The Student Prince Fluff & drama
If there is one merthur fanfiction you have got to read, this is it.
There is no way I can explain this better than the author herself.
“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…”
Pianos are Made for Falling Angst, fluff, drama, comedy & idk just everything.
Worst fanfiction I’ve ever read. Gross sobbing and gross flailing. When I say worst it’s just because I lay awake the night I finished it crying. but READ IT damn it
“Arthur is a world class violinist, trapped in Sydney, Australia, by his fear of flying. In the wake of a mediocre concert, vicious critics and with barely a month to go before his next (hopefully reputation-saving) recital, Arthur is almost at breaking point. When his accompanist, Morgana, breaks her wrist in a car accident, Arthur is more or less doomed. And the story begins, when the Maestro at the conservatoire, Gaius Stresemann, recommends his protege Merlin Emrys to step in. Merlin, who plays by ear, as he pleases and really just wants to be a kindergarten teacher.”
After The Storm Angst, some love and happiness
