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

the 8-minute spark that never dies by steelknuckles [G]

Nick leans on Tao when Charlie is away.

a soft place to land by ace_astronaut [T]

“I just didn’t think being on my own would be this hard,” he sobbed. At this, every part of Sarah wanted to reach through the screen, brush the tears from his feverish cheeks, and whisper, you’re not on your own. But she couldn’t. So instead, she simply stayed on the phone with him, two-hundred miles away, and reminded him, over and over again, to breathe. When Nick’s first rodeo with freshers’ flu hits worse than anticipated, Sarah summons him back home to recharge.

all the flags are red by peaceoutofthepieces [G]

Meet me in the art room? Mr Ajayi gave me a funny look when I came in but then he gave me this super knowing smile and said ‘clean up your crumbs and tell Charlie I said hello’, so I think it’s okay lol Charlie smiles, and feels the flutter of butterflies in his stomach, and ignores Tao’s complaints as he recollects his things and heads back into the school. He thinks nothing of it, other than precious alone time with his boyfriend. Then it happens the next day. And the next. And the next. And Charlie thinks this doesn’t mean we’re friends and we don’t really have chats like that and I’m worried that even though it’s his choice, Nick might feel…abandoned, and he starts to worry.

Dear Charlie, for when… by erinthelibrarian [T]

In 'Once Upon a Meddling Christmas' (the final oneshot in my 'Our Favourite Meddling Gays' series) Nick gifted Charlie 40 letters as his Christmas present. The first to be read the day Nick returns to Leeds in January. Then he could choose a letter to read each week. Right up until Charlie hopefully joins him up there in October. These are those letters…

find me (here in your arms) by thirteenick [T]

Nick goes to visit Charlie at uni for the first time. Fluff happens, because they are Nick and Charlie, afterall.

It's you (I'm in love with) by heartsocold [G]

“I–please don’t leave me,” Nick begs and Charlie blinks at him in shock as the words register. “Leave–Nick, no, never! I would never, ever, leave you, sweetheart. Where is this coming from?” “The wedding’s off. Tara and Darcy broke things off and—” Nick cut himself off with another sob and Charlie’s heart aches. Or: the one where all their friends have broken up and Nick's struggling with coping.

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.'

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

sweet as summer, bright as the sun by shadowquill17 [T]

Later that night, when the kids have gone to bed and there’s not a sound in the house except for the quiet talking of the adults in the kitchen, Nick turns to Charlie and kisses his shoulder. “Come take a dip with me?” he asks. “Now?” “Yeah. We can just be the two of us.” Charlie’s eyes glitter in the low light. “Okay.” Nick brings Charlie on his family holiday to Menorca.

Window by L56895 [T]

After the summer fair, and what comes next, Nick takes a moment to collect his thoughts.

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

Dive by Idril [M]

Something’s happening between him and Nick. It’s different, and it’s good. So good. Inspired by "Dive" by Olivia Dean.

Have You Heard About My Husband? by IvoryAlayne [T]

Charlie was just finishing his nightly cup of tea and was getting ready for bed when his phone rang, a picture of his brown-eyed, sandy haired husband popping up on the screen. Charlie smiled to himself as he answered the call. “Hey babe, how's your night out going?” “Oi Chaaaarlie!” A familiar, but distinctly NOT his husband's, voice sang. “Otis, hi, is everything ok?” “Yeah mate, I think your hubby will need a ride home. Any way you could get down to the bar to pick him up? We’re all too pissed to drive him ourselves. And I think he’ll be happy to see you. He hasn’t stopped talking about you all night.” -OR- Charlie thinks about his husband. Nick talks about his.

If it looks like porn and sounds like porn, does that make it… ? by kay_lalala [E]

Assembling furniture made him sweat on the coldest of days and now, in this hot weather, it would positively kill him. He wore his work dungarees and he knew, wearing no T-shirt under it would make him look like the cliché of a craftsman-porn-star on his way to his next fuck, but sue him, it was really damn hot. He reached his hand out and blindly patted the seat next to him for the sheet with the information about his next customer on it so he could check on the details. “Charles Spring? Well, that sounds like a man old enough to not care what I wear as long as I get the job done.” OR: Nick assembles furniture while wearing dungarees. One Charles Spring needs his new bed assembled. Yes, that’s the plot. But in Nick&Charlie style, hehe. Now no longer a one-shot but a story with 6 chapters because those dorks won't leave me alone.

