    Summary

    A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...

    This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.

    Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!

    ::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::

    Summary

    “I’m leaving.” Merlin says, because this situation already cost him his Duolingo streak, and he’s too tired to deal with Arthur when the food Gaius is serving him looks like it belongs on a list of war crimes committed by the Canadian soldiers.

    “Where to?” His mentor asks, and Merlin shrugs, before going to his room and packing his bag.

    “India. Gaius, I have decided I don’t give a damn, especially not when having to eat that bland food. I’ll be back in three months, make sure Arthur doesn’t die when I’m out.”

    “Merlin!” And maybe, if he was younger and didn’t travel back to the past last month, he would’ve actually cared about the ‘eyebrow of disapproval’.

     

    Or, a 1500yo Merlin gets zapped to the past during his vacation to Cuba. You’d think he’s happy to see Arthur again. He’s not.

    Summary

    “Merlin, what is in your hair?” Gaius asks - rather judgmentally, Merlin thinks. It’s not as though Gaius can turn into a bird, making his opinion irrelevant. Everyone’s opinions shall now be irrelevant to him unless they can turn into birds, he decides. He puts a hand to his hair and feels a leaf.

    (So this is a very canon-inaccurate sort of re-telling, with some big divergences, minus a dragon or prophecy or two)

    Summary

    Sieun didn't think Suho liked the quiet, bookish types. But Sarang is pretty. It makes sense. Of course it makes sense.
    So why does he feel like vomiting all over his shoes?

    Or, Suho has a new girlfriend but there's one problem:
    She's a carbon copy of Yeon Sieun.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler was dying.

    A cruel, painful, humiliating death.

    His parents were going to find his body sprawled out on the Wheeler living room carpet. And his tombstone? Oh, his tombstone was going to be tragic.

    Here lies Mike Wheeler.
    Cause of death: Will Byers Pretty Face.

    💕💕💕💕

     

    Mike Wheeler has faced demogorgons, mind flayers, and Vecna himself — but nothing is as life-threatening as Will Byers pretty face.

    Now Mike is convinced he’s dying (emotionally), Will is oblivious (or… is he?), and Mike doesn't know how much more of this he can take.
