Note to mods: the author of this fic wishes to keep their name out of search engine view as much as possible. I say their name in the recording and I put it in the metadata of the mp3 file, but if you could archive it under author: anonymous, that'd be great.

Reader’s notes:
Thanks to katieforsythe for author permission, for writing such a brilliant story, and for being all-'round amazing.

luzula beat me to the punch on recording this fic (by a couple of years, at that), but, fortuitously, multipodicity has declared this month to be repodding month. :)

Thanks to vassalady and paraka for proof listening and file hosting, respectively.

I’d love to receive listeners' feedback, constructive criticism, and/or squeeing. All comments will be cherished and snuggled and cooed over.

Mods, can I get a "fandom:peanuts" tag? I might suggest "fandom:comic strips", but there's already a separate "fandom:calvin & hobbes" tag, so...
