    Summary

    Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.

    Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.

    He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.

    So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.

    (a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)

    Summary

    University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.

    If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?

    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

    Yoo Joonghyuk has been personally victimized by the universe since birth.

    Elevators break for him. Coffee attacks him. Pigeons recognize him as an enemy combatant. Once, a printer jammed so violently it qualified as workplace terrorism.

    Kim Dokja, meanwhile, is so lucky he once won a raffle he didn’t enter and got a free lunch because the cashier “liked his vibes.”

    When Yoo Joonghyuk discovers that Kim Dokja’s mere presence cancels out his catastrophic bad luck, he does the only reasonable thing:

    He offers him six million won to stand nearby.

    Summary

    Jun should've just told Jihoon that he sat at the wrong table for his blind date. He should've told Jihoon his name wasn't Kim Mingyu, and that he was a total stranger.

    Instead, he decides to roll with it.
