Just read your dbd fic and immediately came here to tell you how mindblown I am!!! Absolutely love the concept I'm like so obsessed!!

I don't know a lot of people in the fandom either so if you wanna chat I volunteer 👀

aaa thank you so much!! the concept came to me before i had even really dipped a toe into the fandom, and then i wrote the whole fic at once after not writing for like. a year and a half and i'm so glad it's as intriguing to someone else as it was to me!!

my friend @ghostinthelibrarywrites and i were joking that if we couldn't find anywhere to hang out we'd have to make our own little discord server of like 2 people 😂 so now 3!! or ofc my inbox is always open 💖

Hot Royal Debut: Meet the Mysterious Man Spotted at Prince Erik’s Memorial Service

Here’s everything we know about Prince Jakob’s handsome new caretaker.

All eyes were on the little Prince Jakob during the annual memorial service for the late Prince Erik yesterday, undoubtedly, but a new member to the royal household has also captured hearts around the nation - Prince Jakob’s nanny who made his first public appearance at the event.

The annual event has always been a somber affair for the Royal Family, but especially after the turbulent year the family had, with Princess Alma’s tragic passing, the entirety of Sweden is anxious to finally see Prince Jakob again at what would be his first official outing since the passing of his mother.

Prince Jakob donned a smart Stefano Ricci suit (get the look here for 19,000SEK) for the event, quietly emotional throughout the service where he sat in the lap of his newest babysitter, Simon Eriksson, right next to his father Crown Prince Wilhelm. Prince Jakob seems to have already formed a trusted bond with Eriksson, who reportedly started his role merely a month ago - he held the little prince’s hand throughout the duration of the service and was able to keep the tears at bay, despite Prince Jakob’s well known tumultuous temper.

Eriksson clearly has quickly become an adored member of the royal family, as seen here sharing smiles with Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Jakob during a private moment visiting late Prince Erik’s grave at the Royal Cemetery, and Eriksson soothing the young prince in a heartwarming display of soft affection.

Prince Jakob’s newest nanny has been the hot topic in royal news since yesterday - admiring the young man’s dashing looks aside, many commentators on social media are also charmed by his abilities to cheer up the notoriously moody little prince.

Not much is known about Simon Eriksson so far - here is Eriksson dressed in a smart but understated Burberry coat, a down-to-earth beanie hat, and a scarf of a similar style to Crown Prince Wilhelm’s usual attire to his royal debut yesterday. Being the first male caretaker to a young heir of the Swedish Royal Family, Eriksson is certainly an unusual addition to the household, also standing out with his natural hairstyle, a fresh renewal from the usual military style grooming that royal nannies were historically subjected to.

Crown Prince Wilhelm and the late Princess Alma were hands-on parents with a modern approach, and departing from the tradition to hire expatriate nannies hailing from renowned childcare academies across Europe, Simon Eriksson is a local graduate from Stockholm University, with experience in child psychology and early education. Sources say that Eriksson graduated top of his class and always received praises from all of his work placements, at prestigious institutes or otherwise.

Whilst Eriksson does not have the same elite education as traditional royal nannies do, he is a bilingual native speaker of Spanish and would no doubt be a great asset for Prince Jakob to follow in his father’s footsteps, who speaks five languages. The four-year-old little prince apparently can already count up to 100 in Spanish.

Eriksson’s background seems unorthodox within the royal household’s track record, but impressively he has been able to keep up with the difficult task of supporting the newly widowed Crown Prince Wilhelm and keeping the young Prince Jakob on his best royal behaviour - not a small feat when Prince Jakob has reportedly cycled through multiple caretakers during his mourning period. He must be as charming as his strikingly good looks advertise if Crown Prince Wilhelm’s smiley break from the solemn day is anything to go by.

From the royal laughs we took a glimpse of yesterday, it’s not hard to deduce that we will be seeing much more of the young and attractive nanny at more functions in the future, as quickly formed fans of the new royal gentleman rejoice.

hi frienddd <3

7 and 10 for the writer asks plssss :)

7. Your favorite ao3 tag

I love any variation of "no beta we die like" and just in general when writers (myself included) use the tags to also just go off. i know that's not what tags are for but there's somethings you can't put in the summary that i still want people to know.

10. Top three favorite fic tropes?

Already answered this but obviously i'm gonna have more so here's three more tropes that are near and dear to my heart. (i just realized at least 4 out of the 6 i've mentioned so far are in suburban legends lol. i just love them so much)

Right person/wrong time (goes very well with second chances)

Hurt/comfort

Fake dating (or pretend relationship)

Send me a fic writing ask <3

[kfromliterarysluts]

so, i've finally got time to write this.

dear @prince-simon , i've got a bone to pick with you.

i wanted a short, cute wilmon fic after i've finished yrs2 and i landed on your fic. i'm currently chapter 9 i think and here are some facts i'd like to state beforehand:

- i started learning spanish again because of this fic - and it makes me incredibly happy

- i fell in love with simon/omar and i can't decide whether i want to be with him or be him (omar too bcs from what i've guessed simons personality is somewhat based on at least his public appearances)(and being queer is the best thing that has happened to him - have you seen the 2018 pics??)

-i managed to read smut again for the first time in a really long time because it was just so loving...

