#zutara podfic

[soopersara]

such selfish prayers written by @andromeda3116

Katara's ambition, so long set aside for the good of others, breaks free and sets fire to her soul. Or, Katara has a vision of her canon future, casts it aside, and becomes a world-changing politician instead.

Podfic on AO3

[amandayetagain]

Heard the line and had to make this- please listen to A Tale of Ice and Smoke, I need someone to share this with

[tuktukpodfics]

Do you have any zukka or zutara podfic recs? Preferably w/o explicit sexual content.

Posting this in hopes someone who has more experience in the atla fandom can answer.

I know Dr_Fumbles_McStupid (@dr-fumbles-mcstupid) and mellowzukodeer (@mellowzukodeer) have treasure troves of Zuko podfics!

Wish I could be of more help, I'm pretty new here and haven't really explored much.

[etl-echo-audiobooks]

Just to ask, but im not a huge Darry fan and I have noticed a lot of the Darry one shots being posted just under your Etl echo thing on Spotify is there a way to maybe split the fandoms?

Please do not make extra work for yourselves if not needed, I understand its probably easier to add them all under one section. It just drives me nuts when I seen fics I havent listened to on Spotify.

Hello there! To keep our work free for the team we have multiple accounts to host the podfics on spotify. The main account houses all the one-shots! This makes our lives easier. So the Dramione, drarry, reylo, zutara, and darklina one-shots live there.

The pairings should be in the title so they'll be easy to identify!

Since the majority of what we post is still dramione, we've put everything else into playlists for the folks looking for ease of searching.

You can find Dramione here!

All the Drarry can be found here!

All other pairings here!

Fanfiction Masterlist.

(Updated 10/9/24)

The following are my works over on AO3. It's mostly oneshots, mostly Royai (plus one Zutara), and the more I disassociate from reality the longer this list gets.

Bon appétit ❤️

The Art of Living On

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 3.9K

She has never done this. Has avoided it at all costs. Because she is unfit, she tells herself. Her hands are made for firearms and filing office paperwork, not soothing fussy babies. Her edges are too sharp, too jagged to provide comfort to anyone. She is scarred and bloodied and barely knows the love of a mother herself.

But the baby wails, pleading.

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 2: Appreciate

This story was adapted into a podfic (audiobook, but make it fanfiction) by @klainelynch. Listen here.

(domestic fluff, light angst with a happy ending)

Death and Taxes

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 5.4K

“You’re proposing we marry,” Hawkeye responds, slow and dangerous, “for tax purposes?”

Something prickles beneath Mustang's shirt collar. He resists the urge to tug at it, instilling his voice with an even coolness as he pretends to examine his cuticles. “A mutually beneficial arrangement, wouldn’t you agree?”

(marriage of convenience)

The Counteroffer

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.7K

On the eve of Mustang’s inauguration as Fuhrer, Riza Hawkeye submits her resignation.

My very first Royai fanfic, and my first attempt at creative writing in literal years.

(light angst with a happy ending)

Hourglass

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 1.6K

Riza Hawkeye never intended on living past age thirty-two. It wasn’t that she wanted to die. She simply did not expect to live.

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 5: Gift

(angst with a happy ending)

Uncle Zuko

Katara x Zuko

Rating: T

Word count: 2.6K

Of all the things his hands have held - from dragon eggs and ancient texts to the element of Fire itself - this is by far the most precious, the most powerful: a new generation, one born into a world without war.

Zuko is forced to hold Sokka's baby, and feelings happen. I published this story years ago on FFN under a different title. This is the updated/revised version. I haven't written much of them lately, but Zuko & Katara are, and will always remain, my otp.

(domestic fluff)

The Bookshelf - WIP

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.3K

“It has a ladder.” Falman remarks, impressed.

(Or: Fuhrer Mustang gifts Hawkeye a bookshelf, and the rest of the Team starts to figure things out.)

(fluff, humor)

Strong Whiskey and Slanted Light

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: G

Word count: 908

His team is alive. The Elric brothers have their bodies back. Havoc can walk again. And from her place in the driver’s seat, Riza Hawkeye - alive and breathing - glances sharply in his direction, brows raised in a rare moment of removing her attention from the road ahead. He doesn’t miss the way she winces at the sudden movement of her still-healing neck. “Sir?”

“It’s just a question, Lieutenant. I’m curious.”

