Podfic Pals

We are staying in the Halloween spirit with Spinning Out Waiting for You by @daggerandrose (AO3 | Fic Post), read by Emmu.

Harry Styles is a year and a half away from graduating with a masters in potions and he has one huge milestone to reach in his academy career: the Matching Ceremony.

From Halloween night until graduation, matched witches and familiars will have to create a talisman to be a physical representation of their bond. One for the witch and one for the familiar. Most pairings last an entire lifetime.

If only it were that simple.

It is almost Halloween! To get into the spirit, Anitra reads five ficlets that were all submitted to the @1dtrickortreatfest.

First up is Exposed by @jacaranda-bloom (AO3 | Fic Post)

Louis should really stop agreeing to do favours for his friends while drunk, especially when they result in him becoming a live-art model…

Next, at 5:21 into the episode, is even when you're lost by @uhoh-but-yeah-alright (AO3 | Fic Post)

Halloween is the one night a year witches who’ve passed on to the next realm can return. Harry has no reason to know that.

All he knows is he misses Louis and he fucking hates Halloween.

At 10:38 into the episode you can listen to head all full of stuffin' by Lhhome (AO3)

“I don’t!”

That’s what Louis had said on live television a little over a month ago when asked whether he thinks scarecrows are sentient creatures. He is severely regretting that right at this moment.

You can listen to Ghost Ship by @beelou (AO3) from 15:03 into the episode.

Louis goes ghost hunting on his own the night before Halloween. It might not be his best idea.

And finally, from 19:41 into the episode you can listen to Foreshadowing by @neondiamond (AO3 | Fic Post)

Alone at home on a rainy Friday night, Harry reads a story that resembles his own life a bit too closely…

This week Emmu reads David S Pumpkins (AO3 | Fic Post) by @londonfoginacup.

Louis has a Halloween party to go to, and the perfect outfit to wear.

Mysterious.

This week Mia reads Trackies (AO3 | Fic Post) by @larryyouknow.

Louis and Harry are having another anniversary. For Harry, Louis' hints to what he would like to be gifted are very confusing.

OR The one where trackies*com isn't the place where you buy tracksuits.

This week Mia reads you are the magic in me (AO3 | Fic Post) by @beardyboyzx.

Zayn is eight when he meets the Prince for the first time.

His dad is being knighted — the King has seen the way he fought to defend his village from the enemies of the Kingdom and has decided to gift him a piece of land and a title.

This week Emmu reads Harry Styles Plays with Kittens While Answering Questions (AO3 | Fic Post) by @sadaveniren.

“Are those the kittens? Can I see them now or do we need to wait for me to be on camera?”

“You can see them beforehand. We have them in a little playpen,” Louis stepped in, finding his voice somehow.

He lost it as soon as Harry looked at him and it made Louis swallow. “That would be great yeah. Louis, right?”

Louis nodded and took Harry’s hand to shake it. His ears ducked just a bit, because he was so nervous and he knew he shouldn’t be. There was nothing truly different about Harry than any of the other celebrities Louis had met with, but then there was one hundred percent a difference. Harry was a cat hybrid like Louis and that… that meant a lot. For Louis personally.

aka Louis runs a Youtube channel and Harry is his celebrity guest

This week Mia reads like air to me (AO3 | Fic Post) by @uhoh-but-yeah-alright (yeah_alright on AO3).

Five times Louis’ smoke break brings back memories of Zayn and one time it brings him back to Zayn’s doorstep.

This week Evi reads Soft Wings (AO3 | Fic Post) by @kingsofeverything

Harry is a Dolly Parton fan who wants to get a tattoo in tribute to her. Louis is the tattoo artist.

This week Mia reads All I Know is I'm in Trouble ('cause the atmosphere's so cold) (AO3 | Fic Post) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (we_are_the_same on AO3).

While on a holiday with his best mate Zayn, Louis meets Harry, who seems to dislike him from the start. It's just his luck he ends up getting stuck on a ski lift with Harry. Except maybe the universe knows better and he really is lucky.

We are back for season two!

This week, Mia reads I like different places (nobody calls it a sin) (AO3 | fic post) by @louandhazaf.

Louis' hands shot up in front of him, like it would prove his innocence. “Gem, I swear, it’s not what you think.” He knew what that sounded like, but it was true, even if he couldn’t follow it up with the whole truth of the situation. Gemma was like family to him, but she was Harry’s actual family, and the rage in her eyes broke Louis’ heart. That after everything they’d been through, Gemma thought he was capable of going behind Harry’s back.
