[Podfic] choke behind a smile
spitemonger
Summary:
"I'm not scared by extreme, although I doubt I'll find it interesting. What is it?"
Valentino's eyes narrow slyly over his smile. "If you aren't scared, why do you need a warning?"Vox has everything under control in his new business partnership with benefits. His emotions, his unfortunate desires, the little mind games they play. Even Valentino himself. When Val offers an invitation to a special show he's performing, Vox knows it's a dare, and knows he has to take it, show Val that he can't be scared or destabilized.
He has no idea of how deep under his skin the show will get.
A podfic of gloriousmonsters’ show-stopping work.
Notes:
- For gloriousmonsters.
- Inspired by choke behind a smile by gloriousmonsters
I’d say “so I hope this will explain my nine months’ long absence” but tbh I recorded this in a day and edited it in a month. It’s a um, other project that’s been taking me a full year to complete.
Words cannot fully describe how much I adore gloriousmonsters’ work, and I very much hope that I have done it justice. This was an absolute dream come true.
This fic is heavy, so I’d encourage you to give the tags another quick skim: particularly, I’d draw your attention towards the fact that this story depicts (alphabetical)
ableist language
cheating/non-consensual non-monogamy
domestic abuse
homophobia (strongly present)
graphic violence
rape (strongly present)
self-harm
suicide
A DDLC-style spoilered description is on my tumblr post.
Music used:
Obviously, Quizás Quizás Quizás performed by Andrea Bocelli and Caroline Campbell from the Live from Portofino recording
“Strip Club” from the HuniePop 2: Double Date Soundtrack, composed by Jonathan Wandag (which I was about to link you to a youtube upload, but 100% of them are all SiIva Gunner mashups. Or pretending to be so.)
“Aishite ita no ni” (instrumental) and “Namida” by Maretu
