"Closer" wasn't the first vidfic I saw by about a decade, and I'm really not fond of the song, which together probably accounts for why it didn't impress me as much. However, I am totally in agreement with you about loving to be inspired by vids. I have a playlist of songs which I listen to when pondering certain fandoms, and over half of the associations are owed to vids I've seen.
I've seen a number of vids lately that have pon farr as a motif, and this one seemed like a refreshing take on it; not just working with the theme, but looking at it from a new angle. It also works well with this particular vidder's expressed opinion that Spock and Kirk weren't physically involved until after the series, with this as a possible Spock pov on why.
Also, the song blew me away.
My due South fannishness doesn't show on my journal nearly as much as other things -- currently primarily Star Trek. X3 But it's an old, long-loved fandom for me, and I don't have much new to say. Every now and then I post fic-recs, that's pretty much it. Thank you for friending me! I will stalk your journal for dS goodness now. ;3
