You're here, aren't you? by @bravelostgirl (RedMoon3434 on YouTube)

In this case, it's part of Eliot's journey to returning to himself.

I love the way the dialogue matches what El is going through. The edit shows how wonky it would feel to learn you're trapped in your mind. I love how Q reassures El even within this mind palace.

That moment when they're sitting with Margo snacking and catching up. Q and Eliot are sitting across from each other. And they're kind of gazing at each other, moment by moment, only we don't really "experience" it that way because the cameras keep cutting between them. We get Q in a one-shot, and El & Margo are together on the couch, but we don't really see all three of them, or Q & El, during that same scene. But if you look at the direction of their faces, you can see that Eliot and Quentin are (of course) actually looking at each other. And there's just this pensiveness. I feel like the memories are already there--they do get "woken up" by the peach and the letter--when the memories flood back--but the memories are already inside them--slumbering--but maybe also kind of jumping about a little, waiting to be discovered.

These are just two screenshots of moments when I'm positive they're looking straight at each other (from the direction of the gaze; from where they're seated in relation to each other). And we know they're kind of trying to figure out what happened, on the quest that never was (mentioned in this conversation). That look in Eliot's eyes...that somberness on Quentin's face...it's like they're both aware they had something precious, and it was connected to each other, and it's lost now...on a gut level, I think a part of them already knows.

You can see it here, as well--just after the conversation, just when they are walking back through the clock and into Fillory...

I needed to brighten this up for art purposes. This was as good as I could get. There's not much detail in the original. Thought you might enjoy seeing it a little more clearly, though.
