Summary
Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.
Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

Summary
Nick Nelson, 24, is struggling to process the massive change of direction his life has taken in such a short period of time. Money is tight and his mental health is frayed.
His friends and family are worried about him, but he's fine, just fine. Honest.His best friends, Tara and Darcy, persuade him that the solution to his money worries is to rent out his spare room for 6 months. He just needs to find someone suitable.
Charlie Spring, 22, is fed up of being walked all over by his (ex) boyfriend. He needs to move out of their shared flat ASAP if Ben is ever going to accept that they are over. He just needs to find somewhere affordable and, preferably, available immediately - not an easy feat in London. His sister suggests he should look slightly further afield. Kent sounds like a good option.

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 Sahar means is, he looked like he’d descended from the homoerotic heavens,” Imogen said, for Charlie’s gay benefit.
“Yeah, whatever. But basically, the photo became a meme on campus. Someone dubbed that one guy Fit Nick, and it kind of caught on.”
“Can I see the photo?” Charlie asked.
Imogen grinned, already scrolling through her saved screenshots. “I knew you’d say that. Here.”
Charlie grabbed the phone and zoomed in. “Holy sh—”
Yeah. So that was the start of Charlie’s all-consuming, all-too-embarrassing crush on Nick Nelson.
When Leeds University’s resident heartthrob, Fit Nick, starts showing up at every Queer Intentions gig, Charlie responds in a completely normal, sane way.
or
Charlie tries to use Blank Space as a mating call.

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.

Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."

“No,” Nick said, looking appalled. “No. I refuse to accept that.”
“He does have better pet-name game,” Isaac observed. “...Thus far.”
They let those words sink in.
“You know what that means, Charlie?” Nick said slowly.
Charlie knew full well what it meant. “We already have pet names, though,” he pointed out. “Dork and idiot.”
“Yeah, but they’re not, like, romantic, are they?”
Nick and Charlie decide to experiment with pet names. Things get a little out of hand...
