In the blink of an eye, Merlin goes from laughing in the halls of Camelot to lying on the ground, hurt and alone, in an unfamiliar, ruined castle. Now all he has to do is figure out what's happened.

As he lay there bearing witness to the battle before him, he could scarce believe what he saw. What was he to believe? What to do? How are you supposed to react when the man you saw as your closest friend turns out to be a sorcerer? *Spoilers for SE-3*

A band of renegade druids that know how much the legendary "Emrys" is worth to certain people have decided to auction him off to the highest bidder. How far will Arthur go to get him back, especially when Merlin's secret is revealed?

Camelot is on the verge of falling. As Arthur is too busy trying to safe his land, he barely notices the absence of Merlin. Where is Merlin anyway and what does Uther have to do with his absence?

Merlin manages to fulfill his destiny—-to help Arthur become the great king he was meant to be-—in a way no one had ever suspected and a way no one would ever have wished. Tragedy, Arthur-angst, Merlin/Arthur friendship. Now complete.

Loosely based on a Christmas Carol. Arthur is visited by Three Ghosts who reveal to him what happened in Merlin's past, present and future to make him the man that he is and the man he will be. These visits are meant to change Arthur, himself, for good.
