Reader's Notes: All my thanks to

sandymg for giving blanket permission to podfic. When I made a last minute decision to create a second podfic for Podfic Big Bang, her brilliant work immediately came to mind. This has been a favorite of mine for years now. Thanks also goes to

darklondonsky for agreeing to create some gorgeous podart for this project, despite having never read the story before!

Summary: Jared has had a secret crush for months. But it's not like publishing genius and gay activist Jensen Ackles is going to notice the tall, weird guy pushing the mail cart. So when Jared's best friend and Jensen's assistant, Sandy, tells him that Jensen is getting married in one month to a fellow activist -- something about being the first gay couple to get married in the state -- Jared knows some things just aren't meant to be. And now Sandy is insisting that Jared help her plan the wedding. She thinks it's a good idea. Jared thinks she's nuts. Because the only thing this could lead to is heartbreak. Right?

Fandom: Harry Potter
Ship: Severus Snape/Harry Potter

Reader's Notes: This is my longest project to date, and my first one in multiple parts, so that was a learning experience in creating the podbook. Thanks to the author for permission to record this awesome fic, although it's still frustrating to deal with your short, choppy, incomplete sentences! That said, I hope I performed it with justice and emotion.

Summary: "The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater." (Tolkien)

Albus Dumbledore is dead, Severus Snape is the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Minerva is the spy inside the castle, and the war wages on. When the Boy Who Lived, who died in an accident before he was old enough to go to Hogwarts, is found going about his business in the Muggle World, everything changes – for the Order, for the Wizarding world and especially for Severus Snape. As Severus tries to discover why Albus hid Harry Potter, Harry Potter discovers magic, friends and a godfather, but nothing interests him more than Severus. A retelling of the final destruction of Voldemort, by the Boy Who Lived for quite a different reason.

Beta Listener:

themusecalliope
Fandom: The Hobbit (Jackson movies)
Ship: Thorin Oakenshield/Bilbo Baggins, (background) Fili/Ori
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None
Reader's Notes: It’s been a long road. I started recording this story a year ago and I'm overjoyed that I can finally share it with the world. I’d like to thank

Lapin for letting me record this podfic,

fire_juggler for standing by me through the entire recording + editing process, and

themusecalliope for agreeing to beta listen to this four-hour monster.

Some things to know beforehand:
1) In chapter 1, I recorded waaaaaay too close to the mic, so it sounds like my breath is tapping the microphone in some places
2) The sound quality is up and down, at times. Welcome to my long podfics.
3) Happy listening!

Summary: Thorin marries Bilbo after the Battle of Five Armies, a marriage of convenience, not love. Slowly, they must come to make the best of it, Bilbo resolves. After all, he's a Hobbit. They make the best of things.

So many thanks--ALL OF THE THANKS--to all my podficcer friends who I managed to rope into this project. YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED. And thank you to all my beta listeners who listened to this monster and made it so much better.

Reader's Notes: Thanks so much to Amphigoury without whom this never would have come to fruition.

Summary: The crew of the merchant ship Avalon are a good lot if a little odd. The captain, Morgana, has weird dreams. The first mate, Arthur, is an unpleasant ex-lieutenant of the Phoenix Guard. The ship itself is falling apart. When they take on a new engineer named Merlin at Tintagel drift to help with repairs, they not only get a genius, they get much more than they bargained for.

Cover Artist:

ctbn60
Fandom: SPN RPF
Ship: Jared/Jensen (also contains Jeff/Jensen, Jared/Zach Quinto, & Jeff/Kristen Bell)
Rating: R
Warnings: violence on a level with the TV show Bones

Summary: This is a J2 AU based loosely off of Fox's Bones.
Special Agent Jared Padalecki's gut instinct is a pretty reliable indicator of a lot of things.

It lets him know when a suspect is lying through his teeth, whether a house is safe to walk through, and when he's about to step into a fire fight. It's only been really, stupidly wrong about a couple of things in his entire life, which is why Jared's surprised when, twenty minutes after the first time he takes Jensen Ackles into the field, he finds himself crouched underneath an FBI suburban, bleeding all over his suit.

Cover Artist:

fire_juggler
Fandom: Glee
Ship: Blaine Anderson/Kurt Hummel
Rating: T
Warnings: Some parts deal with the mostly unspecific aftermath of being attacked in a (canonical) hate crime.
Reader's Notes: So. This is a project that I've had on the go for about six months now. The lovely

flaming_muse gave me permission to podfic (thank you!) and I recorded the majority of this back in April, but it's taken me this long to actually get the thing edited and re-recorded where needed. I'm not sure what the block was, but I think in part it's because this is special story to me but it's also tough in places and so this was quite an emotional thing to make. Luckily the Big Bang was just what I needed to give me the push to finish.

Thanks to

fire_juggler, who created the artwork, listened to an early draft and provided some much needed encouragement whilst I was angsting over this.

The music used throughout the podfic is Ducci's beautiful piano cover of Demons by Imagine Dragons.

Summary: Clothes make the man.

Ship: Sam/Gabriel, Dean/Castiel
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Some gore, similar levels to the show. Some swearing, in dialogue and in Dean’s narrative voice. Use of real historical characters. Chapter 15 contains scenes of violence involving children.

Summary: Kali can breathe life back into a corpse, but what exactly is Gabriel now? Gabriel flits around various centuries trying to work that out, Dean has another powered-down angel and a little brother to look out for, Castiel has forgotten how to trust, and someone keeps sending Sam annoying little notes on his laptop. Oh, and Bobby would like to remind you all that there’s an Apocalypse still going on. Covers season 5 from Gabriel’s death to the finale.

mashimero
Fandom: Supernatural
Ship: Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Spoilers for season 3, veers off track by season 4. Explicit sexual content (barebacking), substance abuse (alcohol, demon blood), temporary (canon) character death, dubcon (once because of alcohol, the other because of demon blood), violence, and language.

Summary: Season 3 AU: Sam continues to use the dream root after they finish the dreamwalking hunt in order to make his ability to control dreams stronger. He tells himself it's just to hone a skill he can use while hunting. As Dean's deal gets closer to coming due and Sam's nightmares become more and more vivid, however, it becomes an escape—until Sam walks into Dean's dream and everything changes. What started as a way to avoid bad dreams becomes a new connection between Sam and Dean, one so strong that even the distance between Earth and Hell can't keep them apart.

Reader's Notes:First, I'd like to thank the many people who helped make this podfic possible. To

cantarina, my wonderful beta, who gave the best feedback that I could have asked for and supported me these past few months. To

kalakirya, who made ten drafts of cover art for me to choose from. Lastly, to

fire_juggler, who held my hand every step of the way and gave me the courage to do this. Although, there are some issues with the sound quality in this podfic, all of Yahtzee's fics speak to my heart and I want everyone to enjoy them just as much as I do.
