Summary
Charlie is a 23 year old living in a punk house in Portland, Oregon some time in the 2010s. He’s graduated from therapy, he’s got a great group of people in his life, he’s politically active, and he’s got a fantastic sense of fashion. And he refuses to let anyone dim his shine anymore, not after being forced back into the closet again and again by a series of horrible exes and an equally horrible mother. But what happens when heavily tattooed, chronically-single Charlie sees a clean cut all-American boy walk into a community organizing meeting who won’t stop looking at him with his kind hazel eyes?
This story is noncanonical and a big departure from Heartstopper but equally as saccharine, albeit rougher around the edges. Many scenes are inspired directly by Heartstopper, but this is a completely alternate universe where our characters are dropped into a completely different set of circumstances, on the same timeline as the comics. Namely, they are anarchists in America. See the endnotes for more about the inspiration behind this story.

Love these parts:
Leisurely conversation comes so readily, it’s as if Charlie has known these two Nelsons his whole life.
Charlie wishes he had known these two his whole life.
He hopes he will know them for the rest of it.
Furthermore, it’s ok to hang onto complicated memories, and not just the happy ones. After all, ‘there’s power in bad memories, because bad memories contribute to today’s happiness.’
