Harbors of Our Own is a Steve/Danny vid by elandrialore.

Summary: Danny was living in a glass half empty. Then Steve came along.

Vidder's notes:

This is for leupagus, because she totally got this song stuck in my head as the theme song for the boys and I listened to it about eight hundred and fifty million times in a row.

Recs and Reviews

One of the things that I try really hard to figure out when I'm writing is what each half of a relationship (or third or fourth, you know how that goes sometimes) brings to the mix--everybody needs to be getting something from their partner, right? This vid is a really nice mix of what Steve brought into Danny's life, but as you watch it, there's a lot of what Danny has brought into Steve's, too, all of which makes me v. v. happy.[1]

Steve/Danny. Danny POV that is so sweet and well-done and gave me warm fuzzies. (Song: Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng)[2]

OH MY GOD. I never leave comments on fanvids,and I never ever ever leave commentson Dreamwidth but this is ACTUALLY THE GREATEST THING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. THAT IS THE MOST PERFECT SONG EVER AND THE THINGS YOU PUT TO IT I WAS SMILING SO HARD INTO MY PILLOW MY FACE HURTS. It HURTS. I can't. I can't. I CANNOT DEAL, alkjsflksdfljds. I have to go eat my feelings or something.[3]

Wow...what a fantastic vid. The pacing of it, what clips you used for what parts of the song...very emotional. Loved it![4]

This is beautiful! The song fits perfectly for both of them and you've really captured the wonderful moments between them![5]

oh my god so beautiful! [personal profile] leupagus was totally right, this is so the theme song for the boys and it just kinda breaks my heart *__________*

Especially cause it ties in with my theory, that emotionally it would be Danny who would have a problem with the commitment thing, because he kind of ... was finished with the whole thing

He was burned there once and kind of got harder for it, while steve just doesn't know what to do with these feelings, but doesn't actively work against them (which is also the reason lamardeuse's Sinatra video fit Dannys POV so good)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL, BREATHTAKING VID

I would love to be able to download it^^ *off to rewatch it*[6]

Ugh ugh I am so in love with this vid you don't even know. I always feel like an idiot commenting on vids because it's I'm inevitably like, SO PRETTY, I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID BUT IT HAS MADE ME SO FULL OF FEEEEELINGS. ♥[7]

This is kind of amazing--all these clips are things that usually just make me giggle, and you've made them fit the mood of the song perfectly.[8]

So so lovely, but not just surface charm--I adore how clearly you've shown everything Steve's given to Danny, and the things Danny's given back to Steve. Thank you so much for this![9]

I'm late to the party but nonetheless, it's still a lovely video :) You showed some of the more beautiful, tender moments between the two of them I couldn't help smiling throughout.

'what do I do with a love that won't sit still' seems to fit them perfectly, they're such energy, with actions and words and their chatotic lives. Love it.

Thanks for sharing![10]
