Highest ranks: #2 in #heartstopper 🍂 #1 in #charliespring 💛 This Heartstopper AU diverges midway through Alice Oseman's novella "Nick and Charlie." In this AU, Nick and Charlie never resolve their misunderstanding and break up before Nick heads to Uni. Years later, a chance encounter brings them together again, and nothing will ever be the same. **All rights to the Heartstopper characters and universe belong to Alice Oseman. This is an independent work of fanfiction and no copyright infringement is intended.**

Nick and Charlie, from Alice Oseman's wonderful books and graphic novels are now in their early twenties and they are still in love. SMUT WARNING for a few chapters. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS this is just for fun. This will include mature subject matter and language, some of which may be triggering, including eating disorders, self harm, depression, alcohol consumption, violence, car accident, trauma, and sex. It's a little fluffy, a little smutty, and pretty emotional. Thank you for reading.

Teach my Hearth to Stop is an alternate universe fan fiction inspired by Alice Oseman's Heartstopper characters Nick and Charlie and some of their friends. Inspiration is drawn from the books and the Netflix show. It is set 16 year's after Heartstopper began, but in a universe where Nick and Charlie had not yet met. Charlie still went to Truham Grammar School, but Nick did not, neither did Charlie's other love interest/bully Ben. Charlie was never actually outed at school either, but still bullied. Charlie is starting his new job as music teacher, he is nervous as this is his first teaching job. Who is that crazy man running out on the frosty school field so early in the morning, in shorts? Nick can't believe it's happening to him again, what is it with music teachers? But this time feels different. Sparks fly instantly between the PE teacher and new music teacher. It's not long before Mr. Spring and Mr. Nelson are falling hard for each other, but they both have their own demons from their past and new challenges to overcome together. This is one of the many universes where Nick and Charlie find each other. This is the love story of Mr. Spring and Mr. Nelson. *I acknowledge the characters from the Osemanverse are not mine and I have no legal rights to them.* *This Nick and Charlie are in their 30s.
