    Excellent fic and podfic, slowburn, alternating pov, hurt/comfort, as in A LOT of hurt, serious injury including paralysis and invalid care. Believable story progression, and well worth a re-listen as well.

    Summary

    Lan Qiren had never had a student he couldn’t improve, and Wei Wuxian would not be the exception, especially not now that his nephew was in love with the troublemaker.

    He would not allow history to repeat itself.
    ----------

    A fluffy canon divergence AU where Lan Qiren realises Lan Wangji is in love with Wei Wuxian and is determined to not let history repeat itself. He sets out to reshape Wei Wuxian into an exceptional cultivator and a good match for Wangji, and along the way changes the course of their lives.

    What a sweet series, low angst, low conflict, and high on love and comfort. Perfect when you need a pick me up, something that reminds you that yes, communication is key, people are good, and all will be well for our favorite characters. And yeah, you had me at the "Good Uncle Lan Qiren" tag. And Keri's reading of it is so wonderful, smooth and easy to listen to. It has warmed me in these cold winter days. Would highly recommend! 😺

    Hella-long story, but very well written, canon divergence but still coinciding with other canon events. Pacing slow but not in a bad way, it allows TIME for character development and relationship building to progress realistically. I like that it's not rushed, although I never would have had time to actually read it. Thankfully it was podficced (read by the author no less), and podfic is excellent. It's first in a series, and I really look forward to the rest.

    Bilbo Baggins is a humble grocer, living a simple, quiet life. He likes his solitude and his predictable routine.

     

    The police say the Sons of Durin are a crime family. The government has labeled them a group of environmental terrorists. Thorin Oakenshield will tell you that they are simply desperate for a home.

     

    But when Bilbo is dragged into the midst of the group as their unwilling burglar, his life will take a turn for the terrifying, and everything he has taken for granted will be torn asunder.

    Holy shit, this is what little podfics wanna be when they grow up. Absolutely beautiful reading of an epic fic. kalakirya has such a beautiful voice, and narrates so smoothly, with distinctive character voices. And it's a great story with really neat callbacks to the source material in an AU that works so well. And can I mention the excellent pacing? Because for such a long work, it is fast paced, so tightly woven, and every word counts (no "filler episodes" here, folks). I can highly, highly recommend!!

    Summary

    “Yiling Patriarch,” he begins, and Wei Wuxian’s face clouds.

    “Please. That’s not – you know me, Zewu-jun. What’s wrong? Why are you here?” He walks over and Lan Xichen sees he has no weapon, not even his flute. He came to meet Wangji unarmed, defenseless. With a smile on his face.

    “I’m here to ask for your help. It’s Wangji. He’s ill.”

    Such a good story, and the emotion Stasia brings to the voices is beautiful and heartfelt, it draws me into the story that much more.
