    Summary

    “My homeland boasts of great mountains, a biting, arctic wind, and snow that goes up to our knees. We live in a perennial winter.”

    “Snow? What’s that?”

    “You know what ice is? It’s when water gets very, very cold, and freezes over. Snow is similar. It looks like powdered sugar. Powdered ice, I suppose.”

    “And it's everywhere?” Yuuji asks in awe. He tries to imagine it: powdered sugar on the ground, covering the trees, scattered in Gojo’s hair. “I would love to see it one day.”

    “You can,” says Gojo softly. “If you come with me.”

    In an unexpected turn of events, Itadori Yuuji presents as a vessel on his twentieth birthday—the perfect vessel for any clan’s cursed techniques, and guaranteed to give birth to powerful sorcerers. Once his brother’s pride and joy and heir to his kingdom, Yuuji is now nothing but a babymaking machine.

    But life goes on. And to ensure that his little brother finds a worthy husband, the King of Curses organises a tournament for the strongest sorcerers to compete for Yuuji’s hand. Yuuji isn't too worried, expecting his best friend, Megumi, to win.

    Until a tall stranger from the cold, northern lands shows up.

    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

    Arthur has traveled to sign a treaty of friendship with other kingdoms, when he realizes they've intended to set him up to marry as well. He doesn't want to marry for the sake of marrying, so he pulls a clumsy, crowned Merlin in with false talk that they married quietly.

    Arthur's true in saying he wants to marry for love, because he chooses Merlin for more than one reason.

    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
    Or

    Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

     

    Also, or

    Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.
