Summary
Charlie thinks agreeing to join the Truham rugby team at the request of Mrs Singh is possibly the worst decision he’s ever made. Then Nick Nelson, the St John’s fly half, sweeps him off his feet (literally) and Charlie decides maybe rugby isn’t so bad.
AKA: the Charlie and Nick are on rival rugby teams AU.

Bookmarker's Notes
In Short: Charlie joins Rugby on his own and meets Nick playing against St. Johns
Type: Canon alteration - Nick went to another school
Age: School
Premise:What if they needed an alternate rugby player and Coach Singh picked him for his speed and then he made friends with Christian Sai and Otis on his own but also ... still love at first "hi" with Nick Nelson (who plays for St. Johns).
Angst: low ... season 1 level or less
Burn: the whole storyDelights: So freaking cute. I cannot freaking even. Well written and (I presume) accurate as to the Rugby (with funny little comments). Adorable Insta chats and Tao still thinks Nick is the straightest person ... but also still comes to all Charlie's rugby matches. What do I love: Oh all of it. Charlie not knowing about sports, Nick thinking he's great at rugby. Charlie being secretly great at rugby (but realistically) Otis Sai and Christian being total sweeties. More Coach Singh time. Funny AF.

Summary
This is a Heartstopper love story. No, not Nick and Charlie. Not Elle and Tao. Not Tara and Darcy. Not even Mr. Ajayi and Mr. Farouk.
Or: What happens when two rugby lads — one stalled out, one starting over — reconnect in their late 20s.

In Short: The one about Christian and Sai. Nick is SO shocked.
Type: Canon extension
Purpose: HEA for someone else
Age: 30's
Premise: Hey, why couldn't these two cuties find love about 10 years after Nick and Charlie. They care about each other. And sometimes people are not straight. AKA they finally stop having to pay the "straight surcharge" at Nick and Charlie's fave gay bar!
Angst: Low ... they worry but nothing bad happens to anyone
Burn: Slow-ishDelights: VERY cute and funny and sweet. A number of complete LOL moments. "Nick.exe completely ceased to work." Some super cute fun friend moments. a really sweet romance. Nick and Charlie as matchmakers. the friend group. Sai is an architect and I CLAIM IT. Sweetness. Funniness. Funny Tao. Is Sai my favorite heartstopper character?

In short: Everyone can see it.
Type: Alternate POV Season 1
Age: School
Premise: You will LOL. Guaranteed. There's a year 12 boy sitting opposite Nick and Charlie in form the whole time. He's not trying to pay attention but ANYONE can see it.
Angst: Season 1 levels
Burn: Slow ... Season 1Delights: just ... a truly hilarious supplement to the show scenes of season 1 with the two love birds glowing at each other. so so funny. I had the same thought after season 1: "why do they have to come out? they have been SO OBVIOUS"

Summary
“Do you teach at Herne Bay?” Nick asked, curious to hear whether the man’s voice was as sharp as his cheekbones, or soft like his tight curls looked like they’d be under his fingertips.
The man just nodded, still not looking to Nick once.Nick & Charlie are teachers at rival primary schools. Charlie's a bit of a bristly bastard. Nick's a hopeless simp. Angst, hurt, comfort, fluff and everything in between. Buckle in, gang!

Bookmarker's Notes
In short: Rival teachers at primary school ... do not hit it off at first ... But find love eventually
WARNING: this fic may be permanently incomplete
Type: AU ish (everyone meets differently
Purpose: Processing biphobia and homophobia in the Church of England ... and sweethearts in love
Age: 20's
Premise: Nick and Charlie meet through their teaching jobs. Nick knows he's crushing but comes off as *danger straight sporty lad.* Charlie's deep in a really unhealthy relationship with Ben but eventually Nick's love is enough to bust him out of it and re-frame his world view.
Angst: Mid to high ... not because of DARKEST timeline or most damaged selves but just ... reality based challenges that make your heart hurt.
Burn: super slow ... but they get to lovey smut eventuallyDelights: Beautifully written ... thoroughly plotted. Slow burn and just so much Nick pining. Hard to read at times because it gets into 1) ben being awful 2) david being awful 3) internalized and external homophobia associated with religions. But just such a sweet, EARNED relationship between adult Nick and Charlie. A really complete and well developed world. In character everyone in slightly shifted situations. Completely engrossing - I was just ROOTING so hard for them in this.
Kind of heartbreaking that it stops where it does. Please come back and finish!
