A Nick and Charlie story for adults based on characters by Alice Oseman

Nick Nelson thought he figured out how to navigate life as a young adult--professional rugby career on track, a cozy apartment with his long-time boyfriend, Charlie, and a blooming queer identity. But when a new diagnosis brings his world to a pause, Nick finds himself questioning the life he's built.

Together, Nick and Charlie must embrace change and vulnerability, find strength in their loving relationship, and fight for a future together. Beating Hearts is a tender story that examines love's fragility, the search for purpose, and the determination it takes to persevere in life's darkest hours.

I'm in Love with My Gym Bro [Heartstopper AU] by stephenwestwrites

Set in a Heartstopper alternate universe (AU), Nick Nelson never thought his world could be turned upside down by someone he met at the gym. Confident, athletic, and sure of his identity, Nick is the kind of guy who thrives in his routines. But when he notices Charlie Spring, a shy yet bold newcomer to the gym, Nick can't help but feel drawn to him in a way he's never felt before. As their friendship grows through shared workouts and late-night chats, Nick finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. Charlie's warmth, humor, and determination to better himself stir something in Nick he can't quite name. For Charlie, Nick's unwavering support and playful confidence spark a sense of belonging he's been searching for. What starts as casual gym bro camaraderie soon deepens into a bond neither of them expected. But as feelings grow stronger, so do the challenges of navigating first loves, coming out, and learning to trust in one another. With moments that will make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even shed a tear, I'm in Love with My Gym Bro is a heartwarming story about the courage to embrace who you are and the joy of discovering love in the unlikeliest places. Packed with tender moments, playful banter, and the undeniable chemistry of two people falling for each other, this novel is perfect for readers who believe that love can grow in the spaces you least expect it-like the weight rack at your local gym.

Together we go- Nick&Charlie - Heartstopper by eighteenfourteen

A romantic story of Nicholas Nelson and Charles Spring, where the two meet in the Leeds University, as the curly haired boy comes for his first year in a music line. His toxic ex-boyfriend, Ben, doesn't really let his life be easy at first. The popular rugby-king Nicholas Nelson who's studying on his second year in Leeds, rumors are telling him being bi-sexual, but no one really believes it as true. But it doesn't take long when the rumor of these two boys going out spreads around the whole school and social media, but Nick doesn't mind hiding it. Who knows what the future holds, where the two will be in 15 years? Together or not? Everything is based on the comics, written by the amazing Alice Oseman. Nothing of this is from the acted series. I might write smut, but not as crazy and detailed like I used to.. (read my profile) Remember to put a star on parts you like, I love comments and criticism, so let me know your thoughts!! I hope you enjoy<3
