i'm not trying to wake you up

I don't know how this got so long, but I do know that if Alex or Charlie ever comes across it, I will probably cry. HERE WE GO.


Title: if you love it, i can do it again
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Alex Day/Charlie McDonnell
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Real person slash. And excessive blushing.
Summary: Wherein Alex is experienced, and Charlie is not. Alex helps Charlie overcome his awkwardness about sex.
A/N: Technically, this is almost entirely porn, because there needs to be more porn for this pairing. (Though possibly not quite this much?) Set sometime when they had the flat and Charlie's hair was red. Title from 'What You Like' by Darren Hayes. And if you prefer your fic on the shorter side, then this probably isn't for you. I really don't know how I manage to write such absurdly long fic when it's just sex, but let's go with it.

( The first time Alex kisses Charlie, Charlie freezes up completely. )

Oh my god, how great is it when a fic idea just comes to you out of nowhere and then you spend the whole day writing? I mean, ignoring the whole bunch of other ideas that I've been thinking about for ages and can't seem to write a single word of, and also the fact that this idea kept me up most of last night and I am now exhausted. My brain was just happily plotting away all on its own, and every now and then I had to get up and scribble in a notebook so I wouldn't forget things. But a part of me really loves it when that happens—I kinda like being caught off-guard with inspiration.

Plus, I've wanted to write Alex Day/Charlie McDonnell (or nerimon/charlieissocoollike) for AGES now, even before Youtube slash was an actual thing. It's always been complicated because a) I always thought I wouldn't be able to do it justice, and b) they feel much more like real people to me than the celebrities I write about, plus they are actually aware of the fanfiction and have been vocal about it, so that makes me feel skeevy. Buuut. They are massively adorable and their bromance is the loveliest thing in the world, and I really cannot ignore an idea when it comes to me the way this one did.

So here we go.


Title: contact high (or, five times alex and charlie shared a bed)
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Alex Day/Charlie McDonnell, hints of Alex Day/Tom Milsom
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Real person slash, and...I think that's it. That's amazing, I usually have like eight warnings to list.
Summary: Alex likes to keep a mental list of Things That Make Charlie Uncomfortable, just for reference.
A/N: Various bits of this, like the lampshade hats and the Amsterdam trip, are taken from the guys' videos. (How great is it that the 'forced to share hotel bed' trope actually happened to Alex and Charlie in real life?) Also, the 20 Questions game mentioned is something like this for those who have no clue what I'm talking about. Everything else is utterly made-up though, of course.

( The first time they share a bed is the first time Alex visits Charlie in Bath. )
