Day 16: a podfic

FINALLY THE DAY HAS ARRIVED

I have been SO EXCITED ever since I saw this prompt that I will finally be able to rec some of the best podfics out there <3

The podfics I have chosen to include are in one way or another special to me in a way only audio media can be. Like that song you have heard on your first date and it’s now your song. Well, by this pattern I have „my podfic” of first commute to new workplace, this one autumn sunny walk with my dog, finding an absolute joy in a new hobby and finally being able to clean the dishes AFTER the meal rather than before it xd

There will be a few, so strap in and enjoy! All of them are Drarry of course 😁 Please make sure to check out other works by those creators, as they are literally all GOLDEN 🤍

Way Down We Go

🎧 by @cailynwrites, @etl-echo-audiobooks, 13h

Summary:

The war was over. Or at least that’s what the papers said. They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding. Maybe they did. *** In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town. It's super.

Thank you for my favourite prompt so far @hprecfest team and HUGE shoutout to all the amazing podficcers out there <3 Thank you for taking your time and energy making these recordings so we can make all the new memories with your voices in our heads (and these voices we welcome 😅)

Drarry Fic Rec: Set Six

Dady Says by GallaPlacidia podfic circa 3,9 hours, M

Eleven-year-old Scorpius starts writing to Harry. Harry starts to fall in love with Draco through his portrayal in his son's letters. Featuring an extremely remorseful Draco living with muggles and working at a second- hand book shop, an isolated Harry, and a Scorpius who's dreading going to Hogwarts because he knows he'll be bullied there.

Modern Love by @tackytigerfic 61,323 words, E

Harry Potter, of all people, knows that life isn’t always fair. And no one gets to be happy all of the time. But surely there’s something more—something better—than a rubbish Ministry job, and a lonely old house, and that feeling that everyone out there is doing a better job of living than Harry is. And it really doesn’t seem fair that Draco Malfoy is back in Harry’s life, all of a sudden, and even though he’s wandless, and living with Muggles, and making his mother cry with his lifestyle choices, he’s happy. So what's he doing right, that Harry isn’t? Because things don’t really change, do they? And if Harry can’t be happy, he’ll settle for a good night’s sleep, some posh antiques, and the opportunity to find out what Malfoy has been up to for all these years. And that’s what starts it all.

Here’s The Pencil, Make It Work by ignatiustrout 49,493 words, M

Harry thinks "Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?" is a much simpler question than, "Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don't, what will you do?"

This set includes my favorite stories about Draco having found his place in the Muggle world and Harry being lost among wizards. All of them feature the boys running into each other a few years after the war, and Harry trying to understand this new Draco Malfoy. Surely he is up to something; why else would he be laughing with his Muggle friends and look so bloody handsome!?

Friendships are always formed first, but they fall in love every time (sorry, spoilers).

'Dad Says' is a wonderful, high-quality podfic read by Galla herself. It has a sad and lonely Harry, a charming but exiled Draco, an adorably earnest Scorpius, and a perfect dynamic between the three of them. 'Modern Love' is lovely, fun, and has many of these same ingredients, but there is also a (sexy, tall!) vicar flirting with Draco and making Harry incredibly jealous. 'Here's The Pencil, Make It Work' also features this same dynamic (sad Harry + exiled Draco = meeting in the middle), and I will honestly never tire of Draco's Muggle friends recognizing Harry Potter's stalking of Draco Malfoy as the crush that it is.

Also, all of these have incredible original characters that make up Draco's new group of friends, and Draco casually using Muggle things with Harry gaping at him. Enjoy!

Teenage Wasteland

Draco never thought he’d end up as the sole guardian of a troubled teenage girl. Harry never thought he’d end up a werewolf. Being twenty-two is hard.

both of these fics have wrenched my heart in similar ways, like all good fic does! I had to bind them after being completely taken with the way Galla does her podcast - they are truly amazing! give them a listen, if you haven't yet!! ARGH

Quick reminder: You can absolutely wear skirts if you want to. Dresses? Yep! Makeup? Oh absolutely!!

Your gender doesn’t matter to clothes. Wear whatever makes you feel good. If anyone says shit about it, I’ll send an angry, semi-passive-aggressive message their way.

Me: Dad did you hear about the new NHL team?

Dad: ANOTHER ONE?!

Me: ya Seattle

Dad: well as long as its not like Vegas

Me: what do you mean?!

Dad: well they made the cup finals their first year and then lost, but hey, it still makes the flyers the quickest team to win the cup upon entry, may have been 40 years ago but still
