I realised I hadn’t actually gotten around to doing my own Desert Island Chryed – shame on me. Looking at everyone else’s lists I found myself nodding in complete agreement, awwing and squeeing at the descriptions…and yet it’s also so sad because so many great scenes have had to be omitted. So I decided to do my very own Alternative Desert Island Chryed – a list which is compiled using only scenes which no-one else has mentioned, but which still succeeds in representing the story, I think (although no kissage – you biatches have already nabbed all the kisses). Hopefully my desert island will have at least one other WFCTGIO member stranded on there as well, in which case we can trade from time to time...
...and, just for kicks and because I'm bored: PARALLEL UNIVERSE DIC (where Syed didn’t choose Christian…aka Cyanide Pill Version...because being stranded on a desert island can get pretty bleak) 1. Syed proposes to ATO 2. Creepy Syed returns from seeing the Imam and mugs ATO with his mouth 3. “I want to run my hands all over you” 4. Stairway scene from hell 5. Mas tells Christian about the baby 6. Qadim beats up Christian 7. “It’s better that you were dead” 8. Flour scene (slash version…where C is having a nightmare that he’s playfighting with MJ) Song: No Surprises (Radiohead) – beautiful, one of my favourite songs, but…yeah. The words "carbon monoxide" feature... Clothing for Syed: clown shirt Clothing for Christian: golf outfit (what else) ![]() Had to LOL at the cyanide pill list here - you masochist!

Love your list Diamonddust! We agree on quite few, don't we? I can see you're also a Superman girl
- if there was ever one I had no doubts about.... that's the one!There's a few on your list that I was feeling quite bad about leaving out on mine... so this compensates rather nicely Cheers!

I'd forgotten too! Watched it last night and laughed at the gratituous nakedness! And I LOVE the argument where Syed accuses Christian of being the blackmailer for the sexual tension! OMG...
But 'I'm not your boyfriend' still makes me . You are now Syed!

Love your alternative list, VF - lovely idea to rescue some of the scenes that the rest of us have been forced to throw in the sea because we couldn't let go of domestic chryed or NYE kiss or superman or... all the hundreds of other perfect scenes. It just reminds me how many truly brilliant scenes there have been in the course of the s/l (and need to rewatch...). I have loved reading the scene descriptions in everyone's DIC, and these ones were a special treat because they're scenes that (well ok with one exception!) haven't been mentioned so far.
Just had to quote this one, because this 'No I wouldn't' was one of my favourite bits of the reveal, and it compensates for any amount of screaming banshee for me. Your description of it is perfect. I know there was disagreement at the time about what the line was meant to signify, and it does have several layers of meaning, but I choose to see it exactly as you describe it here. Parallel Universe DIC? La la la la la la la *fingers in ears* Definitely didn't hear that |

VF loved your list! I really can't wait to see the final result and how many of us have chosen the same scenes...
Now...is there a way that once you've collated all the lists we could do something like "The Runners Up"...maybe 5 scenes that would have made our lists but because of the constrains *shakes fist* of only choosing 8 scenes we were unable to include...please!!! *she says with a sweetie pie voice*

You know how little things annoy you? I have just seen a typo in my DIC post, in the bit you quoted. It's now too late to edit as well - grr. Oh well, I'll choose to see it as a Freudian slip rather than a typo: Syed affirms his feelings and reassures He-man he loves. It's not wrong

Am off now for a few hours...
It's go-see-the-parents, do good-daughter duties... for me now. Only came on to post my list, but of course been here longer than supposed to and now running late...As usual. Who said that about Chryed taking over their life? Thanks for all the lovely comments about my list! Means a lot... it was really hard work! The things we do for Chryed...*shakes head in disbelief* See you all later then, probably on part 52 ???

