Who Are You, Defenders of the Universe? by ohvienna was one of my favorite vids during Festivids this year, and the reason I started to watch the show in the first place. Haven't seen it recced here, so figured I would put up a link. Go. Enjoy. Shower with praise.

And if you ever want to tempt someone else into watching the show, I can assure you this vid is an effective trick to have up your sleeve ;)

I wrote this for alba17 for the rarewomen exchange. She asked for Elizabeth Jennings; her prompt: "Anything about the dual nature of her life and (how) she emotionally handles it; anything about her relationship with Phillip and how incredibly complicated it is."

Summary:
It was a recent photograph, taken in a department store portrait studio. I recognized them. They were perhaps ten years older than the last time I'd seen them; there was some gray in his hair, more lines on her lovely face, but they were still a striking couple. It was a long time ago, but it was an unusual case, plus I'd taken care of Elizabeth for nearly two months. "You want to know about Elizabeth and Philip Jennings. May I ask why?"

The man began to shake his head but the woman put a hand on his arm. "Yes. After our government changed hands, some of the records went missing. We're interviewing everyone who was involved with the illegals program, even peripherally, to try to piece some things together."
