    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.”

    An Absurdism AU - for my otter partners in crime Isto4u and Hope

    This story picks up after chapter 14 of Absurdism. After breaking up and spending a couple of painful weeks apart, Olly and David accept invitations to attend Nick and Charlie’s post-honeymoon slideshow party.

    **Update July 2024: with the news that on-screen Oliver is coming in season 3, I have removed the Heartstopper TV tag. I promise there will be more Vinaigrette soon...

    Summary

    Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring used to be best friends. Attached at the hip. Secretly obsessed with one another.

    Nine years ago, thanks to their mutual stubbornness, they lost contact after drunkenly arguing at a uni party.

    When Nick moves to Brighton, newly single and looking for a fresh start, he has no idea that adopting an overweight cat from a local shelter is going to land him in Charlie's office at the local vet clinic, and result in a wildly entertaining night out at pub karaoke. All hail the fat tabby cats of the world!
