'Because the place that I feel safest

‎It was never there, never there at all.'

I know this musical style doesn't suit Jackson, but these lyrics...

Currents – Never There

[lunaryboggart]

'Poets will only say, "Let go of those rose bouquets"

They don't serve you anyway.'

This is probably the saddest Catherine and Jackson edit I've ever made. It reflects the most painful part of their relationship for me: the endless going in circles and their shared trauma.

When I listened to this track yesterday for the first time in several years, it made me cry, and then I had to make an edit because I immediately thought of them and couldn't keep it inside.

‎Happy birthday to the man who made us fall in love with Lamb! 💙

‎I love Gary not only for his talent and skill, but also for what an incredible person he is.

‎And of course, Jackson Lamb is my favorite role of his. So I made a quick edit. Nothing special, just a bit of dramatic Jackson and a reminder that Gary Oldman is irreplaceable ✨

Something might blossom here tomorrow...

You've probably guessed it, because of the signature vibe and Lambdish editing mastery accompanied by a Florence song - this trailer was created by the absolutely amazing @lunaryboggart! Just a few clues to work with and such a beautiful result... I keep replaying it myself and simply can't get over how much I love it.

Thank you for being part of this, for inspiring me all the time and for your many magical contributions to this fandom! We all love them to bits. They really mean a lot. 💛✨
