Summary
Briefly, he considers pulling out his phone and dropping Intro to Fiction and Poetry.
In the end, he forces himself towards the cafeteria. Maybe lunch will make him feel better, maybe it will help him make sense of the way Wilhelm had just spoken to him. So casual and kind, like he had never ripped Simon’s world in half and ground his heart into dust.
But maybe that’s exactly what Simon had always been to him: casual.
...
Or: Wilhelm is the love of sixteen-year-old Simon's life. Until he's not. Then, half a decade later, they meet again in a university classroom.Bookmarked by thepickwicks

Summary
Wilhelm isn’t sure exactly when he fell in love with his best friend. All he knows is that it’s taken root deep inside him, that he loves Simon always and unwaveringly, even when he hates everything else. But the timing is cruel. He’s found what he wants, only for it to slip away before he gets the chance to hold on.
Because Simon–his sunny, doe-eyed, halo-haired Simon, whose face could stop time, whose fierce determination is matched only by the tenderness of his touch–is leaving.
or: the best friends-turned-friends-with-benefits-turned-long-distance-boyfriends fic no one asked for.

Summary
“Unfortunately, Mister Eriksson, sorry isn’t good enough. The attention you’ve brought to our institution, not just from the press but from our royal family, cannot be swept under the rug.” The headmistress sighs, like this is a challenge for her. “Students from better circumstances have been expelled for less.”
“You mean,” he says, sullen and small, “students can who buy their way out of trouble.”
In which Simon — freshly broken up with the Crown Prince, with a viral sex tape on the Internet — faces punishment at Hillerska for dealing drugs on campus. Wilhelm uses it to win him back.
