    Summary

    Sweet, lovely, persuasive little thing. Wilhelm felt intoxicated every time he so much as thought of him. His mouth ached with the need to say Simon’s name, his lips burned with the memories, and his heart twisted with a tenderness that made him feel almost fragile.
    He could only pray it was a temporary madness that would fade with time, because he knew too well that nothing could come of it, not really. Still, he was certain he'd never felt this way before. And he was careful in his assessment, too: he’d always rolled his eyes at the characters on TV shows who whispered, lovesick and doe-eyed, “I have never felt this way about anyone ever.”

     


    Wilhelm is caught in a consuming infatuation with someone who can never truly be his. Struggling to reconcile his feelings, he tries to ignore the longing, but it lingers, a constant ache beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Simon is overwhelmed by the burdens of his work and the unresolved ghosts of his past, leaving little room for anything else. As he navigates his tangled emotions, love seems like the last thing on his mind — until, perhaps, it isn’t.

    Summary

    Sometimes it only takes a single look to know – this is the one I want, this is the one I will love to the end, this is the one to ruin me. Wilhelm, the Crown Prince of Sweden, is caught by a pair of dark, defiant eyes, as the song rises higher, echoing through the stone church like a holy hymn.

    OR what if Wille was the older brother, born to be the Crown Prince?

    Summary

    When Wilhelm loses his brother weeks before the end of his second year of uni and is left alone with his grief, a pre-booked summer trip around Europe, and no one to take in Erik's place, he finds himself inviting Simon, his former high school best friend (and long-time crush). The only problem? Wilhelm and Simon haven't spoken for two years, and the last time they did, Simon kissed Wilhelm, and everything between them got horribly and irrevocably awkward. But with eight weeks to spend travelling Europe in each other's company, all they've got to do now is avoid anything like that happening again. Simple. Easy.

    But, if it did... what happens on the continent stays on the continent, right?

    Summary

    On the night of his 21st birthday, Olly Spring has a delicious encounter with a stranger in a club. This is just what he needs before heading off to Kent for two weeks of family events leading up to his brother Charlie's wedding with the love of his life, Nick Nelson.

    When David Nelson hooks up with a beautiful, young, curly haired man at a club, he hopes it won’t turn out to be a colossal mistake. But once he finds out who the man is, he thinks he's made the second-worst mistake of his life.

    It's been roughly 13 years since David slept with Charlie Spring in the summer that Nick and Charlie were broken up. It's been over a decade since Nick and Charlie mended things. The relationship between David and Nick healed, but could a chance encounter at a club undo all their hard work?

    Or:
    The illegal love child of Absurdism and No Way Back (or an Absurdism and No Way Back Salad, as I've been calling it in my head). Thank you to the wonderful authors of these works for giving me permission to play around with their timelines and characters (both OCs and their versions of Alice's characters). Think of this as fanfiction of a fanfiction, if you will.

    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!

    Summary

    Prince Wilhelm (age 25) hires an escort to lose his virginity*, it's just a casual situation. He can totally handle not falling in love with the most beautiful person he's ever laid eyes on. He can totally handle his mother (the Queen of Sweden) finding out about his high-class escort and using it to get what she wants from him. He can totally handle not getting jealous of anyone who gets to just be in Simon Eriksson's life.

    Except he can't handle any of those things.

    Summary

    And finally, he says what Simon has known and kept secret for over a decade now - I’m queer.

    - and incredibly proud to be so. I hope that by sharing my truth, it will encourage -

    Simon turns off his phone, the resounding click in his ears deafening as he stares at his own reflection in the blackened screen. He looks pale and gray, like he hasn’t been sleeping or eating enough.
    ____

    Or: Wilhelm never returned to Hillerska after winter break. Ten years later, Simon watches him come out on national television. Then, they reconnect.

    Summary

    mi cotufita (noun—possessive); 1 in Spanish: my little popcorn (affectionate). 2 to Simon: Wille.  

    (9:16)
    Maybe next time we won't screw up and we can actually do some screwing

    (9:16)
    Wille.

    (9:17)
    Of each other.

    (9:18)
    Wille you did NOT need to clarify that I knew exactly what you meant, jesus CHRIST on a crouton

    After the… unique start to their relationship, Wille and Simon only have each other in the flesh for a single semester at Hillerska before they have to endure the entire summer break apart. Again. But the distance between them this time is infinitely more torturous, because now they know exactly what they're missing.

    (Or, 5 times Wille and Simon fail spectacularly trying to virtually get it on and then how 1 night changes everything.)

    A hopefully hilarious—then frankly filthyofficial & complete sequel to call me up late by royalwilmon.

    Summary

    The first time Wille heard Simon sing, he thought no playlist, no recording, maybe nothing ever again would be able to make the world fade away quiet like the melody that was Simon's voice. It parted the clouds and brought light and color into his gray world. It soothed the hurt, washed away the anxiety, lightened his heart.

    Willes' voice had always sounded like music to Simon. It drew all of his focus, making his emotions light up, making the world around fade away. “I love you.” Willes' words felt like the most heartbreaking melody Simon had ever heard.

    This story is about Wille and Simon finding their way back to one another. Wille is figuring out what he wants, how to be confident in himself, and how to repair the trust he broke with Simon. Simon is dealing with the complexities of his life, and is beginning to fall in love with the Crown Prince. Music weaves them together, and holds them while they are apart. Lots of introspection, tons of angst, fluff and some smut, cause why not?

    This is canon compliant post Season 1, written before Season 2 was released. I also added some history/details to characters like Walter, Madison and Ludvig. I hope you love reading as much as I loved writing it 🫀

    -or-
    "What do you mean you’ve never had döner?"

    In which both Simon and Wilhelm learn that their lives and perspectives are even more different than they thought, but more importantly that they can deal with anything as long as they have each other.
