#wilmon hc

[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)

[insiemes]

Wille and Simon treasure their Saturdays together. They try and stay with each other as often as possible, usually staying at the dorms to get more privacy. Lounging around watching shows, reading together, but Wille’s favourite is when Simon brings his guitar or keyboard and plays little jingles he made up, or snippets of songs he’s working on. Sometimes they’re sweet and soulful, but often times they’re silly and just Simon trying to make Wille giggle and smile

Tuesday #2

YR Drabble Week 2024. @youngroyals-events

Two strangers trading love notes in a coffee shop on Tuesdays. (ao3)

#1, #2

You got a different drink today. — Simon

I did. You are mysteriously lacking a book. — Wille

I have a different hobby to occupy my time, now unencumbered. — Simon

Yes, and you’re being so subtle about staring at me. — Wille

As if you’re any better. — Simon

You are beautiful, Simon. I simply cannot help but stare. — Wille

What’s the new drink? (Thank you. I hope you cannot see my blush.) — Simon

It’s a chai with brown sugar syrup. (I can. It’s cute.) — Wille

Hey, that’s what I get! — Simon

I know. I want to learn about the things you like. — Wille

[misfithive]

My headcanon is that Simon uses emojis because Sara is autistic and it helps us as tone indicators. He has gotten in the habit of using them and also wants Wille to know he is being playful

[hehehereliesmysanity]

think about wilmon meeting in kindergarten and a five-year-old wille stealing one of kristina's rings and proposing to simon

think about Linda thinking it is a paper ring when Simon came back from kindergarten and told her wille proposed and he said yes

think about Linda calling Krissy to give the ring back after seeing it is a real diamond ring and laughing about it together

think about Krissy giving the ring back to wille when he wants to propose for real in the future when they are adults

think about linda telling this story on their wedding and everyone laughing but wilmon being embarrassed and shy but happy and giddy because this is always bound to happen

[unfortunate17]

i agree with you about being frustrated with how often this fandom has top/bottom discussions but its a pretty common talking point in most fandoms so YR isn’t special for that

No I totally agree with you that it’s a common topic of discussion in a lot of fandoms, but there’s a particular way we have it in this fandom that really grinds my gears.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t care if you hc Wilmon to be vers or if you think Wille tops or Simon tops or whatever - it’s the justification and reasoning that I’m seeing behind these headcanons that I find deeply irritating and, frankly, insulting and kind of homophobic.

This is going to get long so forgive me.

1. I’ve seen so many posts talk about how the show is “brave” and “subversive” by having Wille go down on Simon or potentially bottom, but like - what the hell are we even talking about? In what world is it subversive to show a queer character having queer sex?? What are we subverting?? This show has never shown us anything with its intimate scenes other than two guys that are deeply in love and really horny for eachother and I hate that we keep bringing this shit up!!!

2. I’ve also seen people say that it was very important for us to see Wille moving to go down on Simon in the tape in S1 because it’s “more damning evidence that he’s queer” and otherwise Wille could’ve just said he was horny and desperate but he was actually imagining he was with a girl in his denial statement. But be so fucking forreal, in what world is that a thing he could argue in an official statement to the press? He’d be the laughing stock of the world.

Wilhelm isn’t more or less gay because he went down on Simon vs the other way around. He’d still be having queer sex because he’s having sex with another guy. Arguing that the framing here is for anything other than a plot device so Wille’s face wouldn’t be visible to set up the denial is actually kind of ridiculous.

As someone very smart on here said, “I’m sorry that you apparently have a tier list of sex acts ranging from “kinda straight” to “Gaylord” 😭😭 get well soon, couldn’t be me.”

Imagine for one second Simon was the one giving Wille head? Would you have criticized the show for that?? And WHY?!

3. Next: saying that Wilmon’s relationship is “equal” because you think they’re vers is…a take and a half lmao. What the fuck does being vers have to do with a relationship being equal?? Why are we assigning arbitrary hierarchies to sexual preferences??? Why are we implying that topping and bottoming are somehow not equal and you have to carefully balance both, when, ideally, it’s just whatever the fuck everyone is into???

Wille isn’t selfish for topping. Simon isn’t sacrificing anything by bottoming. They’re fucking because they’re in love and they want to 😭

TLDR: Wille doesn’t suck Simon’s dick for class liberation. Simon riding Wille isn’t a commentary on how he’s “girl-coded.” It’s just sex, leave them alone to have a good time and stop assigning agendas to queer sex.

