First of all, that was perfect choice of music. I can't think of anything that would have fit it better.

One of the main things that make Pete/Peggy so very viddable for me is they are always staring at each other.

Totes. In the BSG fandom we called it eye-frakking but with P/P it's more than UST. They watch each other all the time. You captured it wonderfully.

I am so glad Peggy got rid of that skinny ponytail. Good grief I hated that thing.

I had considered using the shots of Peggy crossing herself and Pete holding the gun as the final clips, but I just love the devastated look on Pete's face too much and the little tear that pops out of his eye.

I think you made the right choice. That final scene sums them up very well.

Why is Pete/Peggy hurting each other so damn hot?

I dunno!! I'm just glad I have company in this ship. And also, stocking are sexy but her thick servicable stockings really aren't and yet watching Pete digging for gold with her legs hiked up around him and damn they are sexy.

Great job! I loved that.

Thanks so much for you comment and the rec on your own LJ.

Yes! Those two are all about the eye-sex. You are also right that Pete/Peggy can make the unsexy sexy. They both look meek and dorky on the surface, but they are wild together when they are having sex. Even the damn ponytail is sexy when Pete is pulling it (though I was pleased Kurt snipped it off too!)

Thanks for your encouragement. I've only made one other vid before (a BSG vid) so it means a lot to get good feedback. You definitely have company in this ship.
