In life, Basil and Harry loved one another: but beyond their Oxford days, they could never confront it. Basil died having never told Harry that he still loved him. He visits Harry from beyond the grave, to tell him how he died and to warn him against Dorian. At first, Harry is terrified, until Basil reminds him of the love they had shared, and shows him how he died.
With Dorian dead and the portrait returned to normal, Harry is alone again, and assumes Basil has moved on to the afterlife…
This is one of few, if not the first, Basil/Harry pairing video on YouTube! Jubilations.
My friend Veronica has wholly converted me to the idea that Basil and Harry had a continuous on/off romantic relationship from their meeting at Oxford, right up until Basil met Dorian, who threw things a little off kilter. I just wanted to make a little video for a pairing who, when viewed in the right light, are at once adorable, beautiful and tragic.
The song is “Half Boyfriend” by Jay Brannan, the clips are from Dorian Gray (2009).
