VID REC: Popslash - "Come Back To Me"
Vidder: Mette
Musical artist: Trading Yesterday
Pairing: AJ/Brian
Vidder on LJ:

Vidder's website: http://yours-completely.org/ or, better updated, her YouTube account.
Why this vid kicks ass: You're very hard pressed to find decent vidders in the popslash community (we're mostly a fanfic/graphics based fandom), especially ones that are active in the fandom. Hence why Mette is getting vid rec'd in back to back months (but she totally deserves it!). I had my pick, pretty much, of any of her videos (except "Till Death Do Us Part," which was rec'd last month), so why this one?
It's the only pairing vid she's done for this fandom, and while I love gen vids, pairing based vids are my cup of tea because I love seeing how others interpret the subtext in the same videos I've been watching (that, and I'm sucker for romance!). (Oh, and I don't know how awkward it would be to rec a Backstreet video set to a Backstreet song XD)
This is a rare rec for me for two reasons: It breaks up my OTP (which you wouldn't realize was rare as I've only rec'd my OTP once this month), but it also leaves Nick out of the equation (I'm a Nick girl through and through), but the quality of the video is amazing (well, as amazing as you can get with some of the source material we have at our disposal). It also clearly conveys what it set out to do: Tell the story of two young men who can't live without each other.
