I adored the sweetness of Merlin/Freya and I think that this video is such a lovely tribute to it. The song is so sweet and sad, just the way their doomed love was, so it all fit together nicely. I also loved that it was in black and white. The whole thing seemed as beautiful, muted and haunting as the song. This is an excellent video. Thank you for sharing!

Your icon is so cute xD

Thank you for your very nice comment! :) When I first heard the song I knew that it fit their relationship perfectly. I hope Freya returns in season 3 like they said she would!!

That was gorgeous! I'm tearing up here. I loved this episode, and I've been a Merlin/Arthur shipper since the start, lol. I thought it was a more emotionally-charged romance than most of Arthur's (except for Gwen, but that's for another time, lol) and that's what drew me to it. I made through most of the last scenes without crying until Merlin went to set her on fire and couldn't get through it at first, then I lost it.

Sorry, I went on a tangent. The video was amazing and I hope you make more soon!

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) And I agree with everything you said and it's exactly why I loved Merlin and Freya. I cried at the end as well. Merlin's heartbreak and Freya's death was just so sad.

I'd love to make more videos! Just gotta get my hands on some more editing programs.

Aaw, so beautiful and sad... Poor Merlin :(

Good choice for the music as well, I love that song.

(and LOL @ my icon, it's too happy looking for this but it's the only Merlin related one I currently have =oP )

I know. :( Thanks for commenting Claire <333

Hehehe, but it's adorable anyway! :D

No worries! :)

It is, and ooo look at yours, haha... Oh great now I've got that song in my head ;)

awesome vid!! I too enjoyed the Freya ep - I was a bit p*d off that despite the heavy emotion it evoked the show writer's had Merlin perk up again really quickly. Mind you they seemed to be very spasmodic with the emotions the entire season! lol let's hope they give us some more Freya/Merlin next season! :)

I know what you mean. xD I just think that's just part of Merlin's personality, though. He's such a bouncy, happy chap he really couldn't be sad for long! :P I hope they give us more Freya/Merlin too!! They hinted at it, and Freya did tell Merlin she will return the favour, so!

Thanks for your comment! <3
