Summary
Two months. It's just long enough for Weiss and Yang to readjust back to life on Remnant. They thought it was over – fighting on Earth, aliens, intergalactic war. Back together with their friends, they think they can focus back on defeating Salem.
They should have known better.
The sudden appearance of Bradford can only mean one thing. The war has followed them home. With Salem plotting daily, the question becomes less “who will see the end of the war” and more “will they win the war at all?”

Summary
[ABANDONED/DISCONTINUED]
There was a moment of silence as the little girl gathered her thoughts. “I dream of a place that is not here. A place with towers of steel and flying metal boats. Of fires that never go out, of people so rich they throw out mountains of food and still grow so fat they can hardly move—”
“Oh,” Her mother sighs a laugh, interrupting her, “Wynnie, those are not like the True dreams. Those are just dreams, wild imaginations that bloom at night, when you have the time to think on them.”
“No!” Edwyna shouts, startling the laughter from Lady Starks’ face as quickly as it formed, “No, these are real.”
--
Lady Lyarra Stark prays to the Gods for an answer to her husbands foolish southern ambitions, and gets more than she bargained for. But will her unnaturally intelligent daughter be enough to keep her children and the North safe?
Edwyna doesn't think she is as special as her mother believes. All she knows is that she wants the dreams to stop so she can sleep and play with her brother Brandon in peace.

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.::
