    Summary

    The Martial God of Death, Hua Cheng, ascended with little to no memory of his mortal life before godhood. What he did know was that he did it for…Someone. Someone so beloved and so ingrained in his heart that, even when he had lost all memory, he remembered he needed to look for them. Even without knowing who they were.

    With his mission in mind, he made an agreement with Heaven to allow him to stay in the mortal realm to look for that Someone.

    Except…he seems to have caught the eye of The Scourge of Heaven, the Lord of the Ghost City, and The Mad Calamity: Fangxin, the Crimson Sword Deathly Flower.

    Or: A HuaLian Reverse!AU resulting from a very specific canon divergence point.

    Summary

    There is little of himself to be seen in the boy who clearly takes after his mother. He has her coloring, her soft classical features, even her muted air of melancholy, here more pronounced and freshly shaded by grief. Yet looking closely, is there not something in his bearing that reminds him of Robertus’s solemn, thoughtful gaze? Is that petal-pink, bow-shaped mouth not curiously familiar even without Simonetta’s gracious and warming smile? Even those charming, impossible to hide ears are so like his sister’s that his remaining doubts crumble and lie forgotten, and with them his ability to hold firm to neutral disinterest. It is no longer a question that this fragile young beauty is his son, and Hannibal is impatient now to bring him home as soon as possible, and equally unseemly in his sudden desire to hide Will away and allow no other watchful eyes the privilege of an unhindered view.

    Will’s parents die, and it turns out the man who raised him was not his biological father. Hannibal sees in this unexpected development an opportunity to nurture and raise his own companion and partner, in all things and in every possible sense of the word.

    Summary

    Will's been through ten high schools. Never sticks around for more than half a semester, tops. Now, it's the second semester of his junior year, and between constantly being the New Kid and being ostracized for being Non Verbal, Will can't think of anything worse than dealing with yet another High School.

    Until he meets Hannibal Lecter.

    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.::