1)What list would be complete without the First Kiss?
My stomach still, even now, swoops when Christian grabs Syed’s arm, when Christian looks at Syed’s lips and Syed kisses him. I remember my reaction when I saw the first kiss. It was surprise. Even though I’d read spoilers and knew it was going to happen, I wasn’t convinced. My reaction on another forum when I heard about it: I didn’t find the idea convincing at all. Then I saw the kiss. I’d be lying if I said I was hooked instantly. I was shocked, but I wasn’t very interested. 2) Then came.... SUPERMAN That was the moment I fell in love with Chryed, hook line and sinker. ( )Some find it cheesy but I laaaave it. I remember my first ever SQUEE coming out. That’s around the time I signed up to DS. 3) Perfect Moment. Just beautiful and sensual and sexual and... perfect. Like there was no one else in the world but them. Even when Mas saw them, neither one seemed particularly spooked! 4)Alley Kiss- Love how they were speaking about their significant others but couldn’t resist the pull of each other. Plus Syed’s hair in the wind and hot kissage was a nice bonus! 5) Vic ILY. I do love mutual ILY but I watch the Vic one more. Why? Because I find it more beautiful that Christian couldn’t stop himself from drunkenly saying it and Syed couldn’t tear his eyes away from him. The hand hold was Syed saying I love you too without saying it. Mutual ILY doesn’t have the same romance for me because Syed pretty much had to be coached through it. It’s still beautiful and of course Syed meant it but I prefer the Vic one. 6)Forehead kiss. I love Christian selflessly letting Syed go, despite them both wanting to be together. I hate how they’re both broken. Christian’s little smile when Syed says ‘It’s an Asian thing’ then Syed ditching the pretence of small talk and trying to apolpgise. That forehead kiss never ceases to make me cry. There’s nothing sexual in it at all, it’s pure love. 7) Let’s go home. I love everything about this scene. I love how Syed tells Christian he wants to be proud of himself as a gay man, the way Christian lovingly says ‘I can do that’. The tentative way Syed touches Christian’s face. The way Christian’s eyes close in bliss. The way Syed says ‘I don’t think you can go to hell for having loved’ (my favourite Chryed line of all time). I think this scene encapsulates the core values of the storyline, Syed’s love for his faith, his equal love for Christian. The reticence to give up any part of who he is after trying for so long to suppress his sexuality, the disapproval from Masood and Zainab mimicking the disapproval from the rest of the community. The way Christian is just THERE, not touching Syed, not doing anything but being a steady presence. Then the walking away. The way Christian doesn’t take Syed hand, knowing it should be Syed’s desicion to ‘go home’ and somehow knowing he’ll follow him. The way Syed nervously puts his hand on Christian’s back and without any words, Christian embracing him. Then JULIA’S THEME. Everything about this scene, from the tangent about wide hips and stringy meat, to Christian’s understated, almost sombre expression is perfect IMO. 8) Finally, ‘Love you for it’ + kiss. Beautiful and tender and sweet. Syed realising how much Christian loves him and also how much he loves Christian FOR loving him unconditionally. I love the way it sort of mimics the first kiss, in terms of them having an argument and Syed kissing him, except this time there is no hesitation, only pure love. It’s just a gorgeous scene. I love how Christian is willing to do anything to understand Syed. Perfect song: ‘Stand by Me.’ Always makes me think of CHRYED not Syed and Amira, because the boys must have had a similar moment to that song and so it is THEIR song. Perfect clothes: Christian in the suit he wore for Syed and Amira’s wedding, Syed in leather jacket, jealousy shirt and jeans or the sort of Asian type shirt he wore during the first kiss ep OR the clothes he wore for his wedding where he looked like a prince. Except this time for his civil partnership with Christian! There. *goes to watch scenes again* Re Vic ILY - I totally agree, I don't actually like mutual ILY very much for the reason you gave, much as I like Syed's relief/Christian's happiness at the end. The walk/chat is all a bit cheesy for me, and I don't like the arm twisting 'SAY IT SYED' very much - but that's just me. The Vic ILY/handhold is my mutual ILY. Quote:
Quick... before I change my mind! Here's the rest...
