Avengers podfic: fragments

Title: fragments
Author: Anonymous
Reader: nikojen (the cover is just me, too)

Fandom: Avengers (gen - Steve + Tony)
Rating: PG-13-ish(?)
Warnings: Potential triggery content regarding depression
Length: 27:04

Summary: Written in response to an avengerkink prompt that requested Steve dealing with depression over his lost time and having a bout of breaking down.

Reader Note: Kinda nervous on this one, so some fair warnings. It's an "Anonymous" fic with no official approval from the author, and it's debatable whether I've waited long enough since asking permission. (Author-Anon, if you see this before my comment on your story, please do contact me. This is intended as an act of love for your work, not to step on toes.) I also recorded this on the tail end of a crying jag, since hey! perfect time to do that "Read Sadly" bingo square! I'll probably be cringing at how OTT it gets five seconds after posting. I'm also leaving it with the bare minimum of editing, since I think my usual nitpicky editing process would defeat the "trying new things" aspect of the bingo. So, more breath noises and whiny cats in the background than average, and likely sub-par effort at character voices. :P Oh, and the Reader Notes are overly verbose, to boot. Sorry. :P

Thank you. :)

I loved this - the content could have been depressing, but somehow I just wanted to follow your voice to the end of the story, your reading was exceedingly engrossing and well done. Meditative - and ultimately hopeful....

Hi! I'm so sorry to be so long in replying... I've been out-of-town and internet-less the last two weeks.

Thanks so much for the kind words. :) I really enjoyed the process on this one, so I'm glad to know it comes across ok and isn't just too much of a downer. :)

Thanks!

Oh this was lovely. Your voice was really wonderfully emotional in a way that made this really affecting (but also really hard to listen to at lunch in my work break room :p).

Thank you so much for your comments. :) I was worried before posting that it was over-the-top, but then on subsequent listens, I was afraid it was too monotone (^_^) so I'm thrilled to know that the emotion came across.
