Arthur rises from the Lake of Avalon in what is Albion, and the world's, greatest time of need. Can Merlin protect him while he fights for his new destiny, or will the legend of the Once and Future King be lost forever in the wake of the apocalypse. Set post-5X13. Merlin/Arthur romance, friendship, and some juicier stuff later on...

By the side of Avalon, Merlin waits for the return of the Once and Future King. It is not until thousands of years later that the time of Albion comes again. By then Merlin has been turned bitter by time. The twenty-first century is a mystery to Arthur, so Merlin must teach him the ways of society. Things may be a little alien to Arthur - even Merlin. Can Arthur get Merlin back?
