"Adam? What are these?" Barbara pointed at two slips of card stock leaning up against the model of their home.

Adam turned and followed the direction of Barbara's finger. He adjusted his glasses as he stepped over to the model. Picking up one of the slips, he read out loud.

Adam Maitland

The Netherworld Express Cordially Invites You Aboard The Soul Train.

Please present this voucher at the will-call office at any time of your choosing.

The second slip had Barbara's name on it with the same message.

"The Soul Train? What is that? Do you remember reading about it in the handbook?" Adam asked.

"No. Do you think it's a trick? Maybe that Beetleman is trying to trick us? He can't be happy after what we did to him."

"Should we try to get ahold of Juno?"

"No need." A raspy voice startled the couple from behind them. The smell of cigarette smoke tickled their phantom noses.

Barbara turned around and exclaimed "Juno!"

"The vouchers are legitimate. You've been invited to The Great Beyond."

Barbara crinkled her nose in thought. "The Great Beyond? I thought this was the afterlife. You said we were stuck here for 125 years."

"Well, yes, typically, your spirit would be tied to the property for 125 years. However, you two lovebirds found a loophole."

Juno looked the couple up and down, disapproving of their naivete. With a sigh, she continued. "Both the living and the dead have a terrible time letting things go. Most people, upon learning they're dead, cling to the last bit of their mortal life. It could be a house, an heirloom, or a living person or animal. We can't break the bond until either property or living organism is destroyed or after 125 years has passed."

"But the house isn't destroyed," Adam quickly replied. "Though I question some of the choices in decor." Adam gestured downward to indicate everything below their feet.

Taking another drag of her cigarette, Juno clarified her earlier statement. "That's the loophole. You gave the house to the Deetzes. Your spirits have let go of your claim on the property. You're free to move beyond this mortal realm, past the nether realms, to the Great Beyond."

"Oh Adam. I don't know. Lydia would be heartbroken."

With her cigarette pointed at Barbara, Juno interjected again. "I know you love that kid. But my suggestion is that you leave sooner, rather than later. Otherwise, you'll be tied to her. She's still growing up. But she'll want her independence some day. And she'll resent you for not being able to move on. Leave now, while she has good memories of you."

Barbara felt tears prick the corners of her eyes. Juno made a great point. They couldn't be tied to Lydia forever. They also couldn't stay with the property. It was time to move along.

Barbara watched Adam straighten his back, his face growing serious but his eyes remained soft. "We'll wait till summer. When Lydia goes off to college, starting her adult life. That's when we'll take the train."

Barbara nodded in agreement. It would be difficult leaving Lydia but there was a brand new adventure ahead. She hadn't realized how stagnant life felt until this moment. Helping Lydia and the Deetzes was great but the thought of possibly seeing her grandparents again thrilled her. Adam would get to see his father again. "Okay. Yes. End of summer."

Juno clapped her hands together. "Sounds like we have a plan. When you're ready, hold the voucher in your hand while drawing the door. The will-call office will be straight ahead."

***

The end of summer arrived swiftly. A week before Lydia was to move into her apartment, Adam and Barbara sat down with her to explain that they wouldn't be here when she visited at Thanksgiving. Lydia cried herself to sleep that night while Barbara watched over her.

Stroking her hair, Barbara whispered, "You have everything you need, Lydia. You're the strongest and smartest woman I know. Your parents love you and support you, even if they struggle to communicate it well. I know that you'll never be alone. I feel it down in the very bottom of my soul that you'll never be alone. And we will never forget you. When you're old and gray, you come find us then. And not a moment sooner. Okay?"

Lydia whimpered in her sleep but managed to nod in agreement.

***

The night before Lydia was to move out, they had one last dance party. Even Charles and Delia danced with them. Adam and Barbara pulled out all the tricks they had learned over the last couple of years to make it a night to remember. Everyone went to bed laughing.

The next morning, Adam and Barbara watched the car pull away from the house, taking Lydia to her new life. They toured the house one last time, sharing different memories (and dreams) they had of the home. Eventually, they found themselves in the attic. Adam brushed some dust off the model, righted a tree, placed a miniature car just so.

