VoiceTeam Submissions by Kiwiana: Round Two

I recorded less podfic for @voiceteam round two than one would generally expect, but that's because I threw myself into the mod dare with gusto. The mod dares each round aren't worth points (though submissions you make to meet the mod dare get all their USUAL points), but they are a fun challenge and a real blast to pull together with your team. This round's dare was: I dare [each team] to complete all ten Round 2 challenges using a fandom that has 20 or fewer fics total on AO3.

And I looked from the dare, to my ARC of The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, to the dare, to my ARC... and, well, I'm no mathematician, but zero is in fact less than 20.

What this did mean is I mostly took point on writing this round, as I threw together a couple of little ficlets for my teammates to then record. Though I did manage to actually pod something as well!

THE PAIRING

[Podfic] No Ordinary Friend, written by @cha-melodius, read by @kiwiana-writes with cover art by @thesleepyskipper: 22 min 25 sec

It started when they were two idiot fifteen-year-old boys talking about sex like it was something other than a foreign concept for either of them, vowing that if they had a threesome they’d do it together and not really acknowledging what that might mean. It started when they were thirteen, when Calum pulled him out of the surf and, in his delirium from the blood loss, his best mate had looked like an angel with the sun behind his golden hair. It started when they were ten and got in a scrap over the right to be called Calum in their class instead of some other nickname, then promptly decided that actually they’d both be Calum and let everyone else sort it out. (Or, the Calums' story, from Monaco to Palermo)

Steep my senses in forgetfulness, written by @kiwiana-writes, read by @amanita-fierce with cover art by @b13-maybethistime: 400 words, 3 min 14 sec

Theo can hear the way the ocean rolls up to the shore, lapping up over the beach before falling back, summoned into the chill of the Atlantic.

CROSSOVER: RWRB/THE PAIRING

A Prince in the Pâtisserie, written by @kiwiana-writes, read by @amanita-fierce with cover art by @b13-maybethistime: 568 words, 3 min 48 sec

“Um,” is all Theo manages, and it’s only then that Kit actually looks up to register who is standing in front of them. And, yeah. He totally gets why Theo was shocked into silence, now. “Parlez-vous anglais?” Alex Claremont-Diaz asks, his smile somehow even more blinding in person than it is on TV—and, yeah, maybe Kit only really started paying attention to US politics when Ellen Claremont was elected. Sue him. “I really hope so, cause I’m pretty sure Henry’s getting sick of translating for me.”

The third and final round starts this weekend; maybe I'll actually go back to doing more podficcing for this one 😉

Permission statements are your best friend as an author, if you want people to podfic or otherwise transform your fics! If you've never created a permissions statement and you love a good template, there's a good one from @fanworkspermissionstatement here that can help: https://www.tumblr.com/fanworkspermissionstatement/721421909534851073/reblogging-for-an-update-now-with-new-faq-and

HP Rec Fest: Day 3

@hprecfest prompt: a podfic

Podfics, my beloved. I tried to narrow it down to one, but alas. So I went with:

two old Drarry favourites that I imprinted on years ago and still return to time and again;

a Drarry podfic by an all-time favourite podficcer across several fandoms, written by the narrator;

and a new favourite rare pair podfic, and an incredible debut recording at that.

Tissue of Silver read by Fayjay & written by Fearlessdiva (Drarry, Explicit, 8h)

A love story concerning possessed furniture, black silk pyjamas, courtroom drama, premonitions of doom, assassination attempts, Death Eater yoga, absinthe, bare feet and a sensible werewolf. Beware: coarse language, brief drug use, some sexual content, and consideration of issues of sexual consent.

After failing in his task of killing Dumbledore, life doesn’t go as Draco expected. Sometimes just surviving takes everything you’ve got. And sometimes healing is something you can’t do alone. Story goes AU/AR from the end of Half-Blood Prince.

A Fruit Tree in Winter by Bryoneybrynn read by Takola & written by Bryoneybrynn (Drarry, Mature, 3-3,5h

Podfic: Like Diamonds We Are Cut With Our Own Dust written & read by @raitala (Drarry, Teen, 1h)

Draco has borne the mark of the Dark Lord for over ten years. It is familiar to him, but he pays the price for it every day, and Harry has noticed.

For Sale by Owner: Rose Weasley-Granger's Virginity by @schmem14 & written by @vukovich (Draco/Rose, minor Rose/Scorpius, background Scorbus, Explicit, 3-3,5h)

Problem: I'm a twenty-four year-old academic prodigy, but I'd trade my diplomas for a good, hard fuck. Since that's not a real thing I can do, I guess I'll pack up my dildo collection and go to the States for this doctoral program. If I can raise the money for tuition. Solution: Virginity: the original NFT. Non-Fuckable Token. Assuming someone will pay for it. Spoiler: Someone does. Handsomely. And repeatedly. And then I stole his cat.

Slash Podfic Recs

The world needs more podfics! And lucky for you, if you were on the hunt for some, I've found a few you might enjoy!

