Breaking the Rules by xxbeignetsNcoffeexx
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)
12 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Head Boy Charlie Spring is finishing Year 13. He has always followed the rules. Nick Nelson has spent his first year at Leeds trying very hard to be good.
They’ve become surprisingly good at long distance. Patient. Careful. Sensible. The problem is… they miss each other.
And distance has a way of making small things louder. Suggestive selfies. Late-night texts. Wanting each other in ways that are getting harder to ignore.
They’ve been good for a long time... Summer might finally test how good they really are.
---
A continuation of Part 1: By the Book about longing, jealousy, and the moment restraint starts wearing thin.
Can be read alone, but it hits harder if you were there the first time they stood on opposite sides of an assembly hall.
Or
Nick and Charlie start questioning the whole “no hanky-panky” rule.

Summary
After losing his husband four years ago, Charlie Spring has worked hard to build a comfortable new life for himself: two adorable dogs, a cozy cabin in his hometown, and a rewarding job archiving the works of local gay poet Finn Bryson. But when a film company decides to adapt Bryson's life into a movie, Charlie is hired to help prepare the lead actor. Nick Nelson is a stunningly handsome, wildly popular film star—but as far as Charlie can tell, he's also a world-class snob.
AU with fluff, flirting, karaoke, hayrides, Taco Bell, and a lot of bad disguises.
Also some angst! But always a happy ending.**Complete at Chapter 36, anything beyond is a deleted scene**

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.
or
Adult Nick and Charlie meet in inpatient. A story about hope, and the beauty that lies just on the other side of pain.

Summary
Nick didn't follow Charlie into the music block after rugby practice and their lives went in different directions. Twelve years later they meet again by chance.
Not a slow burn, more like rapid inferno. They've got lost time to make up for.
There will be discussion of Charlie's issues around food, his history of self-harm, and the occasional inconvenient side effect from taking an SSRI.For the sake of this story, I have invented a premiership team called The London Artillery. Go Cannons!

Summary
Inspired by Date Me, Bryson Keller.
Everyone knows about the bet. Each week, Nick Nelson, the Rugby King of Truham Grammar, must date someone new — the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes.
Charlie Spring is shocked when Nick agrees to secretly date him. But as the week goes by, Charlie discovers there's more to Nick than he'd previously realized, and the fake dating starts to feel an awful lot like real dating. As he gets in deeper and deeper, can Charlie deal with the fact that this relationship will end after one week? After all, Nick is popular, handsome and straight. Right?

Summary
If you prefer no spoilers just read the summary but if you need to know what you're getting into check the tags...
"Honey, I'm home.”
Nick is through the door of our flat with his usual greeting and my heart races. I look down at the man beneath me that I’m currently buried balls deep in, a look of confusion spreading across his face.
“Charlie?” Nick’s voice carries through the hallway.
Oh God.

Rugby Sweater Weather by scienceisrealyo
Fandoms: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)
02 Feb 2026
Tags
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.
