    To You

    a novel by Miya Atsumu

    Miya Atsumu’s best-selling debut novel is a memoir that comes in the form of a long and heartfelt letter to his long-time best friend, former volleyball teammate, and lover, Sakusa Kiyoomi. He tells the story of his dysfunctional family upbringing, the unwavering friendships that helped him through it, his strange sexuality journey, what it means to live, to lose, to grieve, and at the heart of it all, to love.

    “Painfully human, honest, and fucking hilarious. Both this novel and the person who wrote it.” - The New York Times Book Review
    “So intimately written that I felt like I was their third. I’d love that for me, actually.” - Hoshiumi Kourai, author
    “Atsumu writes the way he talks and finishing this book felt like having to say goodbye to a friend. Good thing he actually is my friend. Too bad for the rest of you, though!” - Kita Shinsuke, author

    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

    "We need to do something, or else a lot of bad is going to happen." Fives stressed while Fox resisted the urge to correct him on the use of 'we'. "But you don't believe me,”
    “No, not in the slightest," Fox said frankly, "And honestly I'm going to go get my brandy in a second so I can try and forget the fact that I've apparently descended to the point of actually talking to my hallucinations,”

     

    Fox hallucinating the ghost of Fives was not the worst thing that had happened to him. Realising that he may not be hallucination at all was considerably worse though. Assassination plots ensue.

    Summary

    Commander Fox has a lot on his plate: managing his Corries, filling out piles of forms, dealing with obnoxious Senators, and not thinking about the way he keeps waking up covered in other people's blood. All that considered, he really doesn't have time to deal with being investigated by the Captain of the 501st and the Head of the Jedi Order for two separate murders he (probably) didn't (want to) commit. But Fox is a soldier, and good soldiers follow orders, so when does he ever get what he wants?
