[gwyn]

My premiering vid from Escapade:

I don't wanna get over you.

A HQ download available at my vids site here.
On AO3 with lyrics and on Tumblr. Reblogs and shares are always welcome!


I've wanted to make this pretty much since the movie came out but I've been beating my head against a brick wall trying to make a different vid that won't come together. Pretty soon I think people will pay me to stop making Captain America vids, I have so many song ideas. But in the meantime, there's this.

I should note that some spots of the vid are significantly different than the one I showed at the con and that is on the DVD. I wasn't happy with that version and made some changes later--sorry for the inconvenience.

ETA a couple things: I really regret saying anything about the person calling it cheesy and poorly edited--I just thought that was hilarious in a snickery sort of way, and I didn't mean for everyone to feel bad for me, so I'm sorry about that. Honestly I was just poking fun at it as much as anything. And 2, someone informed me that trelkez made a Cap 1 vid to Sorrow a few years back. I didn't know this, and this developed entirely independently of that.

AUGH MY FEELS CRUMPLE

also this is NOT cheezy at all, jeez, it's restrained and sober and all the MORE heartbreaking for that, if anything. I know zilch about vidding but I really like the editing choices -- like Steve patting Bucky on the shoulder in the snazzy uniforms and then again when he's rescuing poor dazed Bucky (AUGH my heart), that's really nice. And all the shots of super sad Steve (ohmigod) trying to go on with his life after he's lost everything, it's so moody and pretty.

Aw, thank you! I just love Steve trying to get on with his life, and also kind of failing so miserably at it because he just doesn't know how to live without Bucky.

Also, I didn't want to hijack ranlore's journal, but yes, I am the person who wrote the artist!Steve story about the pictures, and I did in fact do the follow-up 2014 version with Bucky pining. I've also written Steve drawing him (and drawing on him) in the big epic I wrote last summer, Dark Approach. I definitely want to do more with him as an artist, too.

DUDE
UM, WHERE IS THAT? I LOOKED ON AO3 AND COULDN'T FIND IT unless it's part of the big epic story!


The song choice was also perfect, it's so quiet and heartbroken and also I kind of think of that as such a "guy song," the National is like the ultimate manpain-type sound (I mean, I like them! It's just so fitting). MUSIC TO BROOD OVER YOUR LOST SERGEANT BY.

My user name on AO3 is gwyneth, and you can find all my stuff there (at this point I have a fair amount of Cap stuff, and am working on more).

This is Color Theory, the follow-up to Every Picture Tells a Story: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2440196
It doesn't have much in the way of artist Steve, it's mostly at the end and in Bucky's memories of Steve drawing him like one of his French girls. ;-) But it definitely plays a part in how Steve rekindles his relationship with Bucky and in how Steve helps Bucky see the new world.

This is Dark Approach: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1706558
Steve's sketches play a part in the first chapter and then again at the end, and his artistic nature is kind of vaguely woven throughout (it's a coping mechanism for him in some ways).

OHH THERE IT IS
THANK YOU


also omg the uniform story was sweet and hilarious, also hott (Natasha knows where to get the GOOD replicas!)

Bucky had fallen in love with a skinny, mouthy, pugilistic little asthmatic with the heart of a lion and the soul of a saint, and he’d loved Bucky right back for all his faults and glories. Now they were a couple of broken, damaged relics displaced in time, orbiting around each other like derelict moons

AUGH that's beautiful. (And Steve's voice is bronze! And Steve saw fanart about him and Bucky! HEADCANON ACCEPTED)

[gwyn]

Hey, would you mind if I used "music to brood over your lost sergeant by" in a fic I'm working on? I've been coming up with all these playlist names in this thing but this one is actually about ten times more perfect for it than what I've called it so far.

Aww sure, go ahead! //is tickled and pleased
