    Sarah
    Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

    Jackie
    Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.

    Jackie has added Lily to the conversation

    Lily

    what is this

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.

    Summary

    A Heartstopper California AU where Nick (31) and the HS crew we know and love live in SoCal. Charlie (29) leaves his London office to work in San Diego for a year. Nellie makes a new puppy bestie. Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he's deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he's safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂

    ⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire

    Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂”
    Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂”

    …so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections 🫶🏻

    Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is a hotshot rookie rugby player with a reputation for being an asshole — one his professional achievements don't yet allow for. When an incident with a barista goes viral and threatens to derail contract negotiations, his manager Tara Jones makes Nick team up with a snobby public relations expert named Charlie Spring to rehabilitate his image. It’s immediately clear Nick and Charlie loathe one another. But is that heat hiding something more?

    Summary

    Maybe he’d witness her finally reach level 532 on Candy Crush and celebrate with her over a chocolate digestive. Maybe he’d carry on dipping biscuits into cups of tea and seeing whose disintegrated first for the next year. Maybe he’d share sly smiles and winks at Nick’s expense with the woman sporting a brown bob into the summer months, possibly even beyond.

    A look into Charlie & Sarah's relationship over the years.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Sure, okay. I’ll do it,” Nick mumbles. “Two weeks? That won’t be so bad.”

    God, what has he gotten himself into? Confident, social Nick is long gone, swept away with dirty diapers, sleepless nights, scraped knees, and, oh yeah, an absentee partner. Fuck, when was the last time he spoke to Megan? Alex was two, so . . . four years ago? Not that he would change any of this. Of course not. Alex is the best thing that ever happened to him. Peaking in college isn’t so bad, right? It’s him and Alex against the world now. And Charlie’s about to be a part of their world, at least for two weeks.

    🍂 🍂 🍂

    Nick is a 30-year-old single dad and teacher living in Ohio. Charlie is a 29-year-old university professor and author living in London. When Charlie takes a temporary teaching position with Ohio State, Tara convinces Nick to let Charlie stay with him and his son. It's only for a couple weeks, until Charlie finds a more suitable arrangement. But what if this arrangement works out better than either of them expected?

    January
    “Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways, we’re not.
    We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.”
    -Paul Auster

    Fates collide and coincidences abound as Nick and Charlie’s lives entwine in numerous ways one eventful January.

    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

    Derek's a drifter with no home, no destination, and no will to live. Stiles works on his family's failing cattle and horse ranch while all his friends are going off to college. When Derek falls asleep in a random barn, exhausted and half-starved, he doesn't expect to wake up on the other end of the sheriff's shotgun. And Stiles sure as hell doesn't expect his dad to invite the drifter in for breakfast.

    At age nineteen, Stiles Stilinski was the next big thing, according to The Guardian. It was surreal, not being able to turn on Sky Sports without hearing his name mentioned along with the names of players he grew up idolizing. Stiles couldn’t believe that this was his life.

    31/M/New York. Rich, lays in bed all day, likes to read (aka Derek Hale, son of an Oscar winning actress, brother of one obnoxious reality star and one rebellious fashion designer, hates the paparazzi so much he's a recluse)

    26/M/California. Boring office job, likes to read (aka Stiles Stilinski, co-owner of a 100 acre organic farm with his dad and two best friends, writer of obits for a newspaper, has absolutely no life)

    Summary

    Derek’s face turns bright red. “What…were you listening to me?”

    Stiles opens his mouth, ready to tell Derek that the Derek had led him here with the music like some sort of snake charmer, and he can’t believe how good Derek is, and will Derek please play something else because listening to him had been the first thing to make Stiles happy since he’d woken up this morning. Then his mouth snaps shut as he remembers that he’s talking to Derek Hale. The boy who used to be his best friend. The boy he’s been watching Jackson torture all throughout high school. The boy whose summer transformation from sullen wimp to sex god has been keeping Stiles’s brain and dick occupied all day with some very inappropriate fantasies.

    So instead he just says lamely, “Did you write that?”

    #

    Derek is the school loner who plays the piano and Stiles is the jock who becomes enamored of Derek and his music. It could be a “Hallelujah Chorus” kind of love, if they’re able to forgive the past and brave the present together--and deal with the person who has been in love with Stiles for years, and won't give Stiles up without a fight.