Satisfied with his work, Adam grabbed the vouchers and handed one to Barbara. Lastly, he grabbed the chalk and drew a door...

Adventures of Chika Hanabusa: The Restoration of Earth

Disclaimer: This book follows the events of Percy Jackson and Heros of Olympus fanfic, this fanfic will not include Trails of Apollo, The Kane Chronicles, and Magnus Chase.

Chapter 19: Past Friendships

Chika PoV

I finally asked Reyna to hang out with me and she said yes. Reyna grabbed some napkins from the counter and tried to wipe off the hay stains.

“I probably should have just worn pants to do the farm work, no matter I have a lot of clothes and the day is over. Anyway, I was wondering if you have any competition or game today?” Reyna asked with her dark eyes showing concern, worried that I might forget something.

"Well, I have a game against Ridgefield High, Oakwood's rival school. My old friend Isabelle Belmont is their cheer captain." Reyna looks surprised and she looks down on her hands while her hair moves to the right side of her face.

“What do you mean old friend? Did she backstab you or bully you now?” Reyna says with a stern look and looks prepared to slice off Isabelle’s head.

"No, it's not like that, it's just she becomes distant. Every time I try to talk to her, her face is all red, and just runs from me. Honestly, I worried if I hurt her somehow, she's always been a sensitive girl. Like she does put on an icy mask to protect herself from other bullies and mean girls, but she is the type to let their words get to her and she just cries to herself or privately just rages, but after she says an equally poisonous remark to the jerks or just beats them up. Her mother is very overprotective of her and moves her to a different school, and Isabelle doesn’t want to rebel against her mother. Isabelle just has a hard time opening up to others and keeping things to herself. I just hope she doesn't hate my guts; I want to make things right with her before I become a full-time demigod.” I catch my breath and Reyna looks on to me with a stoic face with no movement of mouth or eyes that express an emotion. It’s funny because Isabelle is also known to be stoic as well, I guess my weakness is stoic queens.

“Then you should talk to her, have some closure with what you want your relationship with her to be. I wish I could go back in time and try to find closure in my relationship with Jason." Reyna lays her back on the couch seat as her posture becomes more relaxed.

“Who is Jason if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Jason was my fellow Praetor and a son of Jupiter. He was a remarkable warrior, and he led our camp to victory against the titan Krios, and we destroyed the titan king's throne. But it wasn't his power that I admired, it was his gentle soul. Jason always hated war and never liked the idea of killing. Sure, he was the strongest, but he never wanted that burden. He feels pressured to be the perfect son of Jupiter, he wants to help every demigod possible. Every demigod that he had to fight, he tried to talk them out, but they never listened to his word. So, he has no choice but to kill them to protect New Rome. I wasn’t so gentle compared to him; I killed numerous faces without any hesitation or remorse for they threatened my home. After every battle in the Titan War, he always goes to Jupiter Shrine, questioning his father if the lives of every demigod he kills bring peace. I did grow to have a crush on him, but he only sees me as a friend. I should have told him how I feel, but then Juno switched him to Camp Half-Blood and then he has to fight the Earth Mother along with the seven." Reyna tries to remain composed but her eyes show a different story. It's like her eyes hide a deep sadness and remorse for all she did at the war. Killing other demigods must be so brutal and never having closure with someone you admire is just double horrible. How can the gods make Reyna suffer so much? It’s just not right.

"It is messed up that the gods made you and other Roman kids kill in their name. You guys deserve a mansion or at least free college for all that you, Jason, and others sacrifice. If it makes you feel any better, I do think that Jason misses your company too. You know what? Maybe at the end of the year, let’s be friends with our resident perfectionist softies again.”

Reyna just laughs in amusement with tears coming out of her eyes, "Now that could be interesting, I'm willing to take the wager. You made up with Isabelle and I will make up with Jason. What do we get to lose."

“Oh, shoot I got to get ready for the game. Wanna come with me?” I asked.

“I don’t want to get in the way of rebuilding your relationship with Isabelle, but I will stay awake if you need my assistance in case there is a monster attack, so please Iris message me or contact me in any way if you have to deal with this scenario. I believe it’s only a 30-minute walk from the house.”

