Summary
Simon Eriksson does not have a crush on Wilhelm. Because Wilhelm is a goddamn Prince of Sweden and also, in all likelihood, straight. Right? So of course he doesn't. Except he's totally lying to himself. And maybe there's hope after all. Because as they get closer and Wille opens up more and more, Simon begins to think that there may be a teeny tiny chance that Wille is queer. If you squint.
It's a good thing they both know how to use their words.
---------
Off-canon either after the football match or from the very beginning, depending on your interpretation. No trauma happening on-screen. Just teenagers being riduculous(ly in love). Wilhelm blushes a lot.

Summary
And finally, he says what Simon has known and kept secret for over a decade now - I’m queer.
- and incredibly proud to be so. I hope that by sharing my truth, it will encourage -
Simon turns off his phone, the resounding click in his ears deafening as he stares at his own reflection in the blackened screen. He looks pale and gray, like he hasn’t been sleeping or eating enough.

Summary
At almost 24, Simon feels ready to leave student housing and move into a real apartment. He finds the place of his dreams - but it comes with a roommate. A roommate who turns out to be none other than former Crown Prince Wilhelm.
After more than three years abroad, Wille hopes that the dust has settled over his abdication and he can finally start living a normal life which, to him, includes sharing an apartment.
Considering their differences, Simon and Wille seem bound to bump heads. Both of them are surprised when instead they quickly become friends. Just friends. Despite what other people soon start insinuating. Because roommates and romance don't mix, right?- Language:

Summary
“I’m, uh, I’m Wilhelm.” He stutters, unwilling to let the conversation die out so soon.
The guy quirks an eyebrow at him, and it’s so devastatingly handsome that Wilhelm feels like he’s been knocked off of his feet. “I know.”
“Right, of course.” Wilhelm looks at his feet, cheeks colouring.
Or: Simon and Wilhelm meet in an antique store.

“I’m a big fan of your music.”
“I know.”
Wille nearly choked on his own spit. “What? How could you know?”
------
Countries don't expect their princes to actually have interests.
And Sweden definitely didn’t expect their youngest prince to be die hard fanboy for a certain Venezuelan-Swedish pop star.

Summary
“You know - my biggest fucking fear came true on a huge scale. The entire planet found out I’m gay, Ilya can never go back to his home country again, my life blew up, and none of you asked if I was okay. I can’t believe I almost gave him up just so I would never have to face this exact reaction from people who yesterday I would’ve considered family. I can’t believe what I almost let you all cost me.” And then, quieter, “I can’t believe how little it took for you to throw me away.”
Hauling his bag over his shoulder, Shane stared around the room, one more glance at the men he’d given the best years of his career to.
“Best of luck next year without me.”
OR
Hurt by the team's accusations that he let the Centaurs win, Shane gets his pain off his chest before leaving the Voyageurs' locker room for good.

Summary
She despises him, but she's worried about suffocating him anyway, and Grantaire could live off that for months. He's not sure what resemblance it has to love, the love the poets sing of; what he feels for Enjolras is something that makes him dream about grovelling at her feet and kissing the sole of the shoe that kicks him.
He doesn't even fucking have a foot fetish.

It felt suspiciously like fate when Grantaire received an owl from Hogwarts pleading for his help unbreaking a curse ensnaring Professor Enjolras, or maybe the cosmic forces of universe just enjoyed shoving painful memories in his face. Either way, he had a job to do.

Noscitur A Sociis* by Sunfreckle for BadassIndustries
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types
02 Feb 2018
Tags
Summary
“But we’re friends,” Enjolras groans, exasperated. “Of course I like him. He makes me laugh, he makes me see things differently…” His tone grows more and more frustrated. “He has a nice face. I like his eyes. And the way he grins while resting his chin on his fist. And the way he sort of…contorts his face when I make a joke he wasn’t expecting…”
Courfeyrac watches the slightly glazed, happy look that diffuses the frustration on Enjolras’ face for a moment. That sure looks like being in love to him...[Part of the Modern Means Less Miserable universe, but a completely self-contained story.]
* "Noscitur a sociis". Legal latin for “it is known from its associates,” or: the meaning of an unclear or ambiguous word should be determined by considering the words with which it is associated in the context, meaning that it is subject to the interpretation of the involved parties.
