[@NightFuryLover-xx8vo]

‘He doesn’t know your story like I do’ hits so hard because lance was the one who knew about Merlin’s magic and not Arthur. Also, this is such a beautiful and well put together video - sincerely, a hardcore Merthur shipper💕

[@elysiaedits2010]

thank you so much! that line is the one that sparked the idea for the video :)

Omg are we calling him Lance, now? Because I’m into that

[@embreis2257]

@@elysiaedits2010 and you transported the whole theme most excellent with your superb editing throughout the video. 3:10 is such an emblematic moment in their friendship when Lance rushed to see what is wrong with Merlin while Arthur was concerned but didn't move. made me a happy camper

okay as much as adore merthur, lancelot was merlins first love no criticism

lancelot loved merlin so much!!!

[@hazelshakespeare2638]

oh yeah definitely

[@ritushreejagan]

True that!!

[@caroldixon3952]

So pleased Lancelot knew about Merlin's magic

[@LightLife4]

Own opinion now but I think that's probably why Merlin could just be himself around Lancelot. Once he knew, and was cool with it, he never had to hide it. I would have liked to have seen something of a 3-way relationship with Lancelot, Merlin and Gwen as Lancelot and Gwen did have feelings for each other

[@legendary2553]

Same

[@amberdawn2390]

i swear Lance might be the only other person I shipped with Merlin as much as I did with him and Arthur no lie like my freaken babies omg the chem they had was beyond me

[@elysiaedits2010]

their chemistry is off the charts and they only had SIX episodes!!!

[@ipeace6145]

And Gwaine also. They're best friends literally

[@legendary2553]

Loved mercelot

[@embreis2257]

Gwaine might object to that. if he had his way Merlin would belong to him

[@a.v.2491]

No really cause Merlin has chemistry with all the knights I swear. Lancelot and Merlin can compete with Merthur even with just limuted episodes together.

[@nancymarroquin1762]

I love Merthur, I'm not gonna lie. BUT damn if Lancelot and Merlin don't have a beautiful relationship- I'm 100% convinced that Lancelot loved Merlin, and that's why he sacrificed himself in that ep. I'm crying now TTATT

[@elysiaedits2010]

lancelot gave his life for merlin it’s so messed up

[@embreis2257]

that is the only explanation that makes sense. Lance loved Gwen and as queen she made him promise to keep Arthur safe but it was his love for Merlin (and Lance knew, he just knew Merlin would sacrifice himself for Arthur) that made him do it and *not* his promise to Gwen, that was just an added bonus

[@marirothbauer5407]

Loved him like a blood brother dude.

[@marirothbauer5407]

​@@elysiaedits2010 I think Gwens brother should have sacrificed himself. Was lost without Lancelot 😢😢😢😢😢 Made me depressed when he was no longer their. 😂😂😂

[@scarletbailey6086]

The fact that being a prince/head knight/king is the equivalent of being cheer captain is hilarious lol p.s. Mercelot is amazing and this video deserves more views!!!

[@granville7]

Arthur had so many scenes with Merlin over the course of five seasons there is no surprise they got along well and both actors obviously enjoyed working with the other. Lancelot otoh had just a few eps to show us what kind of guy he is but he made good use of it. if this edit wanted to sell us the idea of him being the ideal partner for Merlin then congratulations - it worked! Merlin is so popular everyone would want him given half a chance. it seems however, he made up his mind early and the lucky bastard in question knew it and made anyone else back off.^^

[@a.v.2491]

I feel like Merlin was somewhere in Lancelot’s heart as eventhough Lancelot promised Gwen to protect Arthur, he instead helped Merlin when he was about to die on going back to Camelot, leaving Arthur and his men. ALSO, when Lancelot was telling Merlin that Arthur should’ve made him a knight aswell?? HELLO?? That conversation was sugary sweet my goodness. Plus, Merlin was about to sacrifice himself for Arthur but stopped by the Cailleach during this, Lancelot was already walking towards the veil. And finally, the most obvious one. Lancelot’s way of looking at Merlin so passionately. 😍😍

One of the best Merlin edits ever. Clever, funny, but also very poignant in the way that it tells the story of Sir Lancelot, bravest and kindest of knights.

[@elysiaedits2010]

I’m so late but this is such a kind comment thank you 😊

[@scarletbailey6086]

Ah yes Armor: the medieval equivalent of short skirts lol Love this video so much, I keep coming back!

[@luca_the_destroyer9811]

I love this so much omg!! Them with this song hits extra hard because I'm convinced that Lancelot knew that Arthur was Merlins destiny, the man he'd willingly dedicated his whole life and purpose to, and he knew exactly that he could never take his place, and to ensure that Merlin and Arthur could stay together and to save Merlin, he sacrificed himself. Merlin did love him too, and the fact that he could never have Arthur, as well as Lancelot could've never had Gwen, led to the beautiful intimate relationship he had with Lancelot. I'm convinced that he was Merlins first love, his first teenage crush, and later their bond only grew stronger, given the fact that he could unapologetically be his entire self around Lance and didn't have to hide who he was. "Lancelot needed you and you needed Lancelot. Your destinies were entwined." (Gaius to Merlin while they were watching Lancelots departure in S1 E4) I personally believe that thats way more intimate than "You're like two sides of the same coin" aka whats said about Arthur and Merlins relationship in the show. I really need more people to get into the Mercelot side of this fandom, there are not enough fics and edits of them 😭💔

[@yvonnez9465]

Gwaine,Arthur,Merlin and Lancelot are the best

[@leni_inel1518]

I ship merthur but godamit that's great ! That song fits very well with the scenes, exspecially with the 'she's cheercaptain' and it shows arthur in the crown and 'and I'm on the bleachers' lancelot become one of his knights. ( And ofc the ' she doesn't know your story like I do ' with merlins magic) It's really awesome!

I have only ever shipped Mercelot/Lancelin while watching this video, but while watching this video, I ship it hard. I thought Gwenarthur lacked sufficient chemistry, so in the world of this ship, I’d put Arthur with Mithian and Gwen with Leon or someone.

Merlin always felt so at ease with Lancelot. the only person apart from his mother and Gaius knowing about his secret and allowed to survive the episode (and some more).

pin-point accuracy with the song lol. Also, I'm still mad merlin's magic was never revealed until the last like 3 episodes, that's why I think lancelot is one of the best characters because he was able to marinate in the story potential of knowing that merlin's a sorcerer, especially so early on. I know it's like destiny or whatever idk it's dumb, it's just wasted potential.

He was the only knight who really knew and still fully accepted Merlin) but I saw this and another fan vid and I was just, 'well shit. this is what i get for skipping 3-5 because of my love for morgana.' I just. Looking at all of these, compilations of their scenes, without the context that Lancelot was supposed to Arthur's rival for Guinevere's heart, it really looks like he (Lacelot) is in love with Merlin.
