Merlin & Arthur | Hold Me While You Wait [for baybladez]

Hey guys! 🌟
This is dedicated to baybladez for the Merlin Gotcha4Gaza (merling4g.carr...) fundaraiser.
Prompt 52: Merthur to "Hold Me While You Wait" by Lewis Capaldi; Honestly happy with any Merthur moments, especially physical affection ones and the chorus just lines up so well with Merlin's magic reveal and Arthur dying in Merlin's arms. You can do no wrong, I just wanted to support the fundraiser x
I think I cried 3 times watching Arthur's death scene while making this...Thank you so much for introducing the song to me. It was the perfect Merthur song!
I hope I fulfilled the prompt and that you enjoy the video!💖✨

@@SamWinjester yes exactly. U get the idea 😭Also, if you’re looking for new songs to pair them to, I have one in mind. It’s called “You Are Bad” by Laura Reznek. If u listen to it, I bet u could find a great way to incorporate them into it. One line in particular says, “You are bad, yes you’re bad, but you’re better than me.” I kinda think of that as Arthur looking at Merlin in that way knowing that Merlin lied to Arthur all this time., but he still holds him so highly. You’ll see what I mean lol

[@SamWinjester]

@@ReaseRice Thank you for the suggestion. I will take a listen (:

Love their friendship

They are the ultimate platonic soulmates...tied only with the winchester brothers 🥰

The fact that Arthur had many chances to live but none of them were used😢 1. If only Merlin had listen to the dragon from the first season to not save the little boy (Mordred) he wouldn't have gotten the chance to kill Arthur 2. When Arthur got stabbed, Merlin could have easily called his dragon to take them to the river faster instead of traveling by land but no, he waited until Arthur passed away 😞😢 The Love i have for this Movie is unconditional but the ending strikes me like I'm going through a heartbreak 💔😭

[@SamWinjester]

AHHHHHHHHHH I totally agree with everything!!!! it is so ironic. The fact he didn't kill Mordred/Morgana at the beginning despite the overgrown lizard's warnings, but when him listened to the fire lizard, his distrust in keeping his magic from Morgana and poor treatment of Mordred is what ultimately pushes him away?! Ahhhhhh. So much pain in one series. Ultimately it was poor Arthur had no control over his destiny either.

[@user-lv7lm8wl4d]

@@SamWinjester this is so heartbreaking 😞 but it will still be the number one on my list ❤️

sorry long post, but it's late and i had too much coffee. not arguing here, just my two cents. i think Merlin listening to the dragon was what caused everything. think of it this way, maybe the dragon could actually see into the future, or atleast believed in the prophecy, BUT it was only one possible future. like once they believed in it, they somehow made that future/prophecy real. if i remember correctly something like this was mentioned during that episode with the crystal cave. (or was that in fanfic, lol not sure) like the finale was somehow one bad end out of many ends. so what if merlin somehow made morganna feel she wasnt alone and wasnt going crazy back when she was still having those prophetic nightmares, by saying he too had magic and that he understands? perhaps morgause wouldnt have manipulated morganna into her side, because morganna wouldnt be so desperate to have someone understand what she was going thru. also he could have taught her how to control it, and not end up choosing to poison his friend. As for mordred, are we really condoning the killing of a child? i dont think that would be wise, knowing that while merlin didnt kill him in canon, but he kind of treated mordred coldly thruout the show, which kind of pushed the boy away especially during the time when kara was executed. mordred didn't have a strong enough support system/connection with EMRYS (who he believed growing up was supposed to be the druid's messiah or something), much less the knights. kind of fucked up with his head no? so yeah if merlin did try to kill him as a boy, destiny would probably just mess it up and make mordred survive, aaand make him hate emrys and even camelot... making Arthur's death definite and probably much sooner. anyway great video, loved it. this is just the ramblings of a sleepdeprived, overworked fan lol.
