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.

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!

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

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
