Summary
Canon era, canon divergent featuring BAMF!Merlin, irritatingly confusing Kilgharrah, mentally exhausted Arthur, and a very impatient Morgause.
Growing up in isolation with his father and a handful of druids, Merlin has been trained in the arts of magic and self defense. He's also good with a sword, knows how to evade the enemy and is quite literally dying of boredom. NOTHING exciting ever happens aside from the stories his father tells him of days long past about the evils of the outside world.
All this changes when a chance encounter leads Merlin to save Arthur Pendragon’s life. He soon discovers he's got a shared destiny with the pratty prince. (who does not like his magic, not one bit)Merlin thought his life was boring before, now he's not sure what to think. In a matter of a few weeks, he's met a dragon, promised to set him free, and may or may not have been tasked with usurping the king! He's managed on his own for this long, what's the worst that could happen? He spends the rest of his life alone, that's what!

Summary

Desperate for help, Uther goes to The Great Dragon. In exchange for his freedom, Kilgharrah tells the king that to help Arthur learn to control his magic, he needs the son of The Last Dragonlord. That their destinies lie together, and the future of Albion depends upon them. Uther must change his attitude toward magic and learn to accept his son for who he truly is.

"It's one day, Arthur," Uther said. "You can't expect to have him at your side every waking minute.""No, but I expect him to show up to do his job instead of spending all day in the tavern!" Arthur exclaimed.
"That's enough," Uther said sternly. "If Merlin wants to spend the day in the tavern, you will let him. In fact, he can go every other day if he wishes to."
