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
What would happen if Arthur accidentally stops paying salary to Merlin? Would a weak Merlin cry in the corner and let himself remain hungry for ages waiting for Arthur to realize his mistake? Would a strong Merlin demand his rights from Arthur? Or would the greatest sorcerer and thinker of the Arthurian legends prove that he is not in this for the money? Join Merlin as he sets about his life as Arthur's unpaid manservant.

Summary
“They say Emrys tamed the great dragon of Camelot and sired the white dragon of Albion-”
“Sired?” Gwaine interrupted “This Emrys fellow is going around siring dragons? How exactly is that happening? Sex with other dragons?” He asked and despite the situation, Merlin flushed. The man in question blinked, looking equally baffled by the question. From the corner of his eye, Merlin could see Arthur pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Uh…I actually don’t know.”
“But you’re Emrys,” Merlin reminded the imposter with a sigh “You don’t remember siring any dragons?”
“I said it was an off day!” The man complained, trying to cross his arms despite being upside down. Merlin took a long breath. Lancelot had already walked away, but that did nothing to hide his howling laughter.
Or
The knights keep hearing various (dramatic) rumors about the great and mighty Emrys. Everyone is such a gossip. Merlin is trying not to have a heart attack. Lancelot is loving life.

Summary
Merlin has seen death and destruction in Camelot. He remained Arthur’s shadow and did nothing to help anyone except Arthur. What if at some time Merlin said enough was enough. What if Merlin worked to change his own lot? What if Merlin did not stop at himself, he helped the other servants, other peasants and the magic user’s alike? What if Merlin changed Camelot's moral compass? What if Merlin formed a parallel government right under Uther’s nose? This is the story of a BAMF Merlin who dreamed to change the social fabric of Camelot’s society and achieved something.

Summary
'Magic will love you,' she whispered, pressing both palms to where Arthur lay curled inside her, almost ready, but not quite. 'With all its heart and of its own free mind, magic will love you, and you will love it in turn.'
When Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic on a hunting trip gone wrong, it feels as if his world has been turned upside down. Yet a mother's love is a powerful thing, and her blessing even more so. Will Ygraine's little gift be enough to help him see that he truly cannot hate half of that which makes him whole?
(AKA the one with the giant boar.)

Summary
Arthur hadn’t thought much of what his greatest fear would be until it was carved into his skin. The only thing worse was finding out what everyone else was afraid of.

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

one of my fav tropes is anything to do with meeting over the radio and this was such a fun, modern spin on it for this pairing. Loved that the whole friend group was there and in on the gossip the whole time. Also, all the radio fans shipping them was such a cute addition

Summary
Sonic works at a movie theater, and one day sees someone who looks just like his ex, Shadow. He soon finds out Lancelot is so different from Shadow, and Sonic can't help his attraction.
⋅•✧༺ ─── ☾ ─── ༻✧•⋅
Lancelot stepped closer, not enough to corner, but enough to be felt.
“I like seeing you flustered,” he purred with a smile. His eyes were slightly closed, and he had a teasing look in them.
'He’s flirting… totally flirting. This is flirting, right?' Sonic thought.
Sonic swallowed. His throat was dry, and his thoughts were a mess. He couldn’t remember the last time someone had looked at him like that. Sure, Shadow and him had a thing, but Lancelot looked at him in a way that made his heart race and want to melt at the same time.
Which was odd. Sonic barely knew the guy.

Summary
King Shadow and King Arthur have had a long history marked by tension and hatred.
Later, Jester Sonic joins the mix, and Lancelot, a reserved knight, can't help his attraction to him.⋅•✧༺ ─── ☾ ─── ༻✧•⋅
“Yield,” King Shadow barked.
King Arthur only laughed, a rough sound in his ruined throat. His lips were split. His blue fur was matted. Blood-traced lines over his face and body. Arthur looked up at Shadow and saw the hate and fury in his eyes. After years and years of rivalry, he couldn’t help his next words. He loved seeing the king come undone.
“You’re beautiful like this,” Arthur said hoarsely.
Shadow blinked from shock. “What?”
Arthur’s hand rose, curling into the wet fur at Shadow’s chest. He stared up at him with defiance and yanked him down into a kiss.
⋅•✧༺ ─── ☾ ─── ༻✧•⋅
Sonic laughed. “Huh… are you a virgin?”
“That is none of your concern,” Lancelot said tightly.
“Oh, come on,” the jester sang, swinging his legs where he sat on the table. He twisted his hands so he could hold the knights properly. “You’ve got these strong, noble hands. I bet they’d be real careful with me. Or maybe not. I prefer it that way.”

Summary
After noticing his partner, Lancelot, and Sonic sharing a moment together, King Arthur makes Sonic wear a maid outfit and calls for Lancelot. This changes the three's dynamic forever. There is jealousy, possessiveness, violence, a whole lot of lust, and eventually more. ✨
⋅•✧༺ ─── ☾ ─── ༻✧•⋅
Sonic looked at King Arthur like he was crazy. “I-I don’t understand… why?”
“You like him, don’t you?” Arthur asked with a lazy grin, swirling his wine in his hand like he already knew the answer.
“What?! No! T-That’s not... he’s with you, isn’t he?”
Arthur leaned back on the velvet cushions, watching him. “Hmm, yes, technically.”
Sonic scowled at the vague answer. “Exactly. So what kind of messed-up royal logic makes you think I should wear a maid outfit to get his attention?”

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.
