Summary
Charlie Spring is a 19-year-old university student struggling in his daily life. He hates his major. He hates his shitty apartment. He hates it that every time he wants to eat a little voice in his head tells him bad things are going to happen if he does.
The story starts with Charlie who has just broken up with his ex Ben Hope, who let's be honest didn't really care about him. Charlie doesn't really think he deserves a nice relationship let alone happiness until he meets cute blond rugby player Nick Nelson at his local coffee shop.
Only problem? The boy is definitely straight, or so Charlie thinks.
A sweet retelling of the heartstopper story, aged up a bit, in a college setting.
TW : This fic will eventually discuss issues such as mental illness, eating disorders, and sexual assault.

Summary
“This isn’t the first time Nick has noticed Charlie Spring. It’s hard not to see him with his dark curls and fine bone structure and cool blue eyes that seem to contain uncharted depths. Nick once spent a lunch period watching Charlie scrawl in a notebook, mapping the movements of slender fingers and delicate wrists while the rest of his peers threw food at each other and kicked around a muddy football. All he wanted to know was what Charlie was writing: what held his attention so much that the rest of the world melted away?”

Summary
Charlie looked shyly around the circle of other patients waiting for the therapist. He felt his jaw slacken as his eyes focused on the startled face of the man seated directly across from him.
A man he recognised.
Nick Nelson.
At least, he was pretty sure that was Nick Nelson staring back at him. He looked a little worse for wear, but Charlie supposed he wouldn’t be here if that wasn’t the case.

Summary
Charlie’s fingers brushed against skin, and he nearly jumped at the jolt of electricity that ran down his arm at the contact. His eyes flew up and he felt his world turn upside down.
Warm brown eyes clashed with his. Eyes that belonged to a handsome face with a strong jaw and a scruffy beard with a hint of red in it. Dirty blonde hair sat atop his head, pushed perfectly to the side as if it didn’t need a salon’s worth of product to do so, and his neck gave way to a pair of the broadest shoulders Charlie had ever seen.
Fuck.
After his tumultuous teenage years, Charlie Spring is content leading a quiet life as an English teacher at Truham Grammar School. But when he meets the new PE teacher, Nick Nelson, Charlie's world is quickly turned upside down, and he finds he's all too willing to let it happen.

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.
