Before anyone built towers or became kings that hide from councils or thought five hundred steps was some kind of actual challenge, there was a prince, a sorcerer, and a sea serpent in a river. But really, it started well before that. Because first, there was a prince, and silence, and a secret that was no secret at all.

I actually intended to podfic this ages ago, but it somehow kept slipping my mind. Better late than never!

We're all going to pretend I didn't attempt a Snape voice, okay?

eosrose, you saved the tiny shred of sanity I have left when my internet connection decided it wanted to rip it from me, and for that everyone I live with thanks you.

Designer's Notes

Thank you so much to dreaming_athena for introducing me to a wonderful story that really inspired my creative imagination - and also for being an awesome mod!

Sweeter Dreams (Art Only)

written by tierfal
performed by helva2260
cover design by yue_ix

|| Merlin (BBC) || Arthur/Merlin, Vivian/OC || Teens ||

Following a rather different ending to 2.10 ("Sweet Dreams"), Merlin and Arthur head to Olaf's kingdom of Valden to put things right. In the process, Merlin racks up an impressive series of treasonous crimes: insolence, incompetence, tripping while running for his life, and accusing the crown prince of snoring are only the beginning.

Reader's Notes

I have wanted to record this for a long time, and Chelle was kind enough to give me permission about six months ago to do it. I didn't know when I signed up for podfic big bang and requested permission to record this one that it is, in fact the mmom. I think that this selection is perfect for that. I'm also very glad that the inhumane policies decried by this fic are now in our past. Thanks to Chelle, whose fic I have been reading since my first foray in to fandom, when she wrote Enterprise fic, and to revolutionaryjo, who is terrific and great to work with. Also thanks so much to eosrose for undertaking to mod this podfic big bang.

Since I was one of the earliest podficcers to use music and sound effects extensively, it may surprise you to find none at all in this fic. I really have no handy explanation for why that is.

Massive credit and thanks to nightanddaze for writing this amazing fic and giving me kind permission to record it. I hope I've done it justice.

I had an absolute blast recording this. If it brings just one person to the amazingness that is Generation Kill then I've done my job! Come for the zombies, stay for the plot. Hope you enjoy :)

Designer's Notes

This is my Not-Familiar-With-This-Fandom-But-Loves-Zombies cover :) Thank you to ekbatana for being wonderful when I was all flaily and erasing chins.

Reader's Notes

This is the longest story I ever podfic'd and I'm really proud of the way it turned out. I'm pretty sure I put about 30 hours of work into this (maybe more) so here's to hoping it doesn't disappoint anyone!

Designer's Notes

I fell in love with this fic the first time I read it, and now I'm just even more in love. This is probably my favorite cover art I've ever gotten to make (how often do you have a reason to make a manip of a fox and wolf playing, really?) so hopefully everyone else enjoys it just as much.
