Notes: Some denial-filled Paul/Alva for deejay's lovely request. I have quite gleefully taken a number of scenes from "Hand of God" out of context. This is part of my Insane Vidding Project, so it's unbetaed, etc.
So much of vidding slash is in the facial expressions and the little gestures -- luckily, Paul and Alva have an overabundance of these. I had plenty to work with, especially because I grit my teeth and cut the song REALLY short (oh, it hurts! my beloved Magnetic Fields!), but at the same time, I began to wish for more source so that I could throw a little more variety into the mix. I'm usually not afraid of repetition of scenes, but when the scenes themselves kind of look alike -- here, we'll see Alva look earnest and/or constipated and then Paul will do something funny with his eyebrows! -- it felt like it became more noticeable. I didn't worry too much, though, because it felt like the source fit the song really well. (Probably any of the other verses would have worked just as well, too.)
And yes, you saw that correctly. In order to give them a happy ending, I had Paul discover that Alva kept a pencil drawing of him in his office and determine that meant that Alva really DID love him. Or at least that he should try giving them another go. (I did mention the "out of context" and the "gleefully," right?)
I kept it simple -- no effects except speed changes; I was afraid to detract from the simplicity of the song and sentiment.
So you quote love unquote me
Well, stranger things have come to be
But let's agree to disagree
Cause I don't believe you
I don't believe you
I had a dream and you were in it
The blue of your eyes was infinite
You seemed to be
In love with me
Which isn't very realistic
I don't believe you
I don't believe you
