Inspired by this post (thank you for reblogging it @andthatisnotfake ):
Pirate AU where Simon is a pirate or privateer captain on a ship he owns together with his childhood friends Ayub and Rosh. One lucky day they manage to capture the previously capered flag ship of the Swedish Royal Navy, and its handsome pirate captain.
What he doesn't know is that its captain is none other than the Swedish Crown Prince in disguise.
None of them knows what the Crown Prince looks like (no cameras for another century or so) when he's not dressed up as the Crown Prince.
Simon falls for the handsome pirate captain he's captured. Wille is a revolutionary like him, who hates the monarchy with a passion as strong as his own. Add lots of steamy sex in the captain's quarters - pirates are hot, sue me.
Simon slowly realises Wille isn't who he says he is. His manners are too posh, his behaviour too strange. And then maybe Simon finds his signet ring, or a letter from his late brother. Or maybe he gets it when he learns that...
...Crown Prince Wilhelm pirated his own ship, because he doesn't just want a revolution, he's planned a whole coup with his trusted friends Felice Ehrencrona and Alexander Bragé. A coup against the Queen and the court, and the Noble families led by the Horn af Årnäs family. With the goal to forcethe hand of the Swedish Parliament Riksdagen to abolish the monarchy in favour of a new Swedish Republic.
Felice becomes the first President of Sweden. Simon and Wille sails into the sunset, living happily ever after.
do you see it?? the light in his eyes??
... in the first season we opened with a staff member of the royal court saying "Prince Wilhelm"
In second season we opened with Queen Kristina saying "Wilhelm"
Will we have the third season opening with Simon saying "Wille"?
Over a 100???? It was just the guy in the photo a couple days ago djsjdjks
WILHELM + SIMON YOUNG ROYALS | 3.06
Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.
I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
Ok but like what am I supposed to do when yr ends. This show has become 99% of my personality.
I'm sorry to everyone out there that hates kissing
This sums up the difference between Heartstopper and Young Royals perfectly: The first time Wille and Simon share a bed, they have epic sex. The first time Charlie and Nick share a bed, they have a pillow fight.
