  1. Summary

    Podfics of the works within The Squad Goes Intergalactic Series by ForsythiaRising (and one related work by Fuhadeza). My goal is to podfic them all eventually, but it's going to take some time.

    Each story can be listened to independent of the others, as the stories are stand-alones, but I encourage you to check them all out because they are all gems.

    Summary

    "Okay," I say, turning to Xenk, "We jump."

    He just stares at me. I mean obviously he's thinking it's the worst idea he's ever heard, which is fair, but—

    "Come on, it's brilliant, they'll never follow us. Would you make a jump like that if you didn't have to?" I pause. "This is the part where you say: I have to and I'm not gonna."

    "To say such a thing would be quite illogical in our current situation," he says, very calmly.

    "It's from— it's from a story! It's a quote from a thing. Never mind."

    Gorgeous and haunting; captures a mood that's often in the corners of the show but that I've never seen foregrounded like this.

    Summary

    An oval the size of his palm, the stone was worn smooth and flat by time like sea-glass. Dark veins grew like narrow tree-trunks through the green crystal, bordered by what looked almost like petrified wood. It was strange to find such a thing in Aglarond, where the gems were different. It looked almost like the Forest of Fangorn--the stone shone with a marvellous iridescent sheen, and it looked to be the pale sun in the afternoon filtering through the leaves.

    He realised, all of a sudden, that there was some sort of hollow ache behind his sternum.

    This is unfinished, but you can read it as a simple diptych of scenes and it's really lovely that way.

    Summary

    Medric and Emil were walking back from town when the vision caught up with him. Some visions arrived only once, but occasionally the same one would follow him about for days, sneaking the same scene into the edges of his mind.

    The narrative structure of this story is lovely, as is the depth and insight of the relationships in it.
