I took notes for a vid show report, of course, but it'll be a while before I type it up. In the meantime, however, I just HAVE to squee about the vid that moved into my heart and took up residence.

Here's a link to the vid: Eternal Holmes by Diana Williams

Here's what I said about it on the AO3 page:

"This vid reminds me of the opening two lines of Vincent Starrett's famous poem 221B:

Here dwell together still two men of note

Who never lived and so can never die

The first time I watched this vid, I saw the "eternal flame" of love between Holmes and Watson. The second or third time, I also thought of the "eternal flame" of love that fandom has long held for those two--the first fanfic I ever read was a collection of Holmesian "pastiches"--and how beautifully you depict so many different variations on the beloved Canon, as fandom continues its love across centuries and continents. ♥ ♥ ♥

There were many fine vids in the DC Slash 2021 vid show, but this one stood out as my very favorite. Thank you so much for all the time and talent you put into it for us to enjoy!"
