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?

Summary
Morgana is escalating her attempts to see herself on Camelot's throne. When her plan to have Gwen executed or have Arthur leave Camelot with Gwen fails, she decides to cut her losses and poison Arthur. Merlin saves him, of course, and reveals his magic in the process much to Arthur's annoyance. Once the dust has settled things seem to go back to normal, but on a hunting trip gone wrong Arthur's blade gleams with a silvery magic light as he kills the last bandit attacking them. The thing is, Arthur never had magic before Merlin healed him.
