Oh, my little shipper heart. *clutches* This vid completely encapsulates the reason why I love Mal/Simon. Whether you intended to be shipper or not, I'm reading it very much so, because my reading of the 'ship always begins from the premiss that Mal is looking at Simon from the viewpoint of an older brother or even father. There's this tremendous sense of pride and love and sorrow, watching this younger version of yourself (in a way) struggle through the world that you helped create (and at the same time couldn't change, despite your best intentions). The way that Simon is lit up in the gradient & colouring just pushed that notion so poignantly. And, oh, the pacing absolutely fills me with joy.
And wow, a thanks! I echo Brad with the can't-believe-you're-thanking-us bit. But hey, if you did Mal/Simon cos you know I adore Mal/Simon, then that's pretty damn cool. ;)