-everything that has happened is not just headcanon, it is a reality now indeed. as i've told you before, it makes this reality a little easier to live in. a little less disastrous.

when i first started reading i sent L a picture of the wordcount and caption it "death, torture even" and this is the best torture i have ever endured. my soul has left my body a milion times after the first chapter but when i was reading ch1 it made me feel happy. truly, overwhelmingly happy. (is it important to state i'm a burned out law student with mental illnesses?) the characters are witty, funny, nice and real. the things happening are heartbreaking YET here they are, working though it together. that is probably what has been hitting me the most.

not to mention how funny and relatable and shocking the entire thing is - it's like you took my dreams and you wrote them down. if i could, i'd write love letters to you for this.

i can imagine you typing the words, but can you imagine how the words soak into my skin and shape me into a hopeless romantic? can you see my heart shifting a little every time your fingers type out an unlikely, heartwarming scene? how my eyes light up when reading something you smiled at when you wrote? how i break a little inside every time something happens to them? to you? what if i never get to see your words grow old with you? what would my life look like, even more incomplete than it is now?

apart from the fact that i 'm bisexual myself and i relate to a lot of things wille is going thru, this fic has transported me into a world where i can be with the person i have been in love with for some time now - we're not princes indeed, but i always wished that even if the circumstances are against us, we could be together. thank you for giving me hope that it can work out. (consequently, i am now waiting for a breathtakingly beautiful spanish person to swoop me off my feet, learn czech for me and will fight for me and everything i stand for too.)

i now know to take the chances, to keep on hoping. that true love is only for the brave. but it's also incredibly hard to not take anything into the real world with me - because i can't face that life is hard and the likelyhood of my fairytale ever coming true is nonexistent basically. you filled the hole in my heart with rose petals but they are slowly drying out and fading away; and the empty space suddenly seems bigger than it was before.

but now on the more funny note cuz you've been crying enough. here are some of my headcanons:

- for some reason, marisa tomei is my fancast as HRH queen Linda bcs idk don't ask

- simon now obsessively calls his mum about the plants - he would rather die himself than let them die

- gatorade curls up into a ball in simons bed after he's left, because he misses his warmth - they're both stubborn idiots who don't know how to approach each other

-simon practiced ballroom dancing for the sole purpouse to dance with wille at a ball - which he didn't get to do yet

- wille practices his spanish in front of the mirror just like he used to do with his presentations and he hates everything about it, until he says something in spanish and simon totally melts - that's when he finally appreciates his own hard work

- HS and simon shopping for clothes together (consequently gucci ha ha ha ft. his royal gayness -> best collection ever created)

- the necklace simon got for his bday is only to be taken off (optional to a certain extend) and put back on by wille and wille only - fifty years from now, it is their morning ritual to put it back on and if willes hands got a little clumsy with time, simon doesn't mind because it gives him some extra time together before he has to go see to his duties

i got plenty more but i'll keep some for now so that i can sprinkle them on here later :)

so yes i have a bone to pick with you, your highness. you gave my life an entirely unexpected rush of serotonin and now it's really difficult to live. best believe i will continue contacting you in regard of whatever has been written... hope you won't get sick of me

sincerely signed,

k, Crown princess of United States of Desperation

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?

i think alternate universe, although other ones up there are all smut based 🤡

27. What do you listen to while writing?

i don’t actually listen to anything when i write bevause i get distracted easily! occasionally i’ll have something playing very quietly in the background but it’s p rare

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

how far my writing has come! like thinking about what i was writing at the beginning of jan to now it’s improved so much

also the relationships i’ve built through writing fic!! like we first started getting closer when you beta read no homo roommates for me and now i’m beta reading for you and we’ve gotten to actually hang out and it’s just!!!! i’m so grateful!!

hi lovely! <3 i'd like to know 21 and 32 for the writer asks!

hi hi hi!

21. can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? if you can, what's your secret.

huge resounding no for this one, i am notoriously bad at predicting fic length, usually because i ended up writing way more than i was expecting

also a lot of the time, i just start writing and when it's all done, only then do i reflect on how long my fics have gotten

32. do you have a word/expression that you always use in your writing?

hmm this is a good question, i feel like there are definitely similar phrases and words in all of my fics, but i haven't really thought about specifics! but i do feel like there are similarities in all of my fics

thanks for visiting! come back any time

-miels 💜✨

[hergrandplan]

hiiii!

7, 13, 20 for the writing asks <3

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I hope you're well, thank you for sending these <3

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you've ever written and why you're proud of it.

"He wants to stretch this moment into eternity, to will the sun to not come up and the birds to not sing and the earth to stop spinning on its axis. He wants to freeze time.

But time heeds no one. And certainly not a lovesick teenage boy."

A very tiny (cowardly) snippet but this sentence came to me while I was getting groceries (most of this fic came to me while I was getting groceries that day actually) and it hasn't left my mind since. There's just something about its cadence that I really like (I'm not good at cadence so if it happens I'm extra proud of it), and the imagery as well. The desperation of Wille knowing this is their final night together, there's not going to be anymore chances so he delays the inevitable as much as possible, begging the universe to give him one more hour, one more minute even. Truly one of my favorite sentences I've ever written.

13. What's the best writing advice you've ever come across?

Idk if it's necessarily the best, but I tend to be very wordy with my writing, I want to explain everything because I like giving the full picture, and I am very aware of the fact that sometimes it's too much and I lose power. So one thing I try to keep in mind (when editing) at least is that a) less is more, but b) you also have to have faith in the reader that they can fill in the gaps sometimes, especially when simply Describing Actions. (idk this feels like really basic advice but I try to keep it in mind when I have another endless sentence happening, or when a scene falls flat, it's usually because I'm using too many words)

20. Describe your perfect writing conditions

No tumblr (too much distraction), a clean room (which it never is), rain ticking against my window (so I have a good excuse to not go outside) and a cup of steaming hot tea next to me (that I hope I don't accidentally knock over, spilling tea all over my keyboard). And also, idk, some kind of body doubling actually is my main method in being productive. So ideally, on voice call with someone lol
