Summary: Twelve years a Kingsman and Eggsy has his decent post-mission routine down pat. A glass of Scotch, a good steak, and some vigorous sex with a paid professional. But tonight, for some reason, he breaks his routine after the Scotch and the steak, and heads to a dance club on Old Compton Street in Soho. Standing at the bar and watching all the pretty boys twirling on the dance floor, he notices someone drop something into a drink left behind on the bar. A drink belonging to a rather lovely young Scotsman with brilliant blue eyes.

The evening might have ended most satisfactorily in a bed, but he'd made the mistake of offering to listen to the young man's story.

Or, as Albert Einstein once said, "Coincidences are G-d's way of remaining anonymous".

Author’s Notes: As I noted in the AO3 tags, this is all eggsyobsessed's fault in creating a lovely OMC and fancasting Richard Madden. She'd given me permission to play in her SebWin sandbox, but instead, I decided to riff on the idea of an older Eggsy - just not quite as old as her magnificent version - and a different kind of meet-cute, but with plenty of good single malt whisky and Harry and Merlin as Eggsy's two dads.

It feels rather appropriate to use a line from the Elton John classic, "This Song Has No Title" as the title for this story.
