    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

    “You said you were on a case?” Jason shouts, partially drowned out when the beast opens its fierce jaws and roars.

    “Case, monster hunt, same thing,” Tim replies.

    Tim isn’t very good at icing people out, even when they really, really deserve it.

    Summary

    “Oh, this is exciting. I’m excited. I’ve never been around such a pure being before.”

    “You didn’t even know until moments ago. And now it’s a novelty.”

    “I like novelty,” Hans says, and a shiver builds in Henry’s spine at his words. “Keeps things interesting.”

    Normally, Henry did too. But now, there is too much new. This new pressure building, this new tension, this new awareness of Hans’s hair slipping over his pillow as he turns again, this new energy that clenches Henry’s hands into fists. He doesn’t know what to do with all this. All these new feelings.

     

    First hunt, first kill, first siege, first friend, first fight, first reconciliation, first kiss. First time taking a risk. First time watching it pay off. A series of first times for both Henry and Hans.

    Summary

    Sir Hans Capon has grown into a lonely man. Sad, bitter, and far from the happy, mindless Lordling he used to be; having never found anyone to ever truly love him.

    Until Rattay gets a new Captain of the Guards. Henry of Skalitz- quiet, hardened by years of endless battles; having never met anyone to love after losing his home.

    They meet. And, throughout the months, they bring each other back to life again.
