Summary
Charlie watches as the broad figure of his favourite customer slips through the door and disappears into the darkness of the bleak winter evening. He’s eternally grateful for the fact that the shop has pretty much emptied out now, and Elliot is occupied with washing up in the back room, giving him a moment alone to sigh dreamily to himself as he stares after him and lets the residual fluttering in his stomach settle back down to normal.
—————
Or, Charlie is slowly having his soul crushed working as a barista, but at least he has the daily visit from his favourite regular customer to look forward to. A coffee shop AU.

Rugby Sweater Weather by scienceisrealyo
Fandoms: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)
08 Jun 2026

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
Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring have spent the past five years as little more than acquaintances, with their only contact being the occasional holiday message, birthday wish, or half-hearted reply in the Paris Squad group chat following their break-up during the summer after Nick finished Year 13. Despite the time and distance, a chance encounter brings them closer, and a certain scrapbook and shoebox begin to mean more than they reasonably should. Will they be able to work through their problems together, or will old wounds resurface and threaten any progress they make? After all, loving each other has never been difficult for them. But figuring out how to fix what was broken might be.

Summary
Sometimes, the people who our lives are the ones we never expected to meet. Nick and Charlie couldn't seem much different, One is naturally outgoing and adventurous, and always ready for whatever comes next, while the other is quieter, more thoughtful, and much more comfortable with a good book than a crowded room. But somehow, they find themselves drawn into each other's lives. What begins with an unexpected meeting soon becomes something neither of them quite knows how to define. As they spend more time together, Nick discovers there is more to Charlie than meets the eye. And Charlie begins to wonder if maybe stepping outside his comfort zone isn't such a bad thing after all. Neither of them knows where this new connection will take them. But sometimes, the most important journeys begin with simply finding the right person.

But the moment his eyes meet those of one brown-eyed hot boat guy, Charlie can’t help thinking it might not have been such a bad idea after all. Sightseeing might even be very interesting.
