Audiobook of "Flemington" + a couple of songs from it

[luzula]

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 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*

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).

Wahey, delighted to see this going up—and folk songs set to music as well, lovely :D

[luzula]

It's satisfying to have it posted! And getting to set folk songs to music was a fun bonus.

I'm thrilled to be able to download this.

I'm realistic enough to know there will always be insomnia, and nothing is as soothing as your lovely voice narrating an unfamiliar story.

[luzula]

If I can contribute to helping you sleep, that is a worthy cause. : )

Thank youuuuu, bookmarked for later!

[luzula]

Hope you enjoy! You can see how D K Broster read this and got the idea for Flight of the Heron: yes, this, but the characters need to meet more times...

I really hope she and Violet Jacob met some time and fangirled together. : )

I love that you have added relationship tags to this on AO3 :D

[luzula]

Hee, I could not resist. : D
