I finally wrote something again:

Infinite Amethyst Sounds
Fandom: Young Royals
1.8k, background Simon/Wille, AU - MCYT, outsider PoV
Summary: Five scenes that might have happened in the AU where Simon is a Minecraft Youtuber.

Notes: I asked DD for a prompt for Young Royals fic, she said "secret identity," I said "what if Simon was a Minecraft Youtuber" and she said "YES WRITE IT" and she kept encouraging me when I came up with more ideas until I actually wrote it, so it's clearly at least half her fault for enabling me. I wrote this in one day after several weeks of brainstorming. Originally I planned for it to be crack but then some angst snuck in. It's technically not a crossover but it feels like one (in my head Simon and Quackity definitely at least know of each other and are probably friends.)

DD wanted to rewatch Young Royals and asked if I wanted to watch it with her, and I was skeptical but thought that I would watch it while fishing in Minecraft maybe. Iirc it took me only three episodes to stop doing other things while watching it.

It's a show about a Swedish prince at a boarding school who develops a crush on a boy – and not just any boy, but *gasp* a commoner. And one with socialist tendencies, even! Yes DD writing the complete crack fic Seduced by the Socialist is my "fault" xD
It's remarkable how much less frustrating it is to watch teenagers make dumb decisions when they actually look like teenagers. We're calling it "the dumb teenagers show" now. I'm only lightly paraphrasing when I say that when I first saw Wille DD pointed at the screen and said "that's babygirl," and it didn't take long for me to understand the impulse. We also agree that his security team should be fired.

I was thoroughly spoiled for the plot of season 1, but I have no idea what's going to happen in season 2 (apart from that DD said Felice is likely to stay a favorite character, and some minor details) and I look forward to finding out.
