    Summary

    His lips clamp down, searching around again, this time more urgently. His eyes catch his wrist band, struggling to read it at first. He catches the date of birth, and it’s correct, but the day of admission is absolutely, insanely off.

    ADM: 04/05/2029

    He blinks, then blinks harder, feeling his chest pound and world spin. What…

    He hears a monitor beep, and the other man’s eyes fly open. Simon stalls, mouth falling open but body feeling like jelly, and even more so as the other man speaks.

    --

    After an accident, Simon ends up in the hospital with neurological injuries. When he wakes up, the world isn't exactly how he left it before...

    Summary

    Of all the things I expect my father to tell me when we convene in his study, it very much isn’t, “The Old Families want you to befriend the Chosen One.”

     

    A COMPLETED fic of Simon and Baz’s eight years together at Watford with one fundamental change to their relationship: what if eleven-year-old Baz had been instructed to be Simon’s friend instead of his enemy? (Answer: much the same initial antagonistic relationship that becomes a slow-burning and character-defining romance.)

    Includes lots of magickal worldbuilding that fill in the gaps of their missing years at Watford, their coming-of-age stories, and their eventual love story.

    Covers Simon Snow and the Mage’s Heir (year 1) through Carry On (year 8).

Until, a new case comes up involving his older brother.

    Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.
