Summary
When Wille got dragged out of class during their second semester at Hillerska Simon thought it would be the last he ever saw of him.
Now, years later, Simon expected the summer before his last year of university to be filled with work, the occasional beach trip and too much ice cream. He couldn’t have predicted running into Wille again and having his life turned upside down.

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
Leaving military service and taking up Crown Prince duties full-time has left Wilhelm stressed, frustrated, and extremely miserable - and that's without even mentioning the massive sexuality crisis lurking under the surface. He turns to camshows to help take the edge off, and maybe explore some of those repressed feelings a little bit further.
It was never meant to lead to an all-consuming obsession, falling in love, and a whole load of shit hitting the fan.

Summary
“But you’re straight,” his voice rises without his permission. Dimly, he realizes he’s making a scene. “You - are you - you’re the straightest person I know.”
Now, Simon’s eyes are dancing with mirth. “I mean,” he shrugs, “that’s not what his bio said.”
“No fucking way,” Wilhelm shakes his head. It would be just his luck to find the love of his fucking life only for said love of his life to be here with Erik of all people. “Erik’s not - he’s literally never - ”
____Or: Erik meets Simon on a dating app. Wilhelm loses his goddamn mind.

Summary
It's clear from the start that Crown Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson, member of world-famous boyband sensation HIGH 5, don't have a future. Against all odds and under scrutiny from media, management and the royal court, they still try - and fail to preserve their fragile relationship.
It's over.
Until Simon decides to release three songs, ten years later. Three songs about Wilhelm. Times have surely changed, but so have they. Both of them struggle with the strong emotions that reappear. Are they just memories? Or are things not quite as over as they thought?

Summary
The Queen is dying; parliament is about to name August Horn of Årnäs her successor; and Simon Eriksson is rushing across the ocean armed with nothing but a ten-year-old piece of paper searching for the boy he fell in love with when he was sixteen, or rather the man who is Sweden's rightful next King.
Simon Eriksson is a fool.

Summary
King Wilhelm of Sweden has a wife, three kids, a stressful job and an increasingly forgetful mother. But a chance encounter with a face from his past leads him to reassess everything he thought he held important.
‘The next recipient is Mr. Simon Eriksson.’
Wilhelm drew a sharp breath. How funny that the medallist should be called that, should have the same name as… He looked up as the man walked towards him. All the blood left his head as he realised that of course he had the same name because he was the same person. Twenty-two years older, obviously, but there was no mistaking that hair, those eyes.

Summary
Simon doesn't know who he hates more, the Crown Prince or Omar, Sweden's newest pop sensation.
Okay, that's a lie.
He knows exactly who he hates more, out of principle if anything, but he can ignore the fact that he lives in a monarchy for weeks at a time, while nowadays hardly a day goes by without someone telling him that he looks just like Omar, omg!
Today however it's definitely a tie. Neither of them knows he exists, and yet both seem equally set on ruining his day.

Summary
"You, um, fly with this airline often?" the man next to him asks, as if Simon of all people looks like a frequent flyer able to afford first class instead of someone who's lucky if he can snatch a budget flight to somewhere in the Mediterranean once a year.
"All the time," Simon snarks. "How could I not? Airplanes are such perfect microcosms of the class inequality pervasive in our society. It's simply a joy to repeatedly be reminded that people like me are nothing but slaves to capitalism, only good for being exploited while the high and mighty are wined and dined in the lap of luxury."

Summary
He looked around at the emptiness of the tree house. His wonder about what he would find inside was now replaced by curiosity about what, exactly, his neighbors and their friends did here. His question was partially answered when he caught sight of the black and white keyboard piano leaning against the back corner.
He reached out to touch it.
“Holy crap—”
Wille whirled around, eyes widening.
It was the curly haired boy, standing in the tree house.
He stumbled, his foot slipping on the open edge behind him. Wille shot out his hand and caught the other boy’s flailing wrist, tugging him forward, hard, before he could fall.
They stood, suspended there, hearts pounding, brown eyes meeting brown eyes for the first time.
**
“And then you said, ‘uh, I’m Wille,'” Simon says. “Like I didn’t almost fall to my death!”
“I was just trying to be polite!” Wille says. Simon throws his head back and laughs, and Wille laughs, too.

Or, a childhood-friends-to-lovers tree house au, based on a prompt by grapehyasynth on tumblr.

Summary
“What if you pretended to date someone else to show Victor you’ve moved on?”
Simon considers this for a moment, then shakes his head. “Who would agree to that? I’m not exactly known for my social standing here. The only people I hang out with are you and Sara and her friends, who are all girls.”
“So I’ll do it then,” Wille offers, like that should’ve been obvious. Simon’s his best friend, and he’s upset. This seems like a no-brainer to him.

Summary
On his first day back to school after the Christmas break, Simon is informed that he's been suspended for two weeks because of his involvement in the video making the rounds on the internet.

PG-15, Wille/Simon, romance/drama, directly post-S1.

Summary
All of a sudden Wille didn’t hate everything. Or, he still hated most things. But he didn’t hate whoever this person was, singing with all his might on a sunny stage in front of hundreds of boring, judgemental spectators.
***
OR
***
Wille never attends Hillerska but is still dragged to the jubilee celebrations, where he sees an angelic choir boy for the first time and maybe falls a little bit in love. He drums up the courage to talk to him, and then does everything in his power to see him again. And Erik is around to tease him a little bit too.
