Summary
Nick was thriving in uni.
He loved his friends, he loved his classes, he loved rugby, he loved life. If he had one complaint, it would be that he can’t see his boyfriend for weeks at a time. His flatmate says he should forget Charlie and live the typical college student experience, but Nick has no desire to do that.
Luckily, Charlie is coming to Leeds for the first time to visit Nick. He just hopes Charlie has a good time.

Summary
Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.
He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.
Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”
xx
A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

“What’s going on over there?” Elle said, sniffling. “I feel like I’ve missed something.”
“Oh, not much,” Tao hummed. “It’s just that… Charlie wants to snog the next door neighbour.”
Charlie groaned, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes. A flush painted his entire body the colour of the cherry tree seedlings outside.
“Tao, come on,” Isaac said. Charlie thought, finally. They’ve had their fun and they’re going to leave it alone now. “Charlie wants to shag the next-door neighbour.”

Summary
Elle’s voice is scraped into tin by the phone’s speaker, but Charlie’s headphones are unreachably tangled in the bottom of the backpack dangling off one shoulder as he swings around the corner between flights of stairs. Her giggle is melodic, even so.
“… don’t know how you thought it was going to go better this time, considering …” She breaks into giggles, again.
“What is that supposed to mean?” he retorts, unwisely, because he has reached the landing of his own floor at the halls and she’s still on speaker.
“I know we promised to stay out of your dating life, Charlie, but can we please institute a rule that you do not go on a date if he’s actually started the conversation with a dick pi—”

"Did you just bite me?" He presses himself back into the pillows behind him, away from Nick, so he can look him in the eye. Nick, again, is smiling.

Summary
Charlie Spring is attacked and left with serious injuries, he can't remember what happened or who hurt him, at first.
He's now able to go back to school and tries to move on from this life altering event, but Nick Nelson is acting suspiciously nice and Ben Hope has stopped ignoring him.
None of that really matters to Charlie though, it feels like he's drowning and he's not able to swim.

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
“What do you know about Nick Nelson?”
Charlie freezes, certain that he’s hallucinating. “Er, sorry?”
“Nick Nelson.” Mr. Farouk turns the screen of his desktop so Charlie can catch a glimpse of the photo he’s pulled up.
Nick Nelson stares back at him, his beaming face red and sweaty and covered in streaks of mud. He is also, most notably, hoisting up last year’s rugby league Challenge Cup trophy in his arms, balanced precariously on his team’s shoulders after an astonishing win by the Leeds Rhinos he’d undoubtedly contributed to.
Charlie begins to feel faint.
Or: In which Charlie and Nick become nothing more than acquaintances back in Truham, instead crossing paths again in their adulthood as a budding journalist tasked with writing a feature on a rising rugby star.

Rugby Sweater Weather by scienceisrealyo

Tags
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
Before Charlie could look away, Nick caught him staring. His eyes were helpless and imploring and, fuck, Charlie couldn’t ignore him now without seeming like an arsehole.
“You okay?” he asked tentatively.
Nick hesitated, then sat down on the edge of the rain-slicked pavement with an exhausted sigh. “Not really.”
The rugby lot on the first floor—otherwise known as the Frat Floor—are notorious for partying, getting piss drunk, and keeping the rest of the student building up at four in the morning. So when Charlie finds Nick Nelson throwing up one night, he assumes the rugby lad brought it on himself.
He soon realises two things. Firstly, how wrong he is. And secondly, that Nick has no one to take care of him. Unless Charlie takes matters into his own hands.
OR
Nick winds up with a bad case of freshers’ flu and no one to help him (because his friends are useless). Charlie steps in to make sure he’s looked after. Feelings ensue.

Summary
Static filled Charlie’s ears. He didn’t have the best history with rugby players. “I’m interviewing the whole rugby team?”
Anthony chuckled. “No, no, just the new captain, Nick Nelson. He was named captain even though he’s only a second year, and he’s apparently being scouted this season to play professionally. We wanted just a sort of spotlight article on him. Ted had questions prepared so I’ll email those to you. Thank you so much, Charlie, you’re really saving us here!”
Or, Charlie has to fill in for a sport's reporter and has a very intriguing (and hot) interviewee.

Summary
I couldn’t bear it any longer. I gathered him into a tight hug, blanket and all. My cheek pressed against his neck, and I was reminded once again of the heat coming off his skin. “You’re running a temp,” I murmured.
“Am I?” Charlie said blearily.
“Yep.” I stroked back his curls and pressed a kiss to his too-warm brow. “You self-sacrificial idiot. What am I going to do with you?”
When the Truham rugby team is down two players ahead of their upcoming match, Nick turns to Charlie for help. Little does he know, Charlie isn’t feeling too well himself.
But of course, Charlie agrees to play anyway. And they both have to deal with the consequences.
or
An absolute saga of a sickfic feat. sick!Charlie and later sick!Nick, questionable self-care and a whole lot of cuddles.
