Podfic Pals

Today Mia reads (now I realize that the world outside) it's bigger than me (AO3 | Fic Post) by @we_are_the_same It starts with a phone call from Liam. “Lou,” it sounds urgent, the way that Liam gets when he’s worried, and Louis sits up straighter, conditioned to that tone even when he had hated it the first few years in the band. “What’s wrong?” he asks, his brain immediately trying to play catch...

Today Mia reads Finally, You and I (Collide) ( AO3 | Fic Post ) by @lululawrence Funny how Louis could sum up everything he’d had with Zayn so easily. Ex. One syllable, two letters. Fourteen years of friendship and marriage and everything else they had been to each other, put together and explained to anyone who asked with that one tiny word. Ex. Ex-Best Friend. Ex-Lover. Ex-Husband. Ex-everything...

Today Evi reads So It Goes... ( AO3 | Fic Post ) by @thosefookinavacados “I’m going to kill you.” “Go right ahead, love.” [H/L, 30-45 minutes, spies/assassins]

We have another Christmas fic for you! This week Tabby reads I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm ( AO3 | Fic Post ) by @ haloeverlasting . Louis takes a deep breath, and replies very quickly to get it over with, “Well, see, I don’t have any heat in my flat right now and it’s hard enough to go to sleep when I’m bloody freezing—” “Oh god. And my music’s gone and made it even worse,” Harry cuts in....

This week Emmu reads David S Pumpkins ( AO3 | Fic Post ) by @londonfoginacup. Louis has a Halloween party to go to, and the perfect outfit to wear. It's a little odd that people in weird clothes keep appearing and disappearing. Skeleton outfits? A three piece suit covered in pumpkins? Mysterious.

This week Mia reads Trackies ( AO3 | Fic Post ) by @larryyouknow. Louis and Harry are having another anniversary. For Harry, Louis' hints to what he would like to be gifted are very confusing. OR The one where trackies*com isn't the place where you buy tracksuits.

Can I see them now or do we need to wait for me to be on camera?” “You can see them beforehand. We have them in a little playpen,” Louis stepped in, finding his voice somehow. He lost it as soon as Harry looked at him and it made Louis swallow. “That would be...

While on a holiday with his best mate Zayn, Louis meets Harry, who seems to dislike him from the start. It's just his luck he ends up getting stuck on a ski lift with Harry.

We are back for season two! This week, Mia reads I like different places (nobody calls it a sin) ( AO3 | fic post ) by @louandhazaf . Louis' hands shot up in front of him, like it would prove his innocence. “Gem, I swear, it’s not what you think.” He knew what that sounded like, but it was true, even if he couldn’t follow it up with the whole truth of the situation. Gemma was like family to him, b...
