Summary
There are still people living in the slave-quarters of Tatooine. Obi-Wan Kenobi saw them as a young man and then mostly forgot about them once he was back on Coruscant, the way Anakin was supposed to but never managed.
Ben Kenobi walks past them every day.
Or: The Force is a dried-up river bed. In it are buried bodies.

His name is Viktor because he's named after peace and victory and a little bit after his grandfather, Avigdor. (Viktor Krum's life up to the World Cup. Krum is an Ashkenazi Jewish surname, you can fight me on this.)

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
Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”
“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

Summary
Marvel: "So, like, Sokovia is basically Serbia, but also it's definitely not Serbia, but also it is sort of Serbia. It's Serbia-adjacent. Serbia-esque."
Me: "Fine, but I'm going to hold you to that."
