Rugby Sweater Weather by scienceisrealyo

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/41936007/chapters/105254631)

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.

Thoughts:

I've been down the Heartstopper rabbit hole ever since I finished season 2 of the show. Now, I just couldn't let go and started reading fanfics and at first I kept to ones close to canon but this is the first one I've ventured into AU and I LOVE it.

I'm currently on chapter 24 of 34 and it's been pure greatness and beautiful writing! The author also gives great recommendations of other authors and their stories, it's been great to add them to my list. Also, their ending notes include science facts and they've been fun to read as well.

The way they’ve developed Nick and Charlie’s love story in this universe is beautiful. The communication in this one is mind-blowing. Also, enthusiastic consent is the best here.  

Can’t wait to find out how this story is wrapped. I just know it’ll be one I’ll keep coming back to.

2023 year-end fic round-up

Thank you so much to @chocomd @itsmoonpeaches @northerngoshawk for the tag! awww, it's a wonderful kataang squad.

words written, published or not: I published 68,911 words on AO3. I publish most of the stuff I write (can you tell I like validation?) so that seems a good measure of my writing.

smut scenes written (if applicable:) two? one for oh, darling (kataang, atla) and some dream sex and religious trauma content for my petals are bruised (tara x darcy, heartstopper.) You can tell I'm funky and ace because I have an easier time writing about hypothetical sex or desire or messy emotions than actual sex.

new things I tried: OOOOH this one will be fun!

Finally actually wrote a multi-chap fic that I (mostly) FINISHED before I published, for i'm cold-blooded, love (heartstopper fic), which got published in 2024.

Can you tell I am very obsessed with writing about religious trauma? I worked a lot on my stories and wrote a lot about sanctity and blood and messy feelings. That's the major influence of i'm cold-blooded, love; my stomach churns (zukka, atla); in reverence (kataang, atla); it's all an epiphany (heartstopper); father, carry me (heartstopper); dance like nobody's watching (miss fisher's murder mysteries); and the heartstopper jolene AU. god is the worst gift that truly keeps on giving. he's a goddamn three-headed hydra.

Wrote a lot more Heartstopper 1000-word prompt fics!

Had fun writing about Graham & Karen from Daisy Jones. They're the cutest. I honestly should/could write more about them.

Attempting to disconnect my writing motivation from the satisfaction of getting comments and hits on ao3. is it working yet???

fic I spent the most time on: my spirit always drifts back to yours, the kataang kyoshi warrior AU that I hope will be finished. Sometime. When my hands and my brain are cooperating. I promise this fic matters a lot to me, I love it a lot, and I need to insert so much tenderness and smut in the future chapters. SOMETIME. SOMEDAY!

fic I spent the least time on: in the velvet water, aka the heartstopper AU where they meet at a swimming pool. Was really busy and happy that night so I just published without a second glance.

favorite thing i wrote: probably my petals are bruised, the tarcy jolene AU / lonely housewife AU, because I love writing about suburban malaise and religious trauma and sapphics so, so much. Can you tell that I am projecting? Loneliness in the suburbs sucks. Writing makes it better.

favorite thing I read: lavender fields by scienceisrealyo (heartstopper); @kaalee's Charlie Spring is Still Not Over Nick Nelson, which I was lucky enough to beta; all of the amazing kataang fics that came out this year for kataang week and for the smut weekend event; everything ever written about love (RWRB) by greenandmoss.

writing goals for 2024:

FINISH MY OPEN WIPS ON AO3. I like it when things are completed.

Don't publish a multichapter fic unless I know I can finish it on a regular schedule. I hate leaving loose threads all over the place.

Try to care less about the numbers and the validation. Writing is about joy, not about the size of the audience. but also it feels so nice to get validation and the circle of life cannot close unless creators get feedback on their work....

Be nicer to myself.

Write more???? mayhaps?

tagging: @kaalee @tinyarmedtrex @firenati0n @nostradamus0 @beachy--head @mothfluff and anyone else who wants to do this challenge! No pressure, really, to the people I've tagged. Do it if you want to.

Lavender Fields by scienceisrealyo

Update on my "currently reading journey" (yes, I'll go with this) I've made it to chapter 10! And it's been lovely... my intrusive thoughts did win (I've been fighting them off since I started this fic) and I went ahead and read the title of the next few chapters and I AM INTRIGUED AND EXCITED AND stopping myself from REALLY spoiling myself with what happens in the latest updated chapter... I really don't want to do that to myself.

Danny and James

Note: These characters are from Rugby Sweater Weather and Lavender Fields, two Heartstopper AU stories. I would 100% recommend reading RSW before reading this work! Lavender Fields is an AU, but you see more of Danny and James in that story as well 💜 Nick and Charlie will feature in this story, along with the Badgers, following along the same timeline as RSW and then extending past it.
