Simon and Baz have lived through seven straight years of sharing a room and hating it. But this year that all might change. When they are paired together (against their will of course) in class Simon is forced to confront feelings that may have been there for a very long time. . .

Simon's drunk, and thinks visiting Baz's house is a good idea.... TW: alcohol, coarse language, mild violence, blood, smut

What if Simon was aware of his feelings for Baz? What if Penny knew too? This is the setup as the story unfolds. Except this time, it's not the Humdrum they're facing. The gang has managed to get themselves into something much worse. With no clue where to go and no idea what they're about to find, they set off from Watford in the middle of the night in hopes of saving the World of Mages from a thing with impossible powers. Will they succeed, and what will happen on their journey there? Read to find out! This story falls under the categories of fanfiction, canon (I think), action, adventure, fantasy, and probably a few more. Hey, if you didn't get the little thing I did in the title, I'll explain. In the parentheses, I wrote AU Au, the first of which means alternate universe, and the second of which stands for gold on the Periodic Table. So... it's alternate universe gold. Ha. Ha. Funny? I hope so. Warning, there's loads of swearing in this. You've been warned.
