"He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be, and if all else remained, and we were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. He’s always, always in my mind; not as a pleasure to myself, but as my own being."

Kilgharrah calls for Merlin two weeks after Morgause's siege, Merlin hadn't known he could do that but he answered the Dragon's call anyway, curious.
At least Camelot's re-introduction to Magic was going well, as was Morgana's penance, she found comfort in helping Gaius with his rounds, apologizing for her actions under Morgause and tending those with illnesses or injuries. Gwen often helped her with Percival, Leon or Elyan trailing behind them.
Sometimes Merlin and Lancelot joined them but they were often called to Arthur's Council room to help with Magical issues, Lancelot for advice and Merlin to unravel whatever had been done.
As it was, Lancelot was on patrol with Gwaine and Leon to make sure the Druids and Outer Villages were aware that having and practicing certain Magics was no longer punishable by death.
"Merlin." Kilgharrah greeted when Merlin arrived.
"What did you want, Kilgarrah?" Merlin asked.
"I have long since thought I was the last of my kind, I was wrong, I have found an egg in a distant region." Kilgharrah said.
"That's great, I can't wait to meet them." Merlin grinned up at the golden Dragon.
"And meet them you shall, for only a Dragonlord can call a Hatchling from their egg." Kilgharrah informed him, "It will take several days to get there."
"Oh." Merlin said, "Let's go then."
Kilgharrah nodded and bent down for Merlin to climb upon his back, then they leapt into the sky, on their way.
Most of the flight was quiet, Merlin taking his sleep in Kilgharrah's claws to avoid falling to his death when night came.
"While I have you here, I want to ask if you can breath fire on another Sword?" Merlin asked.
"And why would I do that, in the wrong hands it can do great harm." Kilgharrah reminded him.
"I want to give it to Lancelot." Merlin admitted.
"Ah." Kilgharrah said as he landed, "You wish to court the knight."
"No, yes, I mean, we've been courting, ever since he first arrived in Camelot." Merlin blushed a little.
"It'd be an anniversery gift, for his Knighthood." Merlin explained.
"He has not been a knight very long." Kilgharrah said as they approached a small cave.
"Not his Camelot Knighthood, his Old Religion one." Merlin climbed Kilgharrah's foreleg to get to the opening of the cave, too small for Kilgharrah to fit.
"So, he is a Knight of the Old Code."
Merlin nodded and looked up at Kilgharrah, "Please?"
Kilgharrah nodded, "Very well, a Knight who can swear the Old Oath of Knighthood is rare indeed. Bring me a blade and I will temper it with my flame."
"Thank you." Merlin hugged Kilgharrah's side before entering the cave to find the egg.
It was hidden behind a handful of enchantments that Merlin gently detangled. The egg was a soft blue with purple streaks through it. Merlin picked it up with great care and walked back to Kilgharrah.
"Now you call the Hatchling forth by speaking their name." Kilgharrah instructed.
Melin let his eyes close and searched for the name of the Dragon, only, he was hearing two names.
"Elpis, Efrosyni." Merlin called and opened his eyes to the cracking of the egg, smiling as two little tails flopped out.
"I have never witnessed a twin pair of Dragons." Kilgharrah said in awe as Merlin coaxed the two little ones into his arms, "Which is which?"
Merlin looked at Kilgharrah, "The blue is Elpis, her name means hope, and the purple is Efrosyni, her name means joy. It suits them."
Merlin giggled as Elpis nipped at his fingers.
"We'd better get back to Camelot." Merlin said, " Lancelot should be back by now."
"You will have to keep the Hatchlings with you, I have other places to search, and I am much too old to keep up with young Dragons." Kilgharrah told Merlin.
"Okay." Merlin said as he tucked the two Hatchlings into his shirt, against his chest, figuring the tiny Dragons would appriciate his warmth.
Within moments the Hatchlings were asleep against his chest, hatching was hard work.
"We should feed them when they wake up." Merlin said.
"Yes, but they will sleep for the trip to Camelot, hatching can be a tiring process." Kilgharrah said as he lifted Merlin up to his back.
Merlin cast a small heating spell to keep the winds' chill from his Hatchlings and hummed a lullaby his Mother had sang to him as a child.
