    Summary

    The mage gets pressured by the Old families into sending a few 7th-year students in a 2-week exchange to a Magickal High School in Chicago in order to learn new spells.

    Obviously, lifelong enemies Simon Snow and Baz Pitch get chosen to go along with other classmates. And they're seventeen and far from home, so they finally get the chance to properly get to know each other.

    Chaos and romantic shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    Eight weeks into their final year at Watford, Baz finally returns—and he's riddled with nightmares. Simon, for more reasons than he'd like to think about, has been sleeping poorly too.

    Frayed nerves and a fragile truce carve out a space for them in the dark of night. Their room atop the tower becomes a place where they can talk and ache and profess and yearn, slowly, slowly.

    Sharing a room (with a siren) (with an open fire) is sometimes more than either one can bear. Baz wants more, but can't have it; Simon has no idea what he wants.

    Summary

    Me: Is a sucker for first time fics.
    Also me: "There aren't enough first time fics in this fandom."
    Also me, apparently: "You could write one."
    Me again: "Yeah, I guess I could. You right, you right."

     
    BAZ
     
    “It’ll be fun!” he says. “It’ll be like Watford again, like we’re roommates, you know, except without all the contempt and trying to kill each other.”

    I realize I’ve been staring at his mouth this whole time. “Yes, well, without the Anathema there’ll be nothing to keep my hands off you.” Did...did I just say that?

    “Oh,” he says, mouth hanging open a bit (mouth breather). He closes it, pulls his bottom lip between his teeth. “Good, then.”

    SIMON

    I think of what Baz said, earlier. That he wants his hands all over me. (That feeling’s mutual too.) I’ve got a list of things I want to do to Baz, & I’ve crossed some of them off since we’ve been together. I’d like to cross off some more.

    The part of me that really wants this is starting to be a lot more demanding than the part that's scared shitless.

    Yes, there's sex. But there's also a lot of feelings, personal growth, & massive metaphorical trust falls.

    Summary

    Simon is worried about what Baz might get up to all summer long without Simon there to keep an eye on him.
    Penny says, “You wage psychological warfare on yourself so much, Baz doesn’t have to plot anything. You do all the work for him.”
    Which is ridiculous.
    All Simon wants is to plague Baz with thoughts of him, give Baz a taste of his own medicine.
    All Simon wants is to be on Baz's mind so much, he can’t focus. Can’t work on coming up with a spell to end Simon. Can’t plot a political coup.
    All Simon wants is for Baz to not get any fucking reprieve from Simon all summer.
    Is that too much to ask?
    But psychological warfare is a tricky thing...
    Merlin knows Simon's summers in the care home are awful as is. This year is made worse than usual thanks to the after-effects of a spell gone awry.
    The days are so hard, but the nights...?
    Well, the nights are something else entirely.
