"where you going?" "I'm going to the gym" "its that way" "where you going?" "I'm going to make a cup of tea! "the kitchens that way" "right"

[@hassanatudyfan7652]

A little bit suspicious

[@1pink2pink3pink]

Erik: Where are you going? writers:just put in the most British thing you could possibly think of

[@chasingstars4]

lmao thats like in days of future past when he said "sPiT sPoT bAcK tO bEd"

[@gaiamarie254]

LMAO

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Well, Patrick Jane is not British and he loves his tea.

[@yeoreumlee03]

Just cannot imagine everytime Erik looks at Charles on a wheelchair he's forever reminded that it was partially his fault-

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Why was it his fault? That pathetic excuse for an intelligence officer opened fire.

[@Juju-ru7wx]

​@@tatianalyulkin410 True. And if I were Moira I would have carried that guilt through my lifetime, but Charles love her that's why he erases her memory

[@mementomori4817]

​@@tatianalyulkin410said intelligence officer wouldnt have had to open fire if he wasnt about to destroy an entire fleet and with that start a definite war. Potato potato

[@agentnovazo]

Three years later and this is still my favourite Cherik video.

[@00shelly77]

+D4ncingD4wn54 wow, that's such a huge compliment! thank you.

[@agentnovazo]

It's well deserved! The timing, the clips used, the colours, it all just blends so perfectly. I can't listen to this song without thinking of Cherik anymore, haha.

[@rane07]

Ditto!

[@chaoticinsomniac3205]

What about now?

[@agentnovazo]

@@chaoticinsomniac3205 still my favourite, I have this song saved to my phone and I always think of this video when I hear it

[@Delineate99]

Ten long years and I’m still coming back 🫡

[@abbynerdin5726]

It’s been almost 9 years and I still routinely watch this video…literally will never forget it

[@levicosplay891]

It has become a daily routine to watch this video. Help. It's so perfect though... Lol

[@00shelly77]

+Levi Cosplay omg, thank you!

[@chaoticinsomniac3205]

You still watch this everyday?

[@loomis7238]

@@chaoticinsomniac3205 well, now I do

[@sumbuldanish3171]

I can't watch this video without wanting to laugh, cry, and scream like someone is wrenching my heart out. Charles and Erik had so much potential...

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Charles deserves a medal and a statue in his honor for just trying to have a relationship with the first generation Holocaust survivor.

[@ElizabethMorganHood]

this is literally the best music video for cherik, and as someone who has binging them for like eight hours straight, i am in a position to know

[@rshaw2293]

Imagine how much better the hallway scene could've been if they had to walk past each other and their hands just brushed.

[@ElizabethMorganHood]

i think i would've died. you?

[@laxsmironan1142]

Charles and Erik are one of the BEST original true pairings of all time, and this just proves it. Beautiful job 00shelly77

[@bionicmagi6388]

seven years later stiiiiiiiiiill my favorite

[@gaiamarie254]

LITERALLY ME

[@sirensbane17]

I liked the "This is what I thought I wanted" when he is using the coin on Shaw.

[@h0ctApmoingay]

8 years and I still come back to this

[@lymoon2664]

Oh my god. I’m not alone😅

[@yunseorrie]

I somehow just keep coming back to this Cherik FMV. The song's just so perfect and the editing is almost timeless.

[@ajedieditor7758]

You made me ship them even more. :D

[@kaitlynbarson7355]

whoever disliked this video doesn't know what beauty is.

[@elsun284]

Just curious is there anyone still watching this? I just can’t stop to rewatch it

[@HaifaaAmni]

SAMEE I have a comment here from 4 years ago and I keep replying to it to update lol

[@abbynerdin5726]

I have this song in a playlist & whenever I hear it I think of this video & need to rewatch haha. Ever since I first saw it in 2012

[@snowspirit7670]

I know this was like 11 years ago, but it is SO SO AMAZING!!!!!!

[@_CharlieH]

Eight years later and this is still my favorite cherik edit! Also thank you for introducing me to this song. It makes me think of this whenever I listen to it

[@littlebird4091]

I'm just watching on a loop. I can't stop. It's so, so good. You did an amazing job with this video.

[@Gentlesideoffury]

such a cool song choice. excellently edited and love the look.

[@00shelly77]

+Barbara “Gentlesideoffury” Somethingerother thanks so much :)

[@manon5879]

Can't stop watching this. I love how you show their relationship, 'cause it's a complicated one. It's deep, a beautiful friendship (even is they disagree on many questions ahah), and your vid is PERFECT (the song too, of course !). Love this, from France ;)

[@eluegl7006]

Oh quelqu'un qui les ship et qui est Français.e aussi!

