Emily is suffering from anorexia; she just won't admit it to herself or anyone else. She doesn't want nor need any help, according to herself. 
Carter sees her struggle. He wants to help her. 
Will Emily finally accept help? And will she accept the help from someone she would have never imagined? And what will happen when she discovers that there's more to Carter too?
...............
This book is about suffering and not admitting it. It's about getting help from a surprising source and realizing the feelings you get in the making. It's about sorrow, love, hatred, and a lot more! The book spans from when they're 17/18 to when they're 37, and you get an insight into their lives for a long period of time. 
I really hope you enjoy my book! Please let me know what you think!

Nick and Charlie One Shots by Skywalker3rd
15 parts Ongoing Mature
It's going to help if you've read the Heartstopper books plus This Winter and Nick and Charlie too I'm not going to lie. But if you haven't it's no big deal, just know that there will be spoilers and I'm warning you now of referrals to self-harm and eating disorders. Yes, this will contain sex scenes and lots of them. No, I'm not sorry. Please don't read this if you want to keep the Heartstopper Universe retaining the same innocence as the books and comics, as this won't be for you. For anyone else who loves these characters but wants a more adult take, go right ahead. I know how much the Heartstopper readers love Alice, her characters and her books, I do too. I have tried to be as faithful to these characters and the way/how they sound and think as I can, whilst moving their story into deeper tones. So, with apologies to Alice Oseman, here is my humble adult take on Nick and Charlie (the characters, not the book. Well maybe a scene in that book too at a future date...) PS If you want a particular scene or scenario writing please let me know. I can only promise that I'll try my best.

Mind of The Disordered- A Memoir (Completed) by El3phant
80 parts Complete Mature
When you're stuck inside a layer of skin you never asked for, what does the soul do? It cries out in poems and pictures, and words that have so much meaning to anyone if they look hard enough. It winces in pain every time the pen hits the paper and shouts in agony every time the mirror is reflected upon a burning face. This is a collection of me. My eating disorder, my depression, anxiety, my thoughts, my words, my pain. If you've ever wondered what it was like inside the mind of an anorexic, a bulimic, a chronically depressed woman, here is the answer. A memoir written by me. There is no specific order you should read this book. Choose a random chapter from the table of contents, and read. Take a little in, leave a little out. ****** There is a major trigger warning for almost every story in here. If you are sensitive to numbers, or ideas or anything of this matter, this book may not be for you.
