Remus—
I know this is perhaps not the best time to have this conversation, but as I’m on my twelfth hour of tending to witches and wizards and confused muggles and LITERAL children, I’m feeling the need to say the things I’ve been holding in my heart for quite some time.
I love you, which I think you know. And I can’t imagine a day without you. I see the looks of grief on the family members of the victims of this latest attack from Voldemort and his minions, and all of them say the same thing when I offer them comfort for their loss. They wish they’d have said the things they were afraid to say, or were putting off until tomorrow. I don’t want to live like that.
So here I am saying them, and I’ll repeat these words to you when I get home…if I get home.
I love you Remus Lupin, and I would be so honored if you would marry me. You don’t need to answer in an owl. But if this is something you are interested in, reach into the inside pocket of my leather jacket by the door. You’ll find a simple ring in there. Nothing extravagant, nothing sparkly, nothing over the top. A simple gold band decorated with a cosmic filigree. A tie of the night sky, the moon and stars, and everything written in the cosmos that tethers us together.
If your answer is no, I will understand that as well. Just know and understand that I will never stop loving you.
Forever yours if you’ll have me,
Sirius Orion Black
what really gets to me is just how earnest nick is about his feelings for charlie, despite how confused he is about himself at first. he immediately goes to charlie the next day after their first kiss because he wants charlie to understand he doesn't regret the kiss, he's just really conflicted about himself. he doesn't ignore or shut charlie out while figuring out his sexuality and wanting to keep quiet about it at first, unlike ben. he makes it clear to charlie that he really likes him and doesn't want to go on dates with anyone else despite not being official yet. he gets really emotional when he wants charlie to realize how amazing and wonderful he really is and that he's changed nick's life for the better, and that he doesn't regret a single second with him. nick just communicating with charlie throughout the whole process is such a refreshing change from some of the shows we've gotten with lgbt+ representation in the past, and i'm so glad that lgbt+ youth and the community in general have a show like this to watch.
kit connor absolutely NAILING nicks confusion mixed with attraction in the first couple of episodes is so special to me. like it’s so clear- especially in eps 2&3 that he is so confused but likes charlie so much he doesn’t know what to do with himself. and that culminated brilliantly at the start of episode four with “i’m just so so confused” (and when his voice broke </3) it was so realistic and SO well done like i was floored
sometimes you read a fanfiction to distract and enjoy yourself but you end up reading a dialogue or a sentence that fundamentally changes who you are as a person and how you perceive the world around you, and honestly i wouldn't have it any other way
Even though everything I write is tagged, I decided to make a masterlist to make it easier to find stuff. Also, I don’t have actual titles for like any of these, so the “titles” are basically just what each one is about. Some of them might have the same names, but they’re different I promise! Also, my requests are always open, so if you want something written, feel free to send it in!

the little animations added to the netflix adaptation really made it so special for me! the flying leaves, little sparkles and electricity bolts when nick and charlie held hands, the tiny hearts over one of the main couples and the black scribbles around charlie when he had intrusive thoughts... they all added such a nice touch and connection from the comics to the show <3 everyone involved in making it put so much love and care into the show and it really shows on screen
“heartstopper is cringey” you mean it’s realistic? yeah their love story might be a little awkward, but it’s because they’re literally kids. kids are awkward. kids are cringey. y’all just aren’t used to accurate portrayals of 14/15 year olds in the media.
So I just saw a tik tok about this and I agree a 100%. I know we all laugh and joke about the "am I gay?" quiz Nick takes but what stood out for me about that scene was the fact that Nick was crying, not because he might be gay but because of all the articles he saw.
Finding out you're queer and it being immediately followed by articles about conversion therapy, suicide rates amongst queer youth and hate crimes is so overwhelming in so many levels.
He realized what is unfortunately linked to the queer experience and I believe he also got a better understanding of what Charlie had gone through.
This scene was so impactful for me and I was sobbing because of the sad reality of what being queer involves.
my dorlene fic had its official debut!
