Summary
The creatures stepped forward, long, narrow muzzles agape. The sun did not deter them, merely setting their subtle scales agleam. Thick saliva dripped from their jaws, smattering on the ground, yet they did not lunge forward to strike. Instead, they waited, their gaze unblinking as they stared.
At first, Arthur thought they watched the knights, but when he shifted his stance, their eyes did not follow him, Instead, it was someone behind him who held them captivated.
Merlin.
-----
A chance encounter with a monster in the woods makes Arthur realise just how powerful Merlin's magic is, and the lengths he would go to in order to keep him safe.

'The druids said that you must protect me until I become king. They said nothing about after.'
Merlin stuck out his chin, his eyes flashing in his pale face as his brow drew down. 'I'm not going anywhere,' he promised. 'You can bring magic back to Camelot or not, Arthur, but I'm not leaving you once the crown's on your head. You're stuck with me.'

'What do you see?' Arthur's murmur pressed against the shell of Merlin's ear, so low that he almost didn't hear it. Warm breath ghosted over his skin, and he glanced his way, delighted anew by the honest, bashful intrigue that gleamed in Arthur's blue eyes.

On Samhain, when the veil between worlds is thinnest, Merlin sees more than most.

No matter what happened, whether Ygraine's soft promises came to pass or not, Merlin would be right there at Arthur's side.
For all the rest of his days.

'What happened to you?'
Merlin grimaced. He must look worse than he realised for Arthur to sound like that: genuinely aghast, as if he thought Merlin might collapse at any moment. It wasn't that bad. He'd wiped the worst of the mud and blood off.
'Gaius needed herbs.'
Sometimes all it take is a little tender loving care to shift the balance of friendship into something more.

Bookmarker's Notes
He turned over Merlin's hand, careful of his wrist as he examined his palm, then eyed the scratches across Merlin's skin. 'People are going to think I beat you.'
'That's really not what people think you do to me.'

Summary
'Who on earth taught you that?' Arthur narrowed his eyes, noticing the way Merlin suddenly looked more than a little bit shifty. 'I wouldn't think there were many tutors of the classics out in Ealdor.'
'Um...'
It was tragic, really, that every single person in the room knew what that tone of voice meant. It was the one Merlin had used when he'd mentioned being a Dragon Lord, or admitted to offering to trade his life for Arthur's on more than one occasion. It implied that Merlin suspected they wouldn't like the answer.

Summary
'Very well. The draconic powers in Balinor's bloodline were particularly strong. Your father's were weak through ignorance and lack of use, but your great-grandfather's were renown. One of his abilities, which he discovered unexpectedly and to great surprise one day, was to take on a dragon's form. I merely wondered if the power remained.' Kilgharrah tilted his head like an inquisitive bird, his stare seeming to pierce Merlin's skin and look deeper, hunting between the bars of his ribs for something unseen.
'You're asking if I can turn into a dragon?'
