The Alexandrian Solution (Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles, explicit/NC17) (read by hananobira, from a fic written by bexless) (knotting jokes ahoy) (43min)
If you already have this podfic in your live, you know that hananobira's reading is pitch-perfect and hilarious and sexy and I need say no more. If you do not have this podfic in your life then you should get on that, partly because the story is hot and hilarious, but mostly because hananobira is so clearly having a ball reading it and her amusement is infectious and it's hot and her voice and the story go together really well and just go listen you can thank me later :D

A Perception of Sweethearts Passing Through (Avengers, Natasha/Maria Hill, explicit/NC17) (read by exmanhater and analise010, from a fic written by thingswithwings) (caning and painplay) (20min)
kink! Femslash! COLLAB! :DDDDD
Yes, the story is hot and well-written and all those lovely things and that is awesome, don't get me wrong! But somehow having two readers on a podfic that involves kink and negotiation is even better, and two such wonderful readers takes it into this whole other even awesomer thing because then my brain goes meta about negotiating how to read a scene about sex and negotiation and the whole thing could end up being just unbearably sexy (not that there's anything "just" about unbearably sexy), but having two readers working off each other's readings makes it less about the product than about the interaction and I'm not expressing this well but that's REALLY REALLY COOL <3___<3

might as well kiss the monster, laugh and fuck until you're dead (Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles, Allison/Scott, Lydia/Peter, Lydia/Scott, Lydia/Jackson, Boyd/Erica, explicit/NC17) (organized by lunchee, with voices by dapatty, fleet, fleurrochard, hello_deer, jelazakazone, mistressjinx, kalakirya, kdheart, krw, lunchee, miss_marina95, podcath, reena_jenkins, sophinisba and teprometo from a story written by hoars) (violence, drugs, infidelity THIS IS DARK AS FUCK OK) (1hour 5min)
ok, so full disclosure, I was a voice in this, and got an advanced beta-listen BUT THIS THING IS SO AWESOME I COULDN'T CARE LESS. It's one of those podfics that feels very different from the written story - not better or worse, just different. The written story is all in pieces, and when I was reading it it took me awhile to pull all the pieces together and figure out what was going on, but the podfic, with all the different voices, doesn't work like that. With some many voices, the text pulls apart a tiny bit - the pieces are read by different people, so they don't fit together as closely - and at least for me, that was a good thing, because it made it easier to see how everything fit together and track what's going on, and remember that all the bits are from different points of view and that's just really cool and I love it :D

Post-Its of a Life Well-Loved (Warehouse 13, HG/Myka, adult/R) (read by jelazakazone, from a fic written by mjduncan) (13min)
This is another one of those podfics that I like listening to just because the reader sounds like they're having so much fun reading the story and has so much affection for the story that, much as I love the story (and I do! Myka and HG! Claudia pov!! EPISTOLARY!!!), my love of it comes secondary to just listening to the podficcer having fun. My favorite bit is her reading of "FORGET THE PICKLES I JUST WANT YOU" and it makes me crack up every time because it's exasperated and horny and in love and it all comes through and I love everything :D

Man Friday (The Eagle, Esca/Marcus, Esca/everyone, adult-ish) (read by greedy_dancer, from a fic written by pouxin) (23min) (college AU, slight slut-shaming language)
The way greedy_dancer reads this is hilarious. There's a lot more I could say, but that's the important bit. HI-LAR-I-OUS. There're a lot of boys being stoopid and emotions flying around and greedy_dancer puts a lot of emphasis into her reading and it's just so much fun to listen to and Marcus' Utter Lack of Understanding of What the Hell Is Going On is great and Esca's I Know What I Life and there's this bit where they transition seamlessly from bickering about Esca's latest one-night-stand to bickering about peanut butter and when I read it the transition didn't make a lot of sense to me but when greedy_dancer read it it all made sense and UGH booooyyyyyys :D

Lights go Out Here I Go Again (Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, explicit/NC17) (read by jelazakazone, from a fic written byhalffizzbin) (vibrators)
awww poor Arthur is new to the modern age and there's nothing for him to do and has no clue what this odd object is and GO GOD IT MOVES and jelazakazone's reading of Arthur's confusion and surprise is lovely because the story could have been bittersweet and confused and lost but instead it's Arthur exploring this strange new world and he's excited and intrigued and willing to ~experiment and it's just lovely and that's all in the reading and :D

The Morning After (Anthropomorphic, Fandom/Pinboard, Fandom/Delicious, Teen/PG13) (read by greedy_dancer, from a fic written by ambyr) (THE BEST KIND OF CRACK) (5min)
dude. It's anthropomorphic crack about Fandom and Pinboard and Delicious. Read by greedy_dancer. It is Awesome In All Ways. Go. Now. Though I think Delicious moaning "But I gave her back her slash symbol D:" is my favorite :D

Not Fooling Anybody (Jeeves and Wooster, Bertie/Jeeves, Teen/PG13) (read by majoline, from a fic written by random_nexus) (7min)
What can I say, it's another podfic where the podficcer is clearly having fun reading this adorable story, and it's just a lot of fun to be carried along by that. The story is good too, and it's cute as written, but Bertie and Jeeves' affection for each other comes through all the better for the reader's affection for the two of them and I just love it so :D
