Why this must be read:

If this story had a subtitle, it would be "A Boy and His Dragon." The fic is really about Merlin and Kilgarrah and their changing relationship as dragon and dragonlord. What I really love about it, is watching their friendship grow from the semi-antagonism and Merlin commanding Kilgarrah at the beginning to real compassion and care for each other by the end. Kilgarrah is one of the two people who know who Merlin is completely, someone that Merlin doesn't have to protect, but rather who will protect him.

The story is set post-seaosn 3 because the knights are mentioned, but there are no real spoilers.
