   Summary

   To mess with a dragon's treasure is the epitome of foolishness. To be a dragon's treasure is a double-edged honor foolishly refused.

   Or

   Merlin finds a new way to protect his most important person just when he needs it; too bad he looks a little too terrifying to be any sort of comfort.

   COMPANION FIC TO A DRAGON'S TREASURE, but can be read alone if desired.