Eventually Camelot came into view and Merlin parted ways with Kilgharrah after he kindly caught a deer for the twins' first meal, laughing at the face Merlin made when he learned he'd have to half chew their meet for a few weeks, luckly they would not come to harm from cooked meat since a Dragon would often roast their food with their fire.
High on energy from the meal Elpis and Efrosyni jumped and danced around Merlin as he walked back to the Castle, climbing up onto his shoilders as he reached the lower town from the forest.
"Where have you been, Merlin?!" Lancelot yelled as Merlin entered the courtyard, the Knights of the Round Table geared up for what was probably meant as a rescue for Merlin.
"Are those Dragons?" Gwen squealed, "They're so cute."
The group looked at the two Hatchlings.
"So, Lancelot is like most of impulse control, I may or may not have gone off with an Elder Dragon to hatch two baby Dragons." Merlin admitted.
Lancelot looked at the two Dragonlings and they stared back.
Lancelot sighed, "Sire, we're going to need a bigger room."
"We?" Merlin asked.
Lancelot smiled as he took Merlin's hand and brought it up to his lips, pressing a kiss to his knuckles.
"We." Lancelot confirmed.
Elpis chirped and glided over to Lancelot's shoulder.
"Hello, you." Lancelot scratched her head.
"Her name is Elpis, but she likes being called Ellie." Merlin told him, "And this little mischief maker is Efrosyni, Effie for short." Merlin cuddled Effie against his cheek.
"Hope and Joy." Morgana said softly, "Very good names for a new beginning."
"If they eat anyone..." Arthur trailed off unsure how to end the threat as Gwen and Morgana both stepped forward to coo at the Hatchlings, "Why is this my life?"
"Well, it's never boring." Gwaine offered, as Ellie sneezed and let of a burst of sparks.
"We'll get Gaius and Geoffery to look up fireproofing spells." Elyan said and pulled Percival along with him.
"But I wanted to pet the Dragon." The knight whined, even as he let himself be pulled along.
Eventually Lancelot, Merlin and the two Hatchlings would be settled in one of the towers, which was great once the two started flying, they could come and go as they pleased, Merlin too, once he learned how to change his shape.
But for now Merlin lets Lancelot pull him into his rooms amd tucks the two Hatchlings between them, laying a heating spell on the blankets to make the Dragonlings comfy. In the morning Langelot would watch with disgust as Merlin chewed Ellie and Effie's food for them but would do the same at the dinner they shared with Arthur and the other knights.
He had chosen Merlin, just as the man had chosen him and if a life with Merlin involved Dragon Hatchlings and and half chewed meat then so be it.
--
A/n: is this an excuse for Merlin and Lancelot to raise baby dragons? Yep.
For those that care Merlin's gone like a week or so without telling anyone.
The names come from Greek.
Elpis — Hope
Efrosyni — Joy, mirth

500 word last minute work for @merlinmicrofic - fill for the prompt 'hunger/hungry', Merlin/Lancelot, teen, no warnings
Also fills the square 'breakfast' on my @merlinbingo card!
Snippet:
Arthur’s grown used to getting himself out of bed, shouting for a passing servant to fetch water for his morning wash. He's accustomed to selecting his own clothing when Merlin is particularly unpunctual, and on occasion he’s even been required to dress himself.
Breakfast, though. Merlin is always here before breakfast, if only so he can help himself to Arthur's meal.
Where is his manservant, and where the hell is his breakfast?

Do any of you have some good headcannons/ ideas for superstitions about twins in the Old Religion?
Its a Fem!Merlin fic, she gives birth to twins (G/B).
And it's considered a blessing that the girl was born first. But I want to expand on that. If any of you have ideas for superstitions or beliefs the Druids might have I would appreciate it.

living for the hope of it all
for @kairenn-n
Merlin/Lancelot | 1,238 | Gen | no archive warnings apply
It goes like this --
Merlin wakes up one day and catches himself looking at Lancelot, tracing the curve of his jaw, and thinks, if Arthur was not a religion that I've willingly pledged myself to, then maybe. . . maybe it could've been you.

