What happens next?
I live that he holds his heart in more ways than one.

Very interesting. Love a mystery.

Awwwwww that's really cute!

Awww this is so cute! I'd love to see a sequal- maybe Arthur meeting Hunith or Gaius' reaction to Arthur's return with Merlin in tow!

What a great story. A little sad it is over. Would love to see what happens to these two in Camelot.
Many thanks. Enjoyed the read.

I really enjoyed your explanation of the dragon heart, how it got stolen and how it controls Merlin. It reminds me a lot of the Inheritance Cycle books.

The romance? or feelings? development kind of came out of nowhere, I think you may want to tone it down or add more interactions for them. I agree they may feel trust or interest, but this intense is unusual without the soulmate universe thing.
I'd enjoy hearing more about Merlin's early transformations and learning how to fly and all.
Can he still do magic as a dragon?
It might be good to tie in some Dragon lord history, maybe with the males being able to become dragons and the females passing on the line...or the females/wife being the best to control the heart...like the wife/girlfriend automatically gets control when she meets her dragon mate.

I knew it! So fitting for Merlin to actually be a dragon. And for Arthur to think he's being secretive but for Merlin to still see straight through it.

I can't wait to see what comes next.
I do hope you can do a companion piece or something with Freya in this universe...I'd like a twist where she could turn into a unicorn or something, maybe a siren?

This was excellent! I'm so excited to learn what happens next! Just a quick thing, Merlin has blue eyes, not brown. Was that intentional? Sorry to nitpick...But, other than that, this was fantastic! Well done!
