Summary
Merlin has waited for Arthur for sixteen hundred years. Like always, he's having a bit of trouble waking the Once And Future King up from his slumber. But he's been waiting too long to give up now...
This is how I imagine life would go on when Arthur rises again in a Future Britain. I've tried my best to keep canonical context, with the exception of shipping Merlin and Arthur as an actual couple. This is my attempt to continue the [much more than] bromancey relationship of Arthur Pendragon and his faithful servant and warlock who tries his best to help Arthur adjust to life in a world he doesn't understand. It's angsty, slashy, and filled with necessary comic relief, just like in the good old days of Camelot. Like their Once and Future King, many beloved BBC Merlin characters will rise again. I hope you will all join me in welcoming them back from the land of the dead to the realm of the living that needs them now more than ever.

Summary
Short version: Merlin Emrys is the ethereal, enigmatic frontman of Albion Revisited. Arthur Pendragon thinks he hates music. As usual, he is completely wrong about everything.
Long Version: Arthur's half-sister Morgana is a member of Albion Revisited, destined to become one of the most extraordinary bands ever to come out of Glastonbury. Arthur reluctantly allows her band to play in his club, The Rising Sun, even though he thinks music is a pointless waste of time and his club is a pretentious wine bar [Morgana's words] not a venue for shitty Ren-Faire-reject music [his words]. Things are about to change. Especially when he claps eyes on the lead singer and creative mind behind the band: a lanky young man with otherworldly eyes who looks at Arthur as if he can see straight into his soul. The music the enigmatic stranger plays ensorcels Arthur Pendragon against his will--it's like Magic. Real Magic. He's never met anyone like Merlin Emrys before. Or has he? His mind says one thing--his heart says another. Which part of him will win out?
