For
grav_ity!
Okay, I really hope this is the sort of thing you wanted because I'm a bit nervous on account of how it skirts extraordinarily close to a plotline I know you detest. I wanted to do Peter/Olivia for you because, well, it was the first pairing you suggested for the song and also your favourite (though yes, I think the whole song might make an interesting vid about Olivia's relationships with everyone collapsing because she's all self-sacrificial and alone). However, because it's a song about endings and tragedy and missed chances, I couldn't see how I could vid Peter/Olivia to it and not deal with the S3 storyline, since it's basically the first time they've had something (potentially) collapse on them.
So...I decided to make it, rather than a love triangle vid, largely an Olivia/Head!Peter vid, about her isolation, with no one to save her or even realising she's gone: forgotten. Though of course, Altlivia does make her appearances, if brief.
Anyway, I just thought I'd set out why I vidded it as I did since I'm a bit nervous I might have gone in the wrong direction with it! *bites nails* ;)

I will index and crosspost all vidlets at the end of November or when I've done all the prompts if I decide to keep going to finish them.

This is AWESOME. Because I can deal with certain aspects of the tragedy, and this is totally one of them.
I especially love the "can't seem to hold you like I want to" while Olivia's getting pulled out of the tank. That's just fabulous.
To be totally honest, I picked the song only knowing the title (ie. I had no idea what the words were), and this is PERFECT!

Date: 2010-11-27 01:52 am (UTC)I am a sucker for people falling in love with head people and the versions of people who aren't quite the way they think they are. I'm glad that the shorter glimpses of Fauxlivia and Peter worked - bittersweet was definitely my aim but I was a bit scared it would just random since the focus was otherwise so strongly focused on Olivia.
