Fire Juggler

I was poking around AO3 looking for a fic that would be good for the Trans Character square on my podfic_bingo card. The original plan was to find a happy fic. I feel strongly about the LGBTQ community having positive, happy stories. And then I read this fic and I was catapulted back to college, to a late-night conversation with my trans friend where there were many tears and during which I have never felt so helpless, completely unable to help my friend whose body was betraying him every month. I could pretty much only listen. So…yeah. This fic, though short, hit me in the gut and captured something that I couldn't ignore, and it reminded me that sometimes, even when we feel like we can't help, a compassionate ear can make all the difference. Sometimes, just being there is enough.

Many thanks so much to gemmi999 for giving me permission to record and for writing a fic that hit me very close to home. You expressed so much in so few words and were wonderfully enthusiastic about the process. And as always, thanks as well to takola and teas_me for the beta jobs.

Note that this podfic is potentially triggery and deals with abortion. Please listen with care.

This is the second podfic I did for the #informaltwitterpodficexchange, organized by bessyboo and vworpvworp. It is one of two gifts for nickelmountain.

I just loved reading this fic. There is something about Jess being made-of-win, that just totally gets me. And I just know that Dean was always checking up on Sam while he was at college. geckoholic does such a great job capturing the weird awkwardness of Dean when trying to deal with any of his emotions, and she writes Jess with this amazing personality that completely matches what I know of her.

To geckoholic, thanks so much for permission to record this fic. It was such a great experience and you were so awesome about getting back to me so quickly. Thank you also to ladydeth12 for the superfast beta job you did so that I could get this in before the deadline! ♥

I found this little drabble as I was looking for really good SPN gen!fics, which I haven't read a lot of. It was incredibly fun to dive into a new genre! I read this drabble and I just fell in love with it. eighth_horizon does an incredible job of capturing the dysfunctional/functional family that is the Winchesters in so few words. I've really been appreciating drabbles recently in the way that the create such a huge world with so little when they are done well, and this is done well.

Thank you to eighth_horizon for that glorious Blanket Permission statement on your profile, and for the incredible fic that you wrote! Thank you to ladydeth12 for the superfast beta job you did so that I could get this in before the deadline! ♥