"It was forged in a Dragon's fire." Merlin grinned at Lancelot.
There was alot Lancelot wanted to ask about that, like how Merlin got close enough to a Dragon's fire and lived to tell about it but Merlin was already handing the Dragon's blade to him and taking Lancelot's.
"You're better off using it, Kilgarrah will have to sulk about it." Merlin told him.
Again Lancelot had questions, like the Dragon had a name and it was still alive, but those would have to wait since he had a Warlock to protect.
Lancelot decided he liked the Dragon's blade and he wondered if he could request his own, surely the one in his hand had been meant for someone else, likely Arthur, but it felt right in his hand as Lancelot defended Merlin from the Immortals' swords.
Then they were in the throne room and they should have known it would be guarded.
Lancelot looked at Merlin and nodded, the Dragon's Sword ready as they continued, so focused were they on getting to the Cup that they didn't register the sound of the warning bell ringing as they fought.
Lancelot letting out a gasp as he took a hit to his shoulder, luckly not on his sword arm.
Merlin looked at him but Lancelot shook his head, motioning to the Cup, he'd be okay, the others might not be.
Merlin knocked the Cup from its podium as the doors burst open, the men whose blood now spilled across the throne room floor exploding in bright light as the Cup clattered to the ground.
A shout of rage left Morgause and she threw Merlin at a wall.
Lancelot forced himself up to get between them when Merlin laid on the floor gasping, he hoped nothing was too injured, Lancelot had seen men be thrown like that and never walk again, he couldn't let Morgause hurt Merlin.
"Get out of my way, boy." Morgause snarled.
"No." Lancelot said, ignoring Merlin's quiet gasp of his name.
"I am a High Priestess of the Old Religion." The woman smirked as Arthur and the other Knights entered the room from behind the throne and Morgana entered the same door Morgause had, "What do you hope to do against me?"
"Sir Lancelot, your Oath." Merlin said as he shifted to sit against the wall he'd been thrown into.
Lancelot glanced at him, Merlin was giving him the same look he'd given him when he'd Knighted him, so proud, so loving, even as his arm rested across his chest, he likly had several broken ribs.
"Your Oath." Merlin said again.
Lancelot nodded and turned back to Morgause and Morgana, who now stood next to her sister, hand up preventing Arthur and the others from coming to their aid.
"And I am a Knight of the Old Religion," Lancelot said, taking in the way Morgana frowned and Mogause stiffened, "A Knight is sworn to valor, his heart knows only Virtue, his blade defends the helpless, his might upholds the weak, his word speaks only truth, his wrath undoes the Wicked."
As he said the last line Lancelot swung the Dragon's Blade at Morgause while she incanted a spell that hit the Shield Merlin had cast over him.
The Blade hit Morgause in the stomach.
And she laughed, "No mortal blade can kill me!" She shouted.
Lancelot tore the Blade out of her, watched her stumble back.
"Then you should know that this Sword was forged in a Dragon's fire." Lancelot said as he watched her fall.
"NOO!" Morgana screamed as she grabbed at Morgause, her cry echoing against the walls, shaking them, making dust spill down.
"Merlin!" Lancelot cried as he turned to gather him up, the man still sitting on the ground.
"Lancelot." Merlin whispered, "We can't leave Morgana, we can't."
"Percival." Lancelot turned to the large man who had fallen into step next to him, "Grab Morgana."
Thankfully the man did not question him as he grabbed the woman and threw her over his shoulder.
Merlin pressed a hand on her ankle and she screamed as her magic was locked away, though the damage had been done and the Castle still shook.
Lancelot felt the moment Merlin passed out and swung him fully into his arms, Gwaine taking his sword so he could hold Merlin better against him as they ran.
Once in the Courtyard Gwen and Gauis both ran to them as the Castle continued to shake.
"What happened?" Gauis asked as he motioned Lancelot to lay Merlin out.
"Morgause threw him into a wall, it must have hurt him badly because he did not stand back up." Lancelot explained.
"Let me go, you peasent." Morgana shouted as she fought Percival's hold.
"Why did you bring her?" Elyan asked, glaring at the woman.
"Lancelot told me to grab her." Percival shrugged, making Morgana yell more at being jostled.
