What a great Sparktober this has been! Huge thanks to all the gif makers, fic writers, vidders, manippers, commenters, readers, shippers, watch party participants, and cheerleaders! Love to see a fandom thriving decades after a show has wrapped. <3 Special shout-outs to @havocthecat this year for running the fic exchange (fics have been revealed; go check them out!) and Theme Days, to @mylittleredgirl for Bingo Card prompts and the generator, and to @al-the-grammar-geek for facilitating Watch Parties! It's a labor of love! We collected lots of great suggestions for the 20th (!) anniversary next year, so keep following this Tumblr for notifications about the Airdate Anniversary and more starting next summer. That's a wrap!

I made an Elizabeth Weir fanvid, I got inspired by @krisrussel beautiful fanvid (here) and decided to make my own! 😍 It’s a remake of an old fanvid i made like a decade ago. It’s about Elizabeth’s journey with a touch of Sparky. Hope you guys like! 🤗 - watch it on youtube

This is one of my fave scenes in the show because of everything it shows without words. She's rattled, sure, and the others see, but the way he knows to say they're leaving right now, knows time is of the essence for the mission but also that she doesn't want to be in here for another second...

The way he stays behind when everyone else leaves, and she isn't surprised.

The way she drops her mask as soon as they're alone. The instant it's just them she deflates.

The way he's willing his words of "It's gonna be okay" to life with his stare.

If force of will was all it took to make things okay, these two would've been fine. 😢
