Title: the aftermath of war 1/ fanfic.net//ao3 // dw
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s)/Characters: Narcissa Black / Lucius Malfoy, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy
Word Count/ Art Medium: 2958
Warnings (if any): none, unless you count an angry young Bill.

Disclaimer: I own nothing and make no monitory profit. All I have are my OCs and my ideas and a lot of effort. JK's world is just a sandpit I make castles in.

Summary: "Weasleys!"

"Children, Lucius. Imagine if something happened to us? Custody of Draco would automatically go to Andromeda and that Muggleborn husband of hers. Ed or Ted or something."

A strange sound erupts from his throat and his eyes bulge but Narcissa knows that she has his attention. He pours more red wine into his wine glass and not as much into his wife's showing his growing anxiety over the matter.

"Children are not responsible for their parent's actions. They need a home, my love, and I won't have anyone thinking we won't give them one. Merlin, I won't leave them on the street regardless! We always wanted more."

"One!", Lucius snaps, "Perhaps two more. But seven. Just because we have space does not mean that we can cope."

Summary: She asked the Doctor once about visiting her younger self and he'd given her a two hour lecture about time and paradoxes and theories about time stability. She hadn't understood all the maths he'd scrawled on the blackboard, but she'd followed enough of it to work out that meeting her previous self was a Very Bad Idea.

This was done in one quick take, so, you know. This is also the first time I've used Boson to record and edit a podfic, so let me know if there's something wonky with the file or if I missed a key edit in the recording.

2019 Podfic Big Bang Chill Edition

Hey all! It is getting time to think about Podfic Big Bang again. And think your mods have done. I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news first, despite how flush with excitement and ideas we were during/after last year’s Podfic Big Bang round (not that we implemented most of them, and had some stumbles with those we did), Real Life has come down on both of your mods hard. We want to be transparent with you, to let you know why things are different this year. This Big Bang means a lot to both of us and we want everyone to have a good experience. We wouldn’t be able to fulfill that if we tried to follow the regular template. Neither of us felt good about letting Podfic Big Bang lie fallow for a year either.

So Instead we are going to try something new.

Welcome to Podfic Big Bang 2019: Chill Edition! Details are below.

( How this is going to work )

( Art and Artists! )

( Betas and Cheerleaders! )

That’s about all we have for now. An Opening Check In Post and the Art Post will go up on June 1st.

Thank you all so much for your patience. We have all these great ideas for Podfic Big Bang and are both passionate about long podfic. We hope to have regular (and maybe even improved) Podfic Big Bang and Epic Podfic Big Bang back next year. (Unless everyone likes this better! Then we’ll take a good look at this and see what we can tweak to make even better and roll with that.)

( Schedule )