[@manon5879]

Eh oui ! Je dois avouer que j'ai du mal à trouver des français qui les shipent aussi :')

[@eluegl7006]

Coleen W Moi aussi! Ca me fait vraiment plaisir omg je me sens moins seul XD

[@casualenjoyeroflife]

“Friendship” I’m losing my shit laughing about this

[@fickleme2257]

oh honey they're not showing a friendship

[@HaifaaAmni]

The entire xmen films are just a cherik love story

[@AryaFlowernyTurner]

came here after seeing dark phoenix, which ruined my life honestly. i needed a reminder of what this fandom used to be like, in it's glory days.

[@arwenodinson8803]

I can't get over the perfection of this video. Every beat of the song is matched perfectly by a powerful scene bt Erik and Charles. The part where Erik deflects the bullet is so impactful during the chorus. Bravo and thank you so much for bringing us such joy! 🙌💜

[@Netti00Deary]

So I've reached the point where I can play this video in my head without actually watching it, and it never fails to amaze me

[@Darkqueen458]

I haven't seen this in ages, but it popped up again and I was smiling before I even pressed play. This is still my favorite fan vid for Charles and Erik. Great job.

[@stannisthemannis7370]

This really cheers me up whenever I'm feeling down.

[@playfulabsolenergy9469]

8 years later and this is probably still my favorite of all time for cherik videos

[@AndyB30]

I'm sobbing and it's still morning. This is so perfect and I had just rewatched First Class so it's even more beautiful.

[@HappynerdA]

This is the best Cherik video ever, I keep rewatching it and the song is stuck in my head all the time.

[@yoyoma697]

Everytime i watch this video, it always puts a smile on my face!! (well, not the last part for sure bcz it still hurts) I absolutely love this song and w/ McFassy as the Cherik just perfect, everytime i watch this, i want to go back to rewatch XMFC again The beginning is wonderful, these two are just so cute and adorable > /// < but not only that, i also love love the black & white flashback around ending. And so does the scene when the coin is going through Swan's (and Charles') head... the song and the scenes just match up so perfectly like WOW Thanks for this awesome Cherik video!! I just love everything you made bcz it is always perfect!

[@00shelly77]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me :)

[@alika-tiamat]

Still my favorite video about this couple. Thank you.

[@pandala420]

Greatest frenemies ever! The best of friends and worst of enemies. Although they butt heads, they will always have each other’s backs when it counts the most.

[@firstlast2264]

This video used to be my life. God, the memories...it’s still just as good and so so beautiful.

[@MarioLovesMushroom]

Really love the characters and actors. Very good song choice. Ripped my heart watching this.

[@AmbieWolfie]

They swim!! My mind won't see it any other way xD **bring on the happy ending but emotional Cherik fanfics**

[@annak7277]

All these years and this video still gets me

[@taeminluvr]

i sobbed watching this, because ive always been in love with cherik but i recently started watching and making fan videos for other fandoms, and it just dawned on me that theres videos like this for xmen after watching apocalypse last night and this is the first edit ive ever watched for xmen/ cherik and im happy, AMAZING video :")

[@MsKittyKatKatie10]

This has got to be the best Erik and Charles video I have ever seen. It is simply phenomenal.

[@lelem35]

Years and years later and I still watch this video when I feel like I'm in a cherik mood because this is not "a" cherik video it is "THE" cherik video. I loooooooove it and really when I hear the song now, I have cherik vibes I don't know... but it symbolizes cherik in my head... like when I'm 90 years old, listening to Spotify sink or swim I'll be like "This reminds of my youth... and the time where I discovered Cherik..." and I just know I'll still be cheering for Cherik :D anyways, you're cool thanks for your video !

[@BelaS08]

wow! amazing video! never heard this song before, but loved it for cherik! and you did a great job with the edit! really one of the best edited cherik videos i've seen. plus, i loved that you used deleted scene clips in it!

[@00shelly77]

aw, thanks so much :)

[@MarikaVistarini]

I love the song and now that I discovered this video about Cherik with it, I love it even more!!!!Absolutely amazing video.

[@MsCountD]

[@ElvenFrost]

Watched last night on Channel4; fell asleep but thankfully woke up right in time for my favourite scene.....

[@tanya6304]

[@vicu1904]

"what do you know about me....everything"...and buuuum, the song speed up, LOVE IT

[@kaitlynbarson7355]

wow. I hate it when people include actual dialogue from the movie into the music video instead of just the scenes.... But wow. That was amazing. Probably my favorite music video of all time now. And it was just my two favorite actors ^.^

[@kindon18]

Together They formed a squad like brotherhood. It's sad that later tried to destroy each other. ExcElLeNt coloring(I'm impressed) and nice to hear this song again
