Summary: Harry Hart, multiple award-winning playwright and screenwriter and sometime actor, has occasionally had lapses in judgment. The biggest one of late had been an ill-considered relationship with the young and not-so-talented actor, Charlie Hesketh. It's awards season, Harry's nominated for several BAFTAs, and so is Charlie. Merlin, Harry's best friend since their teenage years, and his agent, is insisting that Harry needs to bring someone prettier, younger, and more talented as his arm candy for all the red carpet events coming on during Awards Season.

And he has just the young actor in mind - Eggsy Unwin, recent RADA graduate (with honors), has been getting the rawest of deals from his own agent, Chester King. Merlin knows that Eggsy will appeal to Harry for many reasons, and offers Eggsy a representation contract if he just goes to meet a client of his - no other strings attached.

Title: When Tomorrow Comes - The Secret History of Neal Caffrey - Chapter Three of Three
Author: elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan / elrhiarhodan
Fandom: White Collar, Kingsman (Movies)
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Merlin, Eggsy Unwin, Roxy Morton, Other Kingsman Characters
Word Count: ~3900 (this chapters)
Spoilers: Spoilers for Season 6 of White Collar, Not Canon Compliant with Kingsman - The Golden Circle
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Summary: Picking up immediately after Simply Irresistible, Merlin has everyone dancing through hoops, Neal gets an unpleasant surprise at the shop, and Eggsy's not so thrilled, either. Roxanne is as awesome as always. But at the end of the day, Neal Caffrey is going to be Tristan, and that's all that matters, right?

Chapter Summary: Eggsy is asked to show Neal around Kingsman HQ. Eggsy would rather be doing anything else, like eating glass.

Author’s Note: My apologies for taking so long to get this story out of my head and onto the page. I really didn't expect it to take thirteen months to write this, but 2018 has been a truly terrible year for me and I'm glad it's coming to an end.

The story is complete but lengthy (these fics just get longer and longer), so it's posting in chapters. And while I've tried to reference as much of the previous stories in the series, it will probably make more sense if you've read them all, especially A Seat at the Table and Simply Irresistible.

Series: Part 7 of The Secret History of Neal Caffrey
Summary: Picking up right from the end of Calling in the Favor, Merlin listens to Neal's request for another shot at becoming a Kingsman and he likes the idea quite a bit. But there are still rules that need to be followed. And Merlin still has games to play.

Merlin finishes his drink and sets down his glass. He leans forward and gets down to business. "What do you want, Neal?"

"I want another shot. I bet you're recruiting right and left these days and I want to be a Kingsman. That's my favor and I'm calling it in."

Author's Notes: Although Neal is present in the first part of the story, this is mostly a Kingsman story, told initially from Merlin's point of view, and then Eggsy's. I wanted to explore their reactions – particularly Eggsy's – to Neal Caffrey, before he actually meets him. There's quite a bit of White Collar canon buried in the second part of the story and a little bit of my own personal fanon about Neal and Peter.

Also, the first time writing anything from Merlin's point of view.

And frankly, how the hell did this story balloon to nearly 8K and three chapters? These stories are supposed to be short bits that I bang out in a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon? Well, I hope you enjoy. Thank you theatregirl7299 for the beta! Un-Brit-Picked, though.

Remaining chapters will go up on Wednesday and Saturday
