This ensemble vid is for the rarest of fandoms, but since multiple shows are now in hiatus I thought I’d take the opportunity to pimp a 13 episode series from 2004: Epitafios from HBO Latin-America. I have a big story kink for serial killers, and Bruno Costas the most badass gay serial killer EVER is my faaaaavorite. ♥ Season long case, charismatic killer who runs circles around everyone, and unique setting (Buenos Aires, Argentina). And I like that being brooding and overly emotional doesn’t make our cop magically competent (‘cause I love to root for the bad guys). It’s pretty easy to find with English subs.
Title: We Will Burn
Vidder: silviakundera
Fandom: Epitafios (“Epitaphs”)
Spoilers: for all of series 1
Music: ‘A Thousand Suns’ by Tom McRae
Summary: we’ll raise our hands to fight / still lose ourselves in flames It’s been 5 years since the unprofessional & reckless handling of a hostage crisis killed 4 high school students, and now a killer plays cat & mouse with the city that stole his lover from him. Justice. Thwarted Desire. Tragedy. Vengeance.

I've never had so many drafts for a vid. This one's been in process for a few months now. There are just so many gorgeous images in this macabre series paired with flawed, self-destructive, yearning characters. I searched for weeks to get the right music, and though at first I kept picking these harsh, dark songs... the first moment I heard this one I knew it was what I needed to use. Listening to it, I knew it could capture how at the emotional heart of the series you have these 3 thwarted love stories: Bruno’s stolen love, Renzo & his partner, Renzo & Laura. (and perhaps, in a different way, Marina & her father) And there's this knowledge from the start that there’s no place for heroes and sunsets in a story that starts like this one did.
FYI: The guy with blond spikey hair and the occasionally shirtless guy with curly brown hair? They’re the same dude. What can I say, Bruno's a chameleon. There are like 4 other looks that I didn’t even include, to reduce confusion.

lyrics
Rejecting all I have
as just shadows on the wall
my love
I'm not trying to show the world
I'm not trying to slow my fall
my love
Soon I'll be gone
Soon I'll be gone
From this fossil of a heart
I hear a beating sound
my love
As they put you in the ground
It's like one of us woke up
my love
Soon I'll be gone
Soon I'll be gone
But with the light of a thousand suns we will burn
With the light of a thousand suns we will burn
We will burn
And time is playing out
In all its weary ways
my love
We'll raise our hands to fight
still lose ourselves in flames
my love
Soon I'll be gone
Soon I'll be gone
But with the light of a thousand suns we will burn
With the light of a thousand suns we will burn
We will burn