“Ok thanks, I will need to get ready quickly.” I quickly stormed into my room, and I changed into my cheer uniform for the game with the white and green shell with the name Oakwood High printed on it and the white pleated skirt with green highlights. I found my celestial bronze scythe and I made sure it would be in pencil form. I found a stuffed animal that is a peacock and when you open its arm, the feather wing is full of rainbow colors. I grabbed it because Isabelle told me that she loved peacocks when we were kids, hopefully, she liked it.

“You got everything Chika. I will pick you up once your game is over." Reyna gives me my backpack which is full of floral designs.

"Thanks, Reyna and yeah I would let you know." I ran out the door quickly and I put my scythe and the peacock stuffed animal in my bag.

After 30 minutes of running, I felt sweat coming out of my forehead and I got in the locker room. The good news was that I was on time, and hey at least I got a workout from running. But I’m not the only one in the locker room, Isabelle Belmont is sitting on the locker room bench with her black and purple cheer uniform on and her long dark hair tied up in a high ponytail with a purple bow. Isabelle has this adorable big brown eye like a cow, and she is around 5’10. That cheer uniform shows off her long legs and even her huge bust. Isabelle Belmont is one the most gorgeous women I met; she could have been easily mistaken for a goddess.

“Hey Isabelle, long time no see. I was wondering if we can catch up after the games.” Isabelle looked shocked to see me. Her face has become red again, oh no. Is she going to run away from this time?

"Maybe but only if your football can beat mine. In the meantime, catch your letter." Isabelle waves her hand off me and just walks away from me. How can she be so cold about seeing me, I need to talk to her. I rather she say some mean taunts to me, but she just pretends that I don’t exist. I ran up to her and I caught her arm.

“Wait before you go, I want to know why you have been cold to me and ignoring me. Did I do something to you?” I asked with my voice dropping and tears coming out of my eyes.

“You didn’t do anything to me, just please stop being so dramatic." Isabelle pulls my hand off her arm and just continues walking away from me.

"Are you such a coward that you won't confront me about how you feel? You have been avoiding me throughout high school and I need to know why. Did our childhood memories when we were kids and when we were struggling through middle school? We could have still been friends even if we had gone to high school. I would have preferred that you tell me I'm a horrible friend or your snarky remarks instead of just flat-out abandoning me. I just want to make things between us." I wipe tears in front of my eyes as she continues to walk away. She's not going to say anything, anything at all. I don't understand how she becomes guarded with me at this moment, I miss her smiles, her laughs, how she always protects me from jerks, and how she always hugs and listens as I rant about animals and plants for an hour. I remember Isabelle saying that she wanted to marry me someday when we were 8 years old. Maybe somebody hurt her or her emotions are too much to handle she took on the ice queen persona to cope with all of this. Isabelle stopped walking and turned to face me with tears coming out of her eyes and snouts coming out of her nose. She looks so undignified and tears stricken, It's like she has almost fallen to pieces.

"Do you want to know why I become distanced from you? It's because you never needed me in your life. You have everything going nicely for you, you have friends that you can count on, a second parent who is alive, and you are just so pure and nice. Me, I'm just a lonely mess who nobody wants in their life, my mother spent more time trying to prevent her asshole husband is satisfied and unaware of my existence, people in my cheer squad never invite me to parties and even talk behind my back. I never hated you Chika at all, I’m protecting you from myself.”

"What do you mean protecting me from yourself, no offense but that doesn't make sense. I still want you in life, you inspire me to become stronger so that I can walk with you equally. When you punched some mean girls in the face while I was just some quiet kid, and even offered cupcakes. That was the best day of my life, knowing that I just met an incredible person. I remember when we named all of the farm animals in my father's barn when we were just kids, I want to go to the old days and I know that you feel the same. You are just afraid to say it, you always think so lowly of yourself to the point that you robbed yourself of having meaningful relationships. I just want closure for both our sakes because I truly did miss you, Isabelle. But you know what, I hope my team defeats your team so that we can talk about our feelings. I have something I need to tell you as well; I have some secrets of my own and I only trust you to bear them. If there is a chance that our friendship to continue, then we need to share our secrets."

