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
In the best of circumstances, Shang Qinghua wouldn’t have to be cursing all the choices that Luo Binghe makes, except Luo Binghe’s every move as the venerated ruler of the realm is so carefully observed and emulated by all the other demons.
Luo Binghe takes a male consort? The demons watch and learn.
Luo Binghe’s consort is a human cultivator? The demons are taking notes.
Luo Binghe’s human consort is a Cang Qiong Peak Lord? The demons are frantically making checklists that would determine one’s suitability to be a consort, and guess who ticks all the boxes.
(Or, the one where Shang Qinghua suddenly becomes Prime Demon Marriage Material™.)

Summary
“Allmother?” Max asks.
“Hmm?” Furiosa asks, automatically.
“They call you ‘Allmother’,” Max says. “Met some Rocketboys last month that spat whenever they said it. Didn’t know they meant you.”
The look on his face suggested he was severely disappointed, as if he intensely regretted whatever he had done to the Rocketboys. If Furiosa knew him, which she suspected she did, Max regretted killing them so quickly.

Summary
Everything with Sykkuno felt new, and Corpse had been riding a high for the last couple of hours. Just Sykkuno’s voice was usually enough to boost his spirits, but the real, living Sykkuno? The Sykkuno that hugged him and touched his hair and grabbed his arm and didn’t cover up his pretty smile as he laughed at Corpse’s stupid jokes? Hanging around this Sykkuno made Corpse feel feverish and punch-drunk happy, heart fluttering faster than a hummingbird’s wings every time Sykkuno as much as made eye contact with him. Corpse wasn’t used to feeling so alive, and Sykkuno felt too real.

"Your mask. Take it off."
"I'm not-" Corpse started with a hollow laugh of disbelief, like he thinks that this is just a weird prank Sykkuno is playing on him. "I- no. I'm not taking it off, Sy."
"I need to see. Whatever you’re hiding, I need to know. I need to know what you’re keeping from me, what you know, what happened, I need to know, before it happens again or I find out you’re lying to me or you’re not who you say you are, if you if you killed all those people, I need-” His voice continued until he ran out of breath, dropping his head down as he tried steadying himself again.

Summary
Chu Wanning is asleep on the bed, clutching his hands tightly to his chest and curled in on himself. He’s still wearing the same robes he was in in the water prison. On the writing desk, a bowl of water and clean linen for bandages sit untouched, and a tub of bathwater has cooled without being used. Mo Ran sighs to himself. Wanning is truly hopeless.
He sits on the side of the bed and touches Chu Wanning’s shoulder. “Wanning,” he says. “Wanning, wake up.”

Rare 0.5 tenderness, after the water prison.

Summary
Even so, there is a compartment of his heart where he stashes away the memories he cannot bear to inspect for too long, for fear that his mind, as always, will calculate the very worst outcome. On one shelf: the gray hair he found at his temple a few days ago. In a deeper alcove: the startled look on his grandmother’s face when she had forgotten his name for a moment too long when he last visited her.
In a hidden room, maybe even a full annex shut away from the rest of his heart: Keiji’s entire sixteenth year, when a boy with incandescent eyes told him that they were the protagonists of the world, and Keiji had believed it.
