Track: 'Flying So High' - Jem.
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Denise
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: "You can't know, oh no, you can't know, how much I think about you..." Season 6 did have a few redeeming moments, so I made the most of them. This show is well past its sell-by date and I keep trying to quit it, but I'll always be a slave to these two. Kim, why did you have to go and make me care so damned much?

Track: 'Take My Breath Away' - Berlin.
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Karen/Ivy
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of NBC.
Summary: Forget all of this Team Ivy versus Team Karen business, because clearly they belong together. The only dilemma I have is trying to focus on Karen's arms and Ivy's rack simultaneously. They've been growing on me week by week, and now their sexual tension can be seen from space. I had to pay homage!

( AND SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO... )

Track: 'Falling in Love (With My Best Friend)' - Matt White.
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Denise
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: "You don't really want to fall in love, you don't really want to mess this up." Sometimes crossing the line comes with a price.

Track: 'Hurt' (Leona Lewis).
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Featuring: Claudia Joy Holden
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Trigger Warnings: Attempted rape.
Summary: "I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real." Claudia Joy has the most ironic name in the world, because, damn, she's led a miserable life. The thought of the writers adding to her torment in the upcoming episode just makes me want to scream, so consider this my "SHE'S SUFFERED ENOUGH!!!" campaign. It's second only to my "GIVE KIM DELANEY ALL THE AWARDS!!!" campaign :P.

Track: 'Cry Me A River' (The Cliks).
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Denise/Jackie.
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: "You told me you loved me, why did you leave me all alone?" Claudia Joy can't forgive Denise for betraying her (and neither can I, for that matter).

Track: 'She's So High Above Me' (Tal Bachman)
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Roxy.
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: "Thank you, Claudia Joy, for once again making the world safe for tarts in tank-tops." Roxy thinks that Claudia Joy is completely out of her league, but Claudia Joy begs to differ ;). Denise, this is what you get for putting my perfect OTP in jeopardy. You cheat on your girlfriend, and I'll make her cheat on you. :P

Disclaimer: The characters don't belong to me, I just borrow them for my own amusement. 'Army Wives' is the property of Lifetime TV.

( YOU CAN FIND THE STORY UNDER THE CUT. )

Track: 'Kiss The Girl' (Colbie Caillat)
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Denise.
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: "Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do. Possible she wants you, too, there is one way to ask her." All that eyesex finally leads somewhere. Sort of. Just freakin' kiss the woman, Claudia Joy!

Track: 'Thank You For Being A Friend' (Andrew Gold)
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Fandom: 'Army Wives'
Featuring: Claudia Joy Holden, Denise Sherwood, Roxy LeBlanc, Pamela Moran (my CJ/Denise bias may be apparent).
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV.
Summary: I had to make something for Half A Moon, so here's yet another vid. I apologise in advance for the ridiculously cheesy song, but it's the only one I could find that complemented the theme. Well, sort of. I could've done without the "and when we die, and float away..." segment because, for once, I was aiming for upbeat instead of angsty, but beggars can't be choosers and all that.

So, here's my tribute to (in my humble opinion) some of the most tight-knit, loving, supportive, and femslashy female friendships on the box.

Track: 'Everybody Hurts' (The Corrs)
Compiled by: readthesubtext
Fandom: 'Army Wives'
Pairing: Claudia Joy Holden & Denise Sherwood

"Don’t let yourself go
‘Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes."

All the awards for Kim Delaney & Catherine Bell, who can turn me into a blubbering wreck with a single reaction shot. Roll on 4th March!

Title: 'Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder.'

Status: Complete @ 4350 words.
Pairing: Claudia Joy/Denise.

Pairing: Roxy LeBlanc & Pamela Moran
Disclaimer: This fanvid was made for pleasure, not for profit. All clips are the property of Lifetime TV. 
Summary: CJ/Denise may be my OTP for this show, but that doesn't mean I'm immune to what the other ladies have to offer. I have a sneaking suspicion that everyone's a closeted homo at Fort Marshall. There must be something in the water :P.

Compiled by: readthesubtext
Fandom: 'Army Wives'
Pairing: Claudia Joy Holden & Denise Sherwood

Summary: "If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this."

I had to make one last tribute to my favourite pairing of 2011 before the year's up. I know the song's a little on the... sentimental... side, but it's perfect for these two ♥.
