I was one of the ones cheering. How lovely to see a stylishly-cut classic slash vid for this warm-n-fuzzy pairing. I'm really impressed at how dynamic it is, given the limitations of the source. Also: feels, I haz them.

[jetpack_monkey]

I can haz all the Bashir/O'Brien feels. The healer who wants to solve everything and the engineer who can fix anything. *bounce*

They're my boys. *hugs them tight*

OMG this is 100% adorable.

[jetpack_monkey]

Space boyfriends! *flails*

[netgirl_y2k]

Oh, I love this! It's funny and charming and perfect, and I am having a massive attack of Bashir/O'Brien feels!

[jetpack_monkey]

I love 'em to pieces. Ornery, combative pieces.

awww, this was sweet!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

This ship didn't ever occur to me whilst watching DS( but this vid really sells the idea well and was very enjoyable.

I recently finished DS9 and promptly went looking for vids. Loved these two together on the show, their slow development (your summary quote is prefect by the way), and love how you captured them in this. <3

Yaaay you posted! So I will take this chance to say again how much I love the vid and how perfect it is. One of the highlights of the con for me was listening to the audience erupt in cheers for this at the show. So wonderful that it received the response you deserved for putting together such a terrific vid. Thank you again!

Space boyfriends! I love these guys and I am happy to give them a little time in the sun. They very much deserved the cheering and the applause.

And thank you! Thank you so much for providing the song and getting me off my ass to actually finish this vid.

This vid makes me sooooo happy. There's just not enough Bashir/O'Brien in the world.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

There really isn't.

[luztremula.livejournal.com]

Love this vid! These two were my favorite part of DS9!

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Mine too! Well them and all things Sisko.

PERFECT! Just adorable. Oh, you make me want to go and watch the whole damn thing all over again... it's been years, but I did love my Bashir and O'Brien! Thank you!!

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

They are really super-adorable together, aren't they? *squishes them*

[cass404.livejournal.com]

I loved Bashir and O'Brien on DS9 and this just make my heart squeak with happy.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you!

[ghost_lingering]

Awwwwwwwwwww! It's like all my middle school feelings coming back to life! This is so great and happy and wonderful and, just, <3<3<3<3 BASHIR. O'BRIEN. BFFS.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

They are the bestest BFFs. I love them. Thank you!

MORE DS9 VIDS IN THE WORLD, I say!

I enjoyed this. The clip at ~:55 of Bashir standing RIGHT behind O'Brien and grinning cracked me up; I didn't remember that slashy bit. And OMG, what you did at ~2:05 with them undressing and falling over the couch and stuff, LOL.

Am curious, did you or destina choose the song? I think it's really interesting to use it for Bashir/O'Brien rather than the (more obvious? too obvious?) Garak/Bashir.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

It's kind of hilarious actually. So I had a list of Bashir/O'Brien songs that were only kind of working for me. And Destina had this song. And I listened to the song and I said, "No, this is all wrong for those two. Just all wrong."

And then we agreed on one of my songs. I finished clipping, re-listened to my song and went, "Oh fuck. This is terrible."

So I went back to Destina's original song just to see if I could make it work. And I could. Because there is vid. And it turned out to be exactly the right song that I needed.

Ahahaha Bashirrrrrrr, I rather shipped him with Garak but BFF pairings will always have a place in my heart and this was a great use of the playful cheeky dynamic between the two. The whole thing left me grinning :D

Awww this is SO CUTE! I loved all the little moments of them alone being all date-y and that hug was sooo aww inducing. I'm so glad you were able to make such a great slash shipper vid :)

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

This brings me much space BFF joy. :D
