Summary
Normally the main fight at the Olympics is to see who gets first.
But ever since Simon took the swimming world by a storm during the Rio Olympics in 2020, it's not been a question of who would get first, but who would join the Venezuelan swimmer and his equally accomplished Swedish rival on the podium in third.
Gold and silver belonged to Wille and Simon. Everyone else could only hope to fight for bronze.

Summary
“Unfortunately, Mister Eriksson, sorry isn’t good enough. The attention you’ve brought to our institution, not just from the press but from our royal family, cannot be swept under the rug.” The headmistress sighs, like this is a challenge for her. “Students from better circumstances have been expelled for less.”
“You mean,” he says, sullen and small, “students can who buy their way out of trouble.”
In which Simon — freshly broken up with the Crown Prince, with a viral sex tape on the Internet — faces punishment at Hillerska for dealing drugs on campus. Wilhelm uses it to win him back.

Summary
Simon forces himself to keep breathing. It’s only suspicious if he makes it so, he tells himself firmly. “What’s wrong?” he teases, doing his best to keep his tone light. “I’m sure you’ve met plenty of my kind.”
“Nothing,” Wilhelm jumps to defend himself. He picks idly at the skin of his fingers and Simon can’t help but notice the ragged flesh around his nails, almost as if this is a common habit for him. “I’ve just never had the best relationship with reporters - or the press.”
------
Or: Simon, a journalist at a left-wing magazine, eagerly accepts the chance of a lifetime to write a scathingly honest piece about the newly crowned King Wilhelm, who has a history shrouded in parties, drugs, and gay allegations. His plans, however, go to shit when he realizes that Wilhelm is nothing like he expected.Bookmarked by thornsofasnake

Summary
The dagger at Simon’s hip weighs more than it had when he’d first strapped it to himself this morning.
Wille gentles an arm around his shoulders, pointing out exotic birds and plants, explaining their respective habitats, their food habits. The vulnerable skin of his throat is unguarded, the tender flesh near his heart covered only by thin, white cotton. It would be quick, Simon promises himself, painless even. Wilhelm need not unnecessarily suffer.
“– back inside?”
Simon blinks up at him.
Wille’s shading his eyes, brows knitted together in faint concern as he looks down at him.
Simon feels himself flush. “Sorry, I missed what you said.”
---
Or, Wille is the second born son of Queen Kristina. Simon is the fool who marries him with the goal of assassinating him and bringing an end to the tyrannical monarchy. It doesn't go according to plan.

Summary
Wilhelm raises his eyebrows as well. “Pirate Captain Simon Eriksson.”
He watches as Simon swallows, stepping forward to set the coins down on the countertop. He still smells like the ocean, Wilhelm notes vaguely, like sunshine and sea-salt.
Ayub looks between the two of them, alarm twisting across his features until Wille sighs. “I’m not here to arrest anyone.”
….Or: Wilhelm is a Navy Officer and Simon is a pirate. As usual, they are desperately in love.

Summary
Simon holds up his phone on his notes app. He’s been brainstorming. It reads: Hi, Wilhelm. Sorry to message you but I’m having a situation at school with some bullies that I could use your help with. I get if you don’t want to. Thanks.
“Wow, no emoji. So businesslike.” Rosh is so mean to him.
Simon groans. “It’s really hard! What am I supposed to say? Hey, remember how we had one last night together and we said goodbye and I never gave you a birthday present and then the school closed? Well. Can you pretend the breaking up part didn’t happen to get some assholes off my back?”
“Maybe the difficulty of writing the message should clue you in to the badness of the plan,” Rosh argues.
