    Pacific Rim...Tintin Style by

    Summary

      Borrowing ideas from the movie Pacific Rim and the classic Adventures of Tintin series, this story imagines Tintin, Haddock and other familiar faces in a world were giant, alien monsters and man-made metal warriors duke it out for ownership of the Earth. There's also a mystery in there somewhere.

      Don't worry crossover haters! I'm one of you. It's really more AU...that is...er...look, just read it. You can send me rotten tomatoes if you don't like it.

    The Student Prince by

    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.::
