On his first day of school, Wilhelm came home and told her his string didn't lead to Felice. Kristina had sighed and patted his hair, saying there were still plenty of girls that could be his soulmate. There are a lot of noble European families after all, and plenty more upper-class ones. He'd meet her someday.

His soulmate's name is Simon.

So had a dress up party…

It's almost 11 pm but unfortunately I have no headcanon post ideas tonight so instead y'all get this bit I just wrote in the vamp au

I swear there's no actual bloodplay involved, it's just lipstick and hickies. Wille simply has a problem keeping his fangs to himself and Simon was like, "well if you're gonna mark me up, I want to mark you up" and he just had to be creative about it. I am trying to keep this fic somewhat PG, even if I might be failing a little itty bit at it.

“Should I tell you that when we're apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I've just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? That I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?” ― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

Simon being a disaster gay only when Wille is near

Simon: I am So Fucking Gay Holy Shit

SERIES

1. in this kiss, i'll change your bore for my bliss by wyoheartsmusic <@prince-simon>

i ask nothing of you (T, 43900 words, post canon fix-it fic, oh my god they were roomates, kinda)

Five months after the sex tape scandal, the Hillerska rowing team is going on an away trip for the Nationals. When they get to their hotel, it turns out there’s been a mix-up with the rooms and Simon didn’t get assigned a room. Despite things still being awkward between them, Wilhelm offers that Simon stay in his room with him.

that's my opportunity to feel brave (WIP) (T, 4203 words, 1/3 chapters, wille be like oh so this is what its like to have friends, which is adorably hilarious and a little sad at the same time)

After Wilhelm's coming out, he learns what it means to have people in his life who support him unconditionally 2. as the years fly by by but_atleast_i_have_an_iced_coffee

thirty eight (T, 2474 words, pre-canon, canon, and post-canon erik always knew fic + doesn't die. i adore it)

A ten year old Erik watches as Wilhelm cries.

Their nanny telling him that it’s not fair to eat the carrots but not the broccoli is the source of his tears. To a ten year old crown prince who is being raised to carry a nation, he thinks it’s a stupid thing to be upset over.

Sometimes things are unfair, that’s why you try to make it better.

It’s what he tells himself, anyway. It makes the idea of being king just a little bit better.

But when he watches Wilhelm’s small hands clench into fists as he sniffles, trying to get his eyes to dry, Erik decides that maybe little Wille doesn’t need to be so strong.

heaven (T, 2795 words, re-write of thirty eight from wille's pov)

Wilhelm is sixteen and confused.

So fucking confused.

He’s not gay.

He’s not gay.

home (T, 1941 words, you know the taylor swift lyric that goes like 'and he feels like home' from long story short? that.)

Simon is sixteen when he meets Wilhelm.

If he’s being honest, he first thinks that he’s a privileged asshole.

But as time goes on, he slowly peels the masks off of Wilhelm.

Royalty. Spare prince. Student. Son. Brother. Until it’s just Wilhelm left.

And Wilhelm does the same to him.

3. ✨Prince Simon Cinematic Universe ✨ by TheBoyWhoWalksInTheLight , wyoheartsmusic <@aro-of-artemis> <@prince-simon>

i don't feel like our love is brand new (WIP) (E, 112815 words, 6/10 chapters, oh my god prince simon what more could you want from life)

“Your Royal Highness, it’s nice to meet you.” Being addressed in Swedish by a melodious voice suddenly startled Wilhelm’s brain into awareness. The first thing that Wilhelm noticed about the man in front of him were the sharp cheekbones and beautiful bronze skin. Then he met deep brown eyes filled with mirth. Crown Prince Simon of Spain, his brain helpfully supplied when usually, it was embarrassingly shit when it came to names. But this name- well, of course he’d remember the world’s first out and proud gay Crown Prince. Or: Wilhelm is a queer mess and Simon is a little shit who's ready to win the Swedish prince's heart.

And the fire bright (let it blaze alright) (T, 1941 words, missing scene from the main fic)

Wille's memory of the night of Erik's wedding is hazy. All he knows is that Simon got him safely to bed.

[EDIT: more parts have been added to this series !!]

4. Firsts (Erik Lives Universe) by cmere <@omgcmere>

Keep Me Company (T, 2741 words, pure floof. Agnes-worthy floof. we love it.)

The halls are silent, only the ghosts of Wille's forefathers left to judge him.

And let them fucking judge him.

He wants this, so badly it feels like his heart might crack open from it. He's been looking for this—the same feeling that had him trying to get lost in the woods with Erik as a kid, trying to find a connection with someone unfamiliar in the public school, trying to drown himself in a bottle until he forgot who he was. Instead he found it here, the one place he never wanted to be. In a chapel, in a boy, in a song.

