Amazing story inspired by the vid by stillwaters01



Thanks to my super betas and feedback givers _sharvie_, my_sn_therapy and maichan808 (yep! I need a lot of hand holding *g*). Thanks so much lovely ladies *hugs*<333

Notes:

I heard this song as an intro for a podfic recording and it kept haunting me. It spoke to me of the fallout from supernatural encounters, not just for Sam and Dean but for the many others that cross their paths.

This song was written by James Blunt about the Kosovo War. I don't mean to trivialise the suffering of the people he sung about by making a fanvid to the song - I just felt it suited the people who inhabit the Supernatural universe.

Comments are always loved. :)

Beautifully done and heartbreaking as hell. Glad I had my Kleenex.

So beautiful ♥

This was just so, so gorgeous. And you're right. It fit our poor, sorrowful Supernatural world almost too well.

Just adore your vids... &hearts

Absolutely gorgeous, stunning in concept, wonderful use of colour and such a starkness of grief - I'm utterly in awe. Can't believer you were worried about this, it's perfect.

I always thought that "No Bravery" was a song that belong to the Winchesters and you certainly did it justice.

Can I have a tissue now, please?

Oh, wow!

I presume this is the angsty vid you posted about earlier? I knew it would be brilliant, and boy is it!

Very powerful stuff indeed, a lot of the fall out of the hunts regarding the victims of the MOTW is skirted over in he show, in favour of the boys storylines and emotion, and you brought their relatively untold stories to the forefront in a really emotional and heart breaking way.

From a technical/artistic perspective...guh. The little flashes of colour admist the black and white, like the explosion from the window and the blood from the crib was stunning!

So, yeah, beautiful job, well done! ♥

{{{Ash!!!}}} Damn. Just . . . damn.

Oh ash, this is one of the most beautiful Supernatural videos I've ever seen. So powerfully moving and dramatic, I absolutely love it!

This is sooo heartbreaking, words don't really do it justic...


But still: I really loved Gordon in this. Especially as it is the moment just after he had killed his friend. That gives it such an edge.
As usual you chose unbelievably fitting clips and editet them perfectly to create a certain mood. Love the colour flash with the fire explosion. And the short change to colour at 1:24, 2:02 and 2:41. It does something to me emotionally but I can't explain it. Also love 2:07 with Luci like an overlay. It's chilling. And all that after you had such problems first to vid this! It's a killer vid in all it's sadness and hopelessnes. Extremely well done, hun! ♥

I feel like somebody stuck a knife in my bowels and twisted it a few times. Was that your intention? - Absolutely stunning work, sweetie, very visceral. I love that there is no resolution or context in this vid, just the bottomless pit of sadness and despair of all these people, it fits the song so well. *Sniffle* And now I'll go and put "When you're smiling" and "Love shack" on endless loop, if you don't mind....

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

Grief is such a throughline for me in this show and you've bought it out here in such heartbreaking beauty. Bravo! *sniffle*

[e0wyn.livejournal.com]

God, this is so beautiful and touching. Loved your work and I liked that you choose to focus not only on the "usual" characters but on many people we've seen in Spn throughout the years. Bravo!

[ruby-jelly.livejournal.com]

Oh my God! I actually avoided watching for a bit - lack of trust, too much trust? You decide. Anyway, you'll understand when I say "bitch".

ps why is the screen blurry?

ps love the opening sequence - even without the warning, I knew I was in trouble. Your work has grown tremendously, congratulations! (..on ripping out my heart! Yeah, yeah, it's all about me....NOT!)

Well done - it'll do well when we're in New Orleans - I refuse to give up!

This was really very moving Ash. And just so heart achingly sad. What a perfect song for the theme of tragedy in the Supernatural universe. I can totally see why such lyrics would bring those scenes to mind. Superbly edited once again, seamless transitions - I loved it even as a big fat tear rolled down my cheek. *applauds* And now please - can we have an antidote? *looks all hopeful*

[meltingconfetti.livejournal.com]

Beautiful.

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

This is so powerful, seriously, tearing up here. Beautifully edited -- the choice of clips, all those faces. I really liked how it was the Winchesters and recurrings and also the many, many valiant heartbreaking one-shot characters the show has had.
