X-men fandom has so many ridiculously amazing AUs, idek. But this one is my absolute favorite. I don't even know what to say. The world-building -- better than the average published scifi novel. The story -- sexy and suspenseful. The characters -- you already love them.

Don't read this. I mean, if you get freaked out easily. Because as far as the book and movie went, this goes so much further.

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.::

K, so I have never seen a single episode of this show. But as a reworking of the Arthurian mythology + the meet-a-prince-at-uni romcom trope this fic is fucking fantastic.
