  1. Summary

    For those of us who, for whatever reason, prefer audio to visual stories. Be you a migraine sufferer, blind/low-vision, or just want to listen to somethihg as you clean, podfics have got you covered.

    I hope my readings are emotive, evocative, and remain true to the core of the stories they portray. I was an actor in a past life, and can’t resist the allure of having my favourite stories voice acted instead of read by a tinny computer voice. Until I can figure out editing non-visually, these are simply Cold Reads [i.e. read without editing, usually without practicing/having seen the text in a while, but it’s all fluid].

    I endeavour to include the author notes, as well—to make as much of the original fic accessible as possible, despite how inaccessible ao3 is. Which is also why I have GoogleDrive and Archive.org [https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Sirenby%22] accounts, where everything is cross-posted, and sometimes posted ahead of time.

    Stories-wise, we have one-shots; we have long WIPs; we have a variety of fandoms. Want to suggest a fic? Drop me a comment and I’ll see if it’s in my wheelhouse.

    Summary

    Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt understood Colin pretty well. He didn't want to be a spokesperson - he just didn't want to have to hide. They'd hoped any attention from that big kiss after their final match last season would have died down by the start of the season. Keeley could have told them it wouldn't.

    Jamie, Roy, and AFC Richmond figure their way through the press being assholes about Colin

    (listed as part of a series but is really a standalone)

    Summary

    Once there were dragons, but that was long ago.
    Now only swords remain, and the ambitions of those who wield them.

     

    After the mysterious passing of King James, Ser Roy Kent is tasked with bringing the heir to the throne back home. He would personally rather throw himself off a cliff than spend a minute in the same city as Prince Jamie of House Tartt, but here we are. A quest is a quest. A knight is a knight, and a prince is a king in the making. If only he wasn't a fucking idiot.

    or

    The fantasy AU very few people asked for but still deserved to be written. Swords and Dragons and Crowns, oh my!

    Summary

    Apollo's always been a little nervous in groups, and moreso a group like this—women ready to conquer the club. They way their heads swivel as one when some bit of banter misfires and lands with a thud. The perfect matching lipstick, red as blood. Traveling in packs, even to the bathroom, skin-tight jeans and fashion straight out of magazines. Athena looks at ease, alpha among them, stunning as any of them, but Apollo’s always been more of a stray.

    ***

    Athena and Simon decide they'd like a third.
