This is a vid I missed when it came out 2.5 years ago (by then I was deep into the due South fandom not keeping up with SV). I am glad I caught it in a trip down LJ Memory Lane.

Something I Can Never Have by mkitty_03This vid isn't flawless technically, but it does satisfy my humongous jones for Bruce/Lex. This creative, evocative constructed reality vid ( Read more... )
