Summary
After another disappointing relationship fizzles out before it starts, Charlie Spring finds himself wanting to reconnect with one of his former best friends (and on again off again crush), Nick Nelson. But how do you get back in touch with a person who drunkenly confessed his feelings to you, whose heart you broke in the process, and who you haven't spoken to in years?
___Or, the one where guidance counselor Charlie finally realizes hot carpenter Nick has loved him for years, and has to convince him to give him one more chance before it's too late.
___
This fic has inspired a sister story, told from Nick's POV: Remember Me.
If you enjoy this one, join me over there! It's not a straight re-telling; it's a standalone story that focuses on Nick's perspective and fills in some of the gaps from this one.Thanks to AO3 user KariCl569 for pointing me toward the song "The Promise" by Tracy Chapman. It's beautiful and so fitting.

Summary
Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈

Summary
It was just before 10am as the metropolitan tube pulled up to Baker Street station and that's where I saw him. I hadn't seen that face for coming up to ten years, but I thought about it every single day. He was less skinny than he had been as a teenager, but he was still slender, his face shape more masculine now he was a man rather than a boy.
An old face appears and an obsession is rekindled.
Prologue published for the Heartstopper Ao3 Discord Anonymous Fic Challenge.

Rugby Sweater Weather by scienceisrealyo

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.
