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
From the Scots word for ‘seal’, a selkie was a seal who could take on human form. A common element in all the selkie-folk tales, and perhaps the most important, is that in order to shapeshift, they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay the power to return to seal form, and therefore the sea. If this sealskin was lost, or stolen, the creature was doomed to remain in human form until it could be recovered. The most common theme in selkie folklore is one in which a cunning young man acquires, either by trickery or theft, a selkie’s sealskin. This prevents her from returning to the sea, leaving the selkie with no choice but to marry her captor.

In which Nick, a Scottish fisherman, develops an all-consuming crush on Ben Hope’s beautiful and mysterious new boyfriend, Charlie.

Summary
This fic is on Hiatus, til further notice sry
Sure, he’s not looking for love, but is respect too much to ask for?
Apparently so, Charlie thinks as he continues to scroll through his messages. He sighs and almost decides to give up on Grindr for the night and switch over to his group chat with his friends. He clicks over to the browse tab again – one last time – and sees someone he definitely hadn’t seen a minute ago.
Nick, 23
----------------------------------------------------------------
Face the world again, firm and courageous.
Then all your troubles will fade from your memory
like floods that are past and remembered no more
Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon
and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn
(Good News Translation, Job 11:15-17)I am not at all religious and neither is this story. But I do believe that sometimes we can find a light in the most abysmal places and we can be that light for someone currently shrouded in darkness.
This is a story about the light.

Summary
Picking up from the RSW Danny epilogue, Danny and James figure out what it looks like to be together.
Note: These characters are from Rugby Sweater Weather and Lavender Fields, two Heartstopper AU stories. I would 100% recommend reading RSW before reading this work! Lavender Fields is an AU, but you see more of Danny and James in that story as well 💜 Nick and Charlie will feature in this story, along with the Badgers, following along the same timeline as RSW and then extending past it.