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 1: Curiosity

(light angst, mutual pining)

Mrs. Mustang

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 999

“And how are you this evening, my dear?” he murmurs, the playful formality simmering between them. His bowtie has gone missing, Riza observes. As well as his tailored jacket, and the top few buttons of his collared shirt are undone. Suspenders hang loose around his hips, and the scent of his cologne - a blend of tobacco, leather, and vanilla - drifts to her, freshly applied despite the lateness of the hour.

“Very well,” she responds over the rim of her wine glass, wondering if the darkness is enough to conceal the heat creeping into her face. Likely not. “Only I wish you wouldn’t call me ‘my dear’.”

(fluff)

As You Were

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.4K

Maybe it’s the fact that she’s dropped his honorific.

Maybe it’s the fact that they are somehow both alive. Maybe it’s the fact that he can see her, when he’d believed with such certainty that he never would again. He can see her and she is beautiful, and for once he doesn’t understand why he ever chose to banish that thought from his mind when it is so clearly the truth.

(angst)

The Flame Alchemist's Daughter

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 6.4K

The ink is a burden. The knowledge is a curse.

Disclaimer: I wrote this before I fully understood the mechanics of Mustang's flame alchemy (I literally finished the series in March 2024; I'm new here, so my bad). I realized later that some of the implications here would not make sense in canon. That said, I still love this story. I'm proud of it and it's freaking fanfiction so who cares.

(angst)

Checkmate

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 1.6K

In the wake of his election victory, Roy Mustang makes a very important visit to Fuhrer President Grumman.

Prequel to "The Counteroffer."

(fluff, light angst)

Four

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.2K

Each time he has laid eyes on Riza Hawkeye’s tattoo, the course of Roy Mustang’s life has been permanently altered.

(angst with a happy ending)

[ecoterrorist-katara]

Hi, I noticed in your zutara fic ‘classics’ recommendation, you didn’t mention I’m Still Here by owedbetter. Have you read it? And what do you think of it? Thanks!

I’m Still Here is EXCELLENT!!! I read many of the AO3 classics (e.g. Sparrowkeet, such selfish prayers, I’m Still Here, all of which I really liked) relatively early on in my ZK fic journey, so they’re not as top of mind for me as the classics that I had heard were good, but only read very recently for whatever reason (like Southern Lights, Once Around The Sun, and Incendiary). Anyway my fic classics post was not meant to be comprehensive, I think I wrote it because OATS gave me a book hangover lol

I’m Still Here is very well written and super compelling, and additionally I find the fandom history around it very cool! hayleynwong (who created many incredible Zutara animatics) animated a key scene from I’m Still Here, and Dante Basco read a line for it. I believe owedbetter was on a livestream with some of the ATLA creatives where they watched this animatic. I also heard the podfic is great quality and well-produced.

Anyway, thank you anon for asking this question because I went to read I’m Still Here again and now I have a craving for chicken adobo & a renewed appreciation for the works that have come out of this fandom! No one is doing it like ZKs, and yes I’m biased

[yourhighness6]

since you asked for zutara fics:

A tale of ice and smoke by @soopersara really long one so it'll probably keep you busy for a while. This one's about Katara being the avatar and it's really interesting. There's also a podfic version on ao3

I'm still here by owedbetter (not sure if they're on tumblr or not) there's a podfic for this one too on spotify. This one has s3 zutara pining and it's super great

Incendiary by @roslynwrites a lil warning for explicit content especially in the first few chapters but It's really good if you like arranged marriage zutara

All these are off the top of my head and are pretty popular so there's a good chance you're read them already lol

Thank you so much for the recs! I've read the last two (which I would also 100% recommend) but I'll have to check the other one out!

[flowercrown-bard]

Thank you for the tag @swanfloatieknight!

3 ships:

1. Famine (Good Omens)/ Gluttony (as in the sin. I know there are no Sin Entities in Good Omens so I guess it's kinda like an OC? I just think the concept of the embodiments of Famine and Gluttony dating is fun idk)

2. Eskel/Jaskier (I know I mostly write Geraskier but Jaskier has even more potential for self esteem based angst and I love that)

3. Elias Bouchard (the actual Elias, not JM)/Peter Lukas (I didn't even consider shipping that one until I read a fic in which Peter was in love with the OG Elias and it was so heart breaking and fitting for an Avatar of the Lonely)

First ship: Zutara

Last movie: "The Magic Flute - Das Vermächtnis der Zauberflöte" that movie is an Experience™

Last song: Show People - Curtains: a great big new musical comedy

Currently reading: a lot of magnus archives fanfic

Currently watching: seven vs wild

Currently craving: three days to be just on my own with no obligations and no one to talk to.