I need s3 to feature a party scene with Wille joining some drinking games but only filling his glass with soda and then when the boys start shooing and booing at him he just laughs and goes "shut up, I promised my bf I wouldn't get drunk tonight"

[mymitochondriaforpresident]

I always thought it was interesting that Wille was like “I want you to hold me” but then he’s the one holding Simon. He definitely meant “I want you to hold my heart.”

And Simon did.

Can you stay until I fall asleep? 💕

[daylightaftertherain]

hc that a couple of years after wilmon are out there's a collection of paparazzi pictures of simon walking around in expensive hoodies he absolutely could not have afforded by himself

[misfithive]

What I think Simon likes about Wille

I have seen some discussions about “why Simon even like Wille” (😔☹️💔) both here and elsewhere. I'm bored sooooo here is my list of what I think! I admit when I first watched I used to wonder sometimes why Simon liked him, mostly bc the back and forth hot and cold of season 1 could understandably be exhausting however once i thought about it I came up with many things. (some are hc ish ) :) I also think that if you love wilmon's relationship then you can see what they see in eachother. Two people (Wilmon) created that dynamic together both of them are loving/open/gentle with each other it is deeper than " i like that he sings and he is pretty"- they like how the other person makes them feel which is different I think than what is usually portrayed in teen relationships. People focus too much on their fights/angst sometimes and not their nice moments I think the good outweighs the bad. Also why i believe in endgame bc they have something deep and special.

1. I think Simon thinks Wille is adorable in a dorky way or finds him endearing. When Wille dropped the utensil after their first real convo Simon was blushing and giggling

2. Wille actively seeks him out a lot and tries to help Simon when he can/ When someone is giving you that kind of attention it is flattering and shows how kind Wille is (the tip about tutoring, the rowing tips, the song on the piano). Thats a quality someone would find attractive

3. Similarly when they are together Wille’s attention and energy is solely focused on him / Wille smiling at him adoringly all the time. I think that would make anyone feel special and especially if you are like Simon and spend a lot of energy caring for/thinking about other people

4. Wille is generally very gentle with Simon which is beautiful and also imagine someone being that gentle with u and holding u like that im sure u would fall in love too lmfao even tho simon is asleep I think he felt it and this isnt the only example I just like the picture hehe

5. Wille wears his heart on his sleeve. Simon is more guarded with his feelings i think he could drawn to how open/expressive/ softhearted Wille is with him. “I didn't want to lose you” “you are beautiful” etc

6. Wille makes him sandwiches asks him how he is doing a lot etc sorry but no boys were making me sandwiches as a teenager a lot of small things like this are still a big deal

7. Wille is a prince and he could be a total arrogant a** hole like everyone else at that school and no one would think twice but he is not. It takes a certain type of person to actively not be like that when u are born into that level of privilege and everyone will let you get away with whatever. I think Simon likes that Wille is different than than the other people at school who ignore him and treat him bad.

8. Simon feels safe around Wille (maybe with the exception of the music room scene) but they have a safe space together its a strong contrast to the dynamic with marcus and i think everything with marcus serves to highlight how special the dynamic is with Wille.

9. Wille gives good hugs

10. Wille is nice to Linda and tries to make her feel included Simon thought that was cute (it was very cute)

11. They can laugh together and see how silly (ridiculous) august/some of the antics of the other boys are

12. I could go on okay but love is not always rational and cant be contained in a list, they are soulmates and thats that!!!!!!!!!

//Adding that i think Omar said in an interview that despite what Simon says in the locker room he thinks Simon likes that Wille accepts him for who he is. But if anyone can find the clip pls share I dont wanna misquote him! //

[manateia-seriallove]

In the futur, wherever they live, there's always a piano, often simon is playing while wille is doing something else or out, and when wille enters the room and see the love of his life playing, he is always mesmerized by his luck to have him.

Then he approach simon from behind put his hands on simon's shoulder, kiss his curls and massage him a little, before sitting next to him and play piano with simon who always end up singing.

