[podfic] The Evolution of the Heart
UglyBeautiful, Winfiha
Summary:
“I don’t listen to gossip.” Lan Wangji said, firmly.
“Wangji.” His brother scolded. Lan Wangji felt the bite of his disapproval slice through his resolve.
“If I go -.” Wangji struggled to formulate the words. “It will be harder to argue -. If I don’t speak to him I don’t have to consider his proposition.”
Lan Xichen let go of his wrist, frowning. He smoothed his trousers. “Wangji.” He told him. “I know you think the world of your - plants -.” He waved his hand at Wangji, seemingly unable to complete a coherent sentence.
“Mn.” Wangji said.
“But this man has some very - novel ideas about the animal kingdom. People are - excited.”
Wangji didn’t like the way Xichen emphasised ‘excited’. It made him feel - not excited. Annoyed. Frustrated that no one seemed to understand the value of persistent, dedicated, detailed study rather than ‘exciting’ and preposterous theories. Also, it infuriated him that everyone considered animals to be so much more exciting than plants. In terms of diversity the former was barely a patch on the latter. “His theories are ridiculous.” Was what he told his brother. “I am not strategic.” Lan Wangji told him.
Xichen smiled. “But I am. And I am your brother.”
Notes:
- For Radiencia.
- Inspired by The evolution of the heart by Radiencia, UglyBeautiful
I had so much fun recording You Deserve to be Loved that I had to launch into another podfic straight away. Also written by the resplendent UglyBeautiful and voiced by me, Winfiha. Who DOESN'T love repressed victoriana and a LOT of puns and innuendo? Not me, certainly.