Where He Belongs (T, 6010 words, wille : 'babe my parents aren't home come over' except his home is the fucking palace lmao)

It's always like this between them—despite all the complex pressures Wille's facing that only shed layers of different but related pressures onto Simon, it feels so easy when it's just the two of them, when they can exhale fully and say everything that's on their minds. Simon has seen Wille bound up tight with anxiety, biting his lips and rubbing his collarbone; he's held him more than once as Wille tried to gasp out words and struggled for air. The contrast now is stark, his limbs loose and his laughs coming easy.

Wilhelm invites Simon to spend the night alone with him at the royal palace for New Year's Eve.

5. It's Like A Multicolored Snapshot (stuck in my brain) by isnt_that_wizard

When I Said I Wanted You to Get Along (this isn't what i meant) (T, 27344 words, 7 chapters, Erik Lives era, 5+1 fic)

After hearing that their parents weren't bothering to show up for Parents' Day, Erik comes in their place. The following results are that he never gets in the car crash, August doesn't stay at school that weekend, and Wille gets absolutely tortured as his brother and boyfriend decide to become best friends.

Throw the Script Out the Window (let's start something new) (T, 4417 words, Erik Lives era, Coming Out fic)

Wille had practiced the statement so many times it was engraved in his brain. He had stayed up hours into the night writing it with Erik, meeting with every single public relations staff member, and repeated it to himself under his breath at any given moment. It was entirely memorized.

He had barely said a single word of it.

Maybe a few sentences.

Wille was sure that the press secretary was somewhere in another room, crying and turning in her resignation.

Life Was Stringing Me Along (then you came) (T, 5321 words, Erik Lives era, Simon meets the parents who happen to be the fucking Queen and Prince Consort)

"Are you okay?" Wille whispered, quietly so that Erik wouldn't be able to hear him from where the Crown Prince was sitting in an overly ornate chair.

Simon smiled a little bit at the question, then gave a slow, hesitant nod.

Wille gave a little- and absolutely not adorable, shut up- snort, and said, "Liar."

Simon rolled his eyes, but his smile grew a bit wider. "Oh, shut it, Wille. Like you weren't a nervous wreck the first time you came over to my house for dinner."

Wille laughed, "I never said I wasn't."

Baby, You're The Cure (so let me close to you) (T, 8069 words, 5+1 fic, sick simon omg my heart)

When Simon shows up sick to school one day, Wilhelm discovers that not only is his boyfriend completely terrible at admitting that he's sick, but he also craves physical touch and cuddles like no one's business. Wille is more than willing to provide said affections, but life would be a hell of a lot easier if Simon would just accept the fact that he was ill.

or

Five Times Simon Clung to Wille While He's Sick, and One Time Wille Does The Same Thing

6. Red, White and Young Royal Blue by toffeelemon <@toffeelemon>

blood is thicker than water (G, 3114 words, pre-canon)

Crown Prince Erik has always known his baby brother is a bit different. He would take on the world before he lets hurt get to Wille.

royal pains (G, 12625 words, Henry and Wilhelm talk about boys <3 )

‘Hey cousin, I know this is super out of the blue, but now that Erik is gone, I literally have no one else to talk to. Is it a wild idea if I come visit you in England for Christmas? I could use a vacation’

Wilhelm visits his cousin Prince Henry in England for Christmas for gay guidance. That's it.

worst kept secret in history (G, 9970 words, getting back together fic ft. simon taking care of himself we love that)

They have a nice thing going on, ever since school resumed in the new year. Wilhelm had gone up to Simon in the middle of the corridor on the first day back, held his hand in front of everyone, and it all went from there. Simon doesn’t want to be a secret, so Wilhelm bites down on his anxiety and just lets things happen, onlookers or not. He is terrible at keeping secrets anyway.

or, Wilhelm is a chaotic anxious queer who just wants to win his boy back

Alex, ¡ayúdame! (M, 14087 words, Wille gets the talk from the FSOTUS)

Alex Claremont-Diaz did say Wilhelm could go to him for anything.

