This podfic was created for the pod_together challenge, wherein authors and readers worked collaboratively to come up with stories meant to be read aloud. I had the pleasure of working with novembersmith, who provided me with this fabulous story. You can read the text and listen to the audio together at the AO3, as well as read notes from both the author and myself. Please leave feedback there so we both see it! :)
