"I do not need to sleep or eat," he said again.
"But you can sleep, right? A short nap can go a long way. Maybe that's why you get these moods of yours - you're cranky."
"I am not cranky," The Outsider huffed. "And you are getting much too comfortable with teasing me."

Summary
Merlin hates it when there are visiting nobles in Camelot.
He hates the frantic scrubbing that starts days before their arrival—servants on hands and knees polishing stones no one will think to look at, tapestries beaten free of dust that will settle again by morning, silverware counted and recounted as though a missing spoon might spark a war.
He hates the way the castle stops feeling like home.
And he especially hates Arthur during these visits.

Summary
Okay, Merlin’s gonna take the blame this time. This one’s on him. Definitely. No two ways about it. He’s big enough to admit he screwed up. He is! This one’s definitely on him. Absolutely not a question about it.
In his defense, what was he supposed to do when he saw a sorcerer with a magic circle around a dragon’s egg chanting ominously as a bunch of storm clouds formed overhead, not run into the middle and push it out?
Yeah, as if.

Summary
“You know,” the prince started, and Merlin grunted in frustration, turning away. Princes were always the same, “I don’t appreciate you talking about my father like that.”
Merlin stopped and narrowed his eyes, before slowly looking back at the prince. He studied the prince's face intently.
“And who, exactly, would your father be?” he asked, fury crackling through the calm sounding words. He was not in the mood to be played with by a prince.
“Uther Pendragon,” the prince said calmly.
Merlin’s tail lashed so hard against the rock next to him a large piece of it chipped off, rocketing through the air and over the edge of the mountain.
---
Merlin was cursed to be a dragon, which was fine. It was fine, he was fine, he was happy, thank you very much. Everything was great.
Except for all these knights and princes that kept bothering him. That, that was not fine. It was annoying. It definitely wasn't the only human interaction he ever got, he was fine.
So if this odd group of knights and their king would leave, that would be wonderful.

Summary
It's 2024, and Merlin is still alive. He's been alive all this while, for fifteen hundred years, fifteen sodding centuries.
He's forsaken his destiny. Prophecy be damned.
Waiting for his King's return had left him lonely and broken. He's done with this waiting bullshit.
But perhaps, in a cruel twist of fate, his destiny is not done with him just yet.
In a cruel-er twist of fate, Arthur returns to Merlin, except he doesn't seem to remember Merlin at all.
(Now with extra epilogues!)
