Summary
Alex never made it to Kensington. He was going for a run in the rain when a car hit him and he ended up in a coma. Henry hears and runs to be by his side because he doesn’t want to lose the chance to say goodbye, even if they are no longer together. When Alex wakes up his last memory is before the lake house trip.
Will Henry tell him they broke up? Or will he take the chance to pretend everything is as it was before Austin?

Summary
i like naming things after songs because their essence inspires me. this is inspired by x & y by coldplay. kinda wanted to think about parasocial relationships and the stress that they may have on the people
nick and charlie are both actors in their late teens. nick questioned his sexuality when he was a tween but then tried his best to forget about it until his agent mentions auditioning for a gay character and he starts spiraling and isn't sure why! (that's a lie he really does know why just is scared to admit it)
charlie has been acting since he was a kid at local theater camps. every now and then he will audition for open casting calls and student films when he has the time. he's been out and comfortable with his sexuality for a while. one day he gets a call back for a major production and his life takes a new direction!

Summary
This is another fic written in the style of a reflective letter. Nick and Charlie met in Uni back in 2015, so now they are 25-26.
Not the sappiest of stories....but ends somewhat hopeful. Once again please give me feedback :)

Summary
based on the song 102 by Matty Healy.
It's a reflection within Charlie's mind, but read almost like a letter or diary to Nick where he reflects on their history

Summary
“So, maybe to get Liam off your back I could pretend to be your boyfriend? Just for a few weeks, and in return you could help me study for my upcoming English exam,”
Nick prepares himself to be told off, but surprisingly, Charlie nods. “That… that could work.”
"Yeah?"
“Yeah. But,” He pokes a finger into his chest, his hard expression returned. “Let me get one thing straight. I don’t need you to ‘save me’, I’m very capable of holding my own. I’m only agreeing because you’re offering,”
Ah, there's the Charlie he knows.
Nick bites back the smile that tugs on his lips. He's much more excited about this than he should be.
---
OR: Nick and Charlie aren't very fond of each other, to say the least, but when circumstances pull them together, it's hard to ignore the undeniable spark between them.

Loving You is an Oxymoron by tiredauthor

Summary
Liking Nick Nelson felt like an oxymoron.
He brings easy smiles and soft touches. Everything about him was warm. The way he looks at you like he brought you the summer breeze and his touch felt like a comforting brush of the sun’s rays. It’s not hard to catch feelings for the Gryffindor Quidditch star player, but falling for Nick Nelson felt effortless for Charlie.
Yet he also found liking him to be far more difficult than any type of studying he’s doing for his OWLs. Slytherin and Gryffindor students were never meant to be friends, much less in a romantic relationship.
or
Slytherin Charlie Spring and Gryffindor Nick Nelson navigating through the ups and downs of their relationship.
