ao3! [podfic] These City Walls by TessaBennet alternate: archive.org media player time commitment: about 2.5 hr currently [3 of 30 ch recorded] fic details:

These City Walls (88296 words) by TessaBennet. @tessabennet Chapters: 30/30

Additional Tags: Pre-Captain America: The First Avenger, Mutual Pining, Brooklyn, Childhood Friends, Falling In Love, Slow Burn, in fact, “the literal slowest burn of stucky as they go through their entire lives as pining idiots in love”, or so I'm told, Idiots in Love, Bisexual Bucky Barnes, Bisexual Steve Rogers, the barnes family, which I had a whole lot of fun with ngl, chapter specific warnings where necessary, the boys had a life and a family before the war, the sweetest part is the torture before they get together, and this fic is the literary embodiment of the grinning devil emoji

Summary: Before there was Captain America, before there was even a war, there were two idiots in Brooklyn, just getting by every day, living a life, trying very hard not to let it show that they had, as a matter of fact, fallen in love with each other.

Fic: General Wei and the Crown Prince

The Untamed / Wangxian / 9,000 words

Palace intrigue AU with a little harem drama for fun

When the long, grueling years of the Sunshot Campaign come to an end, it is all that Lan Wangji has wanted since he was a child: a just peace, for all of his people. But there is a part of him, unworthily, that regrets the end of the war; a selfish part, that thinks, I will no longer have cause to see General Wei: the field commander of the Jiang forces. Lan Wangji must return to the imperial court, and there are few places for a commoner there, even a war hero. But there is one niche at court where a commoner without examination credentials can fit. And when the Jiang offer General Wei—just Wei Wuxian, now—as an imperial concubine for the crown prince, Lan Wangji dares to hope that the attraction he felt on the battlefield was not only one-sided.

okay & thanks for replying so quickly!

here is a link to one of my podnonfic projects https://www.tumblr.com/xiaokuer-schmetterling/773549635179626496/podfic-teaser-recording-in-progress

hi!

context: so i'm a newly started podficcer. and i've been experimenting with different kinds of mdzs stories to record. not only fics, but also linguistic metas and mdzs thoughts posts etc. and i really enjoy your posts. with your humor and sharp analysis

request: i was wondering if you'd be okay with me making podfic of some of your restless rewatch posts?

I'm sorry, but I do not allow reposting/reuse of my writing, whether in text or spoken form. I will be happy to signal boost your next podfic (or podnonfic!), though, if you send me a link.

ao3! [podfic] What Happens On Nereid.... by Mawiiish alternate: archive.org media player time commitment: currently about 1hr 20mins

fic details:

What Happens On Nereid.... (32631 words) by Mawiiish. @superbattrash

Additional Tags: superbat - Freeform, Not Canon Compliant, Continuity What Continuity, Autistic Bruce Wayne, Kidnapped by Aliens, Only One Bed, Sharing a Bed, Pining, sex pollen - with a twist, it doesn't actually make them have sex, Idiots in Love, Accidental Cuddling, accidental arousal, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Temporarily Depowered Clark, Rating May Change, Bickering, First Kiss, fake sex to convince aliens they're together, Truth Serum, Making Out, Ticklish Bruce Wayne, Dialogue Heavy, Not Beta Read, a dash of angst, Nightmares

Summary: Bruce and Clark are kidnapped by aliens and taken to Nereid - their home planet. In order to save Bruce from becoming the aliens' concubine, Clark tells them that he's already spoken for. This leads to an elaborate act to make sure they'll survive long enough to escape. All they have to do is convince the aliens they're in love for a few days, how hard can it be?

---

Bruce doesn’t even know where to begin. He’s still trying to figure out how they got into this mess in the first place. It shouldn’t have happened this way, he had a plan. They were following his plan, at least to some extent. There’s always some hiccups but nothing major. They were doing good. There is absolutely no reason it should’ve gone this wrong.

Oh wait, that’s right, it is completely and irrevocably Clark Kent’s fault.

=====

so i think this is the batman version that the aliens see....and that's why they're hot for him 👀✨🔥🤔🤣 i mean look at those slutty hips
