D.E.B.S. | 3:04 | G | Amy/Lucy
Summary: We ain't gonna live forever...
Music: 4ever by The Veronicas
+

jarrow's got a note just over their vid embed that reads, in part: "happy lesbian hijinks." That's this vid. They are so gay and the movie is so camp and it is glorious pop-driven wallow in Amy and Lucy's love story in all of its camp gay glory.

If It Isn't Her, It Isn't Here by

gwenfrankenstein
D.E.B.S. | 2:52 | PG-13 | Amy/Lucy
Summary: My imagination is rattling its cage.
Music: If It Isn't Her by Ani DiFranco
+This is one of those vids that very much is weaving its audio with its visual, to the tune of lyric and visual matches and there's so much atmospheric groove in the song, too, so it's this mix of precision and vibes that's immersive and satisfying. (They fall in love to Ani DiFranco: it's super gay and great.)

Love At First Sight by

heresluck
Glee | 2:36 | G | Kurt/Blaine
Summary: Then there was you.
Music: Love At First Sight by Kylie Minogue
+It was love, guys. I have so much nostalgia for what I watched of early seasons Kurt and Blaine and that representation in that ridiculous show, and just - the instant *hearteyes* and singing and dancing and mild pining and kissing and pop music. It is here and it is fantastic.

am I only dreaming? by

thingswithwings
GLOW | 1:50 | PG-13 | Arthie/Yolanda
Summary: A tribute to this beautiful little love story!
Music: Eternal Flame by The Bangles
+This made me *chinhands*. Two women dancing and being in love with each other in the '80s.

come home to my heart by

dollsome
Good Omens | G | Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: In your car, the radio up / We keep trying to talk about us / I’m someone you maybe might love. Falling in love with the world, and each other. An Ineffable Husbands fanvid.
Music: Supercut by Lorde
+They're doing the best they can, and they're so in love, and they've been so in love for so long, without quite saying it outright, and my heart.

Saving Me & You by

purplefringe
Imagine Me & You/Saving Face | 3:29 | G | Luce/Rachel, Wil/Vivian
Summary: Lesbian love in London and New York. A fluffy vid for Imagine Me & You and Saving Face.
Music: Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer
+Gay fall lesbian vibes! Gay fall lesbian vibes! Sometimes that is all I want, but yeah, this is a great interweaving of the two narratives and all of their little matching tropes. It brings me joy.

Under Pressure by

violace
The Martian | 3:45 | G
Summary: "Every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception."
Music: Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen
+I love the Neil deGrasse Tyson open and the optimism. A pop-y film narrative vid with some great beats.

Dancing in the Dark by

starlady
Marvel | 3:18 | PG-13 | Kamala Khan
Summary: You can't start a fire without a spark.
Music: Dancing in the Dark by Lucy Dacus
+The song choice is gutting and perfect. Kamala Khan, and her friends and neighbours and family and neighbourhood, and yeah.

Our Version of Events by

alwaystheocean
Pride/Rent | 4:43 | G
(no summary)
Music: Read All About it, Pt III - Emeli Sandé
+Queer community and activism in the face of all of the shit that gets thrown at us. There's a bit in Pride where Mark is like, you know who Thatcher also hates, yeah? So we're going to be friends, the gays and the miners, because fuck Thatcher in particular, and that's kind of a lot of this vid, friends, but also just a good life strategy in general: band together with the other people that are getting stomped on.

Take Me Out by

jarrow
Saving Face | 3:13 | PG-13 | Wil/Vivian
Summary: Wil needs to get her shit together and ask Vivian out already, for crying out loud.
Music: Take Me by AJ & Aly
+The '80s-inspired soundtrack and some of the cuts are giving, like, dueSouth fanvid, in the best way. Except it's a textually queer source and so it is so, so much better. (I love them and this makes me happy.)

I Know A Place by

heresluck
Sense8 |4:34 | PG-13
Summary: Don't you be afraid of love and affection.
Music: I Know A Place by MUNA
+Friends and lovers, up against the world together, and basking in the sun, too.

