    Summary

    Simon forces himself to keep breathing. It’s only suspicious if he makes it so, he tells himself firmly. “What’s wrong?” he teases, doing his best to keep his tone light. “I’m sure you’ve met plenty of my kind.”

    “Nothing,” Wilhelm jumps to defend himself. He picks idly at the skin of his fingers and Simon can’t help but notice the ragged flesh around his nails, almost as if this is a common habit for him. “I’ve just never had the best relationship with reporters - or the press.”

    ------
    Or: Simon, a journalist at a left-wing magazine, eagerly accepts the chance of a lifetime to write a scathingly honest piece about the newly crowned King Wilhelm, who has a history shrouded in parties, drugs, and gay allegations. His plans, however, go to shit when he realizes that Wilhelm is nothing like he expected.

    Summary

    Wilhelm isn’t sure exactly when he fell in love with his best friend. All he knows is that it’s taken root deep inside him, that he loves Simon always and unwaveringly, even when he hates everything else. But the timing is cruel. He’s found what he wants, only for it to slip away before he gets the chance to hold on.

    Because Simon–his sunny, doe-eyed, halo-haired Simon, whose face could stop time, whose fierce determination is matched only by the tenderness of his touch–is leaving.

    or: the best friends-turned-friends-with-benefits-turned-long-distance-boyfriends fic no one asked for.

    Summary

    There’s only one problem: Simon has no idea what W. looks like.

     

    When Simon, an editorial assistant at one of Sweden’s most prominent commercial publishing houses, stumbles upon a manuscript sent in by a mysterious W. Viklund, he doesn’t expect it to be any good. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall in love with it, or that the author is kind, and funny, and witty and keeps distracting him from his work.
    Simon looks forward to every new message sent by W., every cat video that he’s found somewhere online. It isn’t long until butterflies fly rampant in his stomach and he can’t stop thinking about W. It’s so easy to talk to him, as if they’ve known each other for years. Only thing is, they haven’t… right?
    Or: a story about teenage romance, second chances and falling harder than you’d ever thought possible.

    Summary

    “I could do it,” Wille shrugs.

    “What?”

    “We could get married.” Looking up, he sees something cross Simon’s face. “I mean, fake married. I’d do it. If it’d make her happy. If it’d make you happy.”

    When Simon remains silent, he adds, “It could be kind of fun.”

     

    Or, where Simon's grandma demands requests he get married before she dies, and Wille offers to help.

    Summary

    It's dark now and the streetlights they pass under every minute or so are dancing pale light over Wille’s hands which are wrapped around the steering wheel.

    Simon can't help but to stare at the wiry veins that travel up his wrist and forearm, at the way his skin practically glows when the light hits it. His amber eyes are dark and serious, and Simon can feel the heat simmering between them, like it’s just waiting to spring back up and melt them to the bone.

    or

    Simon has an encounter with a beautiful man who remains anononymous until Ayub inexplicably invites him to join them all for a week at his aunts remote cottage.

    Summary

    As if being cheated on and getting left for someone else wasn't bad enough, the new couple being celebrated by the public and hyped on social media, because they just so happen to be two of the brightest rising stars of Sweden's film industry, does leave behind two particularly bitter exes.

    When Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson run into each other at a party, they are still very much heartbroken and determined to get their partners back. Or at least get thoroughly back at them. On a desperate whim they decide that pretending to be a couple is a genius way to do just that. Due to unforeseen circumstances (and Wille's temper), things get slightly out of hand. If they don't want to lose face and keep a shred of dignity, Wille and Simon might just have to out-act their exes.

    Summary

    When, during his internship at a local news station, Prince Wilhelm gets distracted by the most beautiful man he’s ever seen and ends up causing a viral meme, nobody’s less amused than the beautiful man in question.
    In fact, all that Simon wants is revenge. If that means he has to find the person responsible first, so be it.

    Or, the one where Wille is an even bigger simp than usual and Simon can’t quite stay mad at him.

    Summary

    Getting into a new relationship can be tricky, whether you’re still broken up about your ex or haven’t really dated in a while. Thank goodness that both Simon and Wille happen to have friends who’d only be too happy to set them up with each other. It’s just a shame that through a series of unfortunate events, they keep missing one another.

    aka six times they miss each other plus one time they don’t.

