The time has come to finally reveal my vid! For the incredible
dualbunny, this is not the fandom I matched on -- I hadn't even offered it originally -- but found it calling out to me. That is the beauty of festivids! She left me with a pretty wide-open prompt to just vid *anything* of my fancy from this adorable show, and well, this is what I came up with.
Go Places
Fandom: Parks and Recreation
Song: "Go Places", The New Pornographers
Summary: Come with me, go places. Leslie & Ann.
Leslie and Ann, always and forever the real love story of Parks & Rec. That said I really did start this as a BFF vid, and somehow *through no effort of my own* it became quite shippy in spite of itself, because THAT'S HOW THEY JUST ARE.
Thank you so, SO much to
chaila43 (she who dubbed this vid "Parks & Lesbians") and
beccatoria for their invaluable beta help! Streaming at vimeo,

lyrics:
Yes a heart will always go one step too far
Come the morning and the four corners I see
What the moral of the backstory could be
Come with me
Go places
And a heart will always stay one day too long
Always hoping for the hot flashes to come
For the glue to dry on our new creation
Come with me
Go places
Come hell or full circle
Our arms filled with miracles
Play hearts, kid, they work well
Like classics, play aces
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages
Yes a heart should always go one step too far
Come the morning and the day winding like dreams
Come the morning every blue shade of green
Come with me
Go places
Come hell or full circle
Our arms filled with miracles
Play hearts, kid, they work well
Like magic, play aces
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages
Come one now, come all ye
This story breaks free here
Tears from the back pages
From somewhere en scena
Deus ex machina
Good morning Christina
Come hell or full circle
Our path blocked but sure we'll
Make records then set them
Make copies, win races
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages
As a side note, anyone who's never watched Parks & Rec and is interested in checking it out, I'd recommend watching
The Comeback Kid while it's still on Hulu, both because the climax is one of the funniest things all season AND because seeing Ann as Leslie's election campaign manager may have filled me with magical OMG THEY ARE ROSLIN AND TORY feelings.
