Young Royals S1 - Happy 5 years! š
I know there's only a few readers left in the YR fandom, but this story is very important to me and I hope it finds some love!
Born with a broken heart
Chapter 6 out!
When he opened the door, Wille was sitting in his chair, back to him in front of the big mirror, busying himself with putting on his make up with slow and deliberate moves. It didnāt appear like he was slow from lack of experience ā more like he was thoroughly enjoying his work and putting a lot of care into each layer. It was still quiet in the big room, but it wouldnāt take long until the other artists would flock in and disturb the peace. Awkwardly, Simon hovered on the doorstep. He didnāt really know what he had expected ā and even less what to do now. He hadnāt thought about anything when he had pushed the door open, and now he was standing there, lost and feeling stupid. Maybe he had secretly hoped that Wille wasnāt really in. That he could just go and take a glance at his clothes, his costume, run his fingers over his belongings that would give him a better understanding of the person he was. Sneak around a little. Which of course he wouldnāt. Because thatās not what normal people did. Simon would never! Only if there happened to be stuff lying around everywhere ā that could hardly be his fault. Unfortunately, the room was not empty, and a voice pulled him out of his stupor. Wilhelmās voice.
āCan I help you with anything, or are you happy staring?ā Through the mirror, Simon caught Willeās raised eyebrow. āThis is the artistsā dressing room.ā
Simon opened and closed his mouth like a fish, but there was no sound, and he could feel his skin blazing. What the fuck? He knew the room very well, hello? This club was HIS territory. The newbie could shut up with his arrogant demeanor and milky skin and perfect mouth and ā duh, Simon hadnāt just thought this, had he? But then the corners of Wilhelmās āperfectā mouth twitched, and he bit his lip to force down the grin that wanted to take over his complexion. And suddenly, Simonās skin felt even warmer, and his grip on the door handle relaxed.
YOUNG ROYALS 1.05
Thank you fanfic authors, for giving us the mechanic au, for the barista version, for recommending us the tattoo shop with the perfect florist and bookstore-cafƩ next door. For cradling the childhood au, the little version, the traumatized. Thank you for creating and expanding, playing with the what-ifs, in and out of canon.
For the visions of scales, wings, fins and fangs. The red tread tying them together, the expanded friendships and found families. Thank you for holding their hand while you are sending them up in space, igniting the spark of magic, encouraging their speeches as teachers, politicians or rowdy teenagers.
For never giving up, for bringing the insomnia, the meet-cute and libraries full of all possible outcomes (and kissing nooks). Thank you for solving the crimes or creating the murder scene, for giving the pop star and the rocker a world tour and the best social media mistakes. Thank you, for lending us your stories.

Drag Queen Wille chap 3
Born with a broken heart
With a deep breath, Wilhelm forced some air into his lungs. He knew how to do this. Heād had enough training on that one. Wilhelm closed his eyes and when he spoke ā despite his glowing cheeks and pounding heart ā his voice was clear and steady. āLukeās duck likes lakes. Luke Luck likes lakes. Lukeās duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes.ā When he opened his eyes, Simon was staring at him with a blank expression. He blinked. And blinked again before he opened his mouth. āLukeās dick likes WHAT?ā āDUCK. Lukeās duck! Likes lakes.ā āYou said ālicksā.ā āYes. Likes and licks.ā āLukeās duck licks dicks?ā Wilhelm rolled his eyes. āLicks lakes.ā Simon frowned. āWhy?ā āBecause itās a duck?ā āDick.ā āDUCK!ā āThis doesnāt make any sense.ā

Chapter 2 of Drag Queen Wille
Born with a broken heart
Out on AO3
Scene: Simon has to put a mic-pack on Wilhelm, and they both have no fun. Simon makes a discovery.
