And now, the backstory and the squee!!
I bid on
sweetestdrain at the FanWorksCon auction, because I love her vids and I love the way she vids and how her vids flow and how she works with narrative. When I was lucky enough to come up the winner at auction, I sent her a couple vid ideas, and one of them was this song, and a few paragraphs about the characters I thought the first verse applied to (Thor and Tony, for sure), and then some vague ramblings about the rest of the song and how there'd have to be a fucking/fighting metaphor, etc. Basically I said - this song is long and kind of weird and does odd things structurally, IDK, do you think you could make an Avengers vid about the core six?
Her answer was yes! And then she proceeded to make this miraculous vid, about all my beloved Avengers (even Clint) and what it really means to be an Avenger, and all the self-sacrificing that entails, and what it means to be lost and to find your purpose and to break and keep going, and how happiness and teamwork is really an important fiction they all told themselves and keep telling themselves by passing on that obligation to a new generation (the new generation they love with all their hearts), and then there's a little bit of meta about beautiful lies and everything we want to hear. (We reinvent it if we don't like it! THEY ARE ALL STILL LIVING IN THE TOWER IN 2012 PERPETUALLY IN FANFIC, I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.)
Also, the beautiful things she does with parallels. Amazing.
In conclusion, I love this vid and I love how she managed to magically create this out of an idea and a too-long song, and I will always be grateful that she took so much time to make and tweak it and listen to ramblings about it and...IDK, it's genius.

(Sidebar: If you're thinking about bidding in one of the upcoming con auctions, I highly recommend FanWorksCon because of the post-auction process the con has going on. They send out reminders periodically about deadlines to make sure everyone is on the same page. A+++ would bid again.)
