Vid Recs

[elisi]

This list was very, very hard to narrow down. But these are vids that I've rewatched so often that I know them off by heart, and the thought that there are people out there who have been deprived of them until now is something that I feel that I need to rectify! *g*

Ghost of a Rose by spikeylover. Spike/Dru. Beautiful, sad and utterly perfect. And the song just kills me.

Coin Operated Boy by sdwolfpup. Buffy and the men in her life. One of the very first vids that I ever saw, and one that set a standard in my head. It's such an odd song, but works so well, and the cutting is some of the best I've ever seen.

Meet Me On The Other Side by Luminosity. Spike/Buffy. The beauty and understatedness of S7 Buffy/Spike captured exquisitely. Add to that the gorgeous editing, a jewel-like quality and a hauntingly tragic song. *deeeep sigh* Vids don't come much better than this!

Mr Brightside by Luminosity. Spike/Buffy/Angel. But also Spike/Shanshu/Angel and just Spike/Angel... a fascinating study of our favourite souled vampires and their issues! Lots of layers!

Black, Black Heart by dualbunny. Spike/duster. Need I say more?

The first and the last ones are familiar and much loved but I don't know the others. Goes off to check them out.

That's my reaction to *every* list I see... *sigh* Why doesn't fandom pay?

*g* I know the feeling! I've seen these all and I'm so glad you've recced the first and third as they were on some of my lists too and I had to leave them out when I started categorizing. Two of the others are going to be appearing again :> I particularly loved #3, it was one of my early favorites when I was finding Buffyverse vids. Agree with everything you said there.

Looking forward to your lists muchly. You have excellent taste. :)

Great choices. Meet Me on the Other Side never fails to kill me, but I hadn't seen Ghost of a Rose and Black, Black Heart which were wonderful. Many thanks.

Same here. *sigh*

Many thanks.
My pleasure. I think I've worn those two out from re-watching. (Btw 'Ghost of a Rose' is v. helpful for my Spike/Dawn story!)
