NaViMaMo Vidlet: a thousand goodbyes [Doctor Who // River Song]

[beccatoria]

For tellitslant!

Okay, this one ended up SUPER LONG, like barely under my own self-imposed limit of two minutes, which is nearly twice as long as my general aim. Sorry to future prompters but you're unlikely to get something as long as this is... *facepalm* I blame the song choice, which I just feel in love with. Seriously, I meant to vid one verse and a chorus, but I couldn't chooooose so I chopped up the song to keep the gorgeous final rendition of the chorus and ended up with this:

Title: a thousand goodbyes
Video: Doctor Who
Audio: 1000 Goodbyes // Captain Tractor
Summary: For every hello there's a thousand goodbyes.

I will index and crosspost all vidlets at the end of November or when I've done all the prompts, whichever comes soonest.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING.

I love that you chose this song, and you used it so well - this is absolutely heartbreaking, as it kind of has to be! I love the clip choices throughout, but particularly for the "And things keep on changing for better or worse" verse, GAH. *makes whimpery noises* So brilliant! Thank you so much! :DDD Can I write you a ficlet in return?

I keep watching this and finding more things that I love about it! Like the sneaky little handholding scene being worked in! And the flash between Ten and Eleven over "any new verse" is AWESOME on so many levels. :DDDDD SO GOOD. (how are they so amazing.)

I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT! :D I THINK I MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT IN LOVE WITH IT MYSELF. Also thank you so much for the lovely rec. And the amazing song to go with the prompt of course.

The "better or worse" verse was the one that just seemed so heartbreaky to me, and was probably the verse I would have chosen if I'd cut down to just one, but some of the punch seemed to be lacking if I couldn't have the other one too; which is a convoluted way of gleeing that you liked it. Plus how could I not go for it with all the wedding symbology. ;)

Anyway, you're absolutely welcome and I of course would LOVE any kind of ficlet you choose to write, though if you want a specific prompt, how about, "River/Doctor, for better or worse"?

Finally I rather embarrassingly noticed a ghost frame during the section where River punches out Ten that I failed to catch before uploading. If you can see it/it bothers you, the download link now goes to a corrected version, although the streaming is still as it stands.

Ficlet achieved, here.

I STILL LOVE THIS, BTW :DDDD