Skeleton Song by

Isagel
Slings & Arrows | 3:42 | G | Geoffrey Tennant & Oliver Welles
Summary: Skeleton, you are my friend.
Music: Skeleton Song by Kate Nash
+Oliver and Geoffrey, and Geoffrey's relationship with their continued relationship. (Brilliant.)

Crowded Table by

Isagel
Star Trek | 4:19 | G
Summary: The plural of queer is family.
Music: Crowded Table by Joshua Radin
+ Disco. Queers in space taking care of each other, doing space things with their friends.

Gold by

ohvienna
Star Trek | 1:29 | G | Deanna Troi/William Riker
Summary: “Because we have to be willing to go through that door to what’s next.”
Music: Gold by Kina Grannis & Jome
+I haven't seen Picard, so all I'm getting out of this is Troi and Riker, older and in space together again, hugging and kissing like they've kissed before, with a sun-dappled green past or future apart or together, spangled with twinkle lights.

Undress Rehearsal by

findmeinthealps
Taskmaster RPF | 3:32 | PG-13 | Alex Horne
Summary: "There is an unfortunate amount of my flesh in this one." - Alex Horne
Music: Undress Rehearsal by Timeflies
+Alex Horne and a lot of his Taskmaster tropes - exposing his flesh, getting sprayed by water, and generally being used.

How You Like That by

marah_sarie
Under the Queen's Umbrella | 3:04 | G | Queen Im Hwa-ryeong
Summary: If you come for Queen Im Hwa-ryeong, you best not miss.
Music: How You Like That by BLACKPINK
+All the shots in this are gorgeous. Queen Im Hwa-ryeong's imma fuck you up face is a thing of beauty. (I haven't seen this drama, but this vid is excellent.)

Exile by

frayadjacent
Xena | 4:48 | G | Xena/Gabrielle
Summary: My complicated feelings about the Xena series finale.
Music: Exile by Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver
+I really like the inclusion of all of the other bury your gays clips - they make this video and really hammer in what the finale ending was and how unnecessary it was.

Hapiyut shel Harley Quinn / הפיוט של הארלי קווין by

seekingferret
DCU | 4:06 | R | Cassandra Cain & Harleen Quinzel
Summary: Harley Quinn attempts Teshuvah. The good thing about Teshuvah being a process is that you can do it more than once.
Music: Bird on a Wire by k.d. lang
+ Footage from the Birds of Prey film. All of the messiness of being human and trying to sort everything out, with violence and sparkles and friendship. The song choice for this vid is pretty magic: k.d. lang is a great tonal fit for this Harley Quinn, and the lyrics and cadence shine through. It's gloriously cinematic.

a strange pair by

turquoisetumult
The Fall | 2:48 | G | Alexandria & Roy Walker
Summary: "are you trying to save my soul?"
Music: Experience by Ludovico Einaudi
+ This made me cry. The Fall is a gorgeous film and then this is: like, all of its punches, dialogue included. Dramatic and lovely.

Mass in B Minor

purplefringe
Good Omens | 3:09 | G
Summary: A vid examining the theological arguments, biblical concepts and questions of morality represented in Good Omens.
Music: Mass in B Minor by J. S. Bach
+I really love the ambition of this vid, and how Bach is used to highlight the grandiose nature of the plan, of the Christian mythos, and serve as a contrast to the tone of the book and miniseries. It's a clever distillation of the work focused on the two main religious characters, with some fantastic tongue-in-cheek.

Little Numbers by

Rhea
Hikaru no Go | 3:40 | G | Shi Guang/Yu Liang
Summary: These numbers could be lucky for you.
Music: Little Numbers by BOY
+So there's a live action TV adaptation of this that exists now that's the source for this vid. It's great. I only know Hikaru no Go through being a person who has existed in fandom for a number of years and my knowledge is patchy, but this vid fills me with delight. It is the story of estranged childhood friends/rivals(?) to lovers, and it's sweet and adorable and full of tension and light.

Gänseblümchen by

Rhea
The King: Eternal Monarch | 3:18 | G | Kang Sin Jae
Summary: Es war schon wieder so ein Morgen | It was another one of those mornings
(Or the Sin-jae just really needs a hug vid)
Music: Gänseblümchen by Ganz Schön Feist
+I don't know this source, didn't know this song, and have very little German. None of this stopped this from becoming one of my favourite vids this winter. (Turn on the subtitles and watch this vid.) There is something incredibly satisfying to me about the lyrics "I'm a daisy in the sunshine and through my petals the sun is flowing into me" paired with scenes of frustration and resignation and happiness.

