NickxCharlie fic recs

“Charlie doesn’t realize he and Nick are dating” is such a great trope! Here’s a list of fics you should read if you agree 🤭❤️

Rugby Lad by sophisticatedyet: Charlie thinks agreeing to join the Truham rugby team at the request of Mrs Singh is possibly the worst decision he’s ever made. Then Nick Nelson, the St John’s fly half, sweeps him off his feet (literally) and Charlie decides maybe rugby isn’t so bad.

Friends as in Friends, or Friends as in FRIENDS? by PhoenixSpring: Nick Nelson has a big, embarrassing crush on the cute drummer in the year below him who doesn't even know he exists.That is, until one day Nick plucks up the courage to ask the enigmatic Charlie Spring on a date. At least Nick thinks it's a date, but does Charlie?

Knife Overnight by eefja: charlie spends the first year of uni shagging, kissing, and dating a certain mr. rugby. he is only aware of doing two of these things. luckily, they are both rubbish at communicating.

It’s time we danced with the truth by orphan_account: Charlie's perfectly fine being just Nick's friend with benefits. (He's not). (Good thing Nick's not either).

He comes to me at night by 7ate9: Charlie is fine. Really, he is. He doesn't think about what happened that day, he doesn't think about what Ben did. He doesn't think about it. He dreams about it. One night, when the dreams are too intense, Charlie calls the only person who knows: Nick.

Clueless (all the damn time) by thirteenick: Nick Nelson is hopelessly in love with his new form partner, Charlie Spring. The cool nerd drummer player makes his heart jump out of his chest and become incapable of starting conversation. Because there is no way Charlie could possibly like him back... Right?

Unconscious bias by BluestJM: Nick is dating Charlie, but Charlie hasn’t caught on yet.

Top 10 Nick x Charlie fics I’ve read (Aug 2024)

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?

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

“Are you okay?” Charlie asked quietly a minute later, his hand stroking Nick’s tummy. Nick hummed. “Very, very okay. You?” “I’m… perfect,” he answered truthfully. ~~~ Set after Nick and Charlie's first time trying something new.

I Wanna Wake Up With You by PhoenixSpring [M]

I wanna wake up with you I wanna be there when you open your eyes I want you to be The first thing that I see I wanna wake up with you 5 times Charlie wakes beside Nick, and 1 time he wakes alone.

I'll do whatever it takes (I'll make a million mistakes) by Draco_sollicitus [T]

Julio Spring thinks his children are nothing short of wonderful. He'd do anything to protect Charlie from the world's cruelty, but his son keeps him at arm's length. Then, at the cinema, Julio Spring arrives early for pick-up and overhears two conversations: one, between his son and his new friend, Nick. The other, between his son and someone cruel. (AKA The One where Julio Spring hears Ben bullying Charlie, but Nick comes back and puts a stop to it before it goes too far - Episode 7 Canon Divergence)

Kiss Me by stars_fall_on [E]

Ever since Charlie dropped the bomb of wanting to have bareback sex with Nick during movie night at Charlie's home, there hasn't passed a day where they haven't spoken about it. It's mostly been comments like 'I can't believe we're actually gonna do this' or questions like 'Are you sure you wanna do this? Are we ready for this?' It always ended in the same resolution, though: HELL YES! As soon as humanly possible, please.

Paddleboarding by waveofyou [T]

Your daily dose of Heartstopper joy! 37 days til Season 3 drops! Nick and Charlie visit La Jolla Cove with their twins and dogs on Nick’s 40th birthday. Charlie POV ♥️

practically married (already us) by shadowquill17 [T]

Nick is in his first year of uni and out for a night with the lads, when one of them mentions that he and Charlie are practically married. Nick is not even surprised at how much he likes the idea.

Someone Special by agreatwave [T]

“When Sarah meets Charlie Spring, her first impression is that he’s very different to Nick’s other friends.” Sarah sees many different sides of Charlie over the years. She loves each and every one.

this is our place, we make the rules by citydreaming [E]

Nick gulps, clears his throat and then just spits the words out, fast and broken “me and Charlie have split up.” And there it is, the truth just hanging between them. The thing Nick swore would never happen, the thing he brushed off every time someone told him that teenage love doesn't last. Nick and Charlie break up during Nick’s first year of university, this is the story of them finding their way back to each other.

you're the blood in my veins by charliesnelsons [M]

Nick visits Charlie at uni for Halloween and experiences jealousy for the first time.

Literally every work by RedSkiesAtNight22

[heartstopperfics]

College/University (1) Masterlist

And they were roommates...  (Ao3) - appletensai

Summary: Nick is quite desperate because Tara, his actual roommate, is leaving to move in with Darcy. And he has to look for someone to share the apartment with now instead. Unfortunately, all the applicants are creeps except one person that appeared unexpectedly on his doorstep. Maybe it isn't that hard to find a replacement for Tara...