"Fine, I guess, I hope your football team is good. I'm sorry I made you feel bad, I do miss you as well, you have such a beautiful voice. Too bad you must waste it on pervy jocks." I flat-out laugh at what she says, wait does she think I'm straight? Man I miss when she roasts other people

“At least you don’t hate my guts and fyi I find cheerleaders hotter than the jocks.” I shot a playful wink and Isabelle just blushed and ran away faster.

"On second thought, I hope my team crushes your team. You insufferable tease." Her voice echoes, ok I know that she doesn't mean that.

I walked into the stadium and all the other cheerleaders were waiting for me. Coach Sandra was sitting on the beach in her green and white tracksuit. She's an athletic blond, white woman in her early thirties, she's pretty attractive for her age.

"Ok, girls do your very best and I want you to have fun most of all because in the coming weeks, there will be nationals for cheer and we will take first place because I am blessed to have the most capable girls in this squad." Coach Sandra yells while we all cheer for approval.

Admittedly I didn't pay much into the game and only on the scorecards. I was busy getting lifted into the air by a squad mate and I did a toe jump in midair. I just danced with the music and shook my pompoms with my squad and I saw Isabelle lifting a small girl in the air and caught her as a base.

"Oakwood High!!! We Will Win!!! Oakwood High!! We Will Win" I cheered and I saw Isabelle do an amazing cartwheel and end with a split.

"Ridgefield High!!!KICK OAKWOOD BUTT!!Ridgefield high!! STOMP ON OAKWOOD DEFEATED BODIES" Isabelle shouted with fire in her eyes. Everybody looked terrified with Isabelle's cheer, while adults chuckled and shouted Aww in the crowd.

After an hour gone though ad the runner back with white and green colors signifies my high school caught the ball while the quarterback got tackled and scored the last touchdown. We all cheered with happiness while Isabelle blushed madly. My cheer team went back to the lockers and I followed them. Aisha hugged me in the front and everyone looked pleased.

“Wanna join us for the celebration Chika?” Aisha asks while I shake my head in a no direction.

"I made a promise to a friend that I would spend time with her." All the other girls changed and left while I waited for Isabelle. Isabelle came to the locker room still in her cheer uniform and sat next to me on the bench.

"So what is it you want to tell me Chika." Isabelle stares at me and I just lay on the bench, but Isabelle moves my head in her lap like she refuses to let the bench have my head. I'm not complaining, Isabelle's thighs are much better than the cold, hard bench.

“This will be hard to explain but do you know about the Greek Myths, well I’ve been living them for a while.” Isabelle cast a knowing look and nodded in sympathy.

“I’ve been leaving them as well Chika, that is the reason why I put distance between us. I’m a demigod as well but I swear on the river Styx to not reveal my parentage. All I can say is that I'm not supposed to exist." Isabelle hugged me close to her chest and it felt nice again, to be embraced by her.

"Do you forgive me Chika?" She kissed my forehead and cheek and hugged me close.

"Of course I forgive you, Isabelle, you are so dear to me and I'm just glad that we could move forward. Btw I got a gift for you." I open my bag and I hand her the peacock stuffed animal.

"I hope that you like it, I wanted to give this to you." Isabelle hold the stuffed animal to her chest and she softly stroke my hair.

“I love it, I will cherish this forever.” Isabelle hugged me and the stuffed animal together.

“By the way, you haven’t told me your godly parent yet. Who is it?” Isabelle says in a curious expression.

“I could tell you, but you will have beat me in a sparing match," I said with a mischievous smirk and Isabelle did the same smirk I did. We both got off the bench, and we were in fighting positions. I did the karate stance while Isabelle just put her hands in a boxing position.

"You know hopefully these cheers uniform allow for more movement because I will whoop your butt, lovingly of course." We both did a high kick toward each other at the same time, our legs connected, and the rest is history. Hopefully Reyna is not worried about me.

