Summary
Nick and Charlie have successfully started their family after Nick has given birth to a little girl named Amelia. They're happier than they've ever been, but Charlie's been quite sick recently. A visit to the doctor showed that Charlie is finally pregnant, so he made an appointment with his OB/GYN - who found that he was actually pregnant with twins.

Summary
Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.
He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.
Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”
xx
A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

Summary
A doctor steps in and blocks his way. “Sir, you can’t go in there!”
“No, no, no,” says Charlie, “you don’t understand—”
“Are you family?”
“No, but—”
“Family only,” he informs him sternly, disappearing behind the glass door. The doctor joins the throng of medical personnel surrounding the man’s body, and when they wheel the gurney out of sight, Charlie staggers back from the glass wall like he’s been punched.
Shock and helplessness coalesce within him. Inexplicably, he finds himself laughing, his trembling fingers lifting to his lips to contain the mirthless giggles that spill forth. “Oh, God,” he whispers. “I was going to marry that man.”
The nurse at the desk drops her jaw. “Oh, luv.”

The birds and the bees by NicksVault

Summary
Nick Nelson has spent a lot of time thinking about Charlie lately—a lot. It’s only natural, really. After all, they’ve been growing closer, and Nick can’t help but imagine what could happen between them when the time is right. But those thoughts? They’re not exactly innocent.
As if his mind wasn’t already racing, Nick finds himself the subject of several awkward “sex talks”—five, to be exact, and well, they make him think if he can’t just skip being a horny teenager.
Or 5 times someone talks Nick about sex and 1 time he talks with Charlie

Summary
Nick and Charlie have been best friends for ten years, but one stray comment suddenly makes them realise that their relationship may not be quite as platonic as they both thought.
Started as a song fic but as usual our boys have led me off on a tangent and what I am writing is nothing like what I’d planned.

Really Don't Know Love At All by stripyjumpsuit

Summary
“One emotionally available, kind-hearted boyfriend, please.”
“I’m sorry - they’re not in season.”
“That’s what you said last season.”
“Well… this goes against company policy, but… they’ve actually been extinct as of April 27th, 2003.”
“That’s my birthday!”
“Then I guess the universe wants you to be miserable forever.”
“Yeah… That tracks.”
~
Charlie and Nick meet at university. Charlie is trying to understand what a healthy relationship can be like and Nick has never dated a guy (properly). Charlie navigates his eating disorder while in a new relationship + Ben trauma and Nick navigates coming out to the team + David trauma. But really it's just boys in love.
Mostly AU, but I follow some canon (loosely).

Summary
Charlie Spring is fighting in Egypt in World War II, just trying to survive and not have his sexuality discovered when a handsome Chef shows up and the rules he had put in place start to break down.
What happens when you find love, somewhere devoid of hope and can that love survive when fate contrives against it?
I wasn't sure I was going to tag this as a happy ending because I wanted to keep you guessing but then I remembered I probably wouldn't read it without that tag so rest assured the love can survive....

Summary
Nick and Charlie have been married for three years and have decided they wanted to start a family. Charlie has tried to fall pregnant for over a year, and despite the doctors saying there's nothing wrong, it isn't happening. After a particularly bad reaction to a co-workers pregnancy, Charlie decides to stop actively trying and just see what happens. Fast forward to Charlie's next appointment where Nick throws up in the trash can. Surprise?
This is an AU where mpreg is totally normal - no omegaverse (though there's nothing wrong with that!). This idea has been rolling around in my brain for almost a year and if I keep rewriting it I'll never post it, so here it is.

Summary
The kingdoms of Jonquil and Cerulean have always been allies and trading partners. But imperial ambitions in the east have led many small countries to formalize the agreements that had kept the peace for hundreds of years - some going as far as to combine into larger kingdoms through alliance marriages. Polls show that the people of Jonquil and Cerulean are dead-set against that. And neither heir is willing to give up ruling a kingdom to marry the other.
Besides, it had been loathe at first site for both Princess Victoria of Jonquil and Prince David of Cerulean.
It seemed obvious to try forming an alliance through the sunny younger prince of Cerulean and the frosty princess of Jonquil. So to that end, Prince Nicholas set out for the seaside kingdom to try to foster a relationship that could at least be friendly and mutually respectful so that an alliance marriage could bind their countries together against mutual threats.
And then he met Prince Charles.

The Rest of Your Life by Timemaker3154

Summary
Charlie Spring is 23, and has finally left Ben Hope, much to the relief of his friends. But he hasn't escaped this relationship unscathed, both physically and mentally, and it will take him a lot to open up again. He still thinks sometimes of Nick Nelson, the only boy who had made his heart stop.
Nick Nelson is 24, and is a teacher in London. Life is great, and so are his friends, but he can't help but feel that something is still missing in his life. He thinks back sometimes on his friend from school, Charlie Spring, who had dashed in and out of his life in year 11, before suddenly ghosting him one day after rugby practice; ignoring him in form and pretending he didn't exist.
It's never too late for a second chance, but that doesn't mean it won't be without challenges.

Summary
Nick made sure his backpack was sealed and the hood of his jumper secured over his head before he departed the bus. He was the only one getting off at this stop and he paused under the bus stop's roof as the bus left him there. He’d hoped he would see something, anything, to jog his memory, but nothing called out to him. He was only six the last time he’d been anywhere in the area. He barely remembered what the house looked like, let alone the surrounding area. He could remember the kitchen most of all, the time spent baking his with Mum, standing in the little kitchen, an apron tied around his waist. They were probably his favorite memories of being here, the little pleasant ones he had.
(Or Nick grows up with his Dad in Paris and when he gets kicked out, he runs away to Kent to find his mum and ends up finding Charlie along the way)
