And Now For Something Completely Different...
Just to prove that I haven't been totally sucked in by Merlin fandom, herewith some non-Merlin recs. Gasp!
The first section is YouTube vids by Samantha Richter - mainly Torchwood, but also DW
I so totally love this Jack/Ianto vid, Relativ(ely) by Samantha Richter (allchanges) over at YouTube. The song is in German, with English subtitles. This adds to the vid, rather than taking away. I must admit I would prefer not to have the coda, but that is a matter of personal preference and is but a minor quibble in a vid that is all about relativity. However, this vid does come with two warnings:
1. I have not yet been able to watch it through just the once. I have always needed to watch it again straight away.
2. You should watch the vid either alone or in a room full of fans otherwise you are liable to be laughed at by others in the room as your head wobbles around in time to the music. In fact, this aspect is so strong that I'm finding my own head bobbing around on my shoulders as I type. Again, you have been warned.
Other Samantha vids that so need to be rec'd:
The short vidlet, Hobbies. Subtitled. Well, we find out the hobbies of various team members, but what is Ianto's hobby? I laughed.
Nur für Dich (Only For You) Subtitled. Ianto/Jack. Set after the end of Season 1. What Ianto gave up for Jack and what this means to him after Jack's abrupt departure. There is something about these German songs that really get to me. And how Samantha finds songs with lyrics that can be culled so well from the source cannon.
Just to prove she doesn't just do fluff, check out Vom Selben Stern (From The Same Star) .Subtitled. Doctor/Master. Spoilers for end of Season 3. The Doctor and The Master have always been connected.
And an actor vid.
So, although it has Merlin bits in it, it isn't a Merlin vid. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it like mud. Bradley James - So Macho by dingogrrl. I'm not recing this for the technical qualities, but it is fun and there is a lot of Macho Bradley, including shirtless Bradley.
Oops. I've been distracted so will finish now and post.
