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.

Eight weeks into their Eighth year, Baz finally arrives at school, ready to stun Snow with his arrival and then hopefully spend the rest of his school year hanging on to the edge of sanity as he only allows his desires the minor indulgence of watching his arch-nemesis (whom he's secretly in love with) as he unknowingly sleeps. Baz's plans are immediately put to a halt, however, once he returns to find that Simon Snow has been cursed, is chronically ill, and is due to die in less than a week. But breaking the curse is easy - all Baz has to do is admit that he loves the other boy more than anyone else ever will.

Baz dropped his head onto the edge of Simon's bed, next to Simon's limp hand. "I'd take all of your stupidity if it meant I could have you back." ~ Or, when Goblins put Simon in a coma, Baz isn't sure what he's supposed to do with himself. He settles for never leaving Simon's side.

AU where Simon is forced into hiding by the Mage instead of staying at Watford.

Simon never liked Hospitals, but when Penny's dad needs to have surgery, he finds himself in one. And he finds himself returning after a chance meeting with another Mage.
