[youngroyals-events]

The first Young Royals Drabble Challenge is officially over and we want to thank you all so much for all your participation! We've had over 200 drabbles (!!!), it truly was a fest, and we couldn't be happier that you all embraced this with us!

For some news on our next event, the Young Royals Kinktober, prompt submission is now closed and we're aiming to post the prompts and guidelines within the next week.

Thank you again, and see you soon!

[purplehoodiesandclementines]

So... I'm not sure how this happened, and I know drabble week is technically over... But I kept thinking of you, @gulliblelemon, last night, and of the many beautiful gems you've gifted to us over the past week (despite announcing initially that you were "not like that"!). Some of them keep living in my heart, they are canon now.

So since I've recently discovered that writing fanfic for others is fun (and frankly the only way I feel brave enough to post anything), I wrote you this little thank you note. It's an expansion of one of my favorite scenes.

Thank you for being the spectacular human you are, and for being a wonderful friend. 💜

"Thanks for inviting me. I—uh, I had a great time." Running a hand through his hair, Wille glanced down before meeting Simon's eyes with a shy smile.

"Me too." Simon nodded, rolling his lips to stop the idiotic grin from overtaking his face.

"Good night, Simon."

"Good night... Wille."

Simon stared after him, a fond giggle bubbling up in his chest as Wille stepped backwards, stumbling slightly before turning to walk up to Forest Ridge.

Someone snorted behind Simon.

Rolling his eyes, he climbed back onto Rosh’s scooter.

"Shut up."

Ayub raised his hands.

"We didn't even say anything!”

"I know it's the last time (This won't be forever, so give me all you got)"

Simon was nervous when the Crown Prince invited himself to his hotel room, but when he blinked awake and saw Wilhelm shirtless, draped on the chaise and watching the sun peek over buildings, he felt light inside. 

"Good morning," he mumbled. 

Wilhelm - Wille - turned to him, smiling. "You look well rested."

Simon wanted to say something clever about how each part of his body felt wrecked, would never fit together the same way again, and he knew Wille was in similar shape.

"The sunrise is nice," Simon commented instead. It framed Wille's sharp features, casting his skin pink.

"It is."

I hope you enjoyed this anon! Not quite as angsty as the lyric you gave, but this is possibly my favorite Omar song and this is the vibe I get from it <3 (and they certainly gave each other all they got ;))

ty @youngroyals-events !

I know YRDC24 is technically (almost) over but I still have a few more coming <3

[cassyjones]

@youngroyals-events Prompt- "Here's another fact..." (she was feelings a little silly >_<)

"Here's another fact, did you know that, purple guy is William Afton?"

Simon stares at him with confusing and then realization hits.

"WILLIE AGAIN REALLY?"

"Why are you yelling at me..."

Willie looks down at him with kicked puppy eyes.

"Oh sorry baby, it's just that... YOU HAVE FREAKING RUINED SMOOCHING MOMENTS WITH FNAF FACTS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME"

"I'm sowy"

Willie again looks down at Simon with kicked puppy eyes.

"Bro at this point im just lowkey hungry"

"Really..?"

Willie looks down at him with a sly smirk.

"You know we should go to Freddy Fazebears Pizza Place"

Aim

For @manateia-seriallove, who asked for Wilmon in a fair. Written for YRDC2024 @youngroyals-events.

“Where next?” Simon asked as they exited the roller-coaster.

“Somewhere calme.” Wille took his hand while they walked along the amusement park. “My heart still hasn't recovered.”

Simon giggled. “Let's eat, then. Unless you think you're going to be sick.”

Wille just rolled his eyes. “Hot dogs?”

They got hot dogs and continued walking, both lost in memories.

“How about that?” Wille nodded in the direction of a small booth where people had to throw plastic balls through hoops, winning a prize if they managed it.

“Hm, I don't know. My aim isn't very good.”

“My shoulder begs to differ.”

