With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet (8,243 Words) by 0hHeyThereBigBadWolf
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: There is another dragon in Camelot. Arthur doesn't know if it is the other one's mate or its offspring. He doesn't care. The only thing he cares about is that it has taken Merlin away from him. He'll have it's head for that, one way or another.
The issue with that, however, is that the dragon has not eaten Merlin. The dragon is Merlin. It seems being a Dragonlord has its downfalls.

Wishing It True (5,250 Words) by schweet_heart
Rating: Explicit
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Arthur
Summary: Part of Merlin’s charm has always been his absolute inability to understand his own importance, and yet there are times when Arthur wants to grab him by his overlarge ears and shake him, rattle his brain around in that thick skull until the scales fall from his eyes and he can finally see what’s going on right in front of him.
Or: five times Arthur fantasised about having sex with Merlin, and the one time it actually came true.
