perverse_idyllI signed up to post Twelve/Clara recs at the worst possible time of year; December turned out to be a fannish black hole. However, I still have the recs lined up, and if no one objects, I'd like to post them over the next couple of weeks. Apologies for my tardiness, and I hope a few people enjoy what follows.
Twelve/Clara is an intensely co-dependent ship, unhealthy and obsessive and beautiful, bringing out the best and the worst in both of them. It led to great sacrifices and great betrayals, and to the Doctor nearly cracking apart time and space rather than face a universe without Clara. All three of these vids emphasize those aspects of their relationship and this particular Doctor's reaction to loss.

Creator: Rebel Timelord
Rating: Gen
Length: 2:06
Creator's Summary: "this video is meant to explore the dysfunctionality of the relationship between the Twelfth Doctor and Clara and the idea of their addiction to each other."
Characters/Pairings: Twelve/Clara
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: The score is haunting, the clips are well-chosen to suggest how Twelve and Clara mirror each other, even to the way they stand, arms outspread, when death comes for them. The mood is ominous, hypnotic, and darkly romantic.

Characters/Pairings: Twelve/Clara
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: The music chosen for this vid mimics the unnerving tick of a cosmic clock, which gives the vidder a structure for building up suspense. The narrative focuses on the Doctor's time in the confession dial, the endlessly circling torment, hinting at his obsessive train of thought. It's spell-binding and almost dizzying, as if we're trapped inside the Doctor's mind watching the centuries pass and replaying Clara's death.

Creator's Summary: "So here is my take on twelve/clara era"
Characters/Pairings: Twelve/Clara
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: KatrinDepp is an amazing vidder, and her skill at matching clips to beats and building a breathtaking arc has won this vid a lot of well-deserved praise. It's sharp and precise in its whip-crack visual style, relentless in its pacing, melancholy and fierce rather than sentimental. It makes you scramble to keep up, which isn't a flaw but an aesthetic pleasure, and it illustrates how powerful and potentially lethal a grief-maddened Doctor might be. The whole thing is stimulating and beautifully composed, a portrait of Twelve's more desperate side. I've watched it at least a dozen times, and it never fails to thrill me.
