fandom snowflake challenge 2019 - day two

Day 2
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
- For some reason, just now I can't get a vid from, whoo, the late 1990s or so out of my head. And I've never been a vidder, so I don't remember who made it (but I'd love it if you told me so I could credit appropriately): "Standing Outside the Fire," the Garth Brooks song, and - maybe a Star Wars vid or maybe multifandom, now that I think about it. My researches have not turned it up nor any discussion of it. [eta: Fanlore suggests it was by
dkwilliams, which rings a bell, but it doesn't turn up on her AO3 page, her vid site, or her YouTube channel; maybe it only exists on that AWS compilation?] But there is a bit where the lyric of the refrain goes with a clip of the duel between Luke and Vader in the throne room at the end of Return of the Jedi, and even back in (what I believe were) the Days of Vidding Using Two or More VCRs, Not Like You Can Do Now with All Digital Everything, the timing of the beats with the lightsabers meeting was perfect. I've always admired that.
- With the Return of Everyone from Tumblr I've seen
resonant around lately for the first time in a wee while, which has reminded me of her Harry Potter story Transfigurations (and what was generally an easier—though not necessarily happier, I guess?—time in my life for a whole variety of reasons). I haven't read that story in yonks, but I loved it very much at the time she was writing it.
- A former co-worker made a quilt for my kid that has foxes (for me) on one side and musical notes (for Himself, because Reasons, but also for both of us) on the other and the quilting stitches are in circles and other shapes reminiscent of Circular Gallifreyan and it just generally makes me very, very happy.