Narration is an artform all its own (and audio editing?? I don't even wanna think about that, not gonna lie.) Curl up in bed and close your eyes and let someone tell you a story. Or hit that "play" button and have someone keep you company, and entertained, while performing house chores! Listen to a story while on your morning commute.

A variety of ships for you, a variety of lengths. All excellent stories! All I ask is that you please leave some love for these creators if you stop by; podfics get so little traction compared to the written word. And even if all you can manage is a kudo, I'm sure it would be so very appreciated!

Danse Macabre

written by doshu, narrated by Aspen_Gray. Harry/Tom. Rated M. 2 hours, 45 minutes. Angst. Non-linear narrative. Sad ending.

A last dance. A cold comfort against the inevitability of death.

Harry’s danse macabre began with Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets. It only took him six years to notice.

Theft of Assets, Destruction of Property

written by Helenish, narrated by EosRose. Draco/Neville. Rated E. 3 hours.

Surely it is a mistake to allow a single youthful indiscretion to cloud an already promising career.

An Ode to the Loose and Wrinkly

written by RoozetteR, narrated by fire_juggler. Charlie/Severus. Rated E. 13 minutes.

Before Harry is brought to Grimmauld Place the summer before fifth year, Charlie sneaks away to the Burrow and blows Severus. That is all.

Of Comets and Counter-curses

written by Woldy, narrated by fire_juggler. Remus/Sirius. Rated T. 44 minutes. Traveling. Motorbike.

If the past is a foreign country, can travel help to resolve a troubled history? Dumbledore assigns Remus and Sirius a mission to explore three European cities, or perhaps to find each other. Written for the 2008 RS Games as part of Team Post-Hogwarts using the prompt 'Brothers on a Hotel Bed (Death Cab for Cutie)'.

Sympathy for the Devil

written by Writcraft, narrated by fire_juggler. Harry/Scorpius. Rated M. 40 minutes.

Scorpius has wanted Harry for years. So far, Harry has managed to resist. This Halloween Scorpius hopes to change his mind.

Never Unseen

written by HogwartsToAlexandria, narrated by JocundaSykes. Kingsley/Severus. Rated T. 12 minutes.

Saying he'd hoped the day Severus let him help would come would be overstating the facts, but Kingsley certainly was glad he'd been around the night the other man needed his help more than he needed his pride.

The Once and Future Headmaster

written by allthingsmagical, narrated by JocundaSykes. Albus/Harry. Rated T. 2 hours.

Never has there been a more hopeless crush.

Colourblind

written by Someone_aka_me, narrated by Lady Ravenclaw. Charlie/Draco. Rated T. 14 minutes.

"She says the colours will come when he is finally touching the person he is destined to fall in love with. She says that everything will change in the matter of a single moment." He is fourteen when the world goes sideways.

Slithering

written by astolat, narrated by Lazulus. Draco/Harry. Rated E. 2 hours, 30 minutes. Courtship. Snakes.

Draco found the nest down in the Manor’s cellars, while he was clearing them out.

Paranoia and Puns

written by You_Light_the_Sky, narrated by RuneLore. Cedric/Harry. Rated T. 1 hour, 20 minutes.

Harry makes three rules in order to survive his fourth year: 1) Watch the new DADA professor like a hawk, 2) Suspect all animals of being animagi, and 3) Avoid Cedric Diggory at all costs.

It's a shame Diggory didn't get the memo.

The Secret Language of Plants

written by Endrina, narrated by sephonered. Series. Remus/Severus; Draco/Harry. Rated E. Part 1: 3+ hours; Part 2: 7+ hours; Part 3: WIP.

“Just… tell me. Tell me what is going on, Snape.” What was going on was that Severus Snape had no trouble tracking down one Petunia Evans, now Dursley, to a little town in Surrey where he saw how exactly she was treating her nephew. Which somehow led to last night and Severus knocking on Lupin’s door with a toddler half-asleep in his arms.

Divination

written by smilebackwards, narrated by sisi_rambles. James/Regulus; James/Lily. Rated T. 8 minutes. Second POV. Sad ending.

Mars is bright.

Only One Word

written by EntreNous, narrated by smirkingcat. Draco/Remus. Rated E. 1 hour. Daddy kink.

Remus worries far too much what Draco thinks of the differences between them, until he discovers what Draco truly thinks.

Shall we descend once more, my Hades

written by megyal, narrated by smirkingcat. Draco/Severus. Rated E. 1 hour, 30 minutes.

[From the request: Later schoolyears, possibly seventh year | In return for killing Voldemort, Draco is given to Snape, to become his concubine. (Prompt: The Myth of Persephone)

(Podfic) Succession of Halos by QuietPods (TheQuietWings)

Description: Complete (45min)

Summary:

When Remus gets talked into seeing his favourite author–Astronomy Professor S. Black–hold a stargazing lecture, he anticipates a stodgy old man in tweed. He does not expect the ripped jeans and Rolling-Stones t-shirt wearing, motor-bike riding Sirius Black with his wicked smile and passion for the stars. Remus is sure there’s no chance between them, but little does he know, Sirius has a passion for many things in life, one of which being Remus Lupin.

