Peter Petrelli & Emma: Pour a little light on me, 'cause now we get to fly (Fleurie's "Constellate")

Watch in HD if you can! Please turn on the closed captions (CC) for my transcription of the voiceovers, the lyrics, or both! Use the settings gear ⚙️to toggle between the choices. I really want you to appreciate how amazingly this entire song works for this sweet ship where Emma's power is light-related & Peter's introduction in s1 was all about him being able to fly... especially the part I put in the title, ♪ Pour a little light on me, 'cause now we get to fly ♪ 😊 Oh and it's the Piano and Strings version of the song, the exact two types of instruments Emma plays on the show!
Yes this fandom is a blast from the past!
Check out my playlist of ALL my past vidding of the series Heroes right here: • Heroes vids of mine (note most were made under my old "luvtheheaven" username, but I changed at the start of 2021 to VioletEmerald.)
I also have a playlist of just Peter Petrelli based fanvideo/vidding of mine: • Peter Petrelli vids of...
Or skip here to one of the first moments of me vidding a little bit of Peter/Emma in a general series vid: • Heroes Cast - ["Storm"... ;) I definitely always preferred Peter/Emma out of all of Peter Petrelli's options of romantic ships on the show. Emma Coolidge was a character I definitely wished we'd gotten more of. Although I've vidded Peter/Simone & Peter/Caitlin. I actually vidded them before season 4 would bring this adorable ship to us.
I first saw these episodes over 13 years ago, when season 4 aired end of 2009 into February 2010. But only a few months ago in February I was uploading all my collab parts for NBC's TV series Heroes and I was reminded of this ship and a bunch of other aspects of this show though those collab parts, and I never got the chance to vid with my 1080p versions of the episodes hardly at all since finally obtaining/downloading them, and part of me did really want to make good use of them. But I wasn't really planning to vid Heroes any time too soon.
But I've been unrelated really trying to get back into writing fanfiction since the end of last year and learning new things about story structure and how to write satisfying story arcs in fiction, and I was brainstorming unique asexuality related plotlines I might like to write since I'm asexual, and asexual representation in fiction is something that matters a lot to me and one day I hope to write and publish am original fiction novel with asexuality as a big backdrop to a lot of what's going on in it.
But for now, my focus is on fanfiction, and at one point it just suddenly hit me that likely unexplored territory for an ace/allo romance would be Emma/Peter!
I realized Emma & Peter were a ship of mine that never kissed on the show and we have no evidence contradicting a headcanon that Emma might be kissing-averse and sex-averse ace like me, so this would be a wonderful opportunity for me to practice writing a more unique ace/allo romance story arc. I remembered their final scene after a long separation and huge dire stakes both literally and emotionally was to run into a hug and that just felt like such a wonderful inspiration for an ace based fic I wanted to write.
So I started rewatching only scenes related to Peter or Emma in season 4 to prepare to write the fic. But I'm a vidder first and foremost and of course once I started my rewatch I couldn't help myself. I was freshly reaquainted with scenes and I really wanted to vid them too now that I knew the canon scenes inside and out. So I edited the vid first before even writing the fic. I ended up clipping them all as I rewatched so I have a collection of just Peter/Emma scenes/their storyline if anyone wants the link to them. Just ask! ~~~ Sidenote: it'll be my 2nd ace-themed fic featuring a Deaf character, which is an interesting coincidence to realize. I've been outlining a fic and I'm excited and still going to write it. But in the meantime... I've made a new fanvideo. This is my first solo (non-collab) fanvideo I've been able to finish and post since December with my Logan/Veronica "The Great War" vid, so first vid I've posted in 4.5 months, but in March I made 2/3rds of another solo vid for yet another fandom that I do hope to finish in the coming month or so. I finished 2 vids within a month ish of each other November and December and hope maybe I can do that here in May/June ish too, we'll see. My previous solo vid before the Veronica Mars one was a multi-fandom one ("Would've, Could've, Should've").
Please please PLEASE take the time to comment for me. It would mean the world to me to hear from you!
Thanks for reading if you got this far, and thanks for watching! I'm so happy with how this turned out. Fleurie is such a lovely musical artist, and I'm glad to have finally vidded her (outside of a short collab part).

This is so beautiful. I miss this series so much.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you! I hope you check out my other Heroes vidding!

[@Supsi85]

Obviously the song works very well :D That's so beautiful and really nice job matching the parts about flying and light.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you so much! You were my inspiration to finally vid Fleurie and scour all her songs until I found one that fit really well ;)

[@Eventyrpige]

This is beautiful! I don’t really know much about this show but you’ve gotten me invested in this dynamic :)

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you so much!

[@Smurfa85]

I finally got to watch & comment this wonderful video of yours 🤩 Their relationship look really sweet, I love how he was able to turn her power (which was destroying apparently) into an amazing thing for people around her. The lyrics seem to fit their story so well and you did an incredible job matching them with scenes and fitting quotes. This makes me want to start the show!! 🧡🧡 Also, it makes me so happy that you got to create this beautiful video!

[@VioletEmerald]

Her power stuff is a little more complicated than that and the order of things in this video isn't chronological. Not sure the choices they made with her power actually made sense based on what was established earlier that season either. But I hope you watch the show and can see what they actually do with her power eventually! Thank you so so much for the lovely comment! Means a lot to me that you watched and enjoyed it.

This is so beautifully edited! I LOVE the voiceovers that you used. I actually really need to do a re-watch of this entire series, because I do remember their relationship in the show, but I totally forgot some of these moments they shared. Another beautiful job Emily.

[@VioletEmerald]

Thank you so much!! 😊 That means a lot to me!
