[bigalockwood]

we'll make a home on the cracks (glowing review)

"The sun was warm on Simon’s skin, the waves of the sea a distant lullaby, the gull’s cries piercingly loud and the line in front of the ice cream shop stretching out far beyond where Simon could see, when he looked up into the smiling face of a stranger he’d likely never forget. "

Working in an ice cream parlor to earn some cash inbetween semesters has been a very responsible and mature decision, Simon knows that. But it's also been boring as hell. That changes when one day, a chance-encounter changes the course of his next twenty-four hours, and possibly his entire life. He's never been a romantic, never believed in the one true love. So, why does saying goodbye feel like dying?

Well... here I am, yet again, on a Friday, posting something. You can find the story here.

[gulliblelemon]

Chapter 7

“Remember that club in Stockholm?” Simon’s heart started beating more quickly as he dredged up the memories of that night. “When you disappeared all night?” Nodding, he lifted the mug to his lips to hide his face a little. “Am I about to finally find out where you were?” Lowering the mug, he swallowed and nodded again. He took a deep breath before letting the words out in a rush. “I was in Wilhelm’s hotel suite” Holding his breath, he waited for Sara’s reaction. Her eyes widened. “Wilhelm as in…?” “Yeah,” said Simon, nervously fidgeting with his mug. “That Wilhelm.” “Jesus Christ, Simon,” she said, an incredulous shake to her head. “Why?” And wasn’t that the million dollar question.

Both Simon and Wille try to get over it.

Read in AO3. Or start from the beginning.

[young-royals-confessions]

Inspired by a couple of earlier asks, could we make a ships other than Wilmon self-rec list? It would be nice for people coming into the fandom to have somewhere to start but I guess there aren't any reader-made rec lists. So maybe authors could reblog this and rec a couple of their own fics? Or a couple per ship if they've written for multiple ships and of course readers could still chip in too if they felt like it!

Yes! Authors or readers, send me recs for fics featuring non-Wilmon ships. Or reblog, comment, etc and I'll compile them into a post.

Young Royals Forever!

[simsim54]

Wilhelm, slightly disheveled entering the room: Sorry I'm late, I was doing things about the future of the monarchy

Simon, following behind and grinning smugly: I'm the future of the monarchy

[fragcc]

Wilmon AU in which Wille gets so drunk during a party that he ends up crying when Simon kisses him because he's so into him but he also knows he has a boyfriend and he feels like a jerk for cheating on him with gorgeous Simon

Simon – aka Wille's boyfriend - will laugh his ass off at the absurdity of it all, but then he spends the rest of the party holding an inconsolable Wille as the blonde keeps showing him cute pics of him and his boyfriends and sobbing a "look at him, he's so pretty, you can't kiss me anymore I can't hurt him"

Cue Simon promising a drunk Wille that he will not kiss him so that he won't be cheating anymore. Wille will hug him so tight then, saying "you're wonderful, Simon, I would love be with you in another life" and passing out not too long after

Next morning, Wille vividly remembers kissing someone at the party and he nearly has a panic attack over it before Simon barges into his room to tell him the most hilarious thing that he did last night (and then getting all the kisses Wille denied him last night)

[ungaroyals]

Wilhelm and Simon reunite at university after a heartbreaking departure at Hillerska. The two are forced back into each other’s lives and must navigate how to co-exist as the young men they’ve become. With such a complicated history, it seems almost impossible to untangle the mess they left behind. So why can’t they seem to stay away from each other?

Read Chapter One on AO3

Thank you @loren91 for the beautiful cover art.

Some of my favourite current YR wips

Because wips deserve lots of love🫶 please add any additions you have!!

I see you in my future | 15/? | by littlefandom

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?

Their relationship is super sweet here and I love the way they handle conflict. It’s so well done.

To be where you are | 5/? | by RBlytheo8

“It will get easier, Wille, once you find your Guide. They’ll be able to help you and support you like mamma and I can’t.”

“Oh, haven’t you heard? I don’t have a perfect match. I won’t have a Guide.”

(Or, a Sentinel and Guide story for Simon and Wille.)

Super interesting concept and lovely to see their dynamic.

