please don’t be in love with someone else

“I think Simon got a boyfriend,” Wilhelm whines, hands in his hair as if he just announced his dog has died.

“And that’s a crisis because -“ Walter drawls, making pointed eye contact with Henry to communicate what they have gossiped about extensively in private. Because Wilhelm is maybe a little more than obsessed with Simon.

Wille really hates his best friend's new boyfriend, that's all. He enlists all their friends to break them up. Because he's a good friend, of course.

happy 2nd birthday to @prince-simon ’s beloved xmas fic not if it’s you and merry christmas to all who celebrate ❤️💚🩵

here’s jakob’s letter to santa a year after canon as a treat:

alt text below cut:

Dear Santa

Hello! I hope you and the Elves and the Reindeers are not working too hard this CHRISTMAS!

My name is JAKOB. I am FIVE years old.

I am writing this letter to tell you how I have been very nice this year. Simon says so!

I am learning English and Spanish at school. I also made three friends this year.

Simon and I made cookies for you. They are very YUMMY! The cookies are next to the most beautiful Christmas tree in this house. I chose it! By myself!

For CHRISTMAS I would like to have a jellyfish that I can keep at home. If that is too hard, clownfish is okay too. Pappa says I can have fish when I am SIX years old but I cannot wait that long!

When you are flying past Heaven on your sleigh, can you say Hi to my Mamma pretty please? I miss her very much. Please tell her that I have been a VERY GOOD BOY! And I want to give her lots of hugs and kisses!

Can you also make Simon live with us again? I think that will be a very good present for my Pappa too. Pappa says that Simon cannot live with us anymore because Simon has a JOB and also that Simon and Pappa are boy-friend and boy-friend.

Why not? Boy-friend and boy-friend should live together. I hope Simon stays FOREVER!

I also want a brother or sister. But I know that takes time so it doesn’t have to be this Christmas.

THANK YOU SANTA !!!

Lots of love, JAKOB

A beard suits Wilhelm, Simon realises.

It's a light beard, a dusting or maybe a shadow brushing his jaw. His hair is longer now than what it was when they were teenagers. From this distance, he notices how Wilhelm's shoulders have broadened, how he fills up the suit jacket in a way he never could have eighteen years ago.

Wilhelm throws his head back in laughter. Simon can't hear it from across the room - he doesn't think stepping forward is a good idea- but he wonders if Wilhelm sounds like sixteen-year old Wille. The boy with ridiculously expensive sweaters, whose words were often tangled on his tongue. The boy who used to look at Simon like he was the answer to every question, who used to kiss him like he was tasting sunlight.

Simon wonders and wonders and wonders and in his wondering, his feet have aimlessly led him across the room. The kaleidoscopic lights splash the room in rainbow colours, briefly reminding him of Hillerska. Initiations. Red cups. Glowsticks.

When he gets close enough to hear Wilhelm’s voice—a deeper tone than before—he falters, considering a retreat. It would be easy to disappear into the crowd, to let the music and lights swallow him whole.

But Wilhelm must still be Wille. It's like he can sense him. An invisible thread that pulls them together. He turns around, lips parting slightly, eyes cutting through everyone else to focus solely on him.

Wilhelm approaches, and they stand there, Two figures in a bustling room bathed in neon lights, frozen in time at 11:30 pm in Stockholm

Simon forgets how to breathe. His heart pounds, loud and insistent, and he stupidly thinks Wilhelm will say something like, I had a haircut.

AU where Charles has come to terms with being dead a long time ago. (It's pretty mint, actually. And it brought him to Edwin, the best person in this world or the next.)

That also means that when they meet Crystal, his thought isn't "cute girl", it's "lost amnesiac child".

He argues with Edwin that as the only adults in the vicinity, it's their responsibility to help her.

(Crystal is baffled. Edwin hates that he's right.)

They call her "young lady" and call out things like "Oi Missy! Watch the language!" and tease her about how flustered she looked when Niko showed up.

She hates that she enjoys their encouragement and weird old people humor.

And when she gets her memories back... she's so grateful for their love and support.

Aunt Cindy and Uncle Earl start going to PTA meetings and helping her get her grades back up.

They go to her graduations and offer love and congratulations.

When Aunt Cindy Edwin pats her shoulder and tells her they're proud of her, she does cry, but they don't talk about it.

They don't even tease her when she slips up and calls either of them Dad.

They DO tease her when she catches them kissing and has the same reaction any teenager would have catching their parents kissing.

"EW! GROSS!"

JUST Crystal gains two teenage ghost dads.

And of her real parents find out? So what! If she's forgettable, then they're replaceable.

Also what are they even going to do? Call the cops? Pssh

The Chair au

I'm watching (again) a The Chair on Netflix. And of course I need to wilmonise this a little bit. So Simon is the new Chair at the Literature department at University, he's a single dad of an adopted eight years old daughter. Wille also teaches at the Literature department. He's a widower, who’s daughter just moved to college. Simon is level headed, concentrated and he’s trying to navigate the new job and the casual racism of the old structures. Wille is charismatic and beloved by students but he’s a mess, and it’s starting to affect his job. They've been friends for years, and they have a very flirty and bickering dynamic. They’re really close, helping each other with everything but trying not to cross any boundaries, but it’s not that easy when they have this strong pull towards each other. But this is really not a good time to start anything, is it?

Everything is happening in the autumn, it's a little gloomy and cold. They wear wool coats, button-up shirts and flannel pants. Maybe Simon is borrowing Wille his scarf because he forgot his again. Maybe Wille is a little scruffy with a five o'clock shave, and Simon hates that he finds this so charming. Maybe Wille is great with Simon's daughter. Maybe they sneak out of the department party to smoke weed like students they definitely are not anymore. And maybe there are so many moments between them that are interrupted by colleges or themselves, because they're scared about what if this is real.

/ I really recommend The Chair, the vibes are great, Sandra Oh is amazing and beautiful as always (the styling!!!) and her chemistry with Jay Duplass is so goood.

I cannot get over the assassination happening while I was trying to get coverage for my testosterone. Imagine going into the pharmacy all excited to get your first ever testosterone prescription but find out it costs 800$ out of pocket for a three month supply and UHC won't cover it. So then you wait for your provider to get back to you about changing your prescription for an entire week and a half, and during that wait someone just. goes and fucking murders the CEO of your insurance company. Like they just kill him on the street. They had so much calculated hatred for this guy that they even engraved each bullet that hit him. Then, as if the heavens themselves opened up entirely to watch brian thompson descend into hell, your testosterone is ready two days later for pickup, and only costs 10 delicious dollars.

only letting queer roles be played by queer actors: broke, forces people to out themselves or be consumed by the mob, boring, forces queer actors to be put in tiny boxes, risk of compounding trauma

only letting homophobes be played by queer actors: hilarious, campy, nuanced, a serve
