Summary
A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

Summary
“Who are you?” Graves demanded hoarsely.
“I’m Newt. Scamander. Err. Pleased to meet you. I mean, I would’ve been pleased to meet you, under normal circumstances.”
“Scamander.” Graves frowned to himself. For someone who was supposedly in a bad rut, he seemed perfectly in control. “Your accent, it’s British. Any relation to Theseus Scamander? Head of the DMLE?”
“I’m his younger brother.”
“Are you an Auror?”
“No. I’m a magizoologist.”
Graves exhaled, exasperated. “A what? Is this a rescue or are you a hostage?”
“Sort of neither,” Newt admitted.

"Who knows?" Luke darted a faint smile at Ben and Rey as they stewed in silence and disbelief. "The two of you might even learn to get along. Right, Leia?"
"Like a house on fire," the General deadpanned. "Complete with screams, flames, and people running for safety."
"Indeed." Luke's blue eyes twinkled. "There may be no survivors."

"So let me get this straight," he says. "You're a dryad."
"Quite so," she cheerfully replies.
"Like an actual—" His hand rises to make a feeble gesture at the towering elms that surround them— "tree-dwelling, speaks-with-animals, has-magical-powers, frolics-through-the-woods-in-orgiastic-pagan-frenzy dryad?"
She wrinkles her delicately freckled nose. "Well, I don't know about orgiastic frenzy, that's really more of a maenad type of deal."
He looks her up and down, taking in her pretty face and her slender figure in the skimpy white dress.
"Too bad," he mumbles.

Summary
It’s four weeks to Election Day and the president comes up in a DNA testing database as a familial match for an orphaned grad student in Illinois whose politics might be politely described as progressive and less politely described as a socialist nightmare. Armed with thirty grand and a non-disclosure agreement the size of a small dog, Ben is immediately dispatched to sweep the entire mess under a rug. The problem is, of course, the girl--and, on a fundamental level, Ben himself.

Summary
“I don’t mean to speak out of turn,” said Ben, drawing on every ounce of patience he could muster, because no matter how angry he was he would not — under any circumstances — yell at his grandmother, “but I would rather be slowly digested for a thousand years by a sarlacc than marry Rey Palpatine.”
---
In a world with no Darth Vader, no Empire, and no rebellion, Naboo Senator Ben Solo and former Naboo Queen Rey Palpatine are forced into an arranged engagement by their families under one condition: they must first spend one week together in Ben’s family retreat in the Lake Country, Varykino.
Amidst a backdrop of the Naboo countryside, Ben and Rey discover what their relationship could be without the pressures of the Galactic Senate, the royal court, or their family’s expectations.
They quickly realize, however, that there’s far more to this arrangement than meets the eye, and there are political forces at work that threaten to disclose dark secrets kept long hidden by both their families...

Summary
“You are…” he trails off, waving his hand around as he searches for the word. “Adjusting well, then?”
At this, Rey lets out a disbelieving little huff of laughter, not at all humorous. “Adjusting to what? Palace life isn’t exactly a strenuous one.”
Ben clenches his jaw, annoyance flaring through him hot and quick — at her, at himself, at this whole situation.
“Well pardon me for asking,” he snaps churlishly. “You do a fine job of making yourself scarce, so I wouldn’t exactly know.”

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.::