[sflow-er]

You ask and shall receive

Question 1 till 21 please 😇😇😇

(Aka: pick the questions you actually want to answer 😂)

Thank you, friend, for this carte blanche!! 😂

I saved it for last because I really am going to answer all the ones I want to answer but haven't yet. Also, I can use it to link all my previous answers! Yay!

I'm putting a cut here because this got ridiculously long (as you can probably imagine).

1. Favorite secondary character

As 'secondary character' was used in this ask game to cover all non-Wilmon characters, I'm going to make a top four:

August because he is, to quote my answer to 21, "easily one of the best-written and best-acted characters in the show. It's rare to see an antagonist with such deep, complex emotions of his own, and casting a sweetheart like Malte to play him was an incredibly successful choice." Personally, I relate pretty hard to his perfectionism, and I also can't help connecting some other stuff about him to someone I know.

[Obligatory disclaimer that this doesn't mean I condone the things he did very wrong.]

Sara because her arc is one of my favourite things in the show and Frida's performance is phenomenal. As with August, I also have a personal point of reference: I too was bullied all through secondary school, and while my experiences weren't as extreme as Sara's, they did leave deep scars and a fundamental feeling of "nobody likes me for real and they never will." So yeah, I do relate to her quite a bit despite not being ND myself.

Henry because he was my inspiration to start writing again after more than ten years. I've always had a tendency to fixate on background characters, and S1 Henry was an intriguing mix of things that felt very foreign to me (his background and political opinions) and things that really appealed to me (his rudeness to Simon vs. kindness to Wille, and of course the vibe that inspired me to read him as ace). I do also enjoy him in the later canon where he is more of a funny mess, but yeah, it's definitely his S1 self I hold the most dear. Also, see everything I wrote about him and Simon here!

And finally, I also want to mention Ayub because he is just a very sweet guy whose friendship with Simon I really enjoy (he does make some mistakes, e.g. by pushing the Marcus rebound, but don't we all). I don't necessarily gush about him much, but I do like him very much. Even tried to write fic from his POV once.

2. Favorite secondary romantic and/or sexual pairing

Out of the canon pairings, Sargust. Their chemistry is amazing, and I love that their romance is absolutely integral to both their character arcs and the show as a whole. I do think they had to stay broken up in S3, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't ship them. I hope they get a second chance later in life when August has grown as a person and things between him and Simon have been resolved as well.

Out of the non-canon (or semi-canon) pairings, I'd say Walty, but I also really enjoy them as a platonic or queerplatonic pair. My ace hc of Henry is strong enough that I don't actually read many fics where they are both allo (although I do have a couple of faves, e.g. Change It And Say which is on my fic rec list linked under question 18).

3. Favorite platonic friendship

Answered here.

4. Favorite triad or polyship

Sorry, I don't really have any thoughts on this! I have enjoyed reading others' answers though.

5. Favorite familial relationship

Answered here.

6. Character(s) you have ace, aro, or queerplatonic headcanons for

To start this off, I want to say I'm really coming around to @bluedalahorse's aroallo Fredrika! Her occasionally rosy and perpetually normative ideas of romance certainly do seem very "this is romance, right?" rather than something she has personally experienced.

But as you know... Ace Henry is the hill on which I will gladly lay down my life. It started back in S1, when it felt like everyone else saw sexual attraction from him towards Stella in the exam scene, and I just couldn't. I guess that just sparked something in me and inspired me to put him under an ace lens haha.

I used to think it was just for my own fics, but then when S2 came out, all I could see was more "proof" (most notably, his very "yikes I forgot that hookups were a thing" reaction to Wille and Felice, as well as his fed-up response to Vincent's "advice"). The poor guy just wanted to live his best dorm life and partake in silly traditions to egg Sprucewood and write cringey Valentine's letters, and everyone around him kept making it about sex for some reason.

[Arospec sidebar: Also, his question on how the protagonist in Kris can be in love with someone she doesn't know can easily be twisted into a rather demi thing to say. I sometimes think demiromantic ace would suit him well.]

And yes, I'm aware that Henry implies that he's straight in S3, but that's because a) he hasn't figured himself out yet or b) he's just saying it to mess with the teacher without actually meaning to imply anything. (Or both. This is messy post-S1 Henry so it's probably both.)

7. Character you didn’t initially like/love but have now warmed up to

Also answered here.

8. Pairing you didn’t initially like/love but have now warmed up to

This is a tough one because I can like almost any pairing if it makes sense in a specific fic, but that doesn't mean I'm going to like them in every context.

