    Summary

    Wil never imagined that sometimes love would not be enough to stay with his loved ones, but it wasn't when his heart ached for freedom, so it could be hard to not be himself outside the sea once he reached that freedom — and even harder to explain a fraction of what is freedom for someone who rather be a slave of their fears than be themselves.
    Or
    When Bran's best friend turns into his lover, then into the pirate he has got to arrest for the crown, he may be conflicted between what he ought to do and what his heart has been begging him for ages.

    Summary

    After two years apart, Wilson and Brando are forced to confront their past when Brando returns to town to book an acting job. Once inseparable, the exes haven’t seen each other since their breakup, and both have tried to move on—yet neither can fully escape the tangled emotions that still linger between them.

    Wilson, determined not to let his heart be shattered again, cautiously reaches out to Brando, hoping to keep things casual. But Brando’s return stirs up old feelings, and the chemistry between them reignites, leading to a complicated love affair that threatens to undo the fragile lives they’ve built since their separation. As Wilson fights to protect his heart and Brando struggles to keep his career and personal life intact, they must navigate the dangerous waters of love, regret, and unfinished business.

    Will they find a way to heal the wounds of their past, or will they crash into each other again, only to fall apart once more?

    Summary

    Wilson Hale, the soft-spoken new science teacher, and Brando Reyes, the intense but steady gym coach, have been inseparable since childhood. At twenty-eight, they land jobs at the same high school—Wilson with his quiet love for experiments and students, Brando with his commanding presence in the gym.

    To their coworkers and students, they’re just colleagues who “happen” to arrive together, sit side by side in the lounge, and leave in the same car every afternoon. Rumors swirl in the hallways, whispered over lunches and hidden behind textbooks: Are Mr. Hale and Coach Reyes secretly dating?

    Summary

    After his first year at UCLA, Wilson is going back to Georgetown Texas, his hometown. He is working at a boatshop for the summer, and his coworker there is no other than his childhood friend, Brando, with whom WIlson always had a strong and unique bond. When they were kids people said that they were "two ends of the same stick". While the both of them grew apart in the last few years, the circumstances of this summer lead them to being briefly in one another's life again, as old wounds reopen and a new kind of connection forms between the 2 boys...

    I want this fic to be as canon compliant ( the canon being the mv for this song, vodka cranberry and caramel music videos and some things cone mentions in his songs) as possible, so i'm trying to respect the timeline of the summer that conan has set !

    Before I start, I want to state that, while the character of Wilson is strongly inspired by what -as a conehead- i know of conan gray's life, this is by no means a conan gray fanfiction. It is a fic about the characters of brando and wilson, which conan introduced in the music video for this song. Just wanted to clarify that :)

    This will be kind of a long fic, I plan to update it like twice a week :)

    Summary

    At almost 24, Simon feels ready to leave student housing and move into a real apartment. He finds the place of his dreams - but it comes with a roommate. A roommate who turns out to be none other than former Crown Prince Wilhelm.

    Summary

    There’s a grainy photo taken from what seems to be a civilian's phone. A lean figure in white crouching at the edge of a building. He recognizes the hood and the wide eye lenses, eerily reminiscent of his own, as well as the white and black design, and the blue he can see across the forearms and inside the hood.

    “This guy again huh.” Simon crosses his arms over his chest and frowns, deep in thought.

    He hasn’t seen him, but he’s heard talk. Whispers among underground criminals and vigilante groups like himself. The Ghost-Spider’s movements have been getting bolder lately, higher stakes, as though he’s building up to the big leagues.

    The question is, can he be trusted?
    _______________
    Simon, over-caffeinated biophysics major by day and masked vigilante known as Spider-Man by night, is investigating the circumstances surrounding a large explosion which killed civilians as well as the heir to multinational corporation Crown Industries, owned by the Cronstedt crime family.

    By providence he ends in sharing a class with Crown’s new heir, Wilhelm Cronstedt, devising a plan to get close to him for information.

    However, to his surprise Wilhelm isn’t quite the hardened criminal he’s expecting.

    Summary

    “Simon Eriksson. It’s certainly been a while.”

    His eyes widen, his mouth going a little dry as he realizes with a sudden sense of surprise that Wilhelm Cronstedt is standing in front of him, looking him over with his intense amber gaze. He has an edgier, artsy sort of haircut now, long in the back, shorter in the front, and purposefully messy, as though he's just rolled out of bed. Simon is painfully aware that he is most definitely pulling it off. His eyes also go to the stud piercing he has in his right ear.

    Wilhelm smiles at him, tilting his head, “You do remember my name don’t you? The last time we met—-“

    “Yeah, I do. Of course, I do. Sorry…um what exactly are you doing here?”

    He laughs, softly but the amusement is evident. “You know that I work here right?” He turns to point to the cluttered-looking desk Simon had passed earlier. “Just over there. I’m the Creative Design Lead.”

    Oh.
    -----

    Simon Eriksson, slightly bitter ex-musician, starts a new job at a digital marketing agency where he runs into his old classmate from Hillerska, Wilhelm Cronstedt, who seems much different than he remembers.

    Summary

    “Wille on the table! Wille on the table!” As they banged their fists on the table, Wille looked at Simon. They had been talking about going public soon and they had agreed, along with PR, that the first step could be to tell people at Hillerska. Simon seemed to understand what Wille was thinking. He gave Wille a little smile, silently giving him the green light to say something if he wanted to.

    Wille got up on his chair.

    The boys went wild.

    Summary

    He gritted his teeth when he saw Wilhelm, digging his nails in his palms; he knows that one mean comment and he's gonna explode.
    this didn't work for long though, cause the instant Wilhelm saw him, he scoffed.

    "Do you have to be late every single day?"
    "Do you have to be snobby every single day?"
    "Oh, so I'm snobby for actually caring about the fucking rehearsals, huh? Can't you take this seriously just for once?"
    and that was his last straw.

    Summary

    Once at a high school party Blaine Anderson kissed a girl...and he liked it. A short time later he kissed a boy, and he liked that too. He fell in love with that boy and they were happy together for almost two years. But when that boy left for college they decided that it would be best to break up. But being comfortable with his bisexuality may be the simplest part of Blaine's senior year, as he wades back into the world of dating, navigates new kinds of friendships, and tries to figure out what it means to become an adult.

    An alternate version of Blaine Anderson's senior year, incorporating many events from seasons 4 and 5a but making them...Blanier.

    Written for the Blaine Anderson Big Bang. MANY thanks to my betas klaineitupanotch and flowerfan, and a huge round of applause to 47mel47 for making this amazing video as a trailer for this fic
