Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
He doesn't really know why Rozanov and Hollander were at Scott's apartment in the first place, considering they are on different teams. Hollander, he can vaguely understand Scott and he seem friendly with the way Scott talks about the younger player (not counting the spat they got into last season, which Scott deserved)

“Look, I know you’ve got this...thing...for Rozanov.”

Summary
Charlie Spring is not happy with his mother at the moment. Seriously, what kind of parent signs up to house a foreign exchange student without consulting their own children first? More importantly, what kind of foreign exchange student chooses Texas? Out of all the states! This is going to be an absolute nightmare.
˗ˋˏ OR ˎˊ˗
An alternate universe where Charlie Spring’s family is hosting an exchange student from the UK named Nick Nelson. It doesn’t take long for Charlie to become completely infatuated with this sexy brit, but there’s a big problem: He’s completely straight and completely taken.
Or is he?
This is half a romanticization of High School in the liberal area of Texas that I grew up in, and the other half two boys falling in love against the odds. Enjoy (please)!

101 Reasons I Hate Frat Boys by Itstmdmani
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)
09 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Charlie Spring doesn’t have time for frat boys. He especially doesn’t have time for Nick Nelson, who sits next to him in Environmental Science, lives across the hall, and seems to enjoy making Charlie’s life a living hell.
It’s bad enough that Charlie keeps making questionable choices with Nick’s frat brother, but now he’s stuck being Nick’s lab partner for an entire term. Which means late-night arguments, and an increasing amount of Nick invading Charlie’s space, his thoughts, and—unfortunately—his sex life.
Charlie is absolutely not into him. Nope. Not at all.
⚠️ CONTENT WARNING FOR THIS FIC ⚠️
Unhealthy coping mechanisms (alcohol, avoidance, reckless behavior)
Power plays/dominance struggles in sexual and emotional contexts
Messy, petty, and toxic relationship dynamics (that will eventually have payoff, but we’re suffering a lot first)
Aggressive physical interactions (pushing, shoving, grabbing—always within the bounds of their dynamic, but intense nonetheless)
Charlie Spring being an absolute menace to society
If you’re here for the chaotic, messy, slow-burn tension, you’re in the right place. Just know what you’re getting into.- Language:

Summary
Nick Nelson is doing so much better. He's got a good job as the Head Carpenter at Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia, has good friends, and has navigated his way through a rough couple of years only to emerge a stronger, more self-assured, and passionate version of himself. But then he gets a message from Charlie Spring. Yeah, that Charlie Spring. His former best friend. The first person he ever loved. The person he drunkenly confessed his feelings to in a move so chaotic that Charlie hasn't spoken to him since. Can this new and improved version of Nick find a way to be friends with Charlie again without getting his heart broken for a second time?

A song that really feels like it hits the notes of this story is Ivy by Frank Ocean. Take a listen to get into the mood.

Summary
“What was Nick’s last name?” Oliver asks.
Charlie nearly chokes on a sip of his drink. “Sorry, what?”
“Nick. Your Nick. What was his last name?”
“Nelson. Why?”
“My form teacher’s name is Mr. Nelson. I think he’s new this year.”
For a moment, Charlie’s brain halts to a complete stop. He hasn’t talked to Nick Nelson in three years. Hasn’t thought about him in almost as long. It can't be the same Nelson. But what if it is?
OR
Nick and Charlie broke up at the start of Charlie's first year of uni. Unplanned circumstances brought Nick back home to Truham, where he's starting his first teaching job at his old school. When he gets his class lists, Nick is surprised to see Oliver Spring's name in his form group. As if the first year of teaching isn't stressful enough! Meanwhile, Charlie is shocked to hear that Nick is back in town and teaching his younger brother. But what's gone is gone. Charlie can't have Nick back in his life, even as a friend. Especially not when Charlie's too terrified to step even one foot outside of his flat. He can't need Nick Nelson again. But what if Nick needs him?

Summary
Nick & Charlie would find each other in any universe. But what would happen if they had each found someone else first? A story about the complexities (i.e. messiness) of being human, desire, love, how sometimes things happen out of order, and, of course…being “bad”. 😈
