Happy birthday, Ande! I wish you many good things today and in the year to come. *hugs you tight*

I hope you like this! I even did stealthy research (via Aka) to see if you were a fan of crossdressing. : )

Title: Volcanic Geranium

Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: 2 h 21 m 36 s
Author's summary: Fraser raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Lipstick colour names can be rather obscure. I assume it's a metaphor to describe something fragile and lovely but also dangerous and potentially capable of raining hot destruction upon an unsuspecting citizenry. On the other hand, it may refer to the fact that this particular coral shade is common to molten lava and geraniums. Don't lick it."

"It tastes like Jujubes," Ray reported.

"Nevertheless, resist the urge."

Notes: Oof, this one was a challenge. The very thing I love about this story--the comedy and the snappy dialogue--was what made it hard to record. I don't think I've ever done so many retakes. Still, it's fun to stretch yourself and try something new. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

OMG OMG OMG!!! :D I'm about halfway through listening to this now and just popping by to say how much I love this. You have an amazing voice and I love the way you read this. It doesn't seem like something I wrote - it seems like something real, if that makes sense. You nailed a lot of the things that I was hearing in my head, like the way Diefenbaker says, "Dude." And Amy's defiant childishness. And probably more stuff that will come up in the second half. :)

Thanks, also, for smoothing over all the typos.

Eeeeee, thank you! I was kind of insecure about this podfic given how much of a struggle it was to record (seriously, retakes all the time). But maybe that's not a good indicator of how the podfic turned out.

I actually loved doing Amy's dialogue! It was so much fun trying for that rebellious spoiled teenager tone. Stella arguing with Ray was also a lot of fun--it felt very natural, because Ray really is being stalkery and she must be so tired of it.

I've totally felt like that when I've heard other people reading my stories, too!
