[Podfic] A Comprehensive Menu of Blackbeard's Craft Cocktails by Oak1985
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
05 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
Stede's a middle-aged businessman going through a divorce, and he desperately needs a drink. He ends up at Blackbeard's: a charming little bar (that's technically not a gay bar but kind of is a gay bar) with nautical décor, classic rock, excellent cocktails, and a very pretty bartender who wears crop tops and leather.
Soon Stede becomes a regular, and obviously he just likes going there because the cocktails are great.
Definitely no other reason.
[podfic version of the_bedheaded_league's fic; 1 hour and 22 minutes long.]

Summary
After all, Ed reasons, if Stede wanted to sleep in the same bed with him again, he would have asked, wouldn’t he have—
Not that Ed asked, but— Stede isn’t like Ed. Right? He would’ve asked.
—Right?
“Maybe,” Stede continues, while Ed’s mind is spinning, “I can’t sleep because I got very, very used to sleeping with another person in here with me, and it’s not so easy without them, anymore.”
Ah, Ed thinks, before he says out loud, “Ah,” where it comes out significantly more strangled-sounding.
[Podfic version of ShowMeAHero's "somewhere to begin." 40 minutes long.]

Fandoms: Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)

Summary
"This is why she doesn’t like to think about those months with Helen. Jessica likes labels, likes tidiness and boxes and knowing where everything belongs. She can’t make the months with Helen belong anywhere, can’t make herself belong with Helen and then with Josh, can’t think of those months with Helen as an aberration or her love for Josh as self-denial and if she thinks about it too hard, about how right it felt with Helen and how right it is with Josh, she starts to think she doesn’t belong. Anywhere."

where the hell is my husband? by justhockey
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
03 Jan 2026

Summary
“Yuna, David - my husband just said he doesn’t love me anymore.”
“I did not say that,” Shane argues, when he notes the disbelieving expressions on his parents’ faces. “I said we can’t get another dog.”
“Exactly,” Ilya wails, throwing his arms up in the air. “Is same thing!”
(Or, 5 times Ilya calls Shane his husband, and 1 time Shane calls Ilya his husband.)

the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose by alchemystique

Summary
There hadn’t been a whole lot of tape, back then, not on a bunch of kids who were likely to get chewed up and spit out by the KHL, but Rozanov was a special case – his agent had clearly known his aim was for North American leagues, and there’d been a few tapes leaked here and there of the fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old phenom who had more trick plays up his sleeve than Yuna, personally, thought was true hockey. The video of his spin on the Michigan had made the rounds in David’s McGill email chain, and Yuna had tipped her chin up and sworn up and down he’d be a one-trick pony who’d be flat on his ass the first time he tried that shit in the pros.
Shane had downloaded the video to his desktop and studied the tape like he did old games of Scott Hunter.
---
Yuna Hollander works through years of memories in attempt to discover when she should have known her son didn't trust her with all of himself.

it's too close for comfort by theoneiam2277

Summary
The doorbell rings just as Shane is finishing brushing his teeth – the first thing they rose to do, because he wants to kiss Ilya good morning – and he and Ilya exchange a confused look in the bathroom mirror. It's barely dawn, and Ilya's curls are adorably tousled from sleep as he scratches his ribs lazily, toothbrush dangling from the corner of his mouth.
Shane hesitates, then rinses his toothpaste out and runs a hand through his hair. "Fuck, it's probably anti-doping."
No one else would be here at this hour – unless it's an emergency.

Summary
“Fucking look at this shit,” Hayden pulls a rectangular object from the box, pointing it in Shane’s direction so he can clearly see the picture on the cover of the PlayStation game in his hands.
And now Shane is absolutely having some sort of panic-and-pheromone-induced fever dream, because why the fuck is he looking at Ilya Rozanov’s face, scowling at him right then and there in front of God, the Boston seaport that’s visible outside the hotel window, and his best friend Hayden Pike?!
“Whoever these fans are, they aren’t ones of yours,” Hayden sighs as if he’s actually disappointed in this mystery gift-giver.
“I - I don’t think I’ve seen this one,” Shane stammers out, his eyes still pinned on Ilya’s form in 4k HD photo relief grasped in Hayden’s fingertips - fingertips that Shane is suddenly, unreasonably, and very concerningly jealous of.
***
or - how Shane ended up owning that video game with Ilya's face on the cover, and what it meant to him over the years.