    Summary

    When aspiring songwriter Simon Eriksson catches his boyfriend cheating on him, just writing angry break-up songs won’t cut it. He isn’t even necessarily heart-broken as much as he’s seething. What he wants is revenge, a humiliation for a humiliation, a public shaming for a public shaming, or whatever the bible proclaims. And what better way to get back at his ex than to date the guy he’d been eying?

    With his carefully crafted scheme, nothing can go wrong as Simon tries his best to get Wilhelm, the boy his ex had wanted, to fall in love with him. Right?

    This is a story about how Simon seeks revenge… and Wille becomes collateral damage along the way.

    Summary

    Ever since Simon had pulled Wille out of the water during the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics and subsequently revealed that his biggest rival was also his husband, the swimming world had been holding its breath for the next time the Venezuelan and Swedish swimmers would take their marks in the same race.

    All Wille could think of, though, was how he felt like he could barely breathe at all.

    Would it still be true that gold and silver belonged to Wille and Simon, or was the podium due for a change? Was everyone else still fighting for bronze?

    ____

    It's just water.

    He'd repeated it to himself so many times he knew he should have believed it by now, but as his fingers drifted aimlessly, sending ripples across the surface of the pool, Wille struggled to breathe. It's just water. Just stupid water. He'd practically lived in it, fallen in love in it... but then he'd almost died in it, and now, staring at the navy tile of the lane line, he couldn't bring himself to lower his body into the pool.

    Summary

    “What the hell are you doing here?” Simon asked, a bit unkindly. He didn't mean to be rude, but what the actual fuck was the Crown Prince of Sweden doing in his sleeping compartment?

    Wilhelm winced at his words.

    “I’m going on vacation,” he said, sounding somehow both casual and awkward.

    “You’re going on vacation?” Simon asked, his eyebrows raised as he sat down on the right bench, close to the door. He took off his backpack and placed it next to him. His duffle bag was in his lap. “Don’t you need security or something?”

    (or: When Simon runs after he finds a ring and shares the sleeping compartment of his getaway-nighttrain with Wille, the two quickly find out they have more in common than their destination)

    Summary

    Wilhelm Löwen walks in, and Simon’s heart stops.
    Simon may have had a crush on Wilhelm when the show first started airing, is the thing. As in, he followed @WilhelmLowenBase for several years after the actor left the Disney sitcom he starred in to do Dark Knights instead, and may or may not have had a poster on his wall. Or three.
    Knowing that his silent prayer to not make his cheekbones flushed is going unanswered, Simon nods at each of them in turn. “Hi, everyone,” he says, and he thinks his voice sounds even enough. “I’m Simon. It’s great to meet you all.”

    Or: two years after Wilhelm disappoints his acting family by quitting his starring role on the critically acclaimed teen soap 'Dark Knights', his replacement has more than a few unkind things to say about him in the press. When he returns to the show for the final season, the showrunners decide there's only one way to avoid the media storm of their feud... to pretend it doesn't exist, because Wilhelm and Simon are actually friends. Best friends.

    Summary

    Wilhelm wants to die. He needs to say words to fill up the air because, all of sudden, he is now feeling the good kind of overwhelmed and nauseous.

    "Even when you're not singing or performing, you fill up the space." It doesn't even make sense when he says it but Simon smiles wide, his eyes crinkling like they do and Wilhelm feels rewarded. The night light shines perfectly on Simon's skin, his alcohol addled brain duly notes. "I think I've been in awe from the first time I saw you perform in that show you opened for. And today I had my breath taken away again, you know. Your voice dulled the irritating noise around me." God, Wilhelm needs to stop talking.

    __

    Spare Prince Wilhelm had memorized the way to exist, the steps to understand himself and breeze through life, duties, obligations without feeling the dread pooling in his gut.
    And it was enough, at least he thought it was...until he meets a certain singer, Simon Eriksson who practically turns his world in the opposite direction and maybe teaches him how to feel and love along the way

    Summary

    Despite the immediate panic Simon can’t help but feel a little ridiculous at his own reaction. He curses himself, because didn't he promise himself a long time ago that no boy would ever get to make him feel like this?

    It has just never occurred to him that his clingy, attention wanting, touch starved, love thirsty boyfriend needs space and time for himself sometimes. Especially after a night like yesterday.

    Or: Wilhelm doesn't respond to any of Simon's attempt for contact the morning after they've had an argument and Simon thinks he might have screwed up their relationship when a phone call makes him aware of the fact that no one seems to know where Wilhelm is.
