Am I Getting Through, by Keerawa (gen)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Characters: Benton Fraser, Ray Vecchio, Ray Kowalski
Format: fanvid 3 minutes 50
Author on Live Journal: http://keerawa.livejournal.com/
Author Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/keerawa/pseuds/keerawa
Why this must be seen: All of Keerawa's fanvids are elegantly and exquisitely done, but I'm completely blown away by this one (which is downloaded on my computer.) She obviously knows the series inside out, and uses clips from all seasons, including lesser known scenes to bring freshness to the stories that she paints. This vid follows Fraser's journey through the series, detailing his insecurities in his relationships, from his father, through his friends, and doesn't offer an answer to the question as to whether or not Fraser is getting through. We know that he wants to, we know that there are people in the world who he wants to reach, and who want to reach him (the two Rays particularly) but the loneliness of the song leaves the answer a hope rather than a certainty. I also love the way that locations (Canada and Chicago) are present as characters in their own right... very evocative. (You have to scroll down the page to find the relevant song, but believe me, it's worth it... as, by the by, are her other dS vids.)
