Set in the BBC Merlin universe -- Post Series 5 finale
************
When King Arthur Pendragon steps out of the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death on its shores, he discovers a world unlike the one he knew. Even Merlin, looking like an old man and prattling on in a language he doesn't understand, is strange and unknowable - even after he changes back into the man Arthur remembered as he lay dying.
Over the next days, as Arthur desperately tries to process the loss of everyone he loved, and face the threat of impending prophecy, he discovers what it means not just to be the king, but the Once and Future King.
Merlin does all he can to help as Arthur struggles, even as he himself desperately tries to hide his love for his king, his tenuous grip on the ancient magics, and his bone-deep fear of losing Arthur again.

Two bullets.
Our lives would never be the same."
