Summary:
Future AU. After a seeing-stone washes up on the shores of Ealdor, the last Island left after the great floods and rising Ocean, Merlin sees their salvation - a Sky City named Camelot. When he wakes up on the shores of the Sky City, Merlin starts to realise the New World is nothing as it was fabled. It is then that Merlin begins his journey to meet the 'dragon' that called him there, realising that nothing in Camelot is what it seems. Together they begin a revolution against a blind king and the foundations the New World was built on, uncovering even deeper secrets that were thought to be buried with the Old World when the land sunk.
It doesn’t matter if you're in the Merlin fandom, or if you're a Arthur/Merlin shipper, if you like futurfic/reincarnation!fic or not, but Hell you should read this.
It can be read as an independent story; only vague knowledge of the Arthurian legend is enough to enjoy it. You know who was Merlin, and Arthur you’re good to go.
And the slash is really not the point of the story, so even if you’re not a shipper, it’s a worthy story (I mean, there is three chapters, and only one where Arthur & Merlin interact, so, like you see, not the point).
THIS IS THE MOST EPIC PIECE I READ IN A LONG, LONG TIME, AND IF YOU LIKE SCYFY, DYSTOPIA AND POST APOCALYPTIC UNIVERSE IN WHICH MAGIC AND SCIENCE CO-EXIST, AND WHERE HUMANITY HIDE IT'S DARKEST SIDE UNDER THE GUISE OF THE GREATER GOOD, THEN YOU SHOULD READ IT, LIKE RIGHT NOW.