Until Wilhelm momentarily wishes he lived in a universe where he was straight and didn’t have to have in depth discussions about anal sex with the First Son of the United States, who weirdly is one of the queer men that Wilhelm trusts the most.

or, how Alex Claremont-Diaz became Wilhelm and Simon’s agony aunt

take my heart and hit the back (M, 6062 words, alt. title: the FSOTUS knows way too much about his cousin-in-law's sex life)

Simon has a weird relationship dynamic with Alex Claremont-Diaz. They met in real life once during New Year’s, two months ago, when the First Son of the United States extended Wilhelm’s invite to the White House to Simon, and now Alex likes to interact with Simon’s Instagram posts and stories, like telling him how his hickey is way too obvious from his Instagram story. Since Alex is already so invested in Simon and Wilhelm's sex life, Simon might as well ask - 'So, are you a top? Do you have any tips?'

or; Simon tops for the first time

The Life of Simon and Wilhelm, the Most Famous Gay Couple in Sweden (G, 29092 words, 8 chapters, future fic)

Simon Vasquez (LGBTQ activist and charity-gig-pop-star-extraordinaire), and his boyfriend, Wilhelm (formerly 'of Sweden'), are known for their fiercely protected private life - whilst being firmly in Generation Z and generously flaunting their relationship on Wilhelm's public Instagram account, the young couple has never appeared in media engagements, where they are not in control of the portrayal of their own image.

On a groundbreaking occasion, Simon and Wilhelm are sharing a week of their life, unfiltered, in a filmed extended interview, revealing many previously unknown opinions and details about their lives. Curiously, the host of such a groundbreaking interview is an unknown amateur journalist - a teenager in high school in Stockholm, whose biggest credit to her name is representing the Queer Straight Alliance of her school.

7. Missing Moments by embracedthevoid <@ungaroyals> (Varying rating, 29K+ words, 15+ works, all brilliant)

A collection of beautifully written and thought out missing moments from the series, AND the author takes requests for the series as well. Dare I say YR fic god?

---> If the authors are seeing this, thank you for writing awesome fic !! <---

Young Royals Fav Fanfic Reccs pt.1

ONESHOTS

let's start a revolution by huojuvuus (G, 972 words, ep 6 fix-it fic)

“The Crown Prince says, ‘It is me in the video’,” Ayub reads out loud, and Simon snatches the phone off his hands.

an opalescent future by ASkyOfKai (G, 2072 words, Madison and Simon friendship goals, with a side of wilmon) <@purplehoodiesimon>

"What do they say?" Simon asks, frowning at the cross of 6 stones. The runes are painted in gold on an opalescent stone, and they shimmer in the candlelight as he tries to remember the meanings of each one.

"This is the cross spread," Madison says, looking at them. "You start with this one." She studies for them a second, then looks up at him, smiling. "You asked about Wille, didn't you?"

grin by but_atleast_i_have_an_iced_coffee (T, 2081 words, pov you have to tell your almost dead brother you're queer ft. smidge of angst)

It’s more than a miracle when Erik makes it out of his coma. He’d essentially been waiting to die, the doctors had said. The only reason they hadn’t cut the life support was that one in a million chance, and that, well, they could afford to keep it going.

There's just one problem. Erik has no idea about the sex scandal, no idea about Simon, and no idea that Wilhelm isn't entirely straight.

Meteor Shower by LilacWithThorns (T, 2717 words, Bjärstad fluff. That's it.)

Wilhelm goes to spend the weekend with Simon in Bjärstad, and it ends up being what he needed in just about every way.

Alternative title, What if Erik Didn't Die: the Fic™

Kiss me (like you wanna be loved) by TheBoyWhoWalksInTheLight (M, 2890 words, aged-up strangers to lovers)<@aro-of-artemis>

He stumbled but a hand shot out to steady him at the waist.

And then. A warm chuckle. A teasing but kind voice. "Falling for me already?" Simon is working as a waiter at a royal masquerade ball. Wilhelm is smitten with him from the get go.

eyes full of stars by buttercupkisses (G, 3011 words, erik and simon friendship, rip wille <3)

Then he felt a pair of arms snake around his torso and a head landed on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Erik standing behind him looking far too pleased with himself.

“Erik, what are you doing here?” He asked in shock.

OR, Erik decides to surprise Wilhelm at Parents' Weekend and he inevitably meets Simon.

unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home by Yubnubforhire (T, 5664 words, post canon fix-it fic)

In the aftermath of Wilhelm’s statement, he finds himself bereft of his entire support system: Erik is dead, Simon dumped him, and August betrayed him in the worst possible way. He struggles to cope with the trauma of what he went through, while Simon realizes he can’t just switch off his feelings.

Or: Simon decides to be there for Wilhelm, and maybe that makes all the difference.

and they were roommates by toffeelemon (M, 28525 words, the title says it all) <@toffeelemon>

Simon doesn’t know how exactly he became the biggest walking cliché and developed a super gay crush on his probably straight roommate, especially when said roommate happens to be the Prince of Sweden, but here he is.

p.s. check out their 'friends best' fic only fools rush in, wherein it was not Wille in the video, rumors are spread because sex tapes, but they fall in love anyway <3

Note: I have only recced on fic per author, but if you liked a certain author's fic, be sure to check the rest of them out, it'll be perfect, i promise.
