Summary:
“Hey.” Eddie tugs his hand. “No rules.“ He tugs again, prompting Steve to look up at him before he speaks again, softer. “This is just us, Stevie.”
Steve looks back at him, and Eddie can practically see the moment it sets in. That he’s safe here. That he’s free.
Thanks for the rec!
This rec is a part of Challenge Monday. The challenge this week was Fics with Podfics.

If you're still taking re-read recs (what an awesome topic!) I'd love to recommend some re-"listens." Frecklebombfic is one of my favorite readers and they recorded some of my all time favorite podfics of 1D stories.
Come Along With Me by darkofthenights (https://archiveofourown.org/works/6954535): Harry is a magician and Louis is very much in need of some magic. Takes place over one night and early morning.
Thought the Song Was Sung by 100percentsassy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/6252571): This is *hilarious* but also very sweet. Older Harry and Louis and very sharp, funny application of a dating app profile for Harry by masterminds Gemma & Niall.
In Dreams by dolce_piccante (https://archiveofourown.org/works/6252517): Harry and Louis are very different people who find each other at just the right time with the help of a friendly ghost.
Leave It To the Breeze by hattalove (https://archiveofourown.org/works/6252517): A GBBO AU. Just wonderful, unexpected characterizations and flavor combinations but they work. ;-)
I've listened to all of these literally dozens of times. The stories themselves as written are very strong and definitely stand on their own. But frecklebombfic is a terrific reader (she does distinctive, very satisfying voices for Harry and Louis -- the best I've heard, for sure) and that adds so much for me. There are several more on her AO3 page, but these are my favorites (and this is long enough).
Hi, Sugar. I love all of those stories, but I've never listened to the audios. Thank you for the suggestions, and bless you for including the links (and your reviews)!
I'm far off from editing this spy au I'm podficcing, but I keep wondering how folks feel about gunshots/bullet sfx in podfics...????
✨️ GENTLE REQUEST: If you don't listen to podfics or podcasts, pls select an answer in the hypothetical event that you (don't select Other).. and pls reblog for a bigger sample size!
** This may or may not effect my decision, I am simply just curious (I am already leaning towards not adding it because I don't want to exclude folks with ptsd or folks who just don't like the sound).
In case this clarifies anything: the sound of machine guns and pistols in particular is what I'm curious about, not so much like the dropping bullet shells or anything gun related that isn't a gunshot.
Fanfiction also exists in "audiobook" form! They're called podfics, and they can be read by the original author of a fic OR by any reader who has permission from the author!
If you want to listen to podfics:
the tag to look for on AO3 is "Podfic & Podficced Works".
If you want to create podfics:
you can search your fandom or pairing for "Podfic Welcome", a tag used by authors to indicate that anyone is free to create a podfic of that specific work! you don't need to reach out first- just go for it! then once you're ready to upload, the convention is to link your podfic on AO3 to the original fic and/or gift it to the fic author.
if you want to make a podfic for something that doesn't have a "Podfic Welcome" tag, check the author's profile- sometimes we have permission statements to specify which kinds of transformative works based on our own works are welcome, if any.
you can also reach out directly to the author to ask permission, since they might not be aware that podfics are a thing :) (please respect the answer they give you!)
Hello!! Thanks for tagging me in @forabeatofadrum and @orange-peony! Love seeing what you're working on.
My wife and I are !surprise! buying a new house in three weeks (we've been trying to buy a new house for over three years, but the market is wild and we've been in various kinds of limbo for various lengths of time, and this one wasn't supposed to end this quickly or at this time, but here we are.) Anyway, uh, who knows if I'll be able to fulfill all my October fandom goals with an early-November closing on the horizon, but maybe!
Snippet from Feet Buried in the Sand (formerly Beach Boys), ie my @leithillustration @carryon-reverse-bang fic, redacted for spoilerization. Longer than six sentences because limits are arbitrary.
"Can you swim?" Snow asks, flopping wetly down next to me. **Redacted**. He's been splashing about for a while, and his skin is pebbled with goose-pimples. He drapes himself against my side and presses an open-mouthed kiss to my chest over my heart.
