This is so, so lovely! It made me tear up with Elizabeth feels. I love the slowness of it, how it dares to dwell in every moment. And the sense of how they're both trapped in their life and work without escape and yet grounded in each other and their family. How Elizabeth is weighed down by the web of all her identities, but still with this unbreakable core of true feelings.

You're making me have all the emotions, here! Thank you so much! This is a beautiful gift. <3

Oh god this is so sad! I mean, brilliant - I love that just as the show parallels the politics and the marriage, so does this vid - but damnnnn, right in the feels.

This is lovely! Oh, Elizabeth. Oh, Philip. Oh, spylove.

Oooh, this vid is every bit as layered and complex as the ship! Just wonderful.