"Morgana." Arthur said quietly.
Morgana glared at him, "Don't think being my brother will save you."
"I miss you." Arthur said softly, "You used to be my best friend, the person I could confide in, where did that woman go?"
"She never existed." Morgana snarled, "She was lied to and hunted and betrayed."
"Arthur." Merlin said sluggishly as he woke, "The bracelet, I think Morgause enchanted it to manipulate Morgana."
"When did you discover this?" Gauis asked as he forced Merlin to stay laying down.
"When she first stared wearing it, Gwen said she wasn't acting the same, she was restless and quicker to anger, so I researched it and had Lancelot look in to personality enchantments in other kingdoms, sometimes they are used to make opinionated women dolcile." Merlin explained.
"You think Morgause enchanted it to make Morgana angry." Lancelot concluded.
"Yes. The Morgana we knew would never turn on the lower people." Merlin said softly.
Arthur and Gwen looked hopeful.
"Fine." Gwaine said and stormed over to wrestle the bracelet off of Morgana's wrist.
She fought him until the metal was no longer against her skin and then she went still.
Percival pulled her off his shoulder to set her on her feet and followed her down as she crumpled.
"What have I done, Arthur, Arthur, I'm so sorry." Morgana said as she began to sob, "I killed so many people, I tried to kill Uthur!"
"Well, a lot of people have tried to kill Uthur." Merlin joked.
"Merlin!" Gaius scolded, even as he let Lancelot help him sit up so he could wrap his ribs.
"I'm still angry at you!" Morgana shouted at him, being held back from throwing herself at him.
"Yeah, that's fair." Merlin agreed as he put a hand over Lancelot's where he'd grabbed the Dragon's Blade.
Morgana stilled, "'That's fair'?"
"I poisoned you, admittedly it was to break the curse on Camelot that Morgause used you to anchor, but still, I hurt you and it's okay to be mad at me." Merlin told her.
"Oh." Morgana exclaomed softly, "She wouldn't have done that if she really loved me, would she?"
"No, Morgana, she wouldn't have." Gwen said softly as she sat next to her friend.
"I hurt you too." Morgana said, "I'm so sorry, I tried to kill you because I was jealous."
Gwen paused, not sure what to say.
"I'm going to teach you everything you need to know to be a good Queen, and maybe you can forgive me?" Morgana asked, hopefully.
Gwen smiled and pulled her into a hug, "You're going to be my sister when I marry Arthur, I suppose I have to."
They both started to laugh quietly.
Arthur cleared his throat, "Unfortunatly, Morgana did use Magic and Magic is against the Law in Camelot."
"Arthur!" Gwen cried as she clung to Morgana.
"Lancelot." Merlin said, making Lancelot sigh as he stood between Arthur and Morgana, Sword in hand.
"Sir Lancelot." Arthur frowned.
"I can't let you harm her, Sire, it goes against my Oath, she's," Lancelot looked down at her and her fearfilled, teary eyes, before turning back to Arthur, "She's helpless, Sire."
"She's a Witch." Arthur argued.
"I bound her Magic, Arthur, she'll only Dream until I realease her." Merlin said as he stood up, ignoring Gauis' protests, coming to stand with Lancelot.
"Lancelot, you are a Knight of Camelot, stand aside."
"Yes, but I am a Knight of the Old Religion first, I swore an Oath to defend the helpless." Lancelot told him.
"You said something like that to Morgause." Gwaine said thoughtfully, "she seemed unnerved by it."
"Because the Old Code is binding, to go against it is to forfit your life." Gaius explained as he stood to go tend to Uthur, who stared at nothing "When the kings of old realised that many Noble Houses could not survive taking such an Oath they got rid of it's use."
Arthur looked at Lancelot and his position in front of Merlin and Morgana and at Gwen's pleading eyes.
"Fine, but she goes nowhere without an escort, if she does she'll be locked in the dungeons for a week." Arthur said, frustrated.
"What about her Magic and the Law?" Leon asked, having been silent until now.
"Oh, fine, I guess I'm lifting the Magic Ban as well, it wouldn't do to spare only the Royal family, I'm not a hypocrate." Arthur cried out.
