Shake It Out is an epic Merlin/Arthur vid by nel_ani.

Summary: I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

Vidder's notes: "It seems to be becoming an annual tradition for me to vid Merlin in November. That's a tradition I can get behind, as it's still so very pretty, and angsty and slashy. <3"[1]

The YouTube version of the vid is geoblocked in Germany and Japan.

Recs and Reviews

  • "It's always darkest before the dawn. <3 <3 <3"[2]
  • "The song was perfect - when I first heard it and it said it's always darkest before the dawn, my mind immediately went to Merlin and thought somebody has to make a video out of this and you did and it is wonderful. The timing and the scenes you chose were absolutely fantastic and it was great how you didn't just choose one angle and stick with it, but you showed Arthur and his issues, Merlin and Arthur's gorgeous relationship, the knights, Gwen being cute and yeah just perfect!"[3]
  • "this is EPIC and GORGEOUS and I was just FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE. You've captured everything I love about this show."[4]
  • "this just gave me the best OTCamelot shivers ever. I defy anyone to watch this and not wind up smiling like a fool, possibly with some wet eyes. This is just epic."[5]
