This was so adorable!!!

I’ve never played D:BH myself, but I have spent plenty of time watching my sibling play it and always thought it was an interesting premise. So, of course, I saw Alice had done a Heartstopper AU and knew I needed to read it ASAP. It was a lot of fun to see these characters in a new light, in such a drastically different setting. Detective Charlie and android Nick are as adorable as their classic, contemporary selves, and I especially loved that little nod to the original comic. (Also! I loved that it was in full color!)

10/10 am bookmarking this to reread whenever I’m sad.

Representation:
  • achillean romance (m/m) (one is gay, one is bisexual)
  • sapphic side couple (f/f) (both are lesbians)