(5) CAFE WEDDING DAY – that .... well.... it breaks my heart, but it's the bit of the whole wedding saga I have watched the most. Syed looking so grown up, but so vulnerable too. Trying to convince Christian he's making a well-thought-through, well-advised decision... and trying to convince himself too... but failing quite miserably if you ask me... But somehow he seems so calm, so sure here... He knows somehow that he's making the wrong decision, but he still makes it. The tragedy of the whole story is here, he has to make an impossible choice : “I'm gay and.... and I love YOU. I wish I didn't, but there you go”. Lump-in-throat sad. Wow! I still have tears in my eyes when I watch Christian reach out for his hand and say “then BE with me”. Syed pulls back his hand – rather reluctantly and quite gently I believe – and that, just that little moment, is the bit of this whole scene that absolutely grabs me by the throat. Christian asks him why he's come. And then you know that Syed is just kidding himself. His voice breaks (and so does my heart) as he says “Because I miss you... because I wanted to see you...”. I can hardly bear it to watch it, but I can't not watch it.. over and over and over and over.... (6) FIRST KISS – because here is where I fell in love with the story. Straightaway. Love at first sight, there and then! Christian telling Syed to go, Syed saying “I can't” - his eyes wild and he's probably asking himself what the hell he's doing... But he's clearly wanted this for so long. There's been discussion about the kiss, but it was just right. Syed is probably scared out of his mind doing this, but he's wanted it for so long, you can sense it. There's this proud “out there” guy he's slowly been growing nuts about, and he himself has been hiding his doubts and fears about his sexuality for so long. And he just can't contain himself any more, but it's still tentative, and a bit shy. I just know in my heart after that first shy kiss, they pulled back slightly, looked at each other in awe, like “what just happened?”, and then went in for a full-on highly passionate breathtaking momentous kiss... and who knows what else... (7) LETS GO HOME – well... of course! The moment we've all been waiting for. Syed chooses Christian. Chooses happiness. That just really sums it up, doesn't it? Some have said not enough “personal” things were said in Syed's “speech”. But the thing is, he said the things that needed to be said. That he loves Christian, he knew that, he was sure of that, Christian knew it too, 100% sure, no doubt in his mind. We knew it. No doubt. That he wanted to be with Christian, spend the rest of his life with him, we knew that too. The crux of the matter was Syed getting it straight in his head, that in fact he didn't have to make this excruciating choice between his love and his faith. Between who he is and who he wants to be. He could have both, if he believed in it, if he believed in himself. He came to terms with it. He worked it out. Realization! “I'm gay and I'm Muslim.Why do I have to choose?”. His eyes, his expression when he says to Christian “you don't have to (understand)” ... it's just beautiful, because he knows. He understands. The relief in that moment is just... breath-taking. As is the moment Syed touches Christian, and the relief you see just oozing out of Christian. He closes his eyes, it's lump-in-throat for him – and for me! Arrgh! Syed watches his parents, it hurts, but he doesn't waver. He's chosen! “Let's go home” says Christian, and off he goes. Syed smiles at him faintly, and follows him without hesitation. He's chosen Christian. Home is where the heart is... it's cheesy, but it's true. And his heart is with Christian. Christian is sure Syed will follow. He saw it in his eyes, heard it in his voice. He is certain. Then Syed touches Christian... and Christian just puts his arm around him (and the camera is wàààààày to far away from them!), and I'm dancing around the living room like a lunatic! (8) LOVE YOU FOR IT – The hardest choice. The one I am not definite about. I'll probably change my mind as I write this. I really wanted to nominate that whole episode... or rather whole Domestic Chryed week.... It's hard to choose which scene I love best in that. The bit on the bed, Christian saying ILY ... twice!! That little suprised look on Syed's face. He can still hardly believe his luck! And Christian teasing him... Syed still reeling, trying to get his head round it all... he's in a loving warm relationship with this gorgeous guy, and people aren't even batting an eyelash! It's “normal”! Wow! Eye-opener there! Christian watching Syed reading... Syed realizing – again – what it feels like to be in this loving relationship... and cue “big smile” Then the bit on the couch, the serious talk, Christian wanting to understand “it's important to you, which makes it important to me” Guh! Syed's eyes in that scene are so..... guh!! Then finally Syed's anger at Christian's rash act of going to the mosque, so quickly disolving into nothingness when he realizes that Christian just simply did it.... for him. For him. And he loves him for it. So in the end I have to choose that last bit. That scene of Syed loving Christian for doing something really stupid... for him. And for the sweet loving kiss too, of course! Clothes Syed.... ooh, hard one. Ended up with the white shirt he wears while talking to Mas on the swings. I love that scene. The scene, the talk ... the shirt, the eyes, the hair. Loving all of it. And his favourite jeans of course... Christian... worse... Not a vest girl, me. But love the black t-shirt and jeans many others have mentioned. Not very original there... sorry! Music After much soulsearching... I just had to go with “The Nearness of You”. Because of that ILY and the eyes in that scene. Of course. It's always the eyes... ![]() |

I've tried, but failed miserably.
