    Summary

    And then Shane hammered it home, “This isn’t real.”

    He was going to leave. He came here so that he could leave. So that he could end whatever the fuck this was between them in person so he could feel good about it. Because Shane wasn’t an asshole – no, that was Ilya’s job.

    Fuck that.

    If Shane was going to leave anyway, then Ilya might as well put it all on the table, “It is to me.”
    ---
    OR: Shane tries to run away after they say each other's names for the first time. Ilya chases after him and makes them talk it out.

    Summary

    First Light - Between darkness and sunrise lies a glimmer of hope and the promise of a new day.

    27-year-old Nick Nelson finds himself living temporarily back at home with his mum following the end of his rugby career and his long term relationship. Needing a new focus he finds himself trawling the internet one night and discovers a mesmerising opportunity, the kind of opportunity he'd usually be quick to turn down, because that's what he's always done, stayed safe, taken the obvious path, and look where that's got him!
    Deciding to go for it, he's expecting hard work, long hours and no social life.
    What he's not expecting are a whole host of new neighbours and friends, including one who makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself.
    However, Nick is hiding a big secret. A secret that, if revealed, could drive a wedge between him, his new friends and the one person he never knew he needed in his life.

    Summary

    All gay panics start with a mildly confusing sex dream.

    Or - at least all of Nick Nelson's gay panics (just one so far) start that way.

    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.
