  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

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’m about to spit something corrosive. It’s welling up dangerously: an insult about Grace’s body or his intelligence or his dependence on me, a weapon that will fend him off for hours, days, weeks more. We have three more years to go on our journey home and if I keep it up I could make the damage permanent. I could be alone whenever I want.

    Rocky finally has time to experience the aftershocks of all his trauma. Vivid and beautifully real.

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    (or, snapshots of the fourteen days that Rocky and Grace spent making the chain in orbit around Adrian)

    Come to find out there’s actually a lot of background knowledge needed in order for an Eridian to understand how Doordash works.

    Summary

    Living on a spaceship with an alien that exclusively speaks in song can really recontextualize karaoke for a guy.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He was remembering more of himself every day. It was okay that he wasn't ever going to see a sunrise again, or another human, or Cats the musical. Those were all completely normal and fine and equally unimportant things.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    It’s hard to stay cynical in the face of Clark Kent and his relentless optimism. Looking at him there, still in his button up shirt from his business trip, sleeves rolled up, still focused even though it’s pushing midnight, she feels a warm, steady wave of fondness in her chest.

    She wishes they could do this every night. Not the pulling a furious all-nighter right after someone tried to murder her – that part she could take or leave. But it would be nice to spend every evening with Clark. She’d always told herself she liked her space, but being with Clark was like having space and having company rolled into one.

    Her highly caffeinated, sleep-deprived brain catches up with the implications of that thought process, and she thinks, shit.

    After years of pining after an alien demi-god who is, much as she hates to admit it, miles out of her league, Lois realises she's caught feelings for her co-worker. Unsure whether or not to tell him, she seeks advice from the most sensitive guy she knows - Superman. Things don't go as she expected...
