luzula: a Luzula pilosa, or hairy wood-rush (Default)
I got two delightful gifts for Yuletide! : D

The first (my actual gift) is Engraved on our Hearts, a Leopold Dilg/Michael Lightcap/Nora Shelley fic for the 1942 movie The Talk of the Town, where Leopold and Nora team up to woo Michael with legal arguments. Awww.

The second (a treat) is On That One Spot of Earth, a lovely Flight of the Heron story where Keith and Ewen grow old together. It is ridiculously tailored to me, up to the inclusion of bryophytes, and I am pretty sure I know who wrote it. : )

Have a Librivox audiobook! : D Obviously what I actually wanted to do is Flight of the Heron, but that only comes out of copyright in 2021, so here is Flemington instead. I apologize for my lack of a Scottish accent; what I did instead was to tone the Scots dialogue down as much as possible and not attempt any accent beyond my own. Thanks to [personal profile] garonne for beta-listening. ♥

There were three folk songs in the book that I set to music in order to sing them. I think they're actually all from Violet Jacob's poetry collection Songs of Angus, but I couldn't find any melody for them online. You can listen to the songs separately here, if you want.

Also, it amused me to post the audiobook on AO3. If a podfic is a transformative work of a fic, then surely an audiobook is a transformative work of the canon. Hee, it also meant I could label the canon with pairings if I wanted. *g*

Summary:

Archie Flemington, a spy in Government service during the 1745 Jacobite rising, is sent to investigate the suspected rebel James Logie. Despite the secrets and enmities between them, the two men form a lasting connection. But when the war comes to its bitter end, and they are forced to choose between honouring that connection, and their military duty, what will they do?

This is an audiobook of the canon (a very slashy book from 1911).
