Summary
'“I’m pretty sure my stepmother is going to try and set me up at the funeral.”
The silence that followed was really rather uncomfortable. He’d done it this time. He should have just told Merlin months ago that his parents were completely oblivious to the true nature of their living arrangements. It wasn’t fair. He couldn’t do anything properly any more. Not even the one relationship that actually mattered to him.
“OK,” Merlin said eventually. “And you said…?”'
Or, in which Arthur's estranged father dies and his not-entirely-well-meaning stepmother decides to set him up at the funeral, not realising that Arthur is happily settled down with a bloke called Merlin. Morgana disapproves, and Merlin can speak French.
