— to the one he loved in secret
an enemies to roommates to lovers wilmon au

wille doesn’t have anywhere to go, nowhere to stay after he gets kicked out of their house after coming out to his parents. as a (very) last resort, wille ends up moving with simon, who he can’t stand

Wilhelm needs to find a place to stay after getting kicked out of his parents’ house when they come out as queer. As a very last resort (due to not being able to afford a place to stay / having nowhere to go), they move in with Simon Eriksson, who he really can’t stand.

notes:

• time stamps are kinda important
• tws / cws will be used when necessary
• all the angst in the world will be included (bc i’m embracing the enemies to lovers part)
• part smau / part written out
• tweets, messages and more included
• lowercase intended

more notes:

• au starts in february 2026
• wille does use he/they pronouns
• ^^ pls be patient with me bc this is my first time writing with he/they pronouns
• this is a non royal au !!
• some implied sexual content (nothing too bad)
