Song: Distance
Artist: Christina Perri (ft. Jason Mraz)
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur/Gwen
So you haven't seen many A/G vids from me recently, and that's because I've had a really, really difficult time coming to terms with what TPTB did to them in the second half of S4 and so far in S5 (and because I'm writing a senior thesis, but that's another story). A good friend of mine gave me the great advice of removing all of their moments from the context of these last two series, and so that's what I give you today: their relationship out of context. Sort of. The video focuses on their dynamic in S2/early S3 (had their arc been more flushed out, but I don't think I would've trusted TPTB with such a nuanced relationship), but it uses moments from later on in the show (yes, including S4! it mostly uses footage from S1-3, but there are S4 moments in there, which is a step up from my last vid -- hopefully it'll be clear why S5 moments were excluded) and places them in that narrative.
The video is mostly from Gwen's PoV, but it does alternate with Arthur's (since the song features Jason Mraz). Hopefully it's clear which is which, but feel free to ask if you get confused. As for applying this song to the A/G relationship: both are drawn to each other, but have their reasons for refusing to accept that a future exists for them and knows that the other has their reasons as well (in this vid the throne room scene from 3x10 represents those fears). They find themselves trying to balance this reality with their continued pursuit of each other and the eventual relationship that follows ... but as we all know, things eventually work out. ;-) TL;DR: THESE are my Once and Future Pendragons.

Uther: She will die. You will see I was right.
Gwen: And I cannot be your queen.
Arthur: I relinquish my entitlement to the throne!
Arthur: How can I admit that ... I care about her more than anyone?
