    Summary

    "You seem nervous," Lan Wangji said.

    "And you don't," Wei Wuxian replied. "What happened? Aren't you supposed to be the pretty shy maiden?"

    "You went away for too long. And I'm no maiden," Lan Wangji answered, hauling Wei Wuxian to his feet and kissed him. Wei Wuxian yelped by the harsh pull and a helpless hiss fell from his lips when Lan Wangji bit down, thrusting his tongue inside the phantom's mouth, cutting off any more unwanted noises.

    Right, he's definitely no maiden.

    In which, an opera singer found comfort whilst being in the presence of an unknown phantom who spoke to him through the walls of his bedroom. And the phantom, well, he fell in love.

    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.::
