Kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

No Snowmen on Tatooine

Triangles Day 5 Reveals

Three podfics collaboratively created by @paraka, @sisi-rambles & @violentcherryblossommagic

Of Muggles and Searches and Family

(Harry Potter)

Chosen by paraka, recorded by sisi_rambles, and edited by ViolentCherryBlossomMagic

Summary:

She looks sad, late at night. Tucked into his side and pretending that she doesn't want to cry and he wonders, sometimes, if this is what it was like when he left them, all those months ago. So he starts to ask questions. All those little questions he should have asked years ago but never did. What are you parents like? What sports did they take you to see? What did they think, when they found out you were a witch? First he asks to distract her. Then, a little later, he asks because all those questions are what makes up her and anything that made her is something he really, genuinely wants to know.

baby birds and other adventures

(Harry Potter)

Chosen by ViolentCherryBlossomMagic, recorded by paraka, and edited by sisi_rambles

Summary:

Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over. The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people. "My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family." "Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple. Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

As Clever Does

(Harry Potter)

Chosen by sisi_rambles, recorded by ViolentCherryBlossomMagic, and edited by paraka

Summary:

By negotiating a contract, pulling a prank, starting a small business, and discussing justice and death, four characters demonstrate what being clever means to them

Summary:

[podficpolygons]

Triangles Day 3 Reveals!

Three podfics collaboratively created by @godoflaundrybaskets, @duendeverde4 & @commandertanoreturns

[ounce of peace]

(MCU)

Chosen by Godoflaundrybaskets, recorded by DuendeVerde4, and edited by Gondolin

Summary:

"You know one of the first pieces of advice Rhodey ever gave me, after the stupid fucking Expo?" she asks, quietly, picking an imaginary piece of lint off the shoulder of his shirt with her free hand. She goes on before Tony can come up with something smart and says, "He said you were guaranteed to say stuff like that. That you would definitely have times where you said you had no idea why I had anything to do with you, or even ask me why. And that I should never, ever actually tell you."

like a bird scared at an empty bush, trembling for nothing

(The Iliad - Homer, Greek and Roman Mythology, The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller)

Chosen by DuendeVerde4, recorded by Gondolin, and edited by GodOfLaundryBaskets

Summary:

“Ah, what to ask,” he says, tapping his chin, looking thoughtful and downright mischievous. Theatrically, he holds up his finger as though he’s thought of something, even though Achilles can tell he knew exactly what he was going to ask before the bottle had even landed on him. “Never have I ever been in love.” Penelope drinks, adding to Achilles’ confusion, and then so does Patroclus.

So does Patroclus.

Achilles literally does a double take. His mouth falls open.

Table 8

(MCU, Captain America (Movies), Iron Man (Movies))

Chosen by Gondolin, recorded by GodOfLaundryBaskets, and edited by DuendeVerde4

Summary:

3 am is Riri’s favorite time at the diner. It’s when her “midnight daters” show up. And if Tony Stark wants to frequent her workplace at ugly-o-clock in the morning… well, she’s not gonna turn down the tips (even if his “disguise” is beyond unconvincing).

[podficpolygons]

Triangles Day 2 Reveals!

Three podfics collaboratively created by @annapods, @everyperfectsummer & @reena-jenkins

Strays, Thieves, and Happy Ever Afters

(The Flash)

Chosen by Annapods, recorded by/coverart by everyperfectsummer, and edited by reena_jenkins

Me and You and You and Me (So Happy Together)

a safe place to hide us away.

(The Flash)

Chosen by everyperfectsummer, recorded by reena_jenkins, and edited by/coverart by Annapods

Summary:

Barry’s still quiet though and when Len looks over, he’s hunched over in his chair, still intently focused on his phone screen. Len settles in the chair next to him, eyebrow lifting even higher when Barry hunches in even further, like he’s protecting himself or something.

Triangles Day 1 Reveals!

Three podfics collaboratively created by fleurrochard Rindle, & BabelGhoti!

Some Assistance Required

(Person of Interest)

Chosen by fleurrochard, recorded by Rindle, and edited by BabelGhoti

Summary:

"Finch? Everything okay?" Finch cleared his throat. "I, ehm, I require your assistance, Mr. Reese."

Father Knows Best

(Teen Wolf)

Chosen by BabelGhoti, recorded by fleurrochard, and edited by Rindle

Summary:

Sheriff Stilinski has finally figured out the cause of the rift between them: his son's gay, and he's effectively cut that line of communication. Being the good father that he is, he tries to make sure Stiles knows that he can tell him anything, especially about Derek Hale. Their wires seem to have gotten crossed somewhere.

Whispers

(Dragon Age II, Dragon Age - All Media Types)

Chosen by Rindle, recorded by BabelGhoti, and edited by fleurrochard

Summary:

"No whispering," Anders said. His voice was quiet but it was a low murmur, not hinting at his quickened breath or flushed skin. He arched, his hips bucked as he thrust into Hawke's fist, but no sound escaped his lips. "Whispers - nn - carry. They sound - they sound..." "Exciting?" Hawke suggested. "Dirty?" "Yeah. Yeah, that."

Hawke and Anders haven't told their friends about their new relationship - but an overnight trip to the Wounded Coast will make keeping things quiet challenging for them both. Shameless smut, part of Breaking the Silence but reading the rest of the series isn't necessary, this is total PWP.

Pentagons reveals!

Five podfics collaboratively created by @annapods, cookiemom6067, @duendeverde4, litra & @bisexualshakespeare

The Stars, Full of Grace

(Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Chosen by Litra, recorded by DuendeVerde4, edited by Annapods, cover art by cookiemom6067 & sound effects by TheArcher

Summary:  A series of character studies as Thor/Avengers-verse characters consider the stars. You can think of it as five good guys and one bad guy, or five non-Avengers and one Avenger (though that way it’d be out of order).

Some Summers They Drop Like Flys

(Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America)

Chosen by TheArcher, recorded by Litra, edited by DuendeVerde4, cover art by Annapods & music by cookiemom6067

Summary:  Natasha blew all her covers. It's a brave new world.

Cinematic

(The Avengers)

Chosen by cookiemom6067, recorded by TheArcher, edited by Litra, cover art by Duendeverde4 & sound effects and music by Annapods

Summary:  Captain America made some films during the second World War, so it's not surprising when Hollywood comes calling again when he makes the news and develops a fanbase after the Avengers save New York. Tony is alternately skeptical, intrigued, envious, and...turned-on.

Sky Full of Stars

(Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Chosen by Annapods, recorded by cookiemom6067, edited by TheArcher, cover art by Litra & music by Duendeverde4

Summary:  A space geek Tony.

the hallways of the home

(Guardians of the Galaxy)

Chosen by Duendeverde4, recorded by Annapods, edited by cookiemom6067, cover art by TheArcher & sound effects by Litra

Summary:  Now, when he suddenly has a former assassin, a maniac and two thugs for roommates, it's a bit of culture shock. It was kinda cool to have company once in a while, sure--but learning to live (no, literally stay alive) while living in the same ship with these guys was an interesting experience, to put it lightly.
