Fanon
Perelyan isn't a rare pair ship in the Merlin fandom, but isn't that common either. Mostly due to their late entry into the series and limited screen time together. Many fans of this ship note that although Percival and Elyan their shared time was limited, the time they do spend together can be viewed as homoerotic. Some people joke that Elyan's unseen girlfriend is actually secretly Percival the whole time. Many are also very big fans of the height difference.

On AO3, Perelyan is the most written ship for Elyan and the third most written for Percial. There are currently 130+ written works.
