Summary
The 1960 baseball season is unraveling Wilhelm Larsson’s life. He can’t hit, his new teammates hate him, he’s homesick, and he’s living out of a suitcase. When the team forces him into a season-long interview stunt with a snobby reporter, he has no choice but to agree.
Simon Eriksson is not a sports reporter. He’s a grieving arts writer barely holding on, hiding behind his routine and a too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he was never able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York’s obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.
Drawn together, they recognize something achingly familiar in each other’s collapse. But Simon has promised himself he will never be someone’s secret again, and Wilhelm cannot afford to be out in the career he’s in. In the end, they’ll have to decide whether love is worth the risk of losing everything.

Summary
Ilya’s laugh is loud and delighted and absolutely infuriating. He leans back on his hands, eyes lighting up like Shane just told him the funniest joke ever. “Oh my god,” he says, murmuring something in Russian that’s too quick for Shane’s mind to translate. “You want to have a not-sex competition.”
Shane shrugs. “You said I couldn’t resist you so…”
“Hollander,” Ilya says fondly, shaking his head, “You have finally lost it.”
“Or,” Shane counters, stepping closer, “You’re just not used to losing.”
Ilya’s grin widens. He looks Shane up and down, slow and obvious. Shane’s body has never been subtle where Ilya is concerned and he can’t help the heat that floods his cheeks with Ilya’s eyes on him so intensely.
“Fine,” Ilya says easily. “We’ll see how long you last.”
Shane doesn’t hesitate. “Longer than you will.”

Summary
Simon is a music education student at Uppsala University (with a secret dream of becoming a singer) and lives with his boyfriend Marcus who attends the same university. 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.
Wille is the newly ex-Prince of Sweden and his abdication has been trending all over the news for the past few months. He’d been doing his military service for the last nine months and has decided to enroll at Uppsala University to study social work. The chaos of his abdication and enrolling in university leave him needing to find a new apartment, and fast.
TLDR: A roommates to lovers story involving love, heartbreak, abuse, healing, and learning how to love again.

Summary
Having just graduated from university with a law degree he never wanted, Wille chooses to follow his own path against his family’s wishes and opens up a quiet, cozy bookstore in the city. The store is doing well, tourists wander in during the weekends, and locals have started calling him by name. There’s even a little book club that meets in the back on Thursdays. On paper, he should feel proud. He is proud. He’s finally doing what he loves and he’s genuinely happy.
But some nights, especially the rainy ones like this one, he feels the hollowness anyway. The missing thing. The question with no answer. He doesn’t know what it is exactly that’s missing, just that something is. He can feel it.
Then, as if straight out of the many romance novels that stock his shelves, a beautiful boy with dark eyes and dark curls, and soaking wet from the storm, bursts into his quiet shop looking for a vinyl, and everything changes.

Summary
Simon is a camp counselor at Camp Evergreen, a camp full of entitled children from well off families and even more rich and entitled counselors whose families have attended the camp for generations.
Not only did he have to deal with his coworkers snide remarks and hurtful comments all of last summer, but this summer the co-counselor for their bunk is Wilhelm, the younger brother of Erik who everyone acts like is camp royalty.
He’s dreading Wilhelm being as bad, if not worse than his brother, but then Wilhelm turns out to be different than he’d anticipated, stirring up unexpected feelings in them both.
TLDR: An enemies (sort of) to lovers AU where Wille and Simon are camp counselors.

Summary
It was an otherwise ordinary day when it finally happened.
Not to put too much pressure on “it” having to happen at all, of course. Kiem never wanted to do that, because respecting Jainan’s privacy about his past was important, even if Kiem sometimes wondered what’s going through his partner’s head. Kiem blurted out every little thought as soon as it rose to the top, but Jainan was still painstakingly considered with his words, so much that Kiem thought he might have been like that even before Taam—
In any case.
“Kiem?” Jainan’s voice pulled half of Kiem’s attention away from the counters he was cleaning.
“Hmmmm?”
“I think I’d like to talk to you about Taam.”

Summary
'When Jainan hit the mattress, he knew as a certainty that he would also be asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. This was an utter waste of having Kiem in the same bed. Even so, Jainan’s last, startled thought was that there would be time. They had all the time they could want.'
Or: a little of what happened in those three days after they were rescued from the mountains.

Summary
“He couldn’t believe his mind had been so desperate to escape that it had conjured up the idea of Kiem as a last hope. Kiem wouldn’t be coming for him. He’d ruined their relationship. He’d been foolish to think that anyone like Kiem could ever feel anything for him other than pity or contempt. Why would he be here for Jainan?”

Summary
Wilhelm accidentally throws a snowball at a stranger's head, causing him to slip, fall and hit his head. After joining him at the hospital, Wilhelm finds out that the stranger's name is Simon Eriksson, that he has recently moved to Stockholm and that he has no friends or family who can take care of him, so, of course, Wilhelm offers to do it instead. Nothing wrong with inviting a stranger into your house after more or less giving the stranger a concussion, right?