Bad Idea (Ao3) - abastard

Summary: If he’s being honest, Charlie doesn’t remember much of the night. He remembers enough, smooth expanses of skin, light bruises sucked into a collarbone, the feeling of Nick’s lips against his. Much of the rest of the night, however, was missing. 

Charlie wakes up in Nick's bed, panic ensures.

Before Us (Ao3) - oceanfruit

Summary: Charlie was excited for college, but when he finds out his roommate has a baby, things quickly become interesting. Life only get worse when he realizes who this roommate is. 

It was going to be a long year.

Bring Me That Horizon (Ao3) - cinnaluminum

Summary: Darcy is at the kitchen sink when Nick comes in the door, elbow deep in soapy water and frantically washing what looks like half the dishes and cutlery in the apartment. Nick toes off his shoes and laughs, because when it comes to Darcy’s dish-hoarding habit he has discovered that life is easier if he chooses to find it entertaining rather than annoying.

he's all that (and that's all i need) (Ao3) - nickynelson

Summary: Nick’s at uni and he’s playing truth or dare at a party. His answer doesn’t satisfy the people he’s playing with.

i don't want to look at anything else (now that i saw you) (Ao3) - somnatic

Summary: Nick would consider his life at university rather unremarkable. That is, until Charlie moves in, with his fairy lights and his silly friends and his ridiculous, lovely heart

Let me dance to the beat of your drum (Ao3) - fakinbrilliance

Summary: Charlie agreed to join a band during his first year at Leeds for a bit of fun, and one of their songs went viral. Now he has fans, and those fans find it hard to believe a jock like Nick could possibly be dating the Charlie Spring, the hot, emo drummer of their new favourite band. Charlie is having none of that, thank you very much.

Love and Rugby (Ao3) - akqueenie22

Summary: College Hearstopper AU! Nick and Charlie meet each other for the first time at a rugby match. Despite running in different circles, they are immediately drawn to each other.

Meet me halfway  (Ao3) - jessx2231

Summary: While Nick has still only ever dated girls, the way he’s drawn to Charlie is more than enough to validate his confidence in being bisexual. The more he talks to him, the more he wants to listen, to learn about when he met Tao and Elle, and if he likes his sister’s boyfriend, and what it would be like to hold his hand or kiss him.

One Bad Night (Ao3) - glowingregards

Summary: Charlie Spring comes back to his shared dorm with Nick Nelson late one night in tears. Charlie is going through a breakup, Nick is there to help. What happens when Nick starts to catch feelings for his roommate?

U-Nick-Versity (Ao3) - Faramaz_44

Summary: Nick is away at University in Leeds. Charlie is stuck back home in Kent for another year, 275 miles away. They're both feeling things about the situation.

What if? (In any universe) (Ao3) - 01FictionDreamer01

Summary: Charlie Spring has just started his first year at the University of Leeds. Can he escape his difficult past and leave the trauma of his old relationship behind him? What will happen when he meets a beauiful boy who turns his world upside down in a way he never expected? Will he ever be able to let himself be vulnerable again?

What's It Gonna Be? (Ao3) - phoenixspring

Summary: Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!

Charlie is struggling with trust and control after an abusive relationship in high school shatters his self esteem. His therapist has suggested he needs to find a hobby that pushes at his limits of being in control. Charlie thinks Geoff probably meant joining a band, or maybe rock climbing, and not seducing fit guys, who are way out of his league, for one night stands. Same results though, so what's the harm?

Wisdom Teeth (Ao3) - nicknelsons

Summary: Set in an alternate universe where Nick and Charlie met at university and quickly became best friends, deciding to move in together for Charlie's second/Nick's third year. A one-shot about what happens when Nick gets his wisdom teeth removed.

You're still bi, actually by PhoenixSpring [G]

Nick split with his high school sweetheart 6 months ago and is now ready to try dating… maybe. He thinks he's ready. Only he's never really done this before, and honestly he's kinda nervous. He's also bi. No matter what his twatty brother says, even if he's only ever been with one person, with one gender. Right? He's definitely bisexual? Enter one dark haired, blue eyed barman to guide Nick through his spiralling thoughts.

It's Rotten Work (Ao3) - baymax_13

Summary: Nick grows up to be a pro rugby player. The people close to him know he's bi, but in his line of work coming out could ruin his whole career.

"My life is way better because I met you. And I'll keep on saying it until you believe me." Nick doesn't know what happened.

What's It Gonna Be? (Ao3) - Phoenixspring

Summary: Nick is struggling with being bisexual in a world that seems to assume that straight or gay are the only two legitimate options. Call him a romantic, but he's not interested in hook ups and one night stands. He wants a relationship, with someone he can be his whole self with. And his true self is bi, and proud!