Bittersweet ecstasy (I pick my poison and it’s you) | 2/3 | by wthbaby

Pure blooded wolves were said to descend from the moon goddess herself, being able to shift to their wolf forms, their genes stronger than the ones of the common wolf. They were the prime species. If a wolf were to be born pure blooded, no matter alpha, beta or omega, they were automatically in line of succession.

Wilhelm presented as an Alpha, in a long line of pure-bloods, at eighteen moons of age. He had a role to fulfill as the future Head Alpha of the northern pack.

And Simon, a male omega, a nobody, had fallen head over heels for the young alpha.

The only problem? Wilhem was set to be mated to another omega.

This feels like a fantasy setting which I love! It’s a lot about them as actual wolves , which is different (for me). The dynamic is again super interesting.

Where we left off | 4/10 | by gulliblelemon/ @gulliblelemon

Simon meets Wilhelm by accident in the wake of Erik's sudden death. This story follows their lives through the years, and through more of their accidental and on-purpose meetings, as their lives change and they cross paths again and again.

The last update broke me and I’m greatful for it🫶

Royally whipped | 15/16 | by bigalockwood / @bigalockwood

Erik's death leaves Wille unable to pick up his duties as Crown Prince right away. Instead he's granted two years away from the spotlight at Hillerska. Now that he's finished his education, the court expects him to make a public reappearance.

What better opportunity for a reintroduction than Sweden's favorite baking show? It's low risk, low stakes, no distractions.

Well. If it wasn't for Simon Eriksson, musician and Wille's long-time celebrity crush, everything could've been so easy.

This is a blast to read. It’s so sweet and I love to tune in every week to ready my chapter. I’ll be so sad when it’s done!

Constellations of love | 8/9 | by spidaya / @simons-purplehoodie

TLDR: An enemies to lovers & fake dating story, with focuses on Simon’s struggle to keep his family afloat despite his father’s abuse and addiction, and Wille’s trauma and anxiety from childhood to adulthood, heavily based on the book “They Hate Each Other” by Amanda Woody

They are silly and they are sweet and they are in love and I love them too. Again one I’ve realized is almost completed which feels bittersweet already!

I’m know I have more but those are the ones I could remember up the top of my head!

[pagegirlintraining]

It‘s late and I wanna be writing on my new wip but can’t (because real life obligations, who even invented those?🙄) so instead, have a random snippet from said wip:

Henry had suddenly gone a bit pale, his eyes wide as they flickered away from Simon and toward the opposite side of the table. Simon was about to ask if he was okay, when a clipped, “Hi,” answered the question for him. Of course, out of all the vacant seats in here, Wilhelm had chosen the one right across from them.

He did have the decency to blush a little when Simon turned to fix him with an unimpressed look. Nevertheless, his eyes met and held Simon’s as he gave him a curt nod and an equally short, “Simon.”

“Wilhelm,” Simon replied, keeping his voice coolly polite. It took some effort to continue holding their eye contact with the once again unsettling intensity of Wilhelm’s stare boring deep into Simon’s skull. He ultimately ended up forfeiting their renewed staring match thanks to Henry’s bewildered, “Wait, you guys know each other?”

His eyes had somehow grown in size yet again, flitting back and forth between the two boys. Simon’s answer came half to quench Henry’s growing panic and half to nip any rumors of him being friends with someone like Wilhelm in the bud.

“We’ve been assigned a room together.” To his satisfaction, Wilhelm grimaced the tiniest bit when Simon added, “Because everyone has to share a room here, no matter who their parents are.”

Am I excited? Maybe a little. (It’s a lot.) So yeah, enemies to lovers roommate edition. Coming at some point once life gets less crazy✌🏼

Never Letting You Go

There's no answer to the what-if, he's got no idea. He's scrambling mentally, trying to come up with something, anything, but nothing yields. All he comes up with is the fact that he needs to leave a lasting impression while he still can. So he just kisses Simon harder, fighting back against the constricting feeling that's trying to close up his throat. And Simon kisses back gladly, melts against Wilhelm, moves like he’s trying to blend into Wilhelm. And they're close, so close, but not nearly close enough, and all Wilhelm wants is to feel Simon, make Simon feel things.
