Summary
“I was just listening to music, and I don’t know, it got me thinking. That I love you. And how I just now realized it, which is dumb, since I’ve probably been in love with you forever. And I’m sure most of Camelot knew that, and maybe thinking does hurt my brain,” Arthur nervously stumbles out.
Arthur is revived and brought back into the 21st century. Merlin keeps Arthur entertained by introducing him to different technologies, one by one. Arthur stumbles upon "You're Still The One" by Shania Twain on his newest device, the iPod Nano. He slowly realizes he is in love with Merlin, and has been all along.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
