    Summary

    Wilhelm doesn’t respond for several long, torturous seconds, his brows furrowed and lips agape in a cartoonish expression of confusion, before he finally speaks up again. “Wait, so— you want me to be your boyfriend?”

    No, I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

    Wilhelm rolls his eyes at the distinction, pausing to chew on the inside of his cheek, his face twisted up in thought, “For how long?”

    “Long enough for both Marcus and your parents to think it’s serious. A few months at least.”

    Wilhelm rests his temple against the bottoms of his palms, taking a deep breath before pulling himself back up and mumbling, “Okay,” then more confidently, “I’m in.”

    After transferring to Hillerska the summer before his third year, and leaving his toxic ex-boyfriend, Marcus, back at his old school, Simon becomes the only out gay kid among all the elitist assholes he's sworn to keep his distance from. That is, until he finds out the most popular boy in school, Wilhelm Lindberg, isn't as straight as he thought he was, and he thinks they might just be able to use that to the both of their advantages.

    Summary

    Prince Wilhelm can't seem to catch a break. When he is pulled into yet another scandal through no fault of his own, he is desperate enough to try one last thing to salvage his image: A publicly staged fake relationship.

    Simon Eriksson is a struggling young artist, trying to make a name for himself and tired of the obstacles he faces on his way into the music industry. He'll take any publicity at this point.

    A pact is made. Strictly business.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    He wasn’t sure how he and Simon had gotten from their fight in the locker room to that kiss last night, but he honestly couldn’t wait to talk to Simon and find out what was next. He hoped them kissing each other meant that they could have a fresh start — that they would figure things out together.
    _________

    Or, a re-telling of Simon and Wille’s reconnection post Wille’s denial and Simon’s rebound attempt with Marcus.

    The story starts with the events of the Valentine Ball. There will be POV switches between Wille and Simon, and there will be a lot of exploration of each of their internal worlds and feelings. Eventually this will diverge from canon in consideration of where Wille’s speech at the Jubilee Celebration leaves them, but mostly I hope to fill in the processing and emotion that drove both characters in S2. There will be some angst, but it will be there to help propel each of their healing journeys — as individuals, and as a couple. And there will also be fluff and light smut to balance out the heavier aspects of this story. *The tags and rating may be adjusted as we go along.