When Simon brushed his fingers along the neckline of his dress, Wilhelm shivered so hard that he could feel the ripples in his muscles up and down his spine. āCan you stand still for a moment?ā, Simon groused, as he was tugging on his clothes in an unfriendly manner. āI need to fix this.ā Wilhelm leaned back and ended up in an awkward half-bent position so Simon could reach up. It was stupid and uncomfortable. And all those conflicting feelings were straining his nerves. Wille wasnāt good with handling feelings, his own or anyone elses ā not even on a good day. And they were hot and cold, highly confusing feelings on top of it. Fuck it, he really didnāt want them. āSorryā, Wille snapped back, āIām tall. Want a ladder or something?ā An angry grunt was the sole reply. But Simon let go of him, and Wille straightened up with a sigh when the sound guy grabbed the mic-pack from his table. āI need to attach the holder to your dress. Mostly we use these pins for thatā, he said and pulled out a set of huge, scary looking safety pins, that would easily go not only through Willeās dress but through his skin and muscle as well. Honestly, those pins were big enough to hook the mic-pack directly to his ass cheeks. At the sight of the shiny metal, Wille felt a good deal of his blood leaving his face to pool somewhere in his belly. Was this the right time to tell cable boy that he was having a problem with needles? Like, not the āI donāt particularly support needles the size of a pinky finger in my near proximity, but Iāll take it like a manā-kind of way, unless more the dizzy-head, nausea-inducing, fainting problem? āIs that okay?ā, Wille heard the other one say through a light fog that had crept over his perception. No, it was not okay. Wille was not okay. Neither his dress, that would certainly be ruined by these barbaric meat hooks, nor his psyche wanted these murder-pins close. And even his ass cheeks were scared now and clenched tight all by themselves. But the microphone was mandatory ā and how else should they attach it to his body? Wille made a mental note to sow a little pocket onto his stage dresses for the pack to go in in the future. But for now ā stainless steel murder pins it was. Wille tried to stand still when Simon pushed the first of the pointy metal through the fabric of his dress, eyes pressed shut in anticipation of the sting, the blood, the drama that was about to unfold. But there was no sting. And instead of working on his dress, the other boy was just staring down at the small of his back with a furrowed brow. Wille had opened his eyes after Simon had breached the light fabric and faltered. Now Wille realized heād probably hit the firm surface of the corset that was lying below. āWhat the hell are you wearing? Is this an armor or what?ā Well, that wasnāt too far from the truth. āCorset.ā
I'm super fond of prickly Drag Queen Wille (that's why he'll suffer neverending pain from my hands, but really, I love him!). ā¤ļø Let me know what you think abt this trope, bc it's very special and a bit exotic.
Simon Eriksson Isn't Short
Simon would never admit that heās short ā because heās not and he has the statistics to prove it, thank you very much. He will, however, concede (at least to himself) that he rather enjoys being shorter than his boyfriend. For one thing, he is the perfect height to tuck his face into the crook of Willeās neck when theyāre hugging, and breathe in his scent thatās so wonderfully concentrated there. And, sue him, he does find it hot that Wille can and will pick him up and carry him when the mood strikes. Or pin him against the wall, Simonās legs wrapped around his waist. Whatās not to like about that?
But most of all, he loves how safe he feels when Wille holds him. Thereās something primal and instinctive about it, he supposes, the feeling of safety that can only come from being held by someone bigger than you who loves you more than anything, someone who makes you feel like they can protect you from all danger regardless of whether itās true or not. No matter how bad things are, when Wille wraps him in his arms and holds him close to his chest, itās impossible not to believe theyāll get better again.Ā
That's so lovely. Height difference is such a romantic thing, but really it doesn't matter when you're with the right person
Skating The Line - Chapter 4
"Holy fuck", [Wille] said now. "Why the fuck does anyone like this?" Honestly. right at that moment, Simon couldn't have told him either. His entire body was still trembling, fingers clutching Wille's hand where it had been resting on his knee. He'd subconsciously moved closer during the jumpscare, it seemed, the outer edge of his propped up foot grazing Wille's. Which, now that the first immediate panic was starting to ebb away, was kind of nice, actually. Wille's body was radiating heat next to Simon, the back of his hand soft and smooth and warm against his fingers. It was almost like the warmth was seeping into Simon's skin, filling his chest and stomach and sending a wave of butterflies through him. Wait āĀ Butterflies? Weren't those supposed to be for, like, being in love? That was what all the songs and books and movies said, right? Then why was he feeling them withĀ Wille?! Just at that moment, he felt Wille's arm shifting, his hand turning beneath Simon's until it lay with its palm up, fingers sliding between Simon's. AndĀ oh. Okay. One wave of butterflies could've been a trick of his imagination, but the tingles he could feel shooting from where Wille's hand now clasped his all the way down his spine? Those were definitely real.Ā
Oh, 14 yo Simon, you still have so much ahead of you š Chapter 4 out now on AO3 :)
Awww, my babiiiees
SUNDAY SNIPPET
from my new YR fic
Born with a broken heart
(yes, it's Wilmon, and THIS is the mood)
The dressing room was supposed to be somewhere on the left. But the first door he had found had been locked. The next one heād tried was a toilet. He was surely not expected to change in there, so where the fuck was this goddamn changing room? He was short on time, for even though he had packed all the stuff heād wanted to bring already the day before, he had panicked last minute and ransacked his whole bag for last minute changes. Now he was almost late.
