Everyone I know considers me a clown

1. Why I Am Here by Charmax - All – I’ve seen quite a few Wes vids and I’ve liked many but for whatever reason this one always stands out for me. It’s a look at all of Wes’s relationships, not just with Lilah and Fred but also his most important one of all. I think part of what grips me here is the way it goes through his decisions, one unfortunate choice after another, leading up to the final frame. And like Wes’s arc, it has a deep sadness to it. How I miss this character.


Rage is so overrated...they should change the name to Rageously overpriced and so not cool

2. Whatever by sisabet and luminosity - All – Angel and, well, everyone. Recced a million times by everybody but I’ll just have to make it a million and one because, really, who doesn’t love this vid? Plus AtS relationships tend to be rather depressing -- this list could use a laugh.

We’re bad, what we do, stupid fool

3. Woman Like a Man by wolfling - All – Faith’s journey involved a variety of important relationships, though romance didn’t really figure into it. This vid goes through them as it moves through her arc, showing that her ending point is rather more hopeful than most.

And love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and broken hallelujah

4. Hallelujah by butterfly – All - A look at the fairly doomed relationship between Wes and Fred. Unfortunately not turning up in online searches. Anyone know of this one? ETA: Found!

Am I too lost to be saved?

5. Tourniquet by Vinnie - All – This is actually not so much a pairings vid as a character one on Illyia. However given our rather brief time with him/her I think a good argument can be made that the relationship with Wes was central to her staying around at all.

Whatever might just be the best vid ever made...

"Hallelujah" is a great vid, though the file is huge. It's intro page is here (http://butterfly.livejournal.com/1026988.html), where it gives two links to the file. I didn't check them to see if they still work, but if all else fails, Butterfly's e-mail address is on her profile page. :-)
