Oh, my little shipper heart. *clutches* This vid completely encapsulates the reason why I love Mal/Simon. :) I was trying to go at it from more than one angle, so that it could be taken as shippy on some levels, but not on all.
Mal is looking at Simon from the viewpoint of an older brother or even father. When vidding I wondered if that aspect would go along with the shippy part. Of course it would. This is the fandom that gave us Crazy Space Incest.
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). Thank you, I'm so glad that came through. I thought I was being too intellectual.
I echo Brad with the can't-believe-you're-thanking-us bit. You're both made of awesome.
