Creator's Notes:
I've long had a spreadsheet matching up the filmographies of Tom and Eddie by era, in the hopes of someday making an FMV or gifsets around the theme of them reincarnating over the centuries, always fated to return to each other in some way. While I have every single work from their filmographies saved, this is a HUGE and daunting task. Even just pulling screenshots from all these different videos took me all of my free time for the past week.
Some artistic license was taken and choices were made to accommodate both the format and the vibes (matching angles, lighting, and aesthetics is crazy difficult so you have to be flexible).
For instance, Effie Gray is set in the late 1840s and The Aeronauts in 1862--the closest match I could make for either movie.
Eddie in Les Mis is in the 1830s--not really Regency era at that point, though the fashion/hair still bears some Regency vibes. Widow Clicquot is around 1805, but they styled Tom in more of a 1790s style (which makes sense for people in the countryside who aren't keeping up the the latest fashions. See also: the choices in 2005 Pride and Prejudice.)
Tom appears in Vanity Fair in a much more standard Regency outfit but it's such a limited scene and the outfit is so so flamboyant that it didn't match well with Tom's Les Mis attire. Tom's role as Lord Byron in Mary Shelley also puts him closer in style to the Les Mis look, but he's just SO cunty and serving cunt in that film that it didn't feel like the right match either.
There is, in fact, a scene in Birdsong when Eddie holds a gun to someone else's face AND a scene in Journey's End when someone else holds a gun to Tom's face. It writes itself.
