Rec!
And it’s a free read! You can’t go wrong!
Love Merlin? Love Arthur? Wonder what they’d be like as college roommates? Like endearing snarky humor and lots of UST that turns into RST (eventually) and terrific characterization? Then you have to read:
THE STUDENT PRINCE by FayJay
A Modern day Merlin alternate universe 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...
Now here’s the thing--this is apparently fanfic based on the current series on… BBC, I think? which I haven’t watched (but will hopefully get around to… um, someday). Except I didn’t know that when I read it, and the really brilliant thing is that I couldn’t tell while I was reading it. So if you’ve never seen the series, it doesn’t matter. If you have, I bet it doesn’t matter then, either.
The whole cast of characters is there, and though you'll think you know what they'll do and where it's going, trust me, you won't--but in a really good way! It’s sweet, it’s sometimes a bit raunchy, it’s funny, it’s absorbing, and it’s--with no derisive roll of the eyes or curl of the lip--terribly cute. I was happy when I finished it. I was smiling. I wished I’d paid for it as some kind of token of appreciation to the author. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this story. So if you want a feel-good free read that’s really the size of a decent novel, ones like this don’t come along very often. I hope you read it and I hope you enjoy. :)
