    Summary

    Commander Arthur Pendragon leads the mission to Jupiter to establish a nascent colony in orbit around the gas giant. But once they arrive, a series of inexplicable accidents lead to EVA Specialist Merlin Emrys' death, and Arthur spirals into grief and guilt, jeopardizing the whole mission.

    Merlin, however, is not dead, but rather abducted by the draconic derkesthai aliens, who force him into changes both physical and mental. They want to send a message to humanity, and Merlin is to be the messenger. Unless he refuses to obey...

    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

    There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.

    But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

    (canon divergence au in which lestat finds a way to save claudia, too)
