despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) [Podfic]

Summary:

Podfic of praximeter's 'despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained)'.

 

“They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.

Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—

“Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”

Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”

Notes:

I don't usually record/post wips, but this story grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go. I'm going to be posting chapters in groups of three, hopefully fairly soon after the fic chapters go up.

Tryin' something new in chapter 18, with little bits of music to signal the time jumps. Hopefully it fits and isn't too distracting!

Also, if you would like the whole fic condensed into one audiobook, ta-da!

(clicking on that link should start the download)
((I have not listened through that, so, you know, hopefully everything's in order and the chapter transitions aren't too weird and jarring with all the different music!))

Notes:

Hey guys,

So... I don't even know what to say here. It's been almost a whole year since I updated this and that.. is not.. how I try to do things. Suffice it to say that real life got really tough for a while there, but I have finally crawled out of it and gotten this finished. Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments you left, even as recently as a few days ago. The fact that people were still enjoying and listening to my work even though I had seemingly abandoned it is what allowed me to finally get my shit together and get this done.
It's such an emotional fic, and recording the end of it really felt like catharsis- finally closing the book on this project and the chapter of my life that I've been in while on hiatus from this podfic.
I'm so happy with the finished product, and so glad that I can finally share it with you guys and give you the wonderful ending Praximeter wrote for them.

Thank you for listening,

-Sparrow