Maybe Stedrika? I never disliked them as a couple, but I did dislike them as individuals and wasn't super interested in their romance when it was introduced in S2. I do like them a lot more now that I've warmed up to Stella. Although I still think it would be more interesting if they broke up in uni and had to get back to being friends so... Yeah, this is a tough one.

9. Favorite non-Edmar actor

Malte, Frida, and Pernilla. They give so much depth and allow us to understand these complex characters, even when they make bad decisions. August, Sara, and Kristina are all very challenging roles, and the actors would have deserved to win some awards for how amazingly they embodied all their different sides.

10. Favorite s1 scene centered on a secondary character

My very favourite one is August's talk with his mother on Parents' Day. There's so much meaning loaded into every line (words and delivery) and every expression. Parents' Day as a whole was when August really clicked into place for me on my first watch, but his altercation with Louise was the crowning moment. It was also a major inspiration for how I wrote his messed-up family situation in Årnäs, February 2016.

My runner-up is the scene where Smysan tries to force Felice into the Lucia dress. It makes me so fucking mad and uncomfortable on every watch.

11. Favorite s2 scene centered on a secondary character

Answered here.

12. Favorite s3 scene centered on a secondary character

It's impossible for me to name a single favourite - both because I haven't rewatched S3 much and because there are so many amazing scenes centred on both Sara and August! But my top five (not necessarily in this order) would be 1) Sara and Micke in the car and the subsequent talk with August, 2) August reading his first-year letter to Sara, 3) August and Nils talking about their initiation, 4) Sara's driving exam, and 5) August breaking down at the table and Nils and Vincent comforting him. These are all stellar scenes that tell us so much about the characters involved and their relationships.

13. Secondary character you think should have had more screentime

Answered here.

14. Any ships (crackships included) involving Simon or Wilhelm that break up Wilmon? We won’t tell!

This is also a question I don't really have an answer to. I guess maybe Simon/Ayub as others had made very compelling cases for it, but I just love their friendship so much that I don't know if I could truly get behind a romantic take.

15. Adult character whose teenage backstory would make the best spin-off series

Answered here.

16. A song that reminds you of a secondary character or pairing

Answered here.

17. Secondary character or pairing that needs more fanart

All of them!! There are far too few pieces of fanart centred on characters other than Wilmon.

18. Favorite fic centered on a secondary character or pairing

Answered here. My number one favourite is @bluedalahorse's August fic, Swell the Numbers.

19. Shout out a fanfic author for their writing of a secondary character (or characters) in a subplot

Here, I must admit that I haven't read too many fics with subplots focused on the secondary characters. That's because most of those are multi-chapter Wilmon fics, which I haven't read very many of in the last few years. I did read more of them in my early days in the fandom, but I don't think there were any such subplots in those fics that really stuck with me.

However, I did very much enjoy your take on Henry in the dark vampire fic, @willedeservesbetter! His friendship with Simon was wonderful, perhaps my favourite dynamic in the entire fic. His characterisation was also very fitting for the fic, and it really felt like you let him be a character in his own right instead of just Wille's coven member/Simon's friend.

20. Dream fanfic about a secondary character and pairing that you’d love to read but don’t want to write yourself

Answered here.

21. Most underrated character/ship/actor overall

Answered here.

Phew, that was all of them! This was so much fun, thank you again for giving me this opportunity to ramble.

[thegaycat]

young royals season 3 wishlist <3

bc i am too excited for s3 and need to collect my thoughts 🥞 ok some of the thoughts are not mine but i agreed and put them on my list anyway :)

and also i 100% wander off topic but its okay ive decided. okay lets go

wille peeling an orange for simon while studying (@littlebabywille said it first)

wille listening to simon singing and playing to the piano (like marcus did in s2ep1 except with consent bc sneaking up on people in their own room is not cool esp if you dont even know them <3<3) (@irenes-diary said that first)

simon singing and wille playing the piano 👀 (@rndm-fandoms)

a third ELIAS song, maybe about true love or something

on the topic of true love, wilmon endgame please??? that will happen right?? she wont keep them apart? if wilmon is not endgame it better still be a happy ending

seeing studenten, august and nils and vincent and the third years graduating epic hillerska style

the queen getting a better understanding of simon and wilhelms relationship

scenes with her and simon, maybe awkward but with possibility of a better relationship in the future??

