So, leish recorded Falcon and a Dove (go listen to it!) and I fell in love with it. I then spent a fair amount of time going through sophinisba 's masterpost and wanting to record lots of things. This is the result.

OH I LOVE YOU not that I didn't before BUT STILL. I am especially excited to listen to falcon and a dove because of reasons but YAY ALL OF THESE.

[croissantkatie]

I hope you enjoy them!

Also I LOVE YOU TOO.

(And your icon! <3)

Yay, I am really happy that you did this! Did you know that I also recorded My Best Kept Secret last year? Funny thing, since I was so nervous when I first posted the fic (and I guess that's also true of Her Balm and If I Cannot Be Your Queen, eep, you know how to pick' em). Looking forward to listening to these!!

[croissantkatie]

I didn't know! Gosh, I'm going to go download that. I just loved the way that story didn't seem dark at first, but then got progressively more so. They were just all ones which struck me in various ways. I hope you enjoy listening to them!

[sophinisba]

So it took me a while to listen to all of these because I get sort of emotional about them, but I enjoyed them all so much! I really liked the range of how you read them, between the bitterness of the Morgana/Morgause and the sweetness of Freya in the last one. I do think my favorite of these is If I Cannot Be Your Queen because damn, she is so desperate and hurting so much. D: Thank you again, this post makes me feel like such a star. :D

[croissantkatie]

Thank you so much! I had such a brilliant time recording all of them and I'm thrilled that you liked If I Cannot Be Your Queen in particular because I'd hoped that I'd got the desperation across but I wasn't entirely sure. :D
