summary: I leaned on you today (and I have promises to keep)
content notes: Spoilers for the whole first series
notes: Made from scratch in a 48-hour burst of sleep-deprived creativity, in order to be finished in time for such_heights's birthday yesterday. ♥ Thank you for getting me to overcome my initial scepticism and finally watch this stupid show about stupid people with stupid faces and their stupid (beautiful, complex) relationship. I may have some Thoughts about them at some point, but right now everything I have to say is in the vid.

Lyrics

I leaned on you today
I regularly hurt but never say
I nearly wore the window through
Where was air sea rescue?
The cavalry with tea and sympathy
You were there
Puncture repair

I leaned on you today
I regularly hurt but never say
You patched me up and sent me on my way
I leaned on you today

This is beautiful, emotional, and did my favorite thing that a vid can do: helped me conceptualize parts of canon in a different way. The juxtoposition of the tattoo needle and the heroin needle, and the way you used the escaping from handcuffs in the midst of Sherlock's various struggles, are moments that I suspect will stick with me for a long time. Probably other moments, too, as I see more and more in it—I've watched the vid three times so far and I only discovered it about 10 minutes ago!

<3 Thank you so much. It's really lovely to hear that something you've made resonates with someone so much. The thing with the needles, and the handcuffs (and also the stars, and Angus-the-broken-head and the various other objects) is that Sherlock sees everything, all the connections between seemingly random things, and so on some level he would definitely see all the links I tried to bring out in the vid. All these objects are symbolic of things in his life, and he would notice those connections, those ironies.