Run Away With Me by

sisabet and

sweetestdrain
Legend of Fei | 4:11 | G | Xie Yun/Zhou Fei
Summary: Xie Yun has a proposal.
Music: Run Away with Me by Carly Rae Jepsen
+ They are in love. Historical costume drama (including swords) set to CRJ's saxophone-laden pop. The title card is perfect and the whole thing is a joy to watch. The alternate blurb is this: "I have no ambition. Neither for literary nor military achievement. I only want to be a maid brushing my future wife's hair."

Jenny by

seekingferret
Macdonald Hall | 2:47 | G | Cathy/Diane
And I sank my face into your hair/ And then I inhaled as deeply as I possibly could
Music: Jenny by Erin McKeown
+ Cute and kind of perfectly summed up by the keyhole heart at the end.

Banshee by

CherryIce
Marvel | 3:44 | G |Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, Peter Benjamin Parker, Peter Parker, May Parker, Peni Parker, Peter Porker, Peter B. Parker, Aaron Davis
Summary: I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
Music: Banshee by Santigold
+ Made me grin from the outset. The music is a perfect match for the animation style and the vid uses it to hit heavy emotional beats while also embracing its joy. There are so many excellent sequences in this.

Good Girls by

helcinda
Marvel | 2:13 | G | Xu Xialing
Is it easier when you don't have to start again?
When you don't wanna make amends?
I want to know that feeling
Music: Good Girls by Chvrches
+ There are a lot of really great emotional things happening in this vid that I don't understand because I haven't seen Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings yet. Little sister figure becomes a warrior, grows up, deals with loss, and becomes the centre of their story, maybe? It's pretty.

Balance by

absternr
Nirvana in Fire | 2:36 | G | Liyang
Summary: Liyang, her family, and her choices.
Music: Balance by Dessa
+ Gorgeously woven epic. The pacing of this and the ending are arresting.

A Shot in the Dark by

Krim
Only Murders in the Building | 2:27 | PG-13
Summary: Three residents of a ritzy New York City apartment building form an unlikely alliance (and friendship) to solve a murder in their building
Music: The Pink Panther Theme by Henry Mancini
+ (Yet more source material I haven't seen.) A fun and fitting exploration of the tone of the show, I think.

Stray Italian Greyhound by

periru3
Our Flag Means Death | 4:09 | G | Ed/Stede
Summary: This feeling calls for everything that Ed is not
Music: Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng
+ Made me *chinhands*.

Power in Union by

condnsdmlk
Pride | 2:51 | G
Summary: It all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand.
Music: Power in a Union by Billy Bragg
+ Anthemic. Friendship and resistance. A sharply focused pro-union vid that captures what the thing is about, the film, unions, and allyship, all.

Go Boys Go by

BrokenMnemonic
Star Trek | 2:42 | G
Summary: The price of exploration.
Music: The Chemical Workers' Song by Great Big Sea
+ "Everyday you're in this place you're two days nearer death". TOS's redshirts and their many varied ends. Incredibly grounded in the song, lyrics and rhythm, both. Fantastic.

Rebels Rising by

condnsdmlk
Star Wars | 2:51 | G
Summary: Rebel. Resist.
Music: The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy
+ Space lasers, rebellion, and death. War. (Fast-paced and shiny.)

All Star by

hartknyx
Taskmaster RPF | 3:32 | G
Summary: The tasks start coming and they don't stop coming.
Music: All Star by Smash Mouth
+ Featuring every contestant of the first 12 series and many visually-rendered lyrics. (e.g. "her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead". Always satisfying.) Dancing! Victory! Failure! Smashing things! Exploding things! Music! Sport! Greg Davies' shiny gold head! Et cetera! Fun.

try your best by

hartknyx
Taskmaster RPF | 3:49 | G
Summary: The triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of British comedy.
Music: Fix You by Coldplay
+ Gloriously dramatic. The show's slow pans of failures, crying, so much crying, and lying on the ground, contrasted with all of the victory arms and shots that made it, triumph writ high.

