this is probably one of the best fanvids ive ever seen (and definitely my favorite from the leverage fandom) the editing is so so good. the match cuts with hardison/parker kissing and parker/eliot doing the eyebrow thing kill me in the best way. a+
[Kaegri]
I love love love the way you introduce them by individual pairs. Adorkable OT3, favourite characters together in one vid with a gorgeous song~ I can't contain my love for this tribute.

This is so dang good. Unf. I've watched it several times over the last few days.

I just CANNOT get over this perfect vid and I need everyone to come wallow with me in how INCREDIBLE it is.[1]

ladybusiness, 2016:

This vid is my go to whenever I want to feel my heart lift. It really captures the weirdness and delight of this OT3, and how deeply all three characters love each other. There's a wonderful moment when all three of them are on screen together for the first time and the vid just explodes with joy.[2]

Dreamwidth user sophia_sol, 2020:

I love this ot3 a lot (Hardison/Parker/Elliot) and this vid is wonderfully them. So lovely. I love how much of the focus of the vid is on them being there for each other and supporting each other.[3]

fancake rec by runpunkrun, 2020:

Twings expertly triangulates the Alec/Parker/Hardison relationship, putting all the legs in place and showing how well they work together and how much they love each other, and it makes me all choked up with joy.[4]