Downtownies # 12 - Juno

It was still Monday of Juno's first week in the Bro Hole he shares with Donte Shaw. They both rolled odds. They be old now.

Donte didn't let having a head of white hair stop him from romancing Amanda Carlson every time she walked along. He asked her to move in so he could concentrate on their budding romance. Then he maxed Charisma and got himself a promotion and fulfilled his LTW the next day. After he came home, he invited Amanda to come relax on the bed with him.

While Donte was at work that day, Juno had the day off and thought he'd give a call to some of his college sweethearts and invite them over. He asked the two that did come over to move in. The girls needed jobs so Juno went to repair the computer . . .

. . . and all his mechanical skill points did him no good. Neither did trying to extinguish the fire that just spread and spread. Then Donte and Amanda heard the noise and left the safety of their bed.

Sunday Family Portrait. That's it. Juno didn't even last a whole week after getting out of college.

Amanda is onto new adventures in life already. She could've mourned her household for a day, at least. Chico Ramirez is her new live-in. She's gone home-wrecker now.

Random astrology post🦩

What you might enjoy the most talking about?

I do not allow to copy or plagiarize my work @venusfun

The whole chart matters.

Mercury in the...

1st house -

I believe these individuals would like to talk about identity. Since this house rules over self. They probably like to talk about outer appearance and would give the best advice! This is a personality house, maybe these individuals would enjoy talking about MBTI or other personality types.

2nd house -

Money, lmao. Where to spend it? How do spend it? Anything related to finances, shopping. Also talking about cooking or food, any kind of perfumes, smells. Maybe singers too? Little side note: if you ever feel like your self-esteem is very low, go to the person who has Mercury in the 2nd house :))

3rd house -

Earlier school experiences, about siblings, cousins, etc. Like they can talk about almost anything...? Let's not forget about cars and other fun experiences that have happened in the way of some things. Languages... I'm sure they have one language that they very much adore. Books. Gossip.

4th house -

Home & parents. How was the home living environment, etc. A big topic could be - privacy. These individuals will tell those things only if you are a very close person. I feel like they would enjoy some secrets too lol. Hmmm... Maybe history topics. Past experiences. Random questions like how is your family doing?

5th house -

Woooow, they would probably love talking about hobbies and special talents. Creative things and how stupid are “5 min crafts”. Maybe they would be interested in talking about celebrities. Talks about theatres, drama, movies, series. Also, the future child looks or personality. Definitely having the best conversations at museums, festivals or concerts.

6th house -

These people usually like to talk about daily life. They would love to tell somebody about their routines, self-care, and even favorite animals. Just sitting in a cafe, drinking hot tea and talking about the new bitchy co-worker. Any kind of health topics. Doctors and small fears.

7th house -

Romance, sure why not. But I have noticed that they would love to talk about business plans. What business they would want to start. Of course, weddings and divorces. Fashion, trends. About a partner, they would have at school projects. Enemies if you have lol. Law, rules.

8th house -

Secrets and secrets. They would be more open to taboo topics. It's truly interesting to have a conversation with them. Deep talks about tarot, death, afterlife, astrology...mmm. They aren't afraid of very dark topics, those bring adrenaline to them. Also, midnight talks.

9th house -

Travel and adventures. Very fun experiences that have happened. Conversations about astrology, philosophy, and beliefs. Anything about college life or higher educations. Also, they give great advice about those things. Probably have planned their dream travel destination and detailed activities what would they do there.

10th house -

Conversations about career choices, achievements, and goals. They would maybe like to talk about “fame” life - Where they could be famous, how would they be famous. These people give the best advice about any kind of job interview. Talking about business or boss. They probably would like to try out a job as a CEO and would definitely share about this idea.

11th house -

Talking topics would probably involve their friends. Cool, funny stories about them. Sympathy. Charity. They would be the type to tell everybody what they wished in the birthday. Conversations about some very new technologies. Usually, horoscopes too. They need freedom in communications, so they can talk about literally everything.

