    Summary

    Ilya feels like he knows everything and nothing about Shane at once. He's a child of Nike, his team always wins Capture-the-flag, he's still in touch with his biological father, and he's obscenely lucky.

    What he doesn't know, is if Shane is the best or the worst person to quest with.

    //
    Aristotle's qualifications for a Greek tragedy include dianoia (thought and introspection) and opsis (spectacle and performance). Shane and Ilya bring both to the table.

    Summary

    She follows them to the sectional where the second man that called her “new kid”—who still hasn’t attempted to make any impression on her—is stretched out on the couch looking bored. Miller swats at his feet to push him into a more proper sitting position while saying, “Bellamy, turn off the TV for a second, we have company.”

    Clarke releases a short breath. Murphy, Bellamy, Miller. Okay, that’s easy: Murphy, Bellamy, Miller—

    “So,” Miller begins, giving another kind smile. She realizes she’s still standing while the three men have gotten comfortable on the couch. “Why are you lookin’ for roommates?”

    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

    When Gwaine told Merlin that he would sponsor him for the Social Season, he just laughed in his face.

    When Gwaine just smiled back mischievously, he started to worry.

    ***

    Merlin unwittingly becomes a candidate in the traditional royal race to win Arthur's heart and marry him. Apparently, Gwaine was right when he'd said that the line between genius and insanity was a very fine one.