Perfect.
Not that he was being part of the variety. But he was supposed to give a taste of his performance before the doors opened, show his style and his songs and maybe snatch a spot on that stage for a few nights. This was a chance heād been waiting for forever. For his art to get recognition and his style admirers. If only he could find the fucking dressing room, because right now he had nothing to show but a pair of blue jeans, some beat up white sneakers and a face that was far too boyish and unappealing to get him anywhere.
In random despair, Wille tumbled through another door on the other side of the corridor, only to find it being a storage room.
āOh no, fuck, NO!ā
Sunday Snippet
from my current Wilmon WIP.
As AO3 is down and you can't read the old stuff, I give you a tiny little glimpse of the ongoing work. The amout of shit I put Wilhelm through in this one is really not fair, poor baby. But what can I do - boy was born to suffer.
āYouāre sad. Do you really think drinking makes it any better?ā Wille smacked the glass onto the table top and looked up at Simon with a fierce stare. āDonāt you dare judge me! Just stop critiquing my every move!ā He pushed up from his seat, the legs of the chair screeching across the floor so loudly it made Simon wince. Wilhelmās eyes were wild when he started to shout into his face. āLike I havenāt heard it all. āNo Wille, you canāt!ā āI will not let that pass!ā āWhat are you thinking?ā āHow dare you?ā āThatās not the way!ā And my all-time favorite: āGET YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TOGETHER!ā Simon tumbled back a step, startled by Wilhelmās drunken outburst. And suddenly they stood close - very close - Wilhelm's chest heaving, bangs falling into his face and a hectic flush coloring his cheeks. āI just thought ā¦ā, Simon stammered helplessly in the face of the tidal wave of wrath that was rolling over him. āI donāt fucking care what you think!ā, Wilhelm shouted. āI donāt fucking care!ā With this, he took another step forward, and Simon walked backwards until his back hit the wall. āIāve spent my whole life caring about what people think. Itās in my essence, in my genes. Itās all that ever counted! But you know what? Iām done! Iām done with caring, because I canāt take it anymore!ā, Wilhelm yelled, breathing heavily, like every one of his words was a brick, and he was throwing them off his chest one by one. His face was contorted into a snarl, and no matter how hard he tried to hold it in, there was no way Simon couldnāt see the tears that were being born in the corners of his eyes. āI can not be what they want me to be. I can not be what everybody expects. Trust me, Iāve tried. Iāve tried my whole fucking life! But I canāt be what they want. Only thing I can be is myself. My own useless, pathetic self. And that. Is never. Enough.ā In search for a hold, Simonās hands clutched the wall behind. Wilhelm could feel his tense body under him, every muscle alert, ready to fight. Bur Wilhelm didn't have any power left to fight anymore, not after this all-consuming hell of a night. His breath came in stuttering puffs, tasting of booze and bitterness. Then his shoulders sagged, and Wilhelm sank his forehead against the wall, lips almost touching Simonās neck. His voice was hoarse from shouting when he whispered his desperate words against his shoulder. āItās never enough.ā
Sometimes, writing SUCKS
Guys, I'm suffering from something like a writer's block rn, and it's getting on my nerves so badly bc I'm working on a really beautiful story with loads of heartbreak (Wille's going through it!) and pain, but it's building soooo slowly it makes me go crazy!
