Summary:
They say life is full of second chances. Eggsy should know, he was given one when Harry proposed him during the candidate trials. But how many second chances does one get in a lifetime?
Decades after Poppy Adams and the loss of a very special person, Eggsy is proposed as Arthur by his predecessor, Harry. While the crown may be heavy on the head, it’s his only shot at living a relatively normal life, and repairing his estranged relationship with his teenage son, Lee. He expects it to be as rocky as it sounds, while also juggling his new title and a candidate trial to fill his retired seat as Galahad.
What he doesn’t expect is one of the candidates proposed to have the face of the man he loved. One who died years ago. The face of the late Merlin, only 25 years younger.
One could imagine the shock and devastation Eggsy felt, even more so once the young man’s memories surface and Eggsy has to come to terms with more than just second chances.