Not Yet by Anonymous [M]

Canon divergence: Nick and Charlie sit together in form, but through some complicated mechanics that I haven't bothered to work out, they never kissed or started dating. When the Paris trip happens a year later than canon and they end up stuck in a bed together, all the pieces finally fall into place.

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.

Scared of what you meant to me by L56895 [G]

Probably, Charlie would know the names of all the sounds that occurred when he guided the sticks in Nick’s fingers down rhythmically- but to Nick’s ear they sounded like tarrumph tsk tsk. Tarrumph tsk tsk. Over and over until he felt it in his heartbeat.

when I was young and so secure by kaalee [G]

When Nick Nelson comes to Charlie’s house for the first time, Julio Spring is pretty sure he remembers him from somewhere. But where? (also, I suck at summaries. This is a window into adorable wee, 5 year old Nick Nelson, acting like a dinosaur and meeting Charlie Spring for the first time. If that’s your thing, definitely read.)

You've Taught Me Well by buggybugs [T]

Sarah Nelson has watched her son and Charlie grow together through all the stages of their relationship—navigating love, family, and growing up. Along the way, she’s taken on the role of a second mother to Charlie, offering guidance in the moments they needed it most. But when it comes to love, Sarah realises the boys have taught her just as much. Or: Five times Sarah shared her wisdom with Nick and Charlie, and the one time they showed her what love really means.

You Know, I Could Reimburse You… Or: The Bar Fic by NellieSayzBork [G]

It's a busy Friday night at the campus bar, and Charlie can't stop mooning over a hot rugby lad. Nick Nelson is trying so hard to approach his crush, but he just can't work up the nerve. Sometimes, you just have to return the drink. Title from Bakar's "Right Here, For Now"

your needs (my needs) by GoldenAvenger02 [T]

“Fine,” Tori agreed, knowing that calling back-up would be the closest thing that she would get to an agreement before opening her contacts, clicking on the name that belonged to the closest person with a car. It just so happened to be the same person who would do anything and everything for Charlie.

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]

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]

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.

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

Don't Believe Him by 7ate9

When Charlie tells his study group he's dating Leed's rugby star Nick Nelson, they don't quite believe him. It's embarrassing to go with them to the rugby game, with their voices in his ears telling him he's mad, but Nick is always there to prove those voices wrong, even when he doesn't even know they exist.

look now, the sky is gold by kissmeinnewyork [T]

now i've read all of the books beside your bed by thetomkatwholived [T]

Tara smirked. “Yes, Charlie Spring. Isaac is one of his best friends. He posts booktube videos.” “Booktube?” Darcy rolled her eyes. “Get on the internet, Nicholas! Youtube videos specifically about books. Isaac has a really great channel. Awesome queer recs.” She handed an earbud to Tara, and they both huddled around her phone. Or, Nick sees Charlie for the first time in years in Isaac's video and maybe that crush he thought was dulled comes back in full force. At least he can get all the recommended books at the new bookshop in town…

The Quarantine Chronicles by CJShips [T]

Inspired by the Heartstopper Mini-Comic: The Haircut, aged-up Nick and Charlie navigate pandemic life. I hope to make this a series of vignettes, but I wrote this first chapter as a stand-alone. Come on Charlie, just get here Nick begged internally, raising a hand to scrub his face. … Irrational thoughts that he’d been walling off for hours began to break through. What if Charlie’s flight had been re-routed? Or not taken off at all? Or what if the flight had arrived at SFO but for some reason, Charlie wasn’t on it? What if the United States sealed its borders and Nick became trapped in a different country from the most important person in the world? … For the first time since he and Charlie moved to San Francisco eight months ago, Nick wondered if it was a terrible mistake.