Fight For It by

runawaynun
Ted Lasso | 3:37 | G
Summary: I'm gonna stand here and fight with you.
Music: Fight For It by Lucy Spraggan
+ Such a good pick-me-up vid. Masking pain and solidarity and small triumphs and deciding to dance. Choosing to stand with other people, finding your people, supporting them and being supported. How the shit never goes away, but friendship and believing in people help over and over again.

Let Love Be Your Energy by

such_heights
Ted Lasso | 3:28 | G
Summary: 'He thinks he's mad now, wait til we win him over.' 'He'll be furious!'
Music: Let Love Be Your Energy by Robbie Williams
+ Sports, Ted Lasso, winning people over, and accepting the mission. (I'm still processing this vid.)

Rainbow Connection by

lilly_the_kid
Wilby Wonderful | 2:40 | G | Dan Jarvis/Duck McDonald
Summary: When I wanna see my future, I just look into your eyes.
Music: Rainbow Connection by Garfunkel and Oates
+ The Dan/Duck storyline: really cute in places, and fragile and yearning. This vid is very grounded in the time of the film, with the song choice, especially, and is about some of the realities of being queer at that time, the fear and the lack of status. (On the content warning front: mind the "suicidal thoughts" tag; it goes a bit beyond that.)

a tempest, a cyclone, a goddamned hurricane by

Dialux
Game of Thrones | 57,809 | PG-13 | Sansa
Summary: There’s nobody named Lyarra in Winterfell, according to her father; the last person who bore that name was his mother, and she was buried decades ago.
Sansa speaks to her the next week.
Sansa can speak to ghosts, and this changes everything.
+ It's been a while but I remember this as, basically, how things might have gone if someone had actually bothered to teach Sansa about people and politics and supported her instead of not doing any of those things. And her teachers were ghosts, with ghostly agendas. Highly enjoyable.

Out of the Woods by

such_heights
Good Omens | 3:53 | PG -13| Aziraphale/Crowley
Are we in the clear yet?
Music: Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift
+ The vid that broke my avoidance of footage of the new series. This is wonderful and perfect, a delightful voyage.

Queens by

thingswithwings
Killjoys | 2:52 | R | Aneela/Delle Seyah
I met a girl, I met a goddess
and there were stars just burning in her eyes
Music: Witch by Be Steadwell
+ More source material I've not seen. The tension in this is great. Tags include "murder lesbians", "women ruling the galaxy", and "magical pregnancy".

Battle Cry by

absternr
Marvel | 1:01 | G | America
Summary: They can't do anything that you're about to.
Music: Battle Cry by Angel Haze
+ I'm always here for America Chavez punching things, and this vid packs a dose of feelings, too.

Stress by

findmeinthealps
Marvel | 4:23 | PG-13 | Tony
Summary: Everybody's thinking 'bout me.
Music: Stress by Jim's Big Ego
+ It's very Tony - his personality, his lifestyle, and the trumpets. (He's a trumpets kind of guy.) Spans all the films.

When We're High by

mithborien
Marvel | 3:57 | PG | Steve/Thor
Summary: "New haircut?"
"Noticed you've copied my beard."
A Steve/Thor vid.
Music: When We're High by LP
+ This is a lot of fun and I am very much still processing it - explosions to sexy beats, mainstream action heroes doing action things (and not) to the same, comedy, and the general epic-ness of their selves and stories.

The Sun at Noon by

elissastillstands
Merlin | 29,479 | PG-13 | Gwen/Morgana
Summary: “Do you think me too ambitious?” Morgana asks when they part.
Gwen presses her lips to the corner of Morgana’s mouth. "I think you noble, my lady."Gwen and Morgana in Camelot; the slow entwining of their lives, and the people they meet along the way. The weight of anger, of destiny, of silk and iron.
+ Get-together fic that's plotty, with court intrigue, magical schemes, and several lesbians.

Game On by

bironic
Multifandom | 5:04 | PG
Summary: Ready, set... sports movies.
Music: Drinkee by Sofi Tukker
+ Originally conceived for Club Vivid, and made of so many sports, with feature films and documentaries intermingled, and some diversity represented. This would be excellent to dance to.