"Used Textbook"

Drabble for YRDC2024 at @youngroyals-events

Prompt: Book

Emma hated used textbooks. Pages were always damaged or missing, or someone had scribbled all over the pages.   But apparently she was lucky this time. Her copy of Kris looked like new. However, when she checked the inside, a piece of paper fell out. She sighed. Thankfully, it was just a piece of paper and no doodles.  As much as she hated what previous owners left behind, she was still curious. She unfolded the paper. A frog prince and three goldfish looked back at her. Strange, but also kind of sweet. The drawing isn’t perfect, but also not too bad...

Not beta read.

For the drabbles!

Sarah

Reunion

Backup: Fear

Thanks for the request! You’re my very last drabble for this year’s challenge. :) Couldn’t resist doing reunion as a future saraugust drabble because one must create what one wants to see in the world. Enjoy!

Tagging @youngroyals-events since this event was their brainchild.

Close Harmonies (link to AO3)

In their twenties, Sara and August cross paths at Christmases and stray birthdays.

Sara works on the opposite coast and visits family when she can. August starts living his apology to Simon after some initial halting conversations.

When Sara turns thirty, a concert celebrates Simon’s choral compositions. Sara drives across Sweden to attend and discovers August in the audience.

“You don’t have to…” August starts when Sara asks.

“It’s alright. Sit with me.”

From the choir: an unguarded melody, weaving around dissonant chords, persisting toward change.

Sara sees tears glint at the corners of August’s eyes. She catches his hand.

[marvelousbadger]

'That's the best cookie I've ever had! Cafés in Stockholm are much better than in Bjärstad!' Simon exclaimed. Wille chuckled. 'Probably, but these are homemade. The meeting had to be cancelled so I had some free time before you arrived.'

Simon stopped chewing. 'What do you mean? How does a cancelled meeting lead to you requesting cookies?' Wille blinked at him. 'Requesting? Simon, I made these. I've been helping in the kitchens since I was little and everyone else was busy with official work.' Simon looked down at the half-eaten cookie in his hand. The next bite tasted even better.

Thank you to @youngroyals-events for arranging the drabble challenge!! I had such fun over the last week writing a few and even more logging on here and reading them all <3

I've posted mine over on AO3 as a little record of them :)

[sadhappylady]

My last post for Young Royals Drabble Challenge 2024 @youngroyals-events Thanks so much for organizing 😌💜

Fate

Sara turned her head at Wille’s shout.

She realised what was happening immediately. Had been waiting for this confrontation, actually. She stopped to watch as Simon hauled himself at August, while Wille tried to hold him back. August seemingly just stood there and accepted his fate.

She pondered going over, but couldn’t find it in herself.

Simon didn’t need her help. August didn’t deserve it. They had both made sure she had no place in their lives anymore. They could both fend for themselves, anyway. Simon had Wille on his side, dessutom.

She turned and walked towards the bus stop.

Chapter 5 of What we evoke in each other

[purplehoodiesandclementines]

Hello! <3 for the YR drabbles event, I challenge you to 41. Superpower 🦸🏼‍♂️🦸🏾 hope you are doing well! 💗

When I found this lovely ask in my inbox (thank you!), I thought, surely this was a mistake. Because why me?

But then I kept thinking of you, @skibasyndrome, and how you might be feeling this week. And since fanfic, to me, is the ultimate language of love, it made me come up with this little something, to remind you that you're amazing, and that you've got this. 💜

***

Simon groaned, letting his head sink onto the table.

"The thesis is due Friday, Wille! What if I can't fucking do it this time?"

A pair of arms wrapped around Simon's torso from behind, gently drawing him closer into his boyfriend's chest.

"Sure you can, love. You just need a break," Wille murmured against his temple.

Simon nuzzled into the soft warmth of Wille's neck. He inhaled deeply, feeling a sense of calm wash over him.

This was Wille's super power. Making Simon feel held. Making him feel seen. Making him feel. And always reminding him:

Things would be okay.

