Summary
Turns out I'm better at giving my evil roommate a blowie than I am at holding the interest of the most perfect girl in school. Which, honestly, is a bit vindicating. Come at me, prophesies: you can't pull this disaster back from the brink.
Simon Snow has lived through seven years of trials and tribulations.
His eighth year is going to be a little bit different.

This is such a good, smart fic. Highly recommend reading the scholomance books (which are good!) and then marvelling at how much new world building there is here. Excellent and not at all painful snowbaz slow burn too!

Fallen From the Sky with Grace by Wild-Eyed Apricot (Grateful_for_You)
Fandoms: Carry On Series - Rainbow Rowell, Simon Snow & Related Fandoms
28 Nov 2022

Summary
Simon's always had a price on his head. The goblins thought that he'd be easy pickings when they'd heard the rumors that he'd lost his sword, but he showed otherwise. Yet, what if Simon were truly incapacitated? Who might step into that power vacuum?
Content warning for violence and medical situations.
This is a story about grief and healing. About family and relationships. About how crisis situations will bring out the best and the worst in people.
I'm so lucky to have three pieces of art from three very, very talented fandom artists illustrating this fic.People tell me that it's not like most fan-fic, so I'll add that to this summary, as a warning or an invitation. Partake in this if you're in the mood for something different.

this is excellent. deeply plotty but very about character too - and not just simon and baz. the way that it is built up around simon's cancer is both really evocative of him losing his magic/growing wings (which has also happened in this universe) and something completely new for this fandom. worth spending 100k with.

As Mordelia reluctantly prepares to begin at Watford next fall, she and Simon, Baz, Penny, and Shepard spend Halloween night in a Nebraska pumpkin patch, awaiting the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.

this fic is outrageously brilliant and funny. it's a fantastic get together that takes the cracky premise super seriously while never forgetting that it means that simon and baz are intrinsically comic, but not about each other (but also we can laugh in bed).

This Will All Go Down In Flames by facewithoutheart

Summary
Everyone knows the story of the meteoric rise (and apocalyptic fall) of The Watford Goats. They only released one album, toured for one year, and yet every Album of the Year winner in the decade since the release of their debut has listed the band as one of their top influences.
Former lead singer and keyboardist Baz Grimm-Pitch has gone on to rock star fame, filling arenas around the world with screaming fans despite his reclusive and prickly reputation. Meanwhile, former guitarist and vocalist Simon Snow has released a series of critically acclaimed concept albums, cementing himself as a singer/songwriter in Austin, Texas.
The pressure is on for the two former best friends and bandmates to reunite for the ten year anniversary of their debut album, but, as the title of their hit song suggests, This Will All Go Down In Flames.

I watch as he pushes his dark hair — my hair — behind his ears, eyes focused on the mirror. He lets his hands ghost down the line of my jaw and throat to my collarbone, pausing when he reaches the first button on my pyjamas. I huff, and his eyes shoot over to me.
“You don’t have to make it so sensual,” I mutter. He’s still looking at me, eyes earnest.
“I want to know how it feels for you.”

Summary
“If you don’t meet your spouse at Watford, Penny says, you could end up alone—or going on singles tours of Magickal Britain when you’re 32.” -Rainbow Rowell, Carry On
Prepare yourself for the most magickal week of your life. Booking is now open for the Coven’s yearly 5 day, 5 night tour of Magickal Britain. You’ll soak up the rich history and intriguing secrets of the World of Mages in an intimate group of only 15-20 single Mages. Immerse yourself with the Coven’s full-time historian and guide who will make these fascinating historical sites come alive. Included in the cost of your tour will be group transportation throughout the week, 5 nights accommodation, and most meals. Fall in love with the World of Mages all over again. Join us for the experience of a lifetime. We know it’s one you’ll never forget.
Simon Snow (29, single, and working for the Coven) finds himself press-ganged into covering for the usual guide on the Coven's yearly tour of magickal Britain. All he has to do is read from the cards and make sure the same number of mages gets back on the coach as got off. Doable. Until he sees the guest list. And then it's time to sow some chaos.
