DW-only direct download links for the convenience of archivists (may not be updated in the future; AO3 will always have the most recent links):

• A single unzipped mp3 file (151 MB);
• Four unzipped mp3 files of about an hour each:
  • Part one (36 MB),
  • Part two (35 MB),
  • Part three (38 MB),
  • Part four (42 MB); or
• An unzipped podbook (M4B file), chaptered at the fic's internal section breaks (165 MB).

Reader's note: Shockingly, this podfic has taught me that it is somewhat difficult to read 30K from the point-of-view of someone who is completely clueless about his feelings and motivations! Who'd have guessed.

My first attempt at recording this story was in 2013; I stopped in November because I just wasn't confident in my approach. I couldn't shake the urge, though, and at the very end of 2014 I came back and recorded the entire thing in three days, which for me is blazing speed, staying up late and getting up early to finish. (Then I spent half a year, off and on, struggling with the editing, but let's not talk about that.) It's a testament to how much I love this story, and how well it works for me on so many levels, that I kept at it all this time.

Feedback and constructive criticism: better, or at least less disturbing, than messages from beyond.

Also announced at my journal and amplificathon.
