I really like 'Merlin and the Dragon's Bond'. In this fanfiction, the relationship between Merlin and the dragon is explored in a very deep way. It shows how their bond affects the events in Camelot and Merlin's role in it. There are some really exciting magical battles in it too.
Well, when Merlin speaks dragon language in fanfiction, it might be a way to show his special connection to the magical world. Maybe it's a sign of his growing power. He could use it to unlock hidden secrets or ancient magic that only the dragons know about. This can create really exciting storylines where Merlin is the only one who can communicate with these powerful and ancient creatures.
Common themes include loyalty. The dragon is usually very loyal to Merlin and vice versa. This loyalty is tested in various situations in the fanfictions. Another theme is the battle between good and evil. The dragon and Merlin often team up to fight against the forces of evil in Camelot. And there's the theme of self - discovery. Through his relationship with the dragon, Merlin discovers more about himself, his powers, and his place in the world. For example, in some fanfictions, the dragon reveals hidden aspects of Merlin's magic that he didn't know before.
Well, perhaps Merlin discovers a hidden magic that starts to transform him into a dragon. He might struggle with his new form, trying to control his dragon instincts like the urge to hoard treasure or fly away to a secluded lair.
Well, it's the magic element combined with the dragon's wisdom. In these fanfictions, we often see the dragon imparting knowledge to Merlin that he might not get elsewhere. And the dragon is such a mysterious and powerful creature, which adds to the allure. For example, in many fanfictions, the dragon helps Merlin understand his true potential in a more profound way. Also, the setting of Camelot provides a rich backdrop for all kinds of adventures involving Merlin and the dragon.
Merlin is a must - have main character. He brings his magic and his wisdom from his own story. The Dragon Prince is there as well, representing his own world and its magic. There could also be side characters like the sorcerers or warriors from either of the two original stories. They can help build the world of the fanfic, add conflict, or provide support to the main characters as the story unfolds.
It could be Morgana. She might see Merlin's transformation into a dragon as a threat to her own power and plans. So, she tries to stop him from fully becoming a dragon or tries to use his new form for her own evil purposes.
One popular fanfic might be those that focus on the relationship between Merlin and the Dragon. For example, stories where the Dragon reveals more ancient magic secrets to Merlin. Another could be ones that explore what would happen if Merlin had more direct influence on the Dragon Prince's upbringing. There are also fanfics that might create new adventures for Merlin within the Dragon Prince's world, perhaps teaming up with the Dragon Prince to fight a new, powerful enemy.
One great Merlin dragon fanfiction is 'The Dragon's Bond'. It delves deep into the relationship between Merlin and the dragon, exploring how their connection grows and affects the events in Camelot. Another interesting one could be 'Dragon's Prophecy' which focuses on the prophecies related to the dragon and Merlin's role in fulfilling them. There's also 'Merlin and the Dragon's Quest' where they embark on a journey together to save Camelot from a dark threat.
