What was it that Erik had said?
Maybe you can have that Shakespearean romance with a Sprucewood guy, Wille.
Wilhelm scoffed audibly. If they were anything like the idiot who had just stormed in, or the other idiot he was unfortunately related to, then no thanks.
No way he’d want a nightmarish romance like that.
or: an AU where Wilhelm and Simon meet for the first time during the rowing competition in Hillerska, but there's a catch: Simon is from the Sprucewood team, who have been at war with Forest Ridge for a long time.
alternatively, a Romeo and Juliet parody AU but instead of laying our scene in Verona, it's in Hillerska. and instead of a Shakespearean tragedy, it's more of a romantic-comedy.
this was written for @hillerskalibrary 's YR Week 2023 for the Day 2 prompt "Alternate First Meeting"let's all ignore that i'm two days late lol
