Vid Rec: Merlin - Empty Hearts

God, I suck. I'm so sorry for being MIA this month - note to self, do not sign up for [livejournal.com profile] crack_van when starting grad school. :/ I'm going to post a few more recs today before I hand over the reins, and once again, I apologize for the lack of posting.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur/Morgana/Gwen
Length: 3m 50 sec
Musical artist: Josh Ritter, "Empty Hearts"
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain
Vidder's Website: Vid Tag

Why this must be watched:
The vidder warns for complete fluff and lack of depth, but honestly, that's what makes this vid so charming and watchable. Arthurian Legend is thoroughly depressing, what with all the betrayals of love and friendship, and while the BBC version has hinted at this future, in the meantime it remains thoroughly committed to (at least in my mind) the OT4 dynamic of Morgana/Merlin/Gwen/Arthur. And I'm a firm believer that this version will prevail. This vid explores the various ways - the little touches and looks between the four that demonstrates their OT4ness and how they all depend on each other. I just want to draw sparkly hearts around this vid and I hope you get a similar feeling when you watch it as well.