12th house -

Since this placement is very deep, these individuals would enjoy talking about unconscious. Any topics that include psychology, astrology, and maybe even witchcraft. But tho they will rarely tell you about what would they be interested in. Dreams and sleeping habits. Hospitals and doctors. Spilling hidden fantasies at the night and regretting the next morning lmao.

------------------------------

Pluto-Mercury aspects [add taboo topics]

Neptune-Mercury aspects [add unconscious topics]

Uranus-Mercury aspects [add modern topics]

Saturn-Mercury aspects [add serious topics]

Jupiter-Mercury aspects [add philosophy topics]

Mars-Mercury aspects [add passion topics]

Fiction Podcast Recommendations

Because this is the only media I consume anymore. Let’s get the big ones out of the way first!

1. Welcome to Night Vale

The OG. This was the first podcast I really got into and I am very sentimental about it. It’s the funniest and most uplifting piece of horror media I’ve ever found, and I love it for that. And I’m obsessed with the weird worldbuilding, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. Also, gay main character, which I pretty much require at this point.

It can take a minute to get into if you really want some plot, but I promise some plot is coming.

2. The Magnus Archives

This is a great horror anthology that also ends up having a really interesting overarching plot. I’m warning you right off that bat that it is a tragedy, though, and we’re all anticipating being absolutely crushed when it ends. But! Canonically biromantic asexual main character, which we love.

Similar to Welcome to Night Vale, you’re going to have to be a little patient if you really wanna get to that plot, but it’ll get there.

3. The Adventure Zone

One of my absolute favorites. It’s a D&D podcast, but no D&D knowledge is required to enjoy it (I didn’t play D&D when I first started listening). It’s funny and endearing, and also has made me sob so hard that my family thought something was wrong with me. I still think about the ending of the Balance arc, because I’ve never found an ending in any other piece of media that is so emotional and satisfying.

And as far as representation goes, the first arc has a gay main character, second arc has a bi woman main character, and third arc has a main character who is technically asexual, although that hasn’t been confirmed in canon at this point. Also plenty of LGBTQ+ side characters, including a trans woman (Lup I have a crush on you <3) in the first arc and a nonbinary person in the second.

4. The Penumbra Podcast

Welcome to the queerest thing I have ever seen in my life. Just straight up no cishets around, it’s beautiful.

This one actually has two separate storylines. The Juno Steel one is about a private eye on Mars, and the Second Citadel is sort of an ensemble story in a fantasy setting, and I would highly recommend both of them. Like would you like to hear a noir inspired story set in space with a nonbinary bisexual detective protagonist and a homme fatale criminal love interest? You absolutely would. Or would you like to hear about a knight who is sworn to hunt monsters having an existential crisis because he’s having some feelings about a monster he just had a homoerotic sword fight with? Obviously you would. Listen to this podcast.

Anyway! Let’s get into some of the smaller podcasts!

5. Death by Dying

This one is so much fun. Love the weird vibes of this creepy little town. We’ve got an obituary writer who just doesn’t even seem to realize how bizarre all the deaths he’s writing about are, I’m obsessed with it. As soon as he started reading out the condolences and they were just in-universe ads I lost it, that’s so funny to me and I immediately knew I was going to love this podcast.

6. Kaleidotrope

Fanfiction gays, this one is for you. Here is a college that is said to be magic, where everyone will find their romantic trope and fall in love. The main characters are running a college radio show together, with one of them believing in this magic absolutely and the other being very skeptical. Will they fall in love? :)))))))

This one is so cheesy, and it’s very small so the audio is pretty scuffed, but it’s so sweet and I love it. Both of the main characters are queer and one of them is nonbinary.

7. Brimstone Valley Mall

I’m obsessed with this podcast! Nobody is talking about it and I’m obsessed with it! It’s demons working in a mall in the 90s, who also have a band together. Wtf I love that. One of the main characters is gay, and another one is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Please listen to this podcast, I want it to get more popular so badly.

8. The Strange Case of Starship Iris

This one is so sweet and I love it so much. Gay space criminals? That’s everything I love. It also just has so much heart, I want to cry. There’s a bisexual woman main character, another WLW main character, a trans man main character, and a nonbinary main character (who, yes, is an alien, but I will let it slide because there is also a nonbinary human side character).

