Summary
'"They want me to work for them. Poor fuckers,” Merlin said cheerfully. Arthur mumbled an agreement and something about his work ethic, then stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
“And that’s a good thing why?”
“Because they can’t make me, obviously."'
The gang are captured by some people who fancy the power of Emrys on their side. Morgana and Gwen find out about the magic. Arthur despairs. Merlin makes things as inconvenient as he can while having his magic restrained and used against him. Eventually, something has to give. It won't be him.

But even so, preparations for Yule festivities along with some unforeseen circumstances result in Merlin taking on too much work. Unfortunately nobody notices until it's almost too late.- Language:
