Ah! I absolutely adore this! And wow on the song choice because that takes me back, eeee. I especially like the zooms on the specific clips to emphasize the way when someone's crushing, they blow the tiniest things up to make them feel real.

All the touchies! And the slash dragon! And Merlin touching Arthur some more and being all googly eyed and awww.

Thank you!

I've been fond of this song for quite a while.

They do, it's so true.

I really like them. They're adorable.

The intro w/the slash dragon + song choice are brilliant! I love how much the subtexts are so visible here; it is so utterly delightful.

Thank you! I'm so glad that the intro worked for you. The slash dragon makes me giggle.

Merlin and Arthur have lovely subtext.

Awww, oh boys! This was great fun!

(Btw, the main link at the top goes to Jacob Marley's Chain.)

Thank you (for the feedback and the note!).

The boys are adorable (now, I am looking for an appropriate Morgana/Gwen song - it shall not defeat me!).

Hee, that was awesome! 'It's not like we have a date with destiny' HA!

Thank you! And, yes, I was leaning heavily on dramatic irony.

*pets boys*

Awww they are SO cute! *squee* Love the intercutting flickers, love those parts of the song. The touch in the first chorus is *perfect* awwww. Date with destiny! Love that ball during that. And aww Merlin looking so devastated at 3:00. This is just full of fluffy hearts and cute romance :D

Thank you!

They are so completely adorable. I'm glad that you liked the flickers.

They are such a fluffy pairing for me right now.

I loved it, and your "Jacob Marley's Chain" vid. Both are very pretty, and I like how you show that you have such different views on the show as a whole with having such contrasting vids. :)
