For my round 2 hc_bingo card. The challenge: work all 25 prompts into a single fill. The thought: with all the painful and/or cracky things "Stephen" goes through, I should be able to meet that challenge entirely with canon footage, right? (The answer: Yes.)

As you might expect, this vid gets a little random. It has a loose narrative, in that Jon and "Stephen" spend the whole thing circling each other while bad things happen to one or both of them; beyond that, it relies on atmosphere and aesthetic to hold together. And by "aesthetic" I mean "gleeful abuse of the crop tool."
