VideoYourEyes Author's Notes: I was not having a good time reading 54. When Rachel died, and anytime thereafter when she was mentioned, one of three songs was playing on my CD player: 'Seasons of Love', 'Without You', or 'Your Eyes'. Three very beautiful songs from RENT, three songs I'm not going to be able to listen to again without crying, probably ~sigh~ They're also three songs that lend themselves incredibly well to sappy music videos and song fics. Don't know when I'll get around to incorporating the other two songs into music videos/fics, but here's a slashy rendition of 'Your Eyes', from RENT.

19 year old Cassie is sitting on her bed, flipping through an old photo album. She stops when she finds a picture of her and Rachel, dated shortly before they moved to the valley.

Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise

Image wavers, we now see Rachel and Cassie, sitting alone in the valley, late at night with only the moon and stars for light.

The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes

Back to looking at pictures. Cassie flips to a page filled with Rachel's school pictures.

How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
'Cause there's something I should have told you
Yes there's something I should have told you

Close up on Rachel's eyes in the latest picture of her.

When I looked into your eyes

Flashback sequence, Cassie is watching Rachel's last fight

Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before the song dies

Rachel's final fall, shown in slow motion

I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you

Back to the present, close up on Cassie's face, her tear filled eyes.

You can see it in my eyes
