Haha, very cute, and creative. You don't usually see fics exclusively about dragons in this fandom. Your mood icon is adorable as well, what a sweetheart. Ever heard of Trogdor?

Thanks on both counts! Never heard of Trogdor. Should I have?

There was a web cartoon back in 2004 or so, before youtube, called Homestar Runner. In one episode they introduced this dragon called Trogdor the Burninator, then there was a whole spinoff involving that. This was the original. At the time I thought it was really funny, don't know what I'd think now.

I vaguely knew about Homestar Runner, but in 2004 I didn't have a computer that could stream video, believe it or not, so I never saw it.

It's funny because I'm really into Merlin, but I really don't know that much about tv outside of Merlin.

Some of my favorite stories are the ones which describe the everyday things. These are the ones which often go deeper than any h/c or drama could.
This one was it as well. The way you showed the relationship between Kilgharra and Aithusa was moving although it's nothing more than a simple teacher/pupil thing. But if you have been the last of your kind for centuries even simple fishing gets another layer of meaning alltogether.

*bows* Thanks for reading, appreciating and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the "everydayness" of this moment.

It's quite refreshing to see dragons portrayed in a lighter mood -- I always read them as these ancient, sacred magical beings, so I really enjoyed seeing this side of them!

Hurray for Kilgharrah not being so cryptic with his advice for once. And I can almost hear Aithusa's voice, I love it.

(And yay! I started commenting on my bookmarked fics!)

OMG. This feels like a million years ago! Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I always think of the dragons as having a very good sense of humor. Kilgharrah is often pretty ridiculous in Merlin.
