[PODFIC] Bleating Hearts

by sunflower_swan_pods (sunflower_swan)

Summary:

Meet Doctor Aziraphale Fell, university lecturer of English Literature, Shakespearian expert, and man with an unexpected goat in his office. When the handsome herder who comes to catch the unruly visitor asks some pointed questions, Aziraphale finds his life suddenly turned upside down and filled with both new challenges and opportunities.

But is Crowley all that he says he is? And even if he isn’t–does it really matter when he’s clearly a piece of the puzzle missing in Aziraphale’s life?

Trip on over to Devil Doe’s Dairy and Goat Scaping Farm, where the cheese is always smooth, the goats climb roofs, and true love might just be around the corner.

Linked Skips & Explicit Content Explicit Content does not need to be listened to in order to enjoy the overall story. All chapters with explicit content will have alternate chapter recordings without explicit content, and summaries for any Plot Relevant moments, for readers who choose not to engage with the content.

Content Warnings will be at the start of each chapter, with summarized information in the end notes for anyone who needs it. If you believe anything has been missed, please reach out to me on Tumblr so it can be fixed for future listeners.

Acknowledgementsa: Thank you HKBlack for giving me permission to podfic your story almost a year ago! This will be my largest podfic undertaking to date and I'm really excited to work on it and bring your words to life. This fic is so adorable and well-written, and the idea of podficing it has lived rent-free in my head for MONTHS. As you listen, I encourage you to leave some love (kudos, flailing comments, etc.) on the original fic as well.

Sound effects warning: There may include intro, transition, and outro music, as well as a few story-relevant sound effects.

A note on Animal Care/Welfare: Crowley is a livestock farmer who uses his goats for a landscaping company as well as dairy/cheese making. He is friends and neighbors with other livestock farmers who raise and sell livestock for a similar variety of reasons, including human consumption. If you find yourself, through the course of this story, itching to leave a comment about the exploitation of farm animals on this fictional farm written by someone with limited farming experience, I implore you to stop, use the back button, and find another story to read. Thank you.
