Let Me Die, Let Me Drown, Lay My Bones In The Ground by quotidian_void

Summary
The storm that had passed through Albion didn't only bring devastation to Camelot.
It also brought a party belonging to the king, queen and princess of a distant land on the edge of Albion's maps. As per propriety and courtesy, the king of Camelot was required to hold a feast and provide accommodation for them. The feast started off smoothly, the royals of Camelot getting along quite well with the royals from Harden.
But a single question changed everything. Including the destiny and future of Arthur and Merlin.
"And what are your stances on magic?" Uther asked.
It took all Merlin had not to tense up.

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
“I was wondering if you might come home with me.” Merlin stops mid-rant and stares at him, and then down at his panini again, and back at Arthur. This is a panini of lies and pain. He can tell already.
“For Christmas? I’ve got an uncle and a mother and a sister waiting for me at home, in case you hadn’t remembered, I’m not going home with you just because you’re a workaholic.”
“No, it’s. My mum might be under the impression that we’re a little bit married.”
In which Merlin gets conned into spending Christmas with Arthur's family and pretending to be his husband, because somehow this is his life.

Summary
In Bernards defence, this was the only way he could think of to get Tim to admit he's Robin. The fact he started a conspiracy channel was mostly a sidenote.
Or: Bernard doesn't like lying to Tim, so he needs Tim to admit he's Robin. Clearly, the only logical solution is to annoy Tim via conspiracy theories. Connor gets caught in the crossfire, sort of.

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Summary
“You want me to help you do what?!”
Bernard looked at Tim like he was completely insane, which was slightly valid but also extremely hypocritical.
“I want you to help me fabricate emails between myself and Jason Todd to convince Bruce Wayne that I was actually friends with his dead son so I can gain access to their family.” Tim felt like this wasn’t exactly a big deal.

Summary
“You’re okay,” Bernard is whispering, his voice low and husky, and his eyes flit over the stage, looking for danger, for the way out. “It’s okay,”Fuck. Tim doesn’t need saving, but Bernard is shoved up against him, draped over him protectively, and the tightly coiled anxiety that lives rent free in Tim’s chest is starting to unroll and relax, purring under the weight of hehe big strong muscles protecting me. Fuck. Steph is never gonna let him live this down.

Tim almost gets shot during a public speech, which is a pretty average Tuesday. Being rescued by his civilian boyfriend, however, is not.

Summary
There’s not really a point in owning a car, especially with the cost of insurance. With the threat of student debt looming overhead like a cloud, Bernard can’t afford to buy a car without help, and there’s no way he’ll ever ask Tim.
So Bernard doesn’t really drive. He’s happy to let his weirdly specific driving skills get swept under the rug, because the thing he has with Tim still feels delicate and new, and he doesn’t want to ruin it by bringing up that his uncle was in a gang and hey, he just happened to teach Bernard how to drive. Bernard wants to avoid any kind of conversation around crime in Gotham, actually. Especially after what happened in high school.
It’s not like he’s ever going to need to drive a getaway car, anyway. As far as Bernard is concerned, it’ll never come up.
Bernard learned to drive from his henchman uncle. The last place he expects to use this skill is at a dinner with his boyfriend's family.
