podfic_bingo

The theme challenge for this month is Lessons (Please include the tag challenge: lessons when you post.) Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'lessons' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.

The shape challenge is ‘line 4' (tag challenge: line 4). This should be 4 squares, ie:

OOXOO
OOXOO
OOXOO
OOXOO
OOOOO

Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period.

You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.

If you complete a challenge, you earn a cheat. If none of the challenges appeal to you, you can also earn cheats by commenting on other people's podfics.

What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily. There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares. Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card. Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.

still i'm pinned under the weight (of what i believed would keep me safe) (Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), Marvel Cinematic Universe)
written by

shadoweddepths, performed by

Freekyflob
Summary: “I’m glad you’ve been letting me help you,” Bob continues as if he’s completely unaware of the effect he’s having on John. “Everyone deserves comfort and safety, and that includes you.”
It’s a nice sentiment, but John is – his heart is fucking slamming against the cage of his ribs, loud enough that he’s certain Bob can hear it. His mouth has gone horribly dry, and he – fuck, he can’t stop thinking about what it would feel like to fall asleep next to Bob. To feel the steady warmth of him as John drifted off to sleep. To wake up beside him and get to see his face the moment John opened his eyes. It’s – he’s –
The words are on the tip of his tongue. You could stay. And John shouldn’t want that, shouldn’t want any of it, but he – he does. And he’s tired of pretending that he doesn’t. Tired of shoving his feelings aside and denying them.

The MADMAX Report - Text Only [text, audio] (Stranger Things (TV 2016))
written by

neuronary, performed by

rosepods
Summary:
MAX: Okay, Hawkins! You all know the drill by now: get as many able people tuned in as possible, just in case of any emergencies. If you're out on a patrol, you should be checking in with your nearest Cerebro operator — [muffled protest from ROBIN] — sor-ree, radio tower operator every half-hour with your co-ordinates and status. The frequency is six point one seven five. Again that is six point one seven five. My less fun co-hosts would like me to remind everyone that this frequency has been generously allocated to us for emergency use only by the fairy godmothers on high, so don't fuck around on there.
Now, let's pick up the pace with some music that won't make you want to hang yourself! You all know this next track isn't my absolute favourite, but it's definitely a close second. Hit it, Katie!
[Hounds of Love by Kate Bush starts playing]
Hawkins' second favourite post-apocalyptic radio host has a boyfriend. She finds a way to make it everyone else's problem.

Stiles, can you scan with your spark to see if there are scars of lightning and waves, in different locations on his body? The lightning is near his heart, and the waves are near the ribs.” John replied.
Stiles used his spark as blue stars started covering the omega’s bodies and glowed over the scars.

Cinnamongirl
Summary: Aziraphale was adamant about committing Crowley to his memory, more than he already had, of course. Because, as some might know (some were, in this case, his other best friend Maggie and by extension her girlfriend Nina, which was kind of Crowley's other best friend, anyway), Anthony J. Crowley was not just Aziraphale's best friend for— ages. He was also his very hopeless, very charismatic, very wonderful secret little crush.
Little, of course, meant absolutely huge and horrific.
But Aziraphale had lived with those feelings for his best friend for years now; he could handle that.
Normally, he could.
Crowley going to space was, on the other hand, very not normal. The fulfilment of all his dreams — yes. And Aziraphale couldn't be more happy for him, but, no, not normal.

Summary: Dear diary,
It has become relatively rare that I write in here. There are so many things that are a lot safer in my head than they would be written down. I hate it. Writing these three words I probably sound like Mark. But someone has to say it, don’t they? And I’m not sure anyone in my life still safely can, with everything happening out there. So there, I’ll write it again: I hate it.
I mostly hate my brother’s old commander right now. He’s gone again, but he was here. I don’t know if he expected forgiveness from me, or something else. I’m just glad I don’t know where he went next, after showing up here unannounced and making me lie to my colleagues, my headmistress and above all my students.
Mark is not dead, at least that. But he got captured. He’s in some kind of camp. No idea if he’ll be released.
…
