss You Tonight by Cherry_likethefruit [M]

“I think no talk about uni should mean no talk about GCSEs either.” Nick felt a bit unmoored. There was something in the way Charlie was looking at him that made his heartbeat quicken. “Uh, what do you want to talk about then?” “We could talk about…Saturday?” Charlie took his bottom lip between his teeth, and suddenly Nick was finding it nearly impossible to ignore his growing erection. He wasn’t really sure how Charlie made the gesture look both shy and obscene at the same time, but the combination was really working for him. Nick swallowed hard, trying to maintain some semblance of cool for at least a while longer. “Are you excited for the fête?” Charlie smirked. “I mean, that wasn’t really the exciting event I had in mind.” A continuation of Heartstopper chapter 7 - 27… Or, what I think probably happened between comic pages 1467 and 1468.

For Everyone (Except Me) by 7ate9 [G]

“Nick, I was… thinking… about us?” He wasn’t sure why it came out as a question. Nick nodded, trepidation encroaching on his light expression. “Okay.” “And, well, um…” The speech, remember the speech. “I just think that, well.” Charlie took a deep and forced himself on. For Nick. For Tao. For everyone. (Everyone except me.) “I think it might be better if we, you know…” Charlie swallowed heavily and forced himself to continue holding Nick’s gaze. For Nick. “If we stopped doing this.” If Charlie got through the break up in season 1

Is it Okay if we, like… Keep this a secret? by PhoenixSpring [T]

5 times Nick and Charlie think they're keeping their relationship a secret, plus the 1 time they realise they've been caught.
