[Takes place after 3.01/3.02 The Tears of Uther Pendragon]

Once, Merlin knew, time had progressed.
Once, he had woken without knowing exactly what would happen the entire day, down to what changes he could make for what outcomes to how he did it yesterday.

Summary
Emrys is meant to be at your side. He is destined to be your true love, the one to help you and support you for as long as you shall live.
But Arthur already had someone at his side, someone he loved more than life itself, and who was insolent, and stubborn, and the best person Arthur knew. How could anyone expect him to let go of Merlin for some stranger he’d never even met?Or: Arthur's life is finally going well. He's been crowned king, repealed the magic ban, successfully romanced his manservant-turned-Court-Sorcerer, and now he's fixing Camelot's relationship with the druids. If only there wasn't that pesky prophecy stating the man at his side isn't supposed to be Merlin, but the mysterious Emrys...

Summary
Word’s gotten around the citadel that Merlin, the king’s manservant, is seeing someone in secret and, while Merlin himself may be oblivious to King Arthur’s feelings, the rest of Camelot watches on as the ever obvious king pines for his ever oblivious servant.

Summary
“Calm yourself,” Gaius finally says. “You’re alright. Gwaine is alright. Do you remember what happened?”
Merlin’s brows furrow and his gaze flickers through the chambers until it lands on Arthur. He tilts his head, the confusion on his face only growing.
He asks, “I’m sorry, have we met?” and Arthur’s world not only stops, but crumbles.
Things have finally been going well in Camelot; Arthur knew about Merlin's magic, their relationship had been changing, and their plans for Albion—even if for now only shared with a trusted group—were almost too good to be true.
Then an attack leaves Merlin without his memories since Uther's death and, strangely enough, of Arthur specifically, and Arthur's world threatens to come crashing down once more.

Summary
'The potion in question was, as far as I can tell, of suitable strength to do its job. Merlin's power would have offered him no defence. There is, of course, one universal antidote against any magics that meddle in matters of the heart...'
'Which is?' Arthur demanded, raising his eyebrows.
Gaius sighed, casting a tired, apologetic look in Merlin's direction. 'If the target of a love spell is already truly, deeply devoted to someone – if they love another without question or pause – then no spell can take hold.'
'You're saying that it didn't work because Merlin already loves someone?' The words felt thin between his lips, straining to get past the sudden, leaden feeling in his chest. It felt like someone had plunged their hand inside him and caught his heart in the cage of their fist, and Arthur was left breathless as he tried to speak around the awful sensation.
******
When a love potion fails to affect Merlin because his heart has already been claimed, Arthur is left wondering who has earned Merlin's devotion

Summary
The dragon tilted his head and gazed down at him. “Return here tomorrow, before the ball. I will give you the solution to your problem. And a way to protect Prince Arthur.” The dragon stretched himself, readying himself for flight.
“But wait—” called Merlin as the dragon started to beat his wings. “What does that even mean?”
The dragon turned his head and looked down at him from above. “It means you shall go to the ball, young Warlock.” And then he laughed and disappeared in the darkness above.

Summary
“You’re like,” Merlin tries to explain it, if only so Arthur stops looking at him with that strange, unsure look, “a toothache.”
The new look on Arthur’s face is not a better one.
“A toothache?” he says, dead calm, “Are you serious? Are you honestly saying that you think being married to me would be like having a toothache? Merlin!”
“I’m going to bed,” Merlin says, bailing out now and ignoring all protesting sputtering, because this conversation is clearly a problem for future Merlin. He will soothe Arthur and make sure that he knows anyone would be lucky to be married to him, but in a really annoying way. Merlin will figure it out. Future Merlin, that is.
Not this one.
This one is already drooling onto his luxurious down pillow, blissfully unaware of what he has wrought.

“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

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.::

Morgana opened the door to reveal Leon’s smiling face, Gwen hanging on one of his arms. They noticed the wine with narrowed eyes as Morgana dramatically poured herself a glass three sizes too big without uttering a word to suggest why.
“What –?” Leon’s face scrunched up in confusion.
“Arthur,” Morgana declared, gulping down too much wine at once in order to prepare herself for the bone-chilling announcement, “is bringing his new boyfriend over tonight.”
