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 Solaceofthewild

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
He remembers, distantly, learning that when a body dies, it starts to bloat with all the things trapped inside. Gases, fluids, broken whispers of life clinging stubbornly to flesh. He wonders, grotesquely, if when he dies, it will not be gases that fill him but this.
This feeling. Undigested, unresolved, unspoken.
Will he rot with Matt’s name still burning under his tongue?OR
Alex has loved Matt for years. Everything spirals in one week, and he can't take it any more.

Summary
Logan didn’t much like Erik Lehnsherr when he first met him in a bar about a year ago. Logan likes him a lot less after he dumps Logan’s tranquilized carcass on Charles Xavier’s doorstep like a dog presenting its owner with a stunned rabbit.

Summary
“Besides,” Charles complains, “No one ever gets the story right.”
Edwin hums. “If my memory of assigned school readings can be trusted—and I assure you, it can be—Ovid was perhaps the closest.”
“You think so?”
“‘Dying a second time, now, there was no complaint to her husband (what, then, could she complain of, except that she had been loved?)’” Edwin quotes softly, looking over to Charles as he does. “Many authors have assumed that I–that Eurydice–would be bitter or sorrowful when Orpheus turned. Only Ovid truly grasped that she was none of those things. How can one be bitter when one is loved?”

Or, Crystal accidentally awakens Charles and Edwin's past lives