kristina trying to be a better mom

simon allowing himself to be vunerable and sadfeely, and letting wille comfort him

more rosh and ayub bc i love them <3<3

some erik processing maybe .....

a glimpse of how felice and her mother's relationship is going, how is she taking it that felice is rebelling against her

i wanna know what happened to russeau!! like does august sell it back somehow? does he keep it at Årnäs or maybe at the Hillerska stables? does Sara accept it? bc it is still her horse like emotionally? she must realise that even tho its a (kinda desperate) gift from august the horse will have the best life with her at Hillerska

okay another yr3 wish is for fredrika to realise that stella is in love with her and maybe also realise that it is mutual??? lesbians yes please :)

also more henry development and also him being funny. maybe some more walty crumbs too

summer fits :)

vincent being an asshole because it is so fucking funny like the way he says things <3 he's a bully but its funny it. hes so tired of the rowing team being incompetent. <3

Also someone mentioned his necklace and i dont realistically think we will get a background for that but the little sister hc is very cute and i like it

more of these new queer side characters being queer bc casual representation is always good and nice and makes little bi me very happy

also on the topic of bi, wilhelm remaining unlabelled because i think he is, and also it is so important to show that it is okay to be unlabelled <3 :)

also the choir singing in church again

and wille listening happily and also staring at simon as usual

ooh maybe the spotify extra verse of simons song is written in season 3 👀

i am worried about the police and drugs and sara and the video buttttt maybe all this could bring back micke and also we can see more of the erikson family

how the hell are simon and sara going to live in the same house

linda being a good mom and wille and simon hanging out with her maybe like in s1e6 playing games or just eating dinner or something

just .. wille in simons home

and simon in willes home <3<3

rowing on the actual lake and someone falling into the water bc that would be very funny and i need that actually

some sort of end to august like maybe therapy or jail

most of all i just want simon and wilhelm to actually be a couple and go trough all the shit coming their way together

[groenendaelfic]

Hello!! I am absolutely loving your post-s2 exploration it is so delightful and real and I am just loving it!! One HC I have had for ages that I just don’t see enough of is that realistically Wille probably would be fluent in multiple languages…. A working knowledge minimum of Spanish is highly likely for most European royals and I just think that would be so interesting to explore!!! Like the class differences between speaking multiple languages is so major (and maybe this HC is just completely self service as someone who was always made fun of for speaking a different language at home and thus I’m projecting onto Simon) and anyway just something I have been thinking about extra prompted from your writing …… love you work so much!!

thank you for you lovely words! I am delighted to tell you that Wille speaking some Spanish was not just a throwaway comment at the beginning of the fic.

I, too, am very sure that Wille speaks more than just Swedish and the compulsory English he has to learn in school.

For one I like the idea that Ludvig is not Swedish by birth, but foreign nobility (which considering Kristina's generation makes a lot of sense despite her having children quite late), and that because of that Erik and Wilhelm were raised bilingual just like the irl children of the Swedish King were. I haven't decided which yet--Danish, German or Norwegian seem like lazy options but they kinda make the most sense--but yes. Bilingual Wille ftw. Additionally I think it's a given that most (continental) European nobility speaks French and German either fluently or well enough depending. BeNeLux, MC and FL obviously, but also the rest.

I'm not sure I'd say a working knowledge of Spanish is highly likely for most European royals (or Europeans in general, Spanish being offered as a third language has only become a thing in maybe the last decade or two in most European countries I'm familiar with), but it's also not unlikely, and Wille speaking Spanish (and potentially more but so far I only have concrete plans for Spanish) will definitely be explored in future chapters, because just like you I love the idea.

Especially because the Spanish Wille learned differs drastically from the one Simon speaks at home, and not just when it comes to pronunciation, and as a linguist by trade (although admittedly the only Romance language I speak is, like, six years of school French which doesn't count) I find that intiguing and delightful, and it'll make for hilarious moments (spoiler) during Easter and the Summer holidays (because Wilmon only going to Solliden is boring).

[mymitochondriaforpresident]

“I like Bjärstad, but I don’t want to live here forever.”

He is incredible.

Simon is the hardest working student at Hillerska, and you can’t convince me otherwise!🤺 🤺