Waters of March by

Tafadhali
Multifandom | 3:42 | PG
Summary: And the riverbank sings / Of the waters of March / It's the promise of Spring / It's the joy in your heart
A celebration of the films of Hayao Miyazaki.
Music: Waters of March by Anya Marina
+ A love letter to these Studio Ghibli films, containing friendships, trials, wars, adventures, and those beautiful landscapes.

Diplomatic Complications by

Sixthlight
The Old Guard | 14,412 words | NC-17 | Joe/Nicky
Summary: There can be no misinterpretation or confusion on Yusuf’s part when what Duke Nicolò says is “But I didn’t want a husband, what does my brother think he’s doing?”
+ Old timey arranged marriage fic wherein everyone figures out that they should be together before Nicolò does, and a plot or two is uncovered. (I haven't seen this source material.)

nothing here that is not sacred by

Sixthlight
The Old Guard | 7,517 words | NC-17 | Joe/Nicky
Summary: “I don’t want to fuck anybody,” Yusuf said, starting bluntly to save them both the trouble of specifics. “Or almost all the time, I do not.” (or: the one with slutty Nicolò and confused demisexual Yusuf)
+ Domesticity, sex, and communication. Pre-film fic.

start over (reset) by

condnsdmlk
Star Trek | 3:15 | G
Summary: Five things that never happened to Voyager's crew – and one thing that did.
Music: Burn the Pages by Sia
+ Time travel stories, all the things reversed, and another that went a bit differently. I have a lot of feelings about pocket stories that end and get swept away, and also this whole crew. Explosions, loss, and desperately trying to set things right.

Clean by

cosmic_llin
Star Trek | 4:09 | G | Seven of Nine
Summary: Just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it.
Seven of Nine and Annika Hansen and everything in between.
Music: Clean by Taylor Swift
+ Seven's journey. The back and forth. Learning to be human and choosing not to be Borg.

One Prairie Outpost

purplefringe
Star Trek | 3:29 | PG
Summary: Alone in a flatland 'tween the dream and the real
Music: One Prairie Outpost by Carbon Leaf
+ DS9, TNG, and Voyager. I haven't seen enough Star Trek to fully get this, but I like the kind of plaintive ship feel it has?

Ultralife

such_heights
Star Trek | 2:24 | G | B'Elanna/Harry/Tom
Summary: I never could've asked for more.
Music: Ultralife by Oh Wonder
+ Straight-up charming OT3 vid.

Letters from the Northern Continent by

thehoyden
Star Trek | 7,966 words | NC-17 | Bashir/Garak
Summary: It just figured that the first time Julian Bashir set foot on Cardassia after the war, it would be halfway around the world from Elim Garak.
+ It's a romance. Video recordings, flirtation, cultural differences, realisations, and confessions.

If You're the Captain

thingswithwings
Star Trek | 2:44 | PG-13 | Kathryn Janeway
Summary: Everyone loves serving Janeway.
Music: I'd Love to Take Orders from You by Mildred Bailey & Her Swing Band
+ Accurate summary is accurate. Fun. Kinky.

The god of scraped knees. by

spqr
The Witcher | 8,342 words | R | Geralt/Jaskier
Jaskier’s been pretending to be human for so long now that he hardly remembers what it feels like to be a sorcerer. He doesn’t want to remember what it feels like to be a sorcerer. But people still murmur his name with reverence in certain dim halls; Dandelion, Dandelion, destroyer of worlds.
+ Wherein Dandelion is a magic immortal god-adjacent being and pines for love and domesticity.

Adore You by

Trelkez
The Witcher | 2:29 | R | Geralt/Jaskier
like it's the only thing I'll ever do
Music: Adore You by Harry Styles
+ This has the vibe of some of my favourite slash vids, like, constructed narrative and shipping thesis in one, melded flawlessly to the soundtrack with pining and suggestive glances, plus a dash of comedy. Solidly delightful.

Such a Loser by

sandalwoodbox
Yuri!!! on Ice | 2:55 | G
Summary: In which people try and fail and try again. Keep up the good work!
Music: Such a Loser by Garfunkel & Oates
+ This is so heartwarming. A+.
