    Summary

    “Do you teach at Herne Bay?” Nick asked, curious to hear whether the man’s voice was as sharp as his cheekbones, or soft like his tight curls looked like they’d be under his fingertips.
    The man just nodded, still not looking to Nick once.

    Nick & Charlie are teachers at rival primary schools. Charlie's a bit of a bristly bastard. Nick's a hopeless simp. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff and everything in between. Buckle in, gang!

    Summary

    "I think if we want to have this magical chill vibe that Darcy is so keen on we should set some boundaries. So I've got a rule. No hooking up with your housemates"

Living with a crush is one thing, but actually getting the chance to be with them? Another story.
    University AU where the whole gang is randomly assigned as housemates at uni.

    Summary

    London is never the easiest place to find your soulmate; in 2020, it was a bigger challenge than usual. Young adults Nick and Charlie are about to meet on the cusp of history.

    Note: The first 44 chapters, about 78K words, are a teen-rated slow burn.

    Then the epilogues have various levels of smut (all tagged in chapter author notes): some have none, some are M and a couple are E. Heads up: We have more epilogues drafted or in notes and plan to move all the epilogues to a sequel Work when the rest are ready to share. That way, both parts can be properly rated and tagged in the main fic area. Thanks for understanding!

    Summary

    Charlie Spring has been a physical therapist for the Leeds Badgers professional rugby team for two years. At the start of his third season, Nick Nelson is traded to the Badgers and both Nick and Charlie's worlds are turned upside down.

    Here it is, the Heartstopper x Sweater Weather crossover nobody but me clamored for! You do not need to read SW to read this fic. However, if you HAVEN'T read lumosinlove’s Sweater Weather (and Coast to Coast, and, well, everything), you absolutely should, because it is a remarkable piece of writing (as well as its own standalone AU).

    There will be parallels and divergences from both Heartstopper and Sweater Weather in this story.

    Do I know a ton about rugby? Nope! Do I live in England? I sure don't. Will I get a lot of things just wrong enough to be annoying? Definitely! Will there be science facts at the end of each chapter? I can’t help it. Enjoy the ride.

    Summary

    31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.

    Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.
