Summary
“Well, apparently they were kissing at Harry’s party. Like, properly kissing.”
“Yeah, well, it was probably a dare.”
“Nick probably felt sorry for the other guy. Isn’t he the one that was bullied last year for being gay?”
“But Nick’s straight isn’t he? There’s no way Nick Nelson’s gay.”
“It must have been a joke.”
“But was it really a kiss, or like, are people exaggerating? Because I can’t imagine Nick Nelson actually making out with a guy.”Instead of Paris, Nick choses to come out at a party somewhat reminiscent of Tara and Darcy’s moment. School gossip is rife. Nick hears the whispering as it spreads, and spends the morning contemplating what it really means to be out. A fic spawned from one throw away line from an unnamed character in Season One.

Summary
Charlie Spring, promising rower and outstanding cox, was never meant to study at Cambridge. He wasn’t meant to fall for his rival, either.
Charlie was meant for Oxford, where he began his first year. But nothing went as planned. After a brutal assault, he transfers to Cambridge for his second year, hoping to escape Oxford and the wreckage. There, he finds a new team, a new purpose, and Nick Nelson, star rower with golden-boy charm and far too much to hide.
What begins as animosity turns into something charged and inescapable. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. When the truth surfaces, Charlie and Nick must decide what’s worth risking for a future that might finally be theirs.
Over the course of three academic years, through racing seasons and emotional healing Charlie and Nick’s lives continue to intersect. Their story becomes one of rivalry, resilience, friendship and love.

Summary
"Nick knows, in theory, that today is the day of the author visit. It’s been added to the school calendar, he even mentioned it himself in morning briefing, and Tara has been in constant email communication with him about it. This doesn’t stop him from doing a poorly-hidden double-take when Darcy brings their visitor through to meet him.
Should have known better than to stereotype, thinks Nick, internally berating himself. The most gorgeous man he has ever seen, is currently standing in front of his desk. A riot of dark curls sits atop a tall slender frame, with the bluest of blue eyes staring warmly out of an elfin face. This gorgeous man holds out his hand for Nick to shake, and Nick resists the impulsive urge to grab it and run away with him. “Hi. I’m Charlie Spring.”
AU. Nick is the headteacher of St Elias Primary School. He's in his 30s, depressed, and painfully single.
This is the story of how Nick and Charlie find each other after years of feeling lost.

Summary
Nick is 30 years old and coming to terms with his bisexuality for the first time in his life. He decides it might be time to go to therapy only he finds himself in the situation of meeting the man of his dream in the form of his therapist.
A story about what happens when you love someone you're not allowed to - and the mistakes made along the way.
It's in the tags but - please be aware it's not my intention to produce a morality free fic, where we are fetishizing a patient therapist relationship - it's about what happens when you meet the right person in entirely the wrong circumstances and if there is ever a way to redefine a relationship as something new. Much more on this topic in the notes!!
"He looks to the source of the soft, kindly voice from the doorway in the corner of the waiting room. He swallows thickly. This wasn’t what therapists were meant to look like. Not that he needed an old man in tweed with a beard, or a grey haired lady in her 50s wearing tie die and sandals but.... surely therapists weren’t allowed to be this ... hot. Fuck."

Summary
“I am so gonna get fired.“
Isaac gave him a sympathetic smile. “Was it that bad?“
Charlie shook his head, trying to find the words to describe what talking to Nick had been like.
“I have no idea how to make a story out of this. I hate to admit it but I think Tao might be right. There is nothing to Nick Nelson apart from his good looks.“---
Canon divergence – Nick and Charlie both went to Truham but didn’t sit in form together and never talked to each other. Years later they meet again when journalist Charlie is supposed to write a feature article about rugby star Nick Nelson.