[ghaniblue]

In lieu of my 2022 favourites I give you a combined list of the recs that have slumbered in my drafts since mumble-mumble months. Mostly Drarry still, but this year I rediscovered the joy of rarepairs.

7x Drarry fics, 1x Drarry podfics, 4x non-Drarry fics

Fic - Drarry

on your heart by @maziktheli (Drarry, T, 10k)

Harry runs a successful Palestinian restaurant. Draco works at a small cultural magazine as a junior photographer. When Draco receives his dream assignment, their paths cross for the first time in a decade.

Service Bell by @shiftylinguini (Drarry, E, 9k)

Draco is: a werewolf, living in a cabin in the woods, minding his own business, and never going to buy plaid because he's not that much of a fucking cliche (yet). He's also counting down the days until he sees Harry again.

Whiskey tango foxtrot by @vukovich (Drarry, E, 59k)

“Potter,” Malfoy said with a slow smile. “You’re a trashy, new money slut.”

“Yeah? Maybe you like it.”

--

The worst thing about being the Golden Boy is the freebies. Free drinks. Easy sex. It’s all too easy.

The worst thing about being a Malfoy is the expectations. Marriage. Kids. It’s all so scripted.

Harry wants his arse kicked. Draco decides to grab life by the balls.

100 beats per minutes by @oknowkiss (Drarry, E, 14k)

When Draco left the Magical World behind at nineteen, he didn't expect the cusp of thirty would find him comfortable and secure, with a stable life and a successful career as a sex columnist. Stable, that is, until he meets the subject of his newest column -- a stranger calling himself James, who has dragged them both to Ibiza on a sex quest of epic proportions -- and everything Draco ever knew turns upside down all over again.

Desert Rose (Sex On The Beach Remix) by nerakrose (Drarry, T, 1,4k)

There are things about Draco that Harry doesn’t understand.

break my heart, set me free by @nv-md (Harry/Draco, Draco/Astoria, T, 4k)

Only Harry—impulsive, daring, and heartsick—can convince both Astoria and Draco to see the reality of their unhappy relationship. Can Astoria’s broken heart give her the courage to leave? Can Harry wait for Draco to admit his feelings for Harry are more than platonic? Can Draco forgive himself for hurting the two people he loves?

Preserving Lemons by @saintgarbanzo with art by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (Drarry, E, 17k)

There's probably some immutable magical law that if someone steals your wand to destroy the century's most murderous maniac you then bump into that someone in Italy.

Harry is cooking food he couldn't care less about; Draco is making art he couldn't care more about. A story about kebabs, miniskirts and the way preservation can transform a lemon.

Fic Non-Drarry

Rest Your Head Close to My Heart by pauraque (Harry/Hermione, M, 3,5k)

It's almost time to wean her last child, and Hermione is thinking about what she's losing. Meanwhile, Harry is thinking about what he never had.

Rogue Waves by @lqtraintracks (Ginsy, E, 6,5k)

A story of living with the trauma, fucking who you want, and maybe finding a little solace.

Duty by @thistlecatfics (Regulus/Sirius, M, 2k)

Regulus knew what a duty was.

The Travelling Cabinet series by @the-paper-monkey (Tom/Draco, M, 46k)

Tom Riddle is locking up at Borgin and Burkes for the night when a boy comes tumbling through the filing cabinet. He claims to have come from 1997.

Podfic

Ship of Theseus read by @sweatersinthesummer written by GallaPlacidia (Darry, Teen, 1:46h)

When Harry gets amnesia and forgets he and Draco were ever married, he refuses treatment to remember.

[rec-library]

(Sacred) In the Ordinary by idyll

The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time.

Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.

Note: This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles.

Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Pairing: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Rating: Explicit Words:  78,759 Podfic Rec:  [Podfic of] (Sacred) In the Ordinary by knight_tracer (approx. length: 7h26mins) Notes: Yes, I am reccing a Teen Wolf fanfic in the year 2022. It’s an extremely good Teen Wolf fanfic, and the podfic is by one of my fav readers. The pack (circa s1) are back in Beacon Hills as adults, and it’s basically about them settling down and establishing a place for themselves, while also dealing with some plot shenanigans. Derek accidentally became a highly sought-after artist which is hilarious but also manages to make perfect sense in universe. It’s got hyper-competent!Stiles as the pack’s second in command which I love, and the pack dynamics in general are really well done. It’s just a really good fic, and I need you to trust me on this because the next thing I’m going to say is going to make you question me. Stiles’ dad and Alison’s dad are married in this one. I know, believe me, I know. Inexplicable background ship aside though it is a genuinely very well-written fic and it’s one of my all-time favourites.
