    Summary

    Summary

    It’s the first time the word has left his mouth in a decade. Before that, the context was in reference to fictional characters in shows or films he used to watch. To Edward Cullen and Lestat. It was his mum who used to love that genre most and Harry who would dutifully watch with her. Now, he probably couldn’t bear any of it. Just like he can’t bear to see his mother.
    Once such a simple, fantastical word.
    Now it encapsulates the tragedy and the ruin that is his life.
    “I’m a vampire,” he says again. Because if he has to say it, he might as well do so loud and clear.

    harry is still coming to terms with his affliction, which means it isn't the best time to go falling in love. and when louis joins the New York-based company where harry works, love isn't what harry's after. a harmless flirt in the lunchroom, maybe. a few conversations on the train ride home. but not love...or so harry tells himself.

    Summary

    There’s only one problem: Simon has no idea what W. looks like.

     

    When Simon, an editorial assistant at one of Sweden’s most prominent commercial publishing houses, stumbles upon a manuscript sent in by a mysterious W. Viklund, he doesn’t expect it to be any good. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall in love with it, or that the author is kind, and funny, and witty and keeps distracting him from his work.
    Simon looks forward to every new message sent by W., every cat video that he’s found somewhere online. It isn’t long until butterflies fly rampant in his stomach and he can’t stop thinking about W. It’s so easy to talk to him, as if they’ve known each other for years. Only thing is, they haven’t… right?
    Or: a story about teenage romance, second chances and falling harder than you’d ever thought possible.

    Summary

    Simon forces himself to keep breathing. It’s only suspicious if he makes it so, he tells himself firmly. “What’s wrong?” he teases, doing his best to keep his tone light. “I’m sure you’ve met plenty of my kind.”

    “Nothing,” Wilhelm jumps to defend himself. He picks idly at the skin of his fingers and Simon can’t help but notice the ragged flesh around his nails, almost as if this is a common habit for him. “I’ve just never had the best relationship with reporters - or the press.”

    ------
    Or: Simon, a journalist at a left-wing magazine, eagerly accepts the chance of a lifetime to write a scathingly honest piece about the newly crowned King Wilhelm, who has a history shrouded in parties, drugs, and gay allegations. His plans, however, go to shit when he realizes that Wilhelm is nothing like he expected.

    Summary

    “A couple of photos together before the rest of the team comes in too. Wille, here, could you hold this up with Simon,” the photographer asks, handing Wille one of the royal blue jerseys the team wears. Lifting up the shirt and handing it for Simon to hold he sees the ‘Eriksson 10’ printed on the back.

    “Did they actually ask you which number you want or…” Wille asks Simon, in Swedish then, the first question of the night that isn’t at least partially scripted. Looking over he sees the man crack a wide smile and shake his head in a small motion, making sure it’s not noticeable in the photos.

    “No, though I’m sure someone in my team was asked about it and they just said pick whichever number you want,” he answers.

    ***

    Or, when professional footballer Wilhelm Andersson meets popstar Simon Eriksson, he doesn't know just how much his life is going to change. But how much is he willing to lose to win?
