The Thing That Happens to Other People by inkvoices “Did you serve in Afghanistan or Iraq?” the man clarifies, steepling his fingers under his chin so that he looks like he’s praying for patience, and John reminds himself that he only has to attend six obligatory sessions with a psychiatrist.This fic made me smile. :-)

The Student Prince by FayJay
May. 29th, 2013 10:26 pmI was on Goodreads chasing up a list Best Fantasy Books with Gay Main Characters and followed up the link to the Captive Prince, an Original fic I've already recc'd. Five other books/reads were recommended, one being The Student Prince, which I realised was a Merlin based modern AU, so I read it.
The Student Prince by FayJay. 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... It's well known in the Merlin fandom, it's on Fanlore, it's a podfic and it's delightfully and utterly British through and through. It is well worth a read whether you are aware of the BBC TV show Merlin or not as it is very well written and a total pleasure to read.
