Falling

Heroes is my go-to for the Falling prompt, given Peter Petrelli is a perfect personification of it both physically and emotionally in the first season of the show. So here are a couple Peter & Nathan vids emphasizing this prompt.

Heroes - Peter and Nathan Two Brothers by Serienjunk [Video]
Heroes, Peter & Nathan Petrelli
Warnings: Burns, Gunshot Wounds
Falling is present in this vid from start to end: as Peter falls apart emotionally, as an overload of powers threatens to rip him and New York City apart, as his relationship with his brother falls apart and as he repeatedly falls in his efforts to fly. Through it all, however, Peter and Nathan continue to save each other and catch each other as they fall both in a physical and emotional context. The use of Imogen Heap's 'Hide and Seek' is also a perfect choice, given it emphasizes the struggle of the brothers and how they hide from though inevitably find one another in the end.

Heroes, Peter & Nathan Petrelli
Warnings: Torture, Head Injuries
This video shows Peter's efforts to prove himself and be someone even a fraction as important as his big brother. He refuses to be dissuaded by Nathan in his attempts to fly and later in his duty to save the cheerleader and then the world, even at the cost of his own life. Nathan also cannot be dissuaded from attempting to protect Peter from himself and those set to use and abuse him. Even though Nathan catches Peter each time he falls, they eventually fall far past any attempts at reconciliation.

Political Animals is a great example of the Falling prompt, given the series seems to me to be half about TJ Hammond falling to pieces over different time periods of his life due to pressure, rejection, alcohol, drugs and depression. It's a lot of fun watching TJ struggle to pull himself together and prove himself while he inevitably drags the rest of his family down right along with him. So here are some video recs centering around TJ struggling and ultimately falling apart.

Political Animals, TJ Hammond and family
Warnings: Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Suicide Attempt, Drug Overdose, Depression, Verbal Abuse
It's so devastating how TJ feels he needs to turn to alcohol and drugs just to keep himself relatively sane and this video perfectly encapsulates that. We see TJ go through a wide array of emotions: anger, shock, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, rejection and even happiness. His parents always reach him a step too late, unable to catch him before he plummets to the Earth and yet able to coax him back to life to go through it all over again. What a tragic character.
