    ***

He’s been convincing himself that he’s happy until one day the truth becomes too big to hide from himself, and he finds himself fleeing his abusive relationship. Unfortunately, this leaves him needing to find a new apartment, and fast.

    Summary

    When Wilhelm loses his brother weeks before the end of his second year of uni and is left alone with his grief, a pre-booked summer trip around Europe, and no one to take in Erik's place, he finds himself inviting Simon, his former high school best friend (and long-time crush). The only problem? Wilhelm and Simon haven't spoken for two years, and the last time they did, Simon kissed Wilhelm, and everything between them got horribly and irrevocably awkward. But with eight weeks to spend travelling Europe in each other's company, all they've got to do now is avoid anything like that happening again. Simple. Easy.

    But, if it did... what happens on the continent stays on the continent, right?

    Summary

    Cool pen pal wanted
    Hey. I'm an 11 year old Norwegian guy living in Sweden. It would be cool to have a friend in Norway too. To be my pen pal you should be 11-13 and have mad gaming skills like me. My interests are Need for Speed III, The Offspring and really scary movies, the bloodier the better. Don't write too long letters because I don't have the time to read them.
    Answer to: PrettyFly

    The year is 1999 and Isak advertises for a pen pal. Instead of a tough guy with "mad gaming skills" he finds a kind-hearted movie buff with strong opinions on the millennium bug.

    Summary

    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

    Love, apparently, comes at the most unexpected moments and in the most random places. Wille agrees with that. He did not expect to meet the love of his life online, but the moment his eyes landed on Simon through the screen, it was like he knew that it was going to be something special, something extraordinary...

    What he did not know then, was the distance between them, the differences, the troubles they were going to face in order to be together in the way they wanted to.

    But another thing that he does know, is that Simon is worth it and that they are in this together, both of them willing to put themselves through all of the obstacles if it means they get their happy ending.

    The question is: will they get it?

    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

    Maybe Wilhelm was prejudiced from the start. What was certain was that he felt lost and riding high on anxiety wasn't exactly useful in his situation. He never wanted to end up in this place - Hillerska was his brother’s old school, never his. He belonged in Stockholm, to its gritty streets and drunken nights. What a good thing his mother gave him no saying; the Queen always had the last word. After a calamitous summer and accidents that had happened, her call was to send him away to a boarding school.
    Wilhelm couldn’t fit in. His brother’s friends weren’t his. Every step he took, they compared him to Erik. His roommate exasperated him and, most importantly, he hated the guts of the guy who lived next door.

    Or: In which Wilhelm and Simon are sworn enemies and Wilhelm has to learn how to live again.

    Summary

    "You look a lot like Prince Wilhelm."

    "Would you still kiss me if I was?"

    Simon figured that's all it was gonna be - an insane, unbelievable story of how he kissed the Prince of Sweden one night in a foggy Stockholm club; the next morning, pictures of them making out under neon lights were plastered everywhere.

    Summary

    Isak Valtersen is the world’s best male tennis player. Even Bech Næsheim is not. But he’s ranked #32 in the world, which is impressive enough, and he’s Norway’s favorite. Isak understands why: Even has a friendly face, an iconic headband, and the ability to make every journalist laugh in press, even after a brutal loss. He’s a hometown hero who pours his heart out in every match, and embraces the nickname fans have given him: Bechy with the Good Hair. He doesn’t advance very far in tournaments, if he qualifies, but whenever he does they are always matches to watch. Isak is the world’s best tennis player, but the world is watching Even.

    After a chance training arrangement at the US Open, Isak is watching Even too. He doesn’t want to get distracted on his way to a world-record win, but it seems like his heart isn’t giving him a choice.

    Summary

    It only took Simon a few seconds to see him, someone new, standing by the table piled high with drinks, and looking straight at Simon. Not in the way people usually looked, like they were a little star-struck, faces filled with eagerness or, too often, calculating jealousy. This boy was looking at Simon in a way that was almost predatory, barely blinking. It would have been a little off-putting, except the new guy was hot—tall with brown hair that was somehow both short and also looked primed to flop into his face, dressed casually in a polo and jeans, with that intense look in his eyes. Simon felt interest stir low in his stomach.

    -- --
    AU where Simon is a prince and Wille is the new kid at a Hillerska party who can't stop staring. They immediately fall into bed together, and Simon falls hard. The only complication is who he is and who Wille is.

    ‘The only spare bed I currently have in Forest Ridge is in the Crown Prince’s room, so it would cause the least disruption if you were to move in there.’

    When everyone returns to school after Christmas, life is disrupted by a global pandemic. Particularly for Simon, who is forced to become a boarder and share a room with the one person he's trying to avoid.

    Canon compliant (season 1 only), except everything happens one year earlier than in the show so that I could shoehorn covid in.
