Media type: TV show pilot (never got picked up. AO3 appears to consider it a TV movie)
Approximate length: 30-45 minutes
Content Warnings TV-PG level violence, the most graphic of which is directed at Rex
In the faraway futuristic year 2005, humans are only now getting back to living in the deserts following massive drought. The land is plagued by water bandits and worse, and the only people who can protect the innocent are the US marshals. This includes Garson McBeth and his cyborg partner, RX-107 (McBeth just calls him Rex). On the surface this single episode/pilot/TV movie is about the two marshals escorting two mail-order brides to their new husbands, but there are a lot of interesting things implied by some of the worldbuilding, not the least of which is the relationship between McBeth and Rex.
The music video tells a M/M romance with rich angst, hurt/comfort and future fix-it potential. A stringed instrument player is captured as a spoil of war and brought to the enemy court. Gradually, he falls in love with a kind palace guard. However, the enemy liege lord releases him to his homeland, so they are separated at the end.
