Summary: The Prince of Wales at his school. Merlin was sure it was all just a very bad joke.
Author's notes: Thank you to the_muppet for once again running a near-flawless fest with astonishing patience, good humor, and really hard work! Another thank you to my wonderful artist ambelie for her beautiful work.
Enormous thanks go to anna_zee, who has been helping me figure out this story from the moment I started it almost two years ago all the way until the final edit at 1 o'clock this morning. This would be a giant mess without her, no lie. Huge thanks as well to chelseafrew for betaing and also putting up with my constant need to be scribbling at all times this summer. And a grateful shout out to stellarmeadow, lawgoddess, gwylliondream, and gilli_ann for the support and camaraderie.