"Well, there's one thing in your favor then." Morgana teased.
Arthur pointed a finger at her, "Do not make me regret this, Morgana."
"I won't." Morgana promised as she clung to Gwen.
"As for you Merlin, when were you going to tell me you had Magic?!" Arthur shouted.
"To be fair, I've never told anyone." Merlin said.
"Don't make me put you in the stocks." Arthur threatened.
"Don't make me set my Dragon on you." Merlin countered making everyone turn to look at him.
"I'm sorry, your Dragon?" Gwaine asked.
Merlin paused, "So, um, I may or may not be the Last Dragonlord since my Father Died and I inhereted his powers."
Merlin shrugged and winced as his hand came up to cradle his chest.
"We're going to have a long talk later." Arthur sighed, "For now, let's salvage what we can and make a camp. Merlin, you and Gwen babysit Morgana, Percival, you Babysit Merlin and Gwen."
"Yes, Sire." Percival nodded.
"Everyone else, split up, see what you can find, and be careful." Arthur told them, pleased when they split into pairs without him needing to tell them to.
Gwen stood to help Merlin sit down and pulled him close to her and Morgana.
"So, tell us all about how Sir Lancelot took your virginity, was he sweet and gentle or does that hide a more rougeish nature?" Gwen asked.
"Gwen!" Morgana cried, offended.
Merlin almost sighed in relief at getting out of answering.
"You know you're supposed to start by asking what the first kiss was like." Morgana said and turned to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Well..." Merlin began, knowing there was no escape as even Percival was looking at him curiously.
Eventually they would fall asleep, after giggling over the men they loved or in Morgana's case the knight she was never allowed to pursue, perhaps, in time she might be able to win his heart as he'd always held hers but for now they slept and in the morning a new beginning would rise with the sun.
--
A/n: is this an excuse for Morgana to not be evil? You betcha. Is it also me wondering why Merlin didn't give the Dragon Sword to Lancelot, you know the skilled swordsman, and fixing it? Yep. Yeah I know it was probably Kilgarrah making hin promise but he can just be a sulky Dargon about it. Also Merlin does get Lancelot his own Dragon Blade for the Anniversery of his First Knighthood. The other's whine about it so Merlin teases them by getting them daggers and calls the baby swords since they're being babies about it. They get anniversery Swords too but baby swords first.

@whumptober day 1
“How many fingers am I holding up?” Merlin’s face swam in front of Lancelot. He’d taken a harder hit in the tournament than he’d thought. His head throbbed and his left arm felt like one giant bruise.
“I’m fine, Merlin,” Lancelot assured him.
“That was not an answer.”
“Three?” he guessed.
“Right, you’re going to Gaius. Up you get.”
Merlin lifted Lancelot’s arm over his own shoulders and stood, bringing Lancelot with him.
“You’re stronger than you look, Merlin,” Lancelot said. “Are you cheating?”
Merlin glared at him. “You’re lucky you’re injured or I’d have to smack you for that.”
“You wouldn’t, you like me too much.” The room was spinning a bit, he couldn’t be held responsible for what he said.
Merlin choked on nothing and quickened their pace.
After Gaius had checked him over in the medical tent, Merlin insisted he return to his room to rest, following him in to make sure he was comfortable.
“Merlin, I’m fine, really.” It wasn’t a lie, this time, he really was feeling a lot better. “You don’t have to take care of me.”
Merlin frowned. “Do you want me to leave?”
“Oh, well, no,” Lancelot admitted.
Merlin smiled and pulled a chair to the side of the bed to sit. “Good.”
Lancelot extended his uninjured arm, just a few inches, but Merlin met him in the middle and laced their fingers together.
“You scared me,” Merlin admitted.
“I’m sorry.”
“I forgive you.” Merlin raised Lancelot’s hand to his lips and kissed the knuckles tenderly. “Just heal fast, alright?”
“I’ll see what I can do,” Lancelot agreed with a smile. Really, a bruised body was a small price to pay if it meant he and Merlin could finally stopped dancing around their feelings, really.
“Sleep,” Merlin said.
Lancelot was asleep before the word was even out of his mouth.
