kerk_hiraeth | Fanvids for Halfamoon Day 6 ~ Music ep.1 Zoe & Rasha from Degrassi Next Class

Since I'm not going to get many more fics done, I thought I'd post some fanvids for the Day 6 theme; choosing some of my favourite fanvids of my favourite couples, and I thought I'd start with the first non-Buffyverse couple to really capture my imagination; or at least the one where I began looking for vids.

  Zoë Rivas arrived at Degrassi at the start of S13 of Next Gen and her gay story was being written into her characters arc in very subtle ways almost from the start, but began to 'come out' *sorry* when she developed feelings for a close friend, Grace Cardinal. While Grace tried to return the feelings she eventually confessed that she was straight and could not be Zoë's girlfriend.

Between then and the finale of S2 of Next Class Zoë followed a self-destructive path of denial before she finally came out to her boyfriend Winston Chu after he rejected her advances, sensing she was hiding something from herself.

In the opener of S3 Rasha Zuabli was one of a number of Syrian refugees who arrived at Degrassi, and very quickly the two became girfriends and were eventually open by S4; meanwhile Zoë having been kicked out of the family home after dancing publicly with Rasha at he mother's wedding.

I've written a fic from Rasha's POV called Love is Patient, Love is Kind archiveofourown.org/works/21538003 which was supposed to have had a twin by now, but while I keep going over scenes in my head, nothing has yet made it to pencil & paper.

Hope you enjoy the vids.