"Get off, you heathen!" I laugh, shoving at him. He's soaking my shirt, an aqua linen tee studded with rosebuds.
He rolls entirely on top of me instead and shakes his head so that his hair rains salty droplets onto my sunglasses and over my face. My tongue dips out to slate my thirst on the water. I know that salt water won't help, but it's crisp and cool against my lips and when Snow pulls back, he looks down at my panting mouth and dives in.
His lips are cool, but his tongue is warm. I can't get enough of his mouth, his bacon-cookie smell, the way he's licking into me. I strain up into him **redacted**.
Progress on my podfics is going well, except... see below. I'm at the white-gray vertical line in editing this fic for content. The bottom THREE TRACKS are all cut sections. It's at minimum 80% of the audio I recorded. All the yellow in the first section is bringing the levels of my breaths down. Cue manic face.
An outtake, you'll see why I called it this.
I will continue to keep the fics a secret today except to say that they're by the inimitable @mostlymaudlin and that I've been contemplating whether I should use the "telephone vocal" setting in garageband. ;-) Feel free to make a guess.
i unfortunately have a concussion, which sucks. but the worst part is i can’t read any fics. so i was wondering if anyone had any steddie or wolfstar or jegulus podfics i could listen to as i heal?
would be great appreciated lovely people of the internet
I hope all is well and before I ask my question I'll send a huge hug your way 🤗
If I remember correctly you are not a big Podfic listener but do you have a list anyway?
I recently discovered the world of Podfics and it is really incredible!
I hope to let my collection grow:)
Stay safe and happy.
Love
Sabsi
Hey Lovely!!!
BIG HUGS and I hope you had a great weekend from Canada! 💜🖤
You are correct, I don't listen to Podfics, BUT because the request was so popular I have not one but FOUR lists based on fics from my bookmarks that I found out has Podfics, PLUS some recs from the community! Check it out:
Podfics
Podfics Pt. 2
Podfics Pt. 3
Johnlock Podfics by Podfixx
I just started my Pt 4 list as I find out fics I love have podfics, and as I get suggested fics that have podfics.
You can send in the podfics and we'll grab the original fic!
When you submit your fic recommendations, make you sure you add a note saying it's for Challenge Monday!
Monday's recs will only be for the challenge! Any that are not used will be recommended as per usual.

There is a podfic tag here. And also these great classics.
Podfic: Show Me The Way Back Home Baby by striped_bowties | 2 Hours | Text
In which Lydia and Jackson produce the world’s cutest baby, and the pack goes crazy—the good kind of crazy. Except for Derek, who is afraid of tiny cute babies and Stiles who plans to be the best Uncle ever. Even if Danny called dibs on Godfather.
[Podfic] Introduction to Zero-Sum Anthropology by kellifer_fic | 1 Hour | Text
Stiles buys Derek a set of cooking spoons. Derek retaliates with lunch. The war begins.
[Podfic] Fly a Little Faster by Audio2Rainbow | 3 Hours | Text
Everyone knows when you go back in time, you shouldn't step on an ant, just in case you accidentally kill your own grandparent or something. But what happens when you go back in time and, uh, accidentally interrupt the one event that apparently made the Grumpiest Alpha in Town into a ball of mindless manpain?
Well, if Marty McFly can do it, so can Stiles Stilinski. All he has to do is get Derek and Paige to fall in love before he gets pulled back to his own time. And before he makes anything worse. That's easy as pie, right? Right?
Cupboard Love by Mklutz [Podfic] by Rhea314 (Rhea) | 3 Hours | Text
He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain.
Alpha Spikes by Starbeast [Podfic] by Rhea314 (Rhea) | 7 Hours | Text
Alphas are like royalty and are offered their choice of any age eighteen-and-up virgin Omega for each year's heat season, as a 'thank-you' to all they've done for their compounds throughout the year. Derek is an Alpha and...yeah, Stiles. Stiles is an Omega. And still a virgin. In every way. And he's just turned eighteen. This...is not his day.
[Podfic] Gravity's Got Nothing on You by roseszain | 10 Hours | Text
“Three weeks,” Derek says.
“Still don’t want to,” Stiles says.
“I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so…
“How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“
“My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.”
“A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.
