Saving Me & You
edited by [personal profile] purplefringe
fandom: Imagine Me & You and Saving Face
characters: Rachel/Luce and Wil/Vivian
music: Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer
summary: Lesbian love in London and New York
content notes: Spoilers for both films
notes: Made for my partner-in-squee, the wonderful and brilliant [personal profile] such_heights, on the occasion of her birthday. HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY STUPIDFACE.
Warning: this vid is PURE FLUFF and I REGRET NOTHING.
Side note, for those of you who haven't seen the films but are watching this anyway: these two films do not *actually* contain the exact same storyline played by different actors, whatever I've made it look like. There are a LOT of parallels, both narratively and visually, and seeing as both [personal profile] such_heights and I love a good parallel, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with that. But I promise that both films have different premises, different subplots and focuses, a bunch of other great characters who were left out of this vid, and are both very much worth watching :-D

Lyrics

Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me, upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me

So kiss me
So kiss me

I've seen both of them! But I didn't realise how many parallels there were between them before seeing your vid. ♥

Such a pretty vid. You're right in saying that they're not actually similar stories, but that just made me love all the parallels even more.

This is so ridiculously lovely I can't even. I've watched both these films many, many times and you still made me gasp with the beauty of them -- this is gorgeous, fresh vid.

Eek, I just stumbled upon this, AND LOVE IT SO MUCH! <3 These are both such heartwarming movies, Saving Face (right here on the shelf next to me) particularly strong in its own right, and I just -- aww. Thanks for creating this!

So I don't know I missed this at the time, but I've just watched it three times in a row and linked it from my Tumblr. Because HEARTS IN MY EYES. SO MANY HEARTS.

Saving Face I knew about (and was the reason I followed the link); Imagine Me & You, however, I did not. That obvs needs to be rectified.
