Oh, this! The existence of this! ♥ ♥ ♥ I love this song SO MUCH, and it's such a good fit for these two, so when this showed up on my flist I nearly perished of a flail attack. And this is just beautiful editing -- I particularly love the parallel-y individual shots and how seamlessly these two seem to bleed into each other. 0:13-0:23 in particular is just some of the most mindblowingly awesome editing I have ever seen. And the ending, with Morgana lifting the dagger and Merlin lifting Excalibur -- adjfl;adjsl;fkas, AMAZING. Will definitely be rewatching this one, oh, a zillion times. :)

Oh my god, thank you! I agree, this song is fabulous, and so perfect for these two! AND IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE ACTUALLY KNOWS THIS SONG AS WELL LOL.

By the way, I'm a huge fan of your Merlin & Community fics. You're an absolutely incredible writer and "Kindred" is seriously my favourite Merlin/Morgana fics of all time. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW. <3333

Aw, thank you, yay! ♥ I am so happy you like them! Series three was full of stuff that made me grumpy, but all the Merlin/Morgana tension was definitely the high point for me, and it made for such good fic inspiration.

And oh my gosh, that SONG! I went through a period not too long ago where I liked to listen to it overandoverandover on a daily basis, so I absolutely cannot communicate just how giddy I was to see a (glorious!!!!!) M/M vid to it. I very nearly thought I was hallucinating for a minute there.

Merlin and Morgana were definitely one of the best things about series three for me. I had issues with Morgana's characterisation mainly; but every scene she had with Merlin was just so intense and oh my god, their chemistry is ridiculous. <3

LOL, oh gosh, I've listened to this song over 700 times because of this video. I'm fairly sure somewhere along the way, I reset the play count because it was getting a little ridiculous so it's probably a lot more than 700 times, actually. ;)

(Also, hope you don't mind, but I just friended you! 1) To stalk your journal in case you post any more fic, and 2) because you're clearly awesome <3 This is an entirely new account after I disappeared from LJ for about a year so I clearly need to start stalking people again. XD)

Yeah, Morgana's characterization in general disappointed me a lot (the smirking! So much smirking! Never has smirking been so smirky before!) but the stuff with Merlin was EXCELLENT.

(Yay, I'll friend you back! What is lj for if not stalking, really? :) But ... you know ... in a nice way.)

HENCE SMIRKGANA, AS A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW CALL HER. Queen of Smirkalot. Even Morgause was getting in on the smirking action towards the end of the series! *facepalm*

(Yay! *hugs* And when is stalking on LJ ever not nice? XD Oh god I'm beginning to sound like a creeper aren't I :P)
