Loved this vid! Such a lovely, three-dimensional narrative with the perfect balance of Steve's and Peggy's stories, and their relationship. ♥

[kass]

I love this vid, because I love the way you give Peggy her own narrative arc, her own heroic journey, which is every bit as amazing and superhero-y as Steve's. And you don't ignore what's tragic in their time-shifted romance -- but you also don't let it be the whole story; even though they're apart and missing each other, they're still living the lives they were meant to live, still saving the world every damn day.

[swizzlespoon]

kass nails the things I love about this vid so I'm seconding this comment.

Really great.

[isagel]

So lovely!

[kiriel123]

This vid was fantastic! It was so hopeful, while still highlighting the fact that they missed each other. I really enjoyed watching it.

[no_detective]

Oh wow, amazing work - it both acknowledges the losses they've survived (each other included) and the amazing, superheroic lives they've lived (and continue to live). ♥

[sunrayravine]

I've watched this 3 times in a row and it got better every time. I love how full of energy and hope it is. How you capture the sadness of their romance but also parallel how they are both fighters and survivors. My favourite moment is the first time the chorus comes in at 1:12 and you cut from peggy putting on her sunglasses to jumping on the car. Perfect.

[endeni]

Aw, terrific work! *_*

[meri_oddities]

I just loved, loved, loved this vid. It was fantastic. I loved the whole narrative. It totally worked for me. Thanks for posting.

[cathexys]

My absolutely favorite vid of the premieres. I feel even in Agent Carter, Steve's still the hero to Peggy and to us, and you beautifully show us how she is just as much a heroine as he is, that they are equals, and that they both know that and appreciate that about one another. I also like how their love affects and changes them but doesn't fully define them. A really gorgeous, moving, smart, powerful vid. Thank you so much for this!!!

[sholio]

Ahhhhh, this is so great! :D Really excellent mirroring of their respective storylines (I love some of the mirror points you chose, such as Sam+Steve vs Peggy+Angie, or Peggy's fight with Dottie and Steve's with Bucky). And overall this has such a wonderful triumphant mood and energy, despite the struggles, sorrow and tragedy of both their lives. I know I'll be rewatching this one many times. :D

A: this made me cry, and I may, in fact, still be suffering from water doing some weird thing where it insists on being on my face. B: my Retina Display thanks you for the huge version.

I love all the parallels, and the one that stands out especially is Peggy being taken in/Rumlow capturing Steve, and... yeah. Everything.

[rabid_bookwyrm]

Yay!

[grav_ity]

*recovers from being punched in the feels*

Anyway, I loved the mirroring of them! There were quite a few occasions where the clips you chose for the first half telegraphed the clips that would be in the second half, and then I was all "OH GOD MY FEELINGS" the whole way through BOTH halves. Very nicely done.

[kore]

What a beautiful, heartbreaking vid. I loved all the parallels between Steve and Peggy which emphasized how alike they were, and how they didn't let tragedy stop them but went on to have their own lives and were still connected with each other.

[kore]

the mirror points you chose, such as Sam+Steve vs Peggy+Angie, or Peggy's fight with Dottie and Steve's with Bucky

YES, Peggy/Dottie and Steve/Bucky was really amazing.

[ranalore]

That was amazing. I love that the importance of the characters to each other was acknowledged, but I love both that the acknowledgement wasn't allowed to undercut Peggy's story, and that not allowing it to undercut Peggy's story reinforced how much of an impact her example made on Steve. And all of the parallels were beautifully done. I got choked up a few times.

[cofax7]

Oh, man, what she said. This was FANTASTIC. So much emotion and characterization and narrative in it, with brilliant movement and song choice and parallelism. So great!

[spatz]

Well, I'm sobbing like crazy now, congratulations. *sniffs* Gorgeous work on drawing parallels between Peggy and Steve's grieving, but also giving them their own lives. It hits that perfect note of hope and moving on while still making you cry over how great they might have been together.

[goodbyebird]

I absolutely adored this vid in the stream, cannot wait to watch it a bunch more times. THESE TWO ♥

[kouredios]

And so parallel! That's the wonderful thing a vid can do. Line up their stories so visually like this. Love it.

[jb_slasher]

I am in love with this vid. STEVE AND PEGGY, PEGGY AND STEVE, AND PEGGY, AND STEVE. <3<3<3<3<3

[such_heights]

This made me FEEL ALL THE FEELINGS. What a beautiful tribute to them both.

[silverhare]

*ugly crying*

So beautiful. Dammit.

[tassosss]

I love this! I love how instead of leaving Peggy to pine you get to show how she lives her own life, and how her badassery is mirrored by Steve's years later.

[brainwane]

Great song choice, of course, and I particularly appreciated the mirroring of those two "oh shit I'm getting arrested" moments.

And of course my heart warmed at the reconnection in the last clip.

[flummery]

Thank you so much! *beams*

[flummery]

♥ ♥ ♥

[flummery]

Thank you!

[flummery]

Yay, thank you so much!

[flummery]

The sheer scope of the parallels crept up on us as we made the vid - it was so very cool to see that emerging. Thank you!

[flummery]

Thank you!

[flummery]

Thank you so much!

[flummery]

*beam* Thank you so much!

[flummery]

\o/ thank you!

[flummery]

Oh, thank you so much! <3 <3 <3

[flummery]

*beams at you* Thanks!!

[yourlibrarian]

Thirding the comment -- Peggy was Agent Carter before Steve came along and it's good to see her story alongside rather than overshadowed by his. Enjoyed the vid.

[thingswithwings]

Somehow I missed this until now! Oh my gosh I love it so much. It's everything about their relationship and their determination that I love. That ending with Steve smiling and Peggy holding his hand because they're both living amazing lives even though they mostly missed each other . . . gorgeous. And the Sam/Steve and the Peggy/Angie!!! Amazing concept and beautifully executed. Will be rewatching this one a lot. <333