[saynomorefic]

Hii!!🩷 For the drabble challenge I was thinking about the following lyrics: "Life's not as cold when I'm in your arms". It's from the song "beat up car" by Henry Moodie. (I've been thinking about Wilmon everytime I listen to this song tbh)

Simon blew warm air on his hands. They lay on a makeshift palette in the back of Micke's old station wagon.

Wille grabbed the thermos of cocoa, shivering from exposure.

"You're shivering," Simon cooed, and Wille side eyed him as he drank.

"it's below zero, Simon," he teased. "Want some?" Simon nodded, but didn't move.

"You have to sit up to drink," Wille laughed.

"Too cold," Simon complained.

"Whatever could we do to warm up?" Wille grinned, stroking Simon's eyebrow.

"Hmm. I've got an idea." Simon stilled his hand and pulled him down, Wille's body blanketing him from the chill.

❄️❄️❄️

Thank you sm for this lovely prompt! I'd never heard this song before, and it's so good (and so Wilmon!)

Sorry it took me so long to get to it 😭 I just wanted to get it right ❣️

Ty @youngroyals-events !!

[andthatisnotfake]

"Please... Let me love you one last time. Then I'll go! And you will never have to see me again."

���Please... Let me love you one last time. Then I'll go! And you will never have to see me again.”

Simon scrunched his nose at the words from the character in the movie. Sure, the actor was hot, but the overacting was making him cringe. He was regretting allowing Sara to choose the movie. He wasn't a fan of romantic movies, and this one was terribly cliché.

He heard a small sniffle next to him and turned.

“You're seriously into this?”

Wille shrugged and laid his head on Simon's shoulder.

Simon kissed his soft hair. He much preferred real-life romance.

Hope you don't mind the direction I took this, anon. 🤭

"I've got you"

Drabble for YRDC2024 at @youngroyals-events

Prompt: Plushie

“You don’t want to tell me that you weren’t allowed to keep your childhood teddy, do you?” Simon looked at Wilhelm in complete horror and the previously good mood threatened to change. Wilhelm shrugged indifferently, but Simon saw the pain in his eyes. "It is how it is." Seething, Simon grabbed Wilhelm’s sleeve and dragged him to the nearest lottery booth. He was going to win his boyfriend the biggest plushie now, even if it was the last thing he did! How he hated the monarchy! Late at night they left the fair together with a huge, black stuffed cat.

Can also be found on ao3. Not beta read.

Vacation - (Stella x Fredrika)

Thank you for your request! I’ve never had a chance to write stedrika before. I thought about their New York trip and decided to have them interact with one of my favorite books by Nancy Garden, hope that’s okay.

Tagging @youngroyals-events because this drabble challenge was their brainchild.

Letters From Annie and Liza (link to AO3)

Read any novel in English this summer. An assignment from another teacher, before Hillerska. Fredrika chooses Annie on My Mind and wonders, later, why it made her chest ache.

Until Stella kisses her.

Fredrika rereads Annie and Liza’s love story en route to New York. A plan takes shape in her mind. A date, copied from the book. It’s the kind of sincerity neither she nor Stella easily expresses.

Her stomach tightens as they enter the Cloisters. What if…?

Then, standing before of the unicorn tapestries, Stella breathes out:

“…so beautiful.”

Maybe they can wear their hearts openly after all.

[hehehereliesmysanity]

Ex

Simon sits down with a loud sigh, but he sees the most gorgeous man ever who's sitting next to him. Maybe it's good that he decided to come after all.

"Bride or groom?" the stranger asks.

"Bride. We met in uni. You?"

"Groom. He was my ex."

"No way!"

"Yes, unfortunately." 

"Why do you even want to be here?" 

He shrugs. "Probably because I'm an idiot."

"I'm glad you're an idiot because I wouldn’t have met you otherwise." Simon smiles, holding out his hand. "Simon."

"Wille," he smiles back.

Simon doesn't let go of his hand. 

Not now or ever.

thanks a lot for the event, i had so much fun. @youngroyals-events
