Summary
To that woman at the shop, Merlin is going home to someone who loves him. The Merlin in her mind might spend the night eating cheap Chinese takeaway with Arthur, arms curled around each others’ shoulders while they watch a film. Merlin surprises him with a special Assam blend. Arthur hops in the shower with him and runs his fingers through his hair. They fall asleep together, and Arthur makes him truly atrocious eggs on toast in the morning, and Merlin gets to be loved back.
Suddenly, Merlin wants to live in that world. He wants it so badly he feels sick.
(Or: Merlin tells his coworkers that Arthur is his boyfriend. Predictably, it backfires).

Summary
Ancient Melody: An old druidic slang term referring to the Call to Destiny. All people will experience this calling at some point in their lives, with many druids describing this as sounding like an enchanting song. Those who try ignoring it will often find that they cannot do so for very long.
A travelling bard is a wonderful guise for a druid. They go wherever they wish, never staying in one place for long enough to be found out. However, like all druids, Wren has avoided Camelot like to plague for fear of being caught.
However, when she learns Merlin, her childhood best friend, is in Camelot after his own Call to Destiny, Wren decides it’s time to go too.
She’s been ignoring her destiny, her call for far too long out of fear. But now, she knows it’s time to listen. Time to follow that Ancient Melody to Camelot and see where it leads her.

Terrified of what it means and convinced he will destroy the most important relationship in his life, Arthur struggles to bury feelings that only grow stronger with time. But Merlin has always known Arthur better than anyone—and when the truth finally comes out, Arthur discovers he may not be the only one who has been keeping secrets.
