[Podfic] A Comprehensive Menu of Blackbeard's Craft Cocktails by Oak1985
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
05 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
Stede's a middle-aged businessman going through a divorce, and he desperately needs a drink. He ends up at Blackbeard's: a charming little bar (that's technically not a gay bar but kind of is a gay bar) with nautical décor, classic rock, excellent cocktails, and a very pretty bartender who wears crop tops and leather.
Soon Stede becomes a regular, and obviously he just likes going there because the cocktails are great.
Definitely no other reason.
[podfic version of the_bedheaded_league's fic; 1 hour and 22 minutes long.]

Summary
After all, Ed reasons, if Stede wanted to sleep in the same bed with him again, he would have asked, wouldn’t he have—
Not that Ed asked, but— Stede isn’t like Ed. Right? He would’ve asked.
—Right?
“Maybe,” Stede continues, while Ed’s mind is spinning, “I can’t sleep because I got very, very used to sleeping with another person in here with me, and it’s not so easy without them, anymore.”
Ah, Ed thinks, before he says out loud, “Ah,” where it comes out significantly more strangled-sounding.
[Podfic version of ShowMeAHero's "somewhere to begin." 40 minutes long.]

Fandoms: Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)

Summary
"This is why she doesn’t like to think about those months with Helen. Jessica likes labels, likes tidiness and boxes and knowing where everything belongs. She can’t make the months with Helen belong anywhere, can’t make herself belong with Helen and then with Josh, can’t think of those months with Helen as an aberration or her love for Josh as self-denial and if she thinks about it too hard, about how right it felt with Helen and how right it is with Josh, she starts to think she doesn’t belong. Anywhere."

Summary
And that’s it, really, the crux of everything they are and always have been to each other. Carving themselves into the fabric of the mountain’s summit so that neither of them can exist there without the other. I promise I will not let you fall.
Sometimes everything you want doesn’t necessarily look like everything you want. It's Shane's first year in Ottawa and the Centaurs have made another historic playoff run, but when all is said and done, no one may come out of it unscathed. This is a story about picking up the pieces.
(This is a story about love.)

One Hundred and Thirty-Eight New Messages by CreteIsland
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
08 Apr 2026

Summary
Ilya is not going to do anything. He knows this. He's also standing very still.
He thinks about his mother's arm, hanging over the side of the bed. He was twelve. He'd thought she was sleeping.
He closes the cabinet.
The face in the mirror is someone he recognizes in the way you recognize a city you lived in as a child: the basic geography is familiar, but you can't find anything you're looking for.
-
Or: A closer look at Ilya’s first year in Ottawa, set against his first in Boston—featuring a long-lost answering machine he claimed he’d never listen to, the family inevitably left behind when you move, and the mostly self-imposed pressure of loving a man as large and looming as the great Shane Hollander.

The Discipline Of It by CreteIsland

Summary
Shane was fourteen the first time a number felt like safety.
The nutritionist worked out of an office in Kanata, framed certificates, a calm voice, laminated charts with columns. She explained it simply: fuel in, output required, timing of each. She said it was a starting point.
Shane took notes in the margins the way he took notes on everything—completely, past what was required. Yuna had found the nutritionist herself, sat beside him, and took notes too.
Like mother, like son.
-
Or: Shane’s system works until it doesn’t; Ilya notices first.
