2024 in review (pods and fics)

I was quite prolific in 2024, publishing 35 works. The vast majority (33) are pods, though I did publish two very short fics. And most of them were in the Harry Potter fandom, though I did make two short Schitt's Creek pods.

[Podfic] The Man Who Forgot by SlightWeasel Clocking in at 21 hours, it was by far my longest and most ambitious project ever. Such a great fic, and I'm really proud of myself for finishing it. And I bound it.

[Podfics] Twenty-Two Cards by peu_a_peu Rookie Moves is one of my top five favorite fics, and I had so much fun making this (as well as the six other fics in the series.) I also bound it.

[Podfic] By Any Other Name and [Podfic] Through a New Lens Two great, fics by @dracognition. So witty and clever, I immediately wanted to record them after reading.

Lots of fics by @moonflower-rose!

[Podfic] Contretemps

[Podfic] Poppiholla

[Podfic] Hoppípolla

and the highlight was collaborating on [Podfic] As Easy As That with @reveriepi, @cailynwrites, and @thirdeye1234.

For my 100th published work, I decided to do something different and recorded a wolfstar fic, [Podfic] the son and heir of nothing in particular. It won't be the last! I have more in mind for 2025.

I was so very delighted to have guessed the author of [Podfic] The Superfluous Man (along with a lot of other people) before reveals and was able to get it recorded before everyone knew (with 100% certainty, anyway) that it was peu_a_peu that wrote it.

I also recorded my first @dodgerkedavra fic, [Podfic] See Me and Live, which is so lovely and funny and sweet and it definitely won't be my last Dodger pod. (I have one almost complete, so it'll probably be released fairly soon.)

This is only a few of the pods I published this year, there are plenty more, and since I only record fics I absolutely love, I can wholeheartedly recommend every last one of them, to read, if not to listen to.

Speaking of reading, these are the two short fics I wrote. Very short. Just silly little things. But it was fun to dip my toes back into writing again. The Scariest Witch and Think of the children!, both under 1000 words. So really. Little.

Now I'd love to hear from everyone I tagged here! (and thanks for tagging me, @citrusses!)

4:24pm jack's apartment tater

:D

okay for some reason my instinct is to write sad tater but i battled against that bc i didn't want to be sad today. thanks for the prompt, hope you like it!

want your own ficlet? TWO DAYS LEFT rules here.

🏒🏒🏒🏒

jack's apartment, 4:24pm

“But consider this,” Jack is saying, as Bitty pushes him towards the door, “I could stay here instead.”

“You are just the sweetest thing, aintcha? But we both know you’ll melt if you’re away from ice any longer you big Canadian moose. Go skate with Shitty – I know you’ve missed him somethin’ fierce since he was here after the Cup.”

Tater sniggers into the couch cushions at the sight of Jack Laurent Zimmermann – college graduate with honors, top five for the Rocket Richard and Art Ross, runner up for the Conn Smythe, Calder Cup Winner, and Stanley Cup Champion – pouting at his boyfriend.

“Bits—”

“Get out of here, Mr. Zimmermann,” Bitty laughs. “We’ll be just fine on our own, and we’ll be here when you get back.”

“Fine.” Jack leans in for one more kiss and Bitty pushes up into the contact so easily that Tater actually looks away, feeling a little like he’s intruding – only looking up again at the sound of the door closing.

Bitty collects Tater’s evening meds and a slice of pie for both of them before making his way back into the living room, shaking his head fondly. “Never thought I’d see the day when Jack Zimmermann was whining about going to the rink. Somewhere pigs are flyin’.”

“Seem to me like good reason to pout: Little B staying home.”

“You’re sweet as all get out.”

“Am best,” Tater confirms before shoveling blueberry pie into his mouth with a groan of pleasure.

“How’s your leg today? Still sore after PT today?”

“Da. But feels stronger. I’ll be back to start next season I’m thinking.”

Bitty does a little dance in his seat in celebration. “Tater, that’s fantastic! I’m so pleased for you, hon.”

“Is rough, no skate, no running, only bike and swimming sometimes. Feel с ума – not sure what English is – like not wanting to sit still, but forced to.”

“Oh, stir-crazy?” Tater nods. “I totally get that – I got a bad concussion my frog year, couldn’t do anything with impact until the start of the next season. I didn’t think I would miss running in the Georgia heat, but Lord, I would have given anything just to go for a jog, I was so bored.”

Tater lifts his plate and waggles his eyebrows. “Pie helps lots. Would be sad without.”

“Well we can’t have that,” Bitty says, mock seriously before sitting up straight. “Now, to business. Jack will be gone for at least two hours, probably closer to three since Shitty will drag him out for dinner after.”

“We have time to finish Drag Race?”

“We do indeed.”

“Was wrong before. Little B is best.”

Bitty doesn’t say anything, just smiles at Tater fondly, grabs the remote and settles himself against Tater’s side, tucked safely under Tater’s arm. His leg is sore, he’s itching to get back to the ice and conditioning, but Bitty has a way of making all his frustration melt away.

what IF the leaves are real?!?!

Well, IF they were real, they’d be called Flutters and everyone would have a Flutter that came out at emotional moments. And MAYBE, Charlie’s would be leaves and Nick’s would be flowers and the Flutters would be spectral matchmakers.

The common consensus for the Flutters was that they appeared in moments of high positive emotion, a way to outwardly show feelings that were too big to contain. Charlie remembered them whizzing past his ear the first time he kissed a boy and sneaking his eyes open just a crack to see what Ben’s Flutters looked like. But all he saw were his own leaves, circling around their heads, nothing else mixing with them.

He figured they would make an appearance eventually; sometimes people repressed emotions to hide them so as not to embarrass themselves. Maybe Ben was nervous that Charlie would be turned off by any eagerness. Months went by, dozens of kisses were exchanged, and Charlie had still never seen Ben’s Flutters. He tried to convince himself that it didn’t dent his heart.

(SORRY ABOUT THE BEN)

I have a lot of WIPs so ask me about them!

1 and 25!

Well Thankssomuch! I’m honored 💙🦛

#1: Favorite fic I wrote this year...I’m notoriously indecisive. So I would say it’s a tie between How Will I Know? and The Night I Looked at You. How Will I Know is messy, unbeta’d and riddled with errors. But it was my first and brought me untold amounts of joy. The Night I Looked at You was sparked by a conversation between 2 of my very dear friends @walnuts-and-berries and @blackandwhiteandrose and...how could I say No to that???

#25: A fic I read this year that I believe everyone should read. I’m unapologetically in love with Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by @this-will-be-our-year It was the fic that made me join AO3 as a user because I had to let them know how much I adore it. I just read it again recently and I swear I’m never prepared for how I feel when I do.
