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
Rodney doesn’t like the new guy.
Could be the sunglasses. Or the hair. He looks like he belongs in a sports bar or a motorcycle convention—or wherever men like that go. But he definitely does not belong at Rodney’s Mensa chess night.
“I’m John,” the guy says, offering a hand.
Of course. A generic, second-class action hero name. Fitting.
“Doctor Rodney McKay,” Rodney replies, begrudgingly shaking his hand. “Double PhD.”
He usually just goes by Rodney here, but something about John makes him feel like he has to establish dominance early.

Summary
For the rest of his life, John was never quite certain of why exactly he didn’t immediately explain that there had been a mix-up and that he was not the John this man was looking for - with Star Wars reference very much intended - and instead allowed his mouth to just flop open, like a baby cuckoo, and request that his coffee be black, no sugar.

Summary
He's not the John Sheppard who Rodney met in the other universe, who had a place in the world and his very own McKay in his bed.

Summary
John Sheppard has feelings. Even though he tries really hard to not have them at all.
And then there's Rodney and the Second Childhood thing...Podfic is available! See Chapter 2.
