    Summary

    “Hey, so why was your stuff here in the first place?”

    At an instant, Wylan’s bright smile turns precarious. It’s not so much anything to do with his expression as it is the sudden tense in posture, the way he so obviously tries to look unbothered.

    Jesper grimaces, just as instantly. “You don’t have to–”

    “It’s nothing. It was part of a treatment this ‘doctor’ my father called had, for my reading…” Wylan makes a small, unspecific gesture with an awkward smile. The silence that hangs is thick.

    A discovery of a locked-away box of Wylan’s childhood belongings stirs up an argument between Jesper and Wylan, and then a conversation—but not before bringing up a few memories too.

    Summary

    Sjoerd was his Kerch tutor, but he was also so much more. He was Wylan’s friend, he was someone who cared about him, he was Wylan’s lover. Lover, because Sjoerd said ‘boyfriend’ sounded juvenile, Wylan’s because Sjoerd chose him. 

    or: Wylan was lonely, when Sjoerd came along he decided to follow him, never noticing the red flags until it was too late.

    Summary

    Running through the woods of Ketterdam on four legs was a new feeling, but he felt free. New, like he had a new lease on life, like he could never die. He was well aware of his own mortality, his father had made sure of that, but he didn’t care.

    Wylan would laugh if he could, but id didn’t matter. He came alone a stream and leapt into it, splashing around happily. He sneezed happily, tail wagging wildly. He had never felt so happy, delighted, even.

    Summary

    Gert Van Verent Jr., better known as Junior, doesn’t know he owns Wylan Van Eck. He doesn’t know that they had played in this room together as children while their fathers talked merchant council business. He doesn’t see that Wylan is human, or ever was, and that’s all exactly as intended.

    Or: A BBU (Box Boy Universe) inspired fic where Wylan has little to no memory of ever being Wylan. He only really knows a life as "Whisky," a rising internet sensation in adult videos and livestreams directed and produced by the aspiring influencer who owns him. That is, until two familiar strangers double-cross on a deal with that particular devil.

    Summary

    “We’ve – ” We’ve met, Wylan had been about to say. He cut himself off in time, his own father glaring at him. “Your Highness,” Wylan bowed low, bending at the waist. “It is – it is my honor.”

    He’d bent too, that night in the Barrel – did the Prince know? Or perhaps, worse-better-worse, had he been so unremarkable that the Prince had forgotten about him? Wylan swallowed, muscle memory forcing him to remember his lessons: he could rise only when the Prince allowed it.

    ------------

    Or, an arranged marriage AU where Jesper is Novyi Zem’s wayward prince, Wylan sneaks out before his betrothal to enjoy the company of a Zemeni man, and Jesper adopts a goat – not necessarily in that order.
