Summary
In the year 2082, thirty Sorcerers who called themselves “The Pure” took over England in a violent coup, established a magical supremacy, and ruled until Uther Pendragon and his underground forces defeated them. Uther became dictator, taking charge of the country in its State of Emergency. All sorcerers tied to The Pure were publicly executed. Sorcery was declared illegal. Uther's peacekeeping Patronus force crushes rebellions. All who are suspected of practicing magic disappear or are executed. England grows increasingly restless under Uther Pendragon. Laws on sorcery have begun to change in other countries, and civil unrest stirs again in England herself.
In this changing political landscape, Uther Pendragon’s son Arthur finds himself at University, caught between his father’s expectations and his own growing unease about his father’s policies and persecution of magic. His friend and classmate from childhood, Merlin Astur, has kept his secret as long as he's been alive. In the face of a changing world, threats to his closest friends, and an ancient Druid legend, he struggles to keep his magic hidden while protecting those dear to him.

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's life was always full of the worries and troubles of a prince. So once a year he took a break from everything by going to his summer house. But one of the summers everything changed when an old druid whom he did not want to shelter cast a curse on him, turning him into a horrible beast and also cursing his knights and servants. The only way to break the curse was for someone to get to love him before his time was up. But who would be able to love a beast?
Retelling Merthur of Beauty and the Beast.

Summary
Magnolia Springs, Alabama. Population 760. Small, friendly, known by everyone in town as the hidden gem of the south. Everybody knows everybody. And in a town like this, there are no secrets. It’s a place that Harry hasn’t thought of in years. A place that he thought he left in his rearview as soon as he hopped on that flight to New York after his acceptance into NYU. After what is better known to Harry as "the incident", he left and never looked back.
And he would’ve loved to keep it that way if there wasn’t a little problem in the form of Niall Horan. His husband.
or a sweet home Alabama au that absolutely no one asked for or probably even wants.

Summary
Hi Padfoot!
Don’t worry, I've found your notebook, but I’m queer too, want to be friends?[email not sent]
Remus Lupin finds a diary and having zero shame and reading it is the best decision he ever made. Sirius Black, who is having an identity crisis because Holy Shit the new guy is hot, almost destroys everything he has ever wanted.
Remus is a scholarship student in the prestigious Hogwarts. He's decided on not messing up this opportunity and keep everyone at a five feet distance. Sadly, for him, that is, the new substitute teacher isn't having any of this, so he is forced to go to his least desired extracurricular: drama class.
also: fuck you know who we dont support transphobia here :))