So I post a tiny snippet (can't do more bc spoilers) just to let you know I'm not dead. Hope I can tie the loose ends soon and give it to you.
New fic sneak peek
āWanna know something funny?ā the blond boy asked, and his eyes were so heavy with pain, his gaze tore right into Simonās heart. āThe corset actually helps me breathe. When a panic attack is closing in on me, the tightness of the fish bones helps me breathe more calmly. I know it sounds stupid. But it feels a bit like Iām being hugged, like someoneās holding me, and my heart canāt jump out of my chest.ā Willeās voice trailed away, and Simon felt a hot sting in the back of his eyes at his honest words that were so small, so devastated. And he couldnāt even comprehend how lonely Wilhelm must feel, to an extent where he laced himself into a girdle to feel the pressure of SOMETHING against his body for comfort, when the weight of the world crashed down on him. So Simon swallowed the words he had just formed in his mind down and they cut through his gullet like a dry cracker. They didnāt make any sense now. āIām sorryā, he said instead, because there really wasnāt anything else to say, and it was the truth. He was sorry ā so sorry for Wilhelm. For the life he was leading, the pain he absorbed like a black hole for nothing to escape ā no emotion, no words, no joy. And his smile, that had seemed so ridiculously artificial to Simon that he had wanted to slap it off Wilhelmās face, suddenly made sense. It didnāt come from the heart ā the place where smiles should be born. It didnāt even come from the brain, like in those uncomfortable moments when you were required to smile without feeling it. Wilhelmās smile originated from the commanding mouths of those who had made it their purpose to kill his spark. His smile was an order, a task to fulfill, a command to execute. And Simon wondered when the last time might have been when Wilhelm had really felt it, had laughed out loud with uncontrollable joy, laughed so hard that his tummy hurt. And where exactly along the way this laughter had died.
I REALLY wanna publish this one soon. Got abt 40k words done. Only a few paragraphs to fit into the right places before I can put smth out for you. But mehhhhh, it's so HARD rn. Send candles.
š and āļø for the ask game pls
Thank youš š what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app? I don't use the notes app for fics anymore so it is something so mundane as the sum of how much money I needed to make sure was on a certain bank account. And a list called "Nystart" for things I sorta need and sorta wanna have. āļø what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best? Wow. What a difficut question. Right now I think I would love to read a non-canon au, with the change that when the time comes for Wille to renounce his title he has for some reason can't. Exactly why I don't know, maybe after something supernatural start to happen worldwide that just makes it to a not prioritized thing. Cause with his status he and Simon can go on a quest to help resolve what ever it might be. And I have several very vague head canons about Simon's ancestry carrying magic. So that is something that would play in to the story arc without us really knowing from the beginning.
As to who to write it.... Even more difficult. The Young Royals fandom don't really have that many authors that has dipped into that genre. We have some really good vampire ones thou, so maybe one of those. I think that @vvachillessongvv would create something really good. Or maybe @spennufall or @97ways that has written fantasy for us (I am sure that I am forgetting someone obvious here).
Writers truth or dare ask game
Wilmon fantasy trope is vastly underrepresented in the fandom š
Babies š„ŗš
Oh boy... š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ Whyyyy? Why are you doing this to me???
šššš¢
Hejo, I'm really intrigued by your WIPs and would want to know abt "Package", "French Fries" and "Front Desk". š
Hej! Thanks for asking š
"Package" I haven't written a ton of this one but it's a roommates to lovers smutty one shot. Simon opens a package by mistake thinking it's for him, but it's actually for his brand new roommate (Wille) and the contents are rather...improper. āŗļø
"Front Desk" Simon works the front desk of Wille's apartment building. Wille is in love with him, obviously, and makes a lot of excuses to visit the front desk. š
Hope to finish both of these soonish.
Ok, I want both! They sound so cutsieee. š¤©