9. Alice Isn’t Dead

The vibes are impeccable. I listened to a lot of this one while I was on a road trip by myself in rural America, and that is the ideal experience. This is about a woman trucking across America looking for her missing wife. It’s so quietly creepy, and I’ve got a thing for weird Americana. And there are lesbians too, so.

Also, the main character dealing with her anxiety was something that was actually really important to me. I really liked hearing about someone who didn’t “cure” her mental health problems, but grew and learned to manage them better. It was just a very important story to me, and I still think about her all the time.

10. CARAVAN

Every single person involved with making this needs to go to horny jail. I am so serious. You will hear an extended conversation about how, like all of these characters are monster fuckers, and also very audibly hear two characters have sex. So, you know, you’ve been warned.

But, all that aside, this one is about a man who accidentally ends up in this weird hell world, and has to try to figure out how to get back home. It’s really fun, but also gets pretty heavy towards the end. Definitely read the content warnings ahead of time.

This one’s also queer, obviously, with a bisexual man as the main character and some queer side characters (Including Virgil who I do have a crush on. The morally dubious enbies just get me.)

sea's fiction podcast recs!

If you're new to the fiction podcast genre or looking for a new show to try, here's a list I compiled over years of listening to audio dramas and similar podcasts :)

For those who don't know, fiction podcasts are scripted audio-only stories that play kind of like a TV show in your head. The podcast medium is a lot more accessible to otherwise marginalized creators, so you can generally expect more diversity in the stories being told than you'd see from Hollywood. I love podcasts because they are perfect to keep your mind occupied while doing more mundane tasks like chores, video games, or drawing.

The is organized from most to least recommended, and there are asterisks next to shows with heavy LGBTQ representation, though virtually every show on the list has at least one or two minor queer characters. All of the descriptions and genre tags are written by me, and I try to keep things as brief as possible so that you can look through them quickly and find a match! Everything is available to find on Spotify unless otherwise linked.

Top 5 audio fiction:

Wolf 359, Penumbra Podcast: Juno Steel, The Bright Sessions, Archive 81, The Magnus Archives

[ logan lerman. cis man. he/him. ] did you hear that felix henry is currently living in charming, california? they’re a twenty seven year old who have been in town for about four years, and are a paramedic. it’s known around town that they’re quite generous but can also be overbearing. people in charming always say they’re reminded of felix when thinking of streaks of salted hair tangled in a mess of dark locks, a possible god complex, memes long since forgotten, the stale smell of cigarettes, spearmint and hand sanitizer.

@charmingextras

name. felix jerome henry

current age. twenty seven years old

date of birth. april 30th

gender & pronouns. cis man; he/him

biography.

felix comes from a prominent family from wealthy southern california neighbourhood, business owners and wealthy investors, the henry’s always wanted their own children, and eventually opted for adoption. felix came to live with the henry’s when he was three years old, and grew up in the family home. from a young age, felix was always smart, and never had issue with speaking his mind and making those around him laugh. he was also a problem solver, anytime an issue came out, felix loved being the one to help out and save the day, and the praise it garnered him from parents, and other adult figures set him on a path to want to help people for the rest of his life.

while felix did grow up in a loving home, part of his has always felt resentful about just how happy a home he had, supportive parents and an understanding older brother left him feeling as though he never had to work and earn the things he had in life, and he grew to resent the life of luxury his parents led and had given to him and his brother. he determined at a young age to work harder than them and make his own way in life, without the help of anyone - though this was more in words than in action, as he lived off his parents wealth well into his college years and beyond.

in adulthood, felix is a paramedic while he works his way through medical school and while medicine is not something he’s passionate in, it’s a field that he is pursue based on his own merit and intelligence without nepotism or the wealth of his parents playing into how he got there, so he’s continuing towards that goal. felix is also a father, to a four year old daughter named, juno - who is not his biological daughter, but the daughter of a girl he met while she was pregnant. he did eventually marry juno’s mom, and legally adopted juno and while the marriage did not last, he is still a devoted and committed father - however unconventional his parenting style might be.
