When we meet Simon Snow in Carry On, his final school year at Watford School of Magicks has just begun, and he spends weeks in a huff over the fact that his mortal enemy slash roommate Baz has yet to show up. And whereas the idea of Simon and Baz canonically being in love was but a pipedream in the world of Fangirl, Carry On came barging in to save the day with the perfect enemies-to-lovers tale.
When Fangirl came to an end, Rowell decided that she wasn’t quite done with the idea of Simon and Baz, and so she plucked them from that story and dropped them into their own series with a book called Carry On.
Fangirl follows the protagonist Cath’s journey through her first year of university, while also introducing a key aspect of her personal life: Cath is an avid Simon/Baz shipper, and she dedicates most of her free time to writing fanfiction about them. Simon and Baz were first born on the pages of Rowell’s 2013 novel Fangirl, a universe in which they exist as two characters in a Harry Potter-esque book series by a fictional author named Gemma T.
