    Summary

    Nick (33) and Charlie (31) are both therapists working at a community mental health center in Nashville, Tennessee. Nick works with children as a play therapist, and Charlie works with teens. Being in different departments means they haven't really noticed one another. That is, until they are assigned seats together at a boring clinical training and disruptive laughter ensues.

    Nick is frustrated with dating as a demi bi guy, and Charlie is new to dating while sober, without the usual party scene. Nick helps Charlie discover parts of himself he wasn't even aware existed. Charlie tests Nick's perfectionism with his messy joy.

    The story of a friendship that flips its switch when they're both ready for more ❤️

    Summary

    This could’ve been the best thing that ever happened to me, but instead it’s the absolute worst. When I heard that we were going to have vertical form groups at the start of the new term, I never imagined that the universe had a fucked up sense of humour.

    See the thing is, the guy who just sat down next to me with the dark curls and the stormy eyes, his name is Charlie Spring. I’ve had a massive crush on him for the better part of a year… and I’m pretty sure he has no idea who I even am. Or if he does then he probably doesn’t have a good opinion of me. And now not only is he in my form group, but he’s been assigned to sit right next to me.

    This could’ve been a great way for us to finally actually meet; I wouldn’t have to think up some elaborate reason to get to talk to him, I could just strike up casual conversations and we could get to know each other. Then when I finally got the courage to confess, I wouldn’t be some random stranger.

    It could’ve been the best thing… except…

    Summary

    16 year's after Heartstopper began, but in a universe where Nick and Charlie had not yet met. Charlie still went to Truham Grammar School, but Nick did not, neither did Charlie's other love interest/bully Ben Hope. Charlie was never actually outed at school either, but still bullied.

    Charlie is starting his new job as music teacher, he is nervous as this is his first teaching job. Who is that crazy man running out on the frosty school field so early in the morning, in shorts?

    Nick can't believe it's happening to him again, what is it with music teachers? But this time feels different.

    Sparks fly instantly between the PE teacher and new music teacher. It's not long before Mr. Spring and Mr. Nelson are falling hard for each other, but they both have their own demons from their past and new challenges to overcome together.

    *Trigger warnings will be added for mentions of abusive relationships (not explored with detail), mental health, violence (there is very little) and homophobia/biphobia*
    *This fic includes explicit sex scenes (all loving and consensual)*

    Summary

    A non-linear exploration of physical intimacy following trauma, based on my own queer experiences, and diverging from canon after panel 1358 of the webcomic. Watch Nick and Charlie grow up and learn what changes over a lifetime shared together. All acts age-appropriate at the time in-story.

    ON HIATUS but this fic will be completed and the pause point is a pleasant place to wait, IMHO

    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!
