Summary
The Ulfssons, renowned owners of a multibillion kronor company, are practically modern royalty. Sergeant Detective Simon Eriksson is the only one who sees them for what they truly are: dirty criminals.

When the disgraced son Wilhelm Ulfsson suddenly resurfaces as the new CEO, and a mysterious envelope appears on Simon’s doorstep implicating the company in a fraud scandal, Simon finally has what he needs to infiltrate and expose the truth.
Wilhelm and Simon are on two sides of a war on drugs and corruption and greed. And yet, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.

Summary
Simon is an up-and-coming singer, just starting to make it big. Wilhelm just tries to get through the tedious days filled with college and tedious court duties as best as he can, vowing that if he has to be prince, he at least can try and change things.
Seven years after the infamous video, and four years after they broke up, Simon and Wilhelm bump into each other in the streets of Stockholm. A happy reunion for one, a cold and hard wake-up call for the other.
Then Simon's manager comes up with the perfect plan to give Simon's music and his career right before his newest album drops: pretend to be friends again with none other than a certain crown prince...(Title from: Taylor Swift - Suburban Legends)
Work is ABANDONED as of 01/12/2024

Summary
It's been twelve years since Wille publicly denied being in a viral sex tape with Simon, and they've been great friends for years. While Simon's in a committed, long-term relationship and his dreams of becoming a successful musician finally seem to be within reach, Wille's still struggling with his fate of being the Crown Prince, and everything that means for his love life. When nothing goes as planned for Simon, though, and friendly comfort turns into more, how will they cope with the consequences? And what if Wille's been keeping a secret from Simon all these years that might very well destroy whatever it is they have?

Summary
Love, apparently, comes at the most unexpected moments and in the most random places. Wille agrees with that. He did not expect to meet the love of his life online, but the moment his eyes landed on Simon through the screen, it was like he knew that it was going to be something special, something extraordinary...
What he did not know then, was the distance between them, the differences, the troubles they were going to face in order to be together in the way they wanted to.
But another thing that he does know, is that Simon is worth it and that they are in this together, both of them willing to put themselves through all of the obstacles if it means they get their happy ending.
The question is: will they get it?

Summary
Wilmon Advent Calendar 2024. Follow along and read a new part of the story every day.
Faced with the annual Christmas stress and fresh family drama, Prince Wilhelm in a snap decision books a remote cabin in the woods to get away from it all. Just him, nature and a cozy fireplace.
Equally fed up with his life, Simon decides to seek refuge in his sister's cabin, reaching it just in time before the big snowstorm hits. Except that he finds it already occupied. It's too dangerous to turn back, so he has to stay the night.
In the morning, Simon and Wille wake to a winter wonderland and discover that they are thoroughly snowed in. What could've been a nuisance might just turn into exactly what both of them have been looking for.Bookmarked by trivial_pursuits

Summary
Simon holds up his phone on his notes app. He’s been brainstorming. It reads: Hi, Wilhelm. Sorry to message you but I’m having a situation at school with some bullies that I could use your help with. I get if you don’t want to. Thanks.
“Wow, no emoji. So businesslike.” Rosh is so mean to him.
Simon groans. “It’s really hard! What am I supposed to say? Hey, remember how we had one last night together and we said goodbye and I never gave you a birthday present and then the school closed? Well. Can you pretend the breaking up part didn’t happen to get some assholes off my back?”
“Maybe the difficulty of writing the message should clue you in to the badness of the plan,” Rosh argues.

Summary
Simon and Wille have... an arrangement. They don't have to like each other, they don't even have to really talk to each other; they can just take what they need and then carry on as if they've not just had their hands in each other's pants. But then something happens that throws their delicate agreement out of the window, and they're left having to figure out what they are to each other. Enemies? Indifferent colleges? Friends? Or... something else?

Summary
“But I thought the whole idea was that God didn’t make mistakes?” Simon’s voice challenged him, his hand lifting Wille’s head to allow their eyes to meet, eyes watery, begging, pleading with him not to do what they both knew he was trying to.
“My parents certainly seem to think he made one with me,” Wille instinctively leaned into Simon’s touch, the tears still trickling down his cheeks wiped away by Simon’s thumb.
Simon hummed softly, “They’re wrong then,” he pressed a kiss to Wille’s hand, reciting what Wille distantly recognized as a verse from Song of Solomon, “You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you,” his voice dropped to almost a whisper, “You’re not a mistake, Wille.”
Honor thy father and mother
There was no room for queerness in the version of Wille’s life that his parents had demanded from him. The contract he had signed, agreeing to deny his sexuality, chained him to their faith - to their ideals of religion. But how could he kneel before God when his soul ached to worship at the temple of Simon’s body; with his hands, his tongue? For what was worship if not holy, sacred addiction? What was love if not a free fall from heaven into hell?

Summary
They’ve held each other a billion times. This is home, Simon thinks, gulping in the soft fragrance of flowers and soap and Wille until his head is spinning with it.
If Simon breaks down silently into Wille’s shoulder, who is to tell? Water is water, and tears get embedded in shiny rain pearls like blue into silver.
This is home, and he never gets to have it again.

Summary
“What are you doing here Wille?” The cabinet door slams closed and they both jump at the sound. He winces, setting down the mug with slightly shaking hands.
“Let’s try this again.” Simon closes his eyes to rub at his temple in frustration. He tries to school his voice and expression into something calmer and more nonchalant than he feels; “What are you doing in front of my home without any kind of warning? It’s been nearly three years, Wille. You understand that you can’t just do that, right?”
OR
Simon is at a turning point in his new fast paced life in the city of London. He’s finally landed a major breakout role onstage, in the West End revival of the musical Spring Awakening. It seems as though all of his stars are finally aligning.
Things take a turn when Wilhelm, who still lives in Stockholm and now works as a fashion designer after giving up his title, shows up out of the blue with a request that leaves him feeling blindsided and unmoored.
The past and the present find themselves tangled together as they are forced to confront their past mistakes, their lingering feelings toward one another and the secrets of their relationship which still keep them tied together.