We Just Keep Going by agreatwave [M]

“Nothing’s wrong, nothing happened,” He reassures. “I just want to come home.” “Charlie - ” “I just really want to be with you tonight,” Charlie interrupts. Nick’s heart skips a beat. “Is- is that ok?” Charlie asks when Nick doesn’t respond immediately. This, more than anything, sets off an alarm in Nick’s head. It’s rare, these days, for Charlie to question things like he used to. OR When another long term couple breaks up, Charlie needs reassurance. Nick is more than happy to give it.

the wedding dance by steelknuckles [G]

Nick has two left feet, so he's lucky to have Charlie to guide him during their wedding dance. If love was a piano, it would be every note from top to bottom.

you only stay by peaceoutofthepieces [G]

“Ben talked to you at the cinema?” Nick interrupts, his voice shaking. His eyes are wide, and he grips Charlie’s hand tighter. “When did you talk to Ben?” “Oh.” Charlie looks down. “Uhm, outside, just before I left. After you’d gone back in.” He glances up in time to see Nick’s expression go pained, and he reaches his free hand over so he can grip Nick’s and squeeze back. “What did he say?” Nick asks quietly. “It doesn’t matter,” Charlie tries, but Nick’s kicked-puppy look only strengthens. “He just—it was the same thing about denying his feelings and being a dick about it. Telling me he never liked me, but I was pathetic enough for him to feel sorry for me. Usual Ben things.”

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

Poetry by Theheavenlyoption [G]

There’s a small smile on Charlie’s lips, the edges of his mouth pulling up just barely, and Nick can’t help but find it painfully cute. He’s not entirely sure if it's caused by whatever Charlie's reading, or if it’s because he knows Nick’s staring at him, but either way Nick can’t help himself. Quickly, he leans in and presses a kiss to Charlie's cheek, just a small one. A peck, really. He doesn’t want to distract Charlie from his book, honest. A little exploration of a tiny snippet in the season 2 kissing montage.

show and tell by thetomkatwholived [T]

Charlie’s pretty sure bringing your uncle as a show and tell item isn’t the norm, but he’s willing to do almost anything for his niece, even subject himself to her Year 1 class. And hey, her teacher’s really handsome and funny and sweet… Maybe it won’t be too bad after all.

Strictly Dancing by allamosaurus [E]

Professional dancer Charlie Spring has long been asking for a male partner on the celebrity dance show he works on. He finally gets his wish, but is told in no uncertain terms that this is just an allyship thing. So much for good representation. Rugby player Nick Nelson learns that his manager has agreed to let one of the lads star in a celebrity dance competition with a male partner. It’s absolutely a PR stunt to quash rumours of homophobia in the league, but Nick is just excited to play this tiny part in queer TV history. Romance is the last thing on either of their minds, but when they cross paths the night before filming is due to begin, 'something more' is bound to blossom. tldr; this is a dance fic in name only, but it's really about the magic of queer joy and carving homes in safe places because the world sometimes sucks. Featuring crop tops and make up and healed Charlie and proud Nick and all the love in my gay lil heart.

Nick is changing. In a good way, Sarah thinks. Ever since he befriended Charlie he’s become much more relaxed and comfortable in himself than she previously thought he was.

Charlie. or; Nick and Charlie’s relationship, through Sarah Nelson’s eyes.

Touch the grass by HSNomad [T]

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.”

He hitches in a breath as he feels Nick’s pinky finger hook onto his. Nick looks at him, his head drifting slightly closer, then he takes a quick breath and looks away. ‘I don’t know … maybe?’ he says.

Lavender Fields by scienceisrealyo [E]

My lover is sleeping. by glaspen [T]

Pining in Anticipation by kingdomfaraway [E]

“I love you too,” Charlie said, feeling a little overcome with emotions. It helped a little and Charlie finally found himself getting the nerve. He reached out and wrapped his hand around Nick’s cock, a now familiar feeling. The second his fingers wrapped around, Nick moaned, flexing his hips up just a little. Charlie put his other hand on Nick’s hip, pushing down. “If you choke me, I’ll bite you.” “Don’t threaten me with a good time,” Nick said immediately, probably not even realizing getting your dick bitten was not in fact, a sexy threat. (or awkward boyfriends in love trying to figure out this whole sex thing)

Show Me by stars_fall_on [E]

"So?" Tao's eyebrows almost touched his hairline. "So?" "Will you do it?" The thought of it alone made Charlie's head spin and the butterflies in his belly start to fly. Was he ready to take the next step with Nick? Yes. Did he think Nick was ready to take the next step with him? Yes? Probably? For a short moment he thought about asking Tao about his opinion of if whether Nick seemed ready to him. But he really wanted to stay alive so he could kiss Nick after school today and decided for the better against it. The real question he had to consider though: Was Charlie actually brave enough to take the next step with Nick?

Sunkissed by aprms [E]