Day one: going on a hike for up to six hours. Just being away from everything, maybe listening to some podfic

Day two: sitting at home, doing creative things. Writing, embroidery, coming up with designs for our play's stage set, maybe doing puzzles?

Day three: donate plasma. No other plans for that day bc donating always makes me super tired but it also makes me feel great mentally so there's that

(I've been craving those three days for over half a year and I probably won't get them until maybe June. I've put a lot of thought into them and I might be able to do one of those things this weekend :D)

Tagging: @girls-and-honey @flosimo @gilbert-von-kneecap @rebrandedbard @samstree @tears-of-a-fool @parttime-creative @dhwty-writes @combatbootsfemme sees this and wants to do this. As always, no pressure to do this

[klainelynch]

Do you have any Zuko or zutara podfic recs?

This ask has made me realize that I need to get back into listening to more podfic, because I only have one such rec in my bookmarks 😱 However, I can vouch that this is an all-time podfic for any fandom (it made me cry even though I'd already read the original work and cried then too), and I hope it's something that you'll enjoy!

something about titles

"Would you prefer it," Zuko asks Iroh, "If I called you, father?" Zuko thinks about the difference between father and uncle.

Podfic (6:26) by sisi_rambles and original work by Quillium aka @bataranqs

[chornayadrakoshig]

so, I spontaneously started doing podfic and I just want to share the covers (yeah I attached them to ao3 work where I'm posting it but you have to open the work to see the audio cover *sighs* but I want to share it more)

yes I randomly made a template that I kept reusing

and yes I'm mostly podding my own fics now OR orphaned works because I'm a bit anxious to approach other authors when I don't have a "backlog" of works AND I'm a beginner who haven't' figured out all the fancy bells and whistles yet

also one of those works is still WIP and not posted but I decided to take a break from audio editing and make a cover ahead of time

Those two are some of my old Code lyoko poems (in russian)

And this is orphaned ALTA Zutara fic that I found and recorded (in english

[paranoid-spotlight-everest]

First listening to fluffy podfics, then Zutara brainrot, then it's DNFing hours, then it's falling back into the reylo rabbithole (my babies <3) and THEN Dream loveposting my heart is going to explode from all the fuzzy feelings

[soopersara]

The Labyrinth of Illusions written by Boogum (aka @botherkupo)

Zuko was sure that he was dreaming. It didn't matter that he had already pinched his arm (and, yes, it had hurt) or that he felt as awake as a bat-cat on a full moon. What mattered was that this was not his bedroom and there seemed to be no exit. Just endless, endless mist and rock. Oh, and he was trapped with the waterbender.

Podfic on AO3

[amandayetagain]

Zuko: The waterbender is not my girlfriend.

June: nice work. The screeching is very convincing.

[neva-borne]

Would y'all be interested in a podfic version of These Scars of Ours? 😳

[ifyouwereamelodymeg]

I’ve been playing around with podficcing 31 Minutes in the moments when I felt like I wanted to do something but my brain was too mushy to revise or write. It kind of started out as a way of exploring my voice a wee bit after not having done any performing for a while, but I’m happier with the result than I was expecting to be so here it is!

I don’t have the skills to add in any fancy music or sound effects, and my editing skills are pretty much zero so sorry for any inconsistencies in the sound!

The fic itself can be found here on AO3.

Hope everyone’s having a good week! <3

where the poets die

zk fanwork appreciation week day 4: angst wednesday

my contribution to @zkfanworkweek for today!!

my podfic/fic reading of one of my favorite zk angst oneshots can be found here.

it’s based on a fic by @antarcticasx that can be found here.

more notes found below and in the description of the video itself!

this is for you, deeeee!! one of the first zk authors i ever discovered. i'm obsessed with your work and so elated at the fact that we're now friends. you're awesome. love you tons. (also this fic is so angsty, and it gets me in my FEELINGS.) 

i've always been a theatre kid (i sing/act/dance - the whole triple threat), and i was actually in a comic dubbing group a few years back (it was very fun, but we're on hiatus right now). i’ve also narrated a few informationals/commercials.

i've always wanted to give making podfics a try since it's very similar to dubbing/voice acting. i need more practice, but it was very enjoyable - i definitely plan on doing this again soon ;)
