    As always with these old Reddit posts, take with a pinch of salt. Could always have been edited, might have nothing to do with Hollanov. Food for thought, though. 🤷

    Alternatively: a Reddit post from ten years ago sparks the beginning of the long-awaited timeline reveal.

    Summary

    At the end of seventh year, Simon Snow catches Baz in the woods with Agatha and can't stop himself from tackling him to the ground.

    Unfortunately, the Humdrum chose that exact moment to pull Simon away from Watford and into a dead wood. Doubly unfortunately, the Humdrum decides its better to keep Simon in a tower where he can't cast any magic. And just to top off an amazingly shitty cake, Baz has been dragged along with him.

    Summary

    “Would a more kinaesthetic approach suffice, then?”
    “A-are you suggesting grabbing my arse?”
    “I’m suggesting, that since this seems to be a topic of great interest to you, Snow, I can charitably offer you a lesson in the basics.”
    Snow unleashes an agitated groan. Merlin, I don’t know how the boy can manage to keep up such a froth for so long. (Though I’ve somehow managed to keep up an erection for this long, so I’m not one to speak on the matter of indecorous stamina.)
    “You’ve never offered to tutor me in anything before!” he yammers.
    “Precisely.” I curl my lip at him. “So don’t expect me to ever be so generous with my offers of elucidation ever again.”



    Baz gets caught with a dildo up his arse, which results in an awkward conversation about the benefits of anal stimulation.
    Simon is admittedly curious, and, well, so long as it's something straight blokes can enjoy too, there's no reason not to let Baz show him the ropes...right?

    Summary

    “I didn’t tell him anything, I swear, but maybe he—”
    “Oh, yeah, no,” I say quickly, “It’s okay. He already knew about the—” I clumsily wave a hand in the air instead of saying the words. “I actually told him a few days after me and you talked about it.”
    Penny tilts her head at me in a way that lets me know that she has questions, but I don’t think I’ll have answers for any of them.
    “I don’t want to talk about this,” I say. Especially not at breakfast. Jesus fuck. I keep eating mechanically and try to think about anything else. Unfortunately, all my brain can come up with is Baz. I find him across the hall and he turns around to sneer at me the second my eyes land on him. I almost sigh in relief.

    *

    Simon, having recently started to recover from an eating disorder, decides to share this fact with his roommate Baz. Neither really expect much to change, but of course, they're both slightly ridiculous and very in love, so everything changes.

    Set at an unspecified time in their eighth year, so they're approximately 18, but the events of Carry On didn't happen.

    (ED and MH content is relatively mild and non-graphic. I've elaborated on ED stuff in notes.)

    This spell is exactly what I need for Baz to tell me what he’s up to. I just need to wait for him to get back from his evening rat hunting/plotting activities.

    Summary

    Simon, Baz and Philippa all walk into detention together, but only Simon and Baz walk out alive. It turns out that Philippa’s death was no accident and Simon and Baz become the main suspects in the case.

    Things get even stranger when the other students all suddenly lose their spellcasting abilities. Could these two seemingly separate events somehow be related?

    Begrudgingly, Simon and Baz put aside their differences and work together in the interest of clearing their names, getting everyone's magic back, and serving justice for Philippa.

    Summary

    Baz sighs and squeezes his eyes shut. “I was just trying to help.”
    “But why?”
    “Because I care about you,” he grits out, like he’s tired from holding the words back. He uncrosses his legs and lets his feet land on the floor with a dull thud. “I just… wanted to help.” He looks utterly defeated, but I still don’t understand why. What the hell is so terrible about… What? Caring about my grades?
    I take a breath but he interrupts before I say another word.
    “If you ask me why one more time, I’m going to set myself on fire.”
    I scoff. “Surely that’s a bit dramatic.”
    He laughs, but it sounds flat and a bit broken. “No, it’s really not.”


    When Baz is the first to figure out that Simon has trouble reading—in their eighth fucking year at Watford—he decides to do something about it.

    Featuring: a new study regime; Baz being bad at feelings; Simon being only slightly less bad at feelings; Mordelia Grimm being a loveable little weirdo and also a badass; Baz's emotional support scones; Penny, Agatha, Dev and Niall being the worst (read: best) friends, and a perfectly imperfect—if unconventional—love confession.

    Summary

    Baz Pitch has been missing for. So long. (Simon hasn't even kept track.) (Yes he has.) (It's been 29 days.) Anyways. Baz is clearly up to something. And Simon's got to put a stop to it. Even if that means ditching school and finding Baz himself.

    Turns out, finding Baz isn't the hard part. Turns out, the hard part is everything that comes after.

    Summary

    Simon is working on housekeeping magic for his eighth year spell, and things predictably go awry. He accidentally combines his bed and Baz’s into one, and they can’t ask for an extra bed for Reasons. Alas, no one wants to sleep on the floor, so it seems as though they have no option but to bunk up.

    That’s when they discover Simon’s spell doesn't only affect the furniture :P

    Summary

    When Simon accidentally casts "I'm rubber, you're glue," both he and Baz lose the ability to interact with the world in any kind of effective way. Until they find a reversal, the only option is for the two halves of the spell to cancel out, which only works when they're touching.

    In which Baz finds he rather likes having Simon walk in on him 'taking care of himself' and starts redirecting his plotting towards making it happen again.

    (Formerly: 5 Times Simon Walked In On Baz Wanking and 1 Time He Told Him To, literally nothing else has changed, this is the exact same fic. It just needed a title that wasn't shite. Also it ended up only vaguely a 5+1 so...)

    Snow is about to go off, his magic is leaking out of him and I start to wonder if this was a mistake. I just wanted to tease him; I didn’t think he was going to get so mad over this. What the hell happened with Wellbelove?
    “Snow, calm down or you’re going to go off.”
    “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” he shouts, “I want to know if you’re in love with her.”

    Simon goes off and accidentally binds them together - 8th year Watford canon divergence.

    “I can’t.”

    “Why not?”

    “I’m under the spell too.”

    Arthur raised an eyebrow. “And you’re in the habit of lying?”

    “Yes,” Merlin said helplessly.

    Summary

    “You are baby.” He said matter of factly.

    “I’m, what?” Hollander seemed offended and surprised all at once.

    “I catch you touching yourself and now you can’t even look at me. Baby.” Ilya teased, not moving his eyes away from Hollander’s.

    He watched a blush creep under Hollander’s freckles and thought about kissing them. He nearly broke eye contact just from that. He needed to stay focused.

    “I’ve just been busy!” Hollander defended himself. He took a step back from Ilya. Ilya took a step forward. He stared at Hollander, making the doubt on his face clear.

    Hollander’s whole body was fidgeting. Ilya loved how nervous he was making him. He could tell Hollander was close to breaking.

    “Admit it. You are baby.”

    “I’m not!”

    “Then prove it,” Ilya growled, walking forward until Hollander’s back was up against the wall.
