Notes:

Content warning: This chapter contains a scene with bullying, and a mention of a homophobic slur.

Thank you so much for all the kudos and subscriptions! I'm used to playing around in comparatively smaller fandoms, so I'm very amazed/thrilled(/flaily) that my first podfic of a really (really really) popular story in a much larger fandom is getting such a nice reception so far!

Chapter 4: Chapter Three

Notes:

Firstly: After some waffling, I've decided to change the way I pronounce Musichetta's name, and it now has a k sound. Apologies if anyone finds this jarring! Previous recordings have already been edited to reflect this change.

Secondly: I am truly amazed and humbled at the exceedingly nice things people have said to me about this podfic, both here and on my tumblr. All of you are amazing, and thank you so much for listening. You make all this effort completely worth it. ♥

Thirdly: Thanks for patiently waiting for this installment. The dialogue was really challenging, and it was slow going because I wanted to get it right. I hope you find it worth the wait!

This is the most gloriously awkward thing I have ever recorded. :D

Apologies and many thanks for your patience for the long wait! The last scene of this chapter is one of my favorites in the entire story, and I wanted to make sure it came out right. (...ahahahaha, pun actually not intended, but good job, self, good job.)

Notes:

Longest chapter in the story, done! I feel like I can do anything now. :D I estimated about two hours, but it ended up being an hour and forty-five minutes which... is still a lot!

The next few chapters are shorter, so hopefully it will not take a month to get each of those out. Thanks ever so much for your patience, wonderful listeners. I treasure all of you and your lovely comments and subscriptions! ♥

Notes:

This chapter was already going to be a challenge, since humor is an area I feel I need to work on, but I'd forgotten there was singing and to be honest, those 25 seconds gave me a lot more anxiety than the 35 minutes of bathroom shenanigans.

Chapter 8: Chapter Seven

Notes:

Content warning:: Mentions of homophobic bullying, and a homophobic slur.

It has been quite a month. However, after some stubborn perseverance through serious voice-attacking allergies and a few dips in motivation, I finally bring you this chapter.

Usually covers are a bit of slapdash photoshop tomfoolery, but this time I wanted something great, so I commissioned the amazing AtypicalOwl, wonderful friend and beta-listener extraordinaire. As you can see, the result is incredibly beautiful. Check out the full-size version here (you'll want to click on the image to see it bigger) and just feast your eyes on every gorgeous detail.

Chapter 10: Chapter Nine

Notes:

Content warning: this chapter contains descriptions of what can be interpreted as a panic attack. Also, on-screen drug use. And general emotional distress. (Whose distress? Well. Grantaire's. Enjolras's. Yours. Mine.)

Many thanks to the lovely AtypicalOwl for, well, everything, but especially with the cover art and helping me keep it from being too nightmarishly soulless. (It's just nightmarishly soulless enough. ;D)

Hugs are offered to anyone who wants them! Also, *points to the next chapter button* because look double update because I didn't want to leave anyone hanging? I know I have a few listeners who are experiencing this story for the first time, and I remember the wait for the next chapter being agonizing, and that was just two weeks! So yeah, a gift from me to you: waiting forever for this chapter, but getting the next immediately. :D Love you all! ♥

Important note: This is part of a double update! If you haven't heard Chapter Nine yet, please go back one chapter and listen to that first!

Notes:

Thank you all so much for waiting patiently, and I hope the double update was worth it! I meant to have this chapter finished much sooner, but then I had to move and yeah, that stole away a lot of recording/editing time. Also, I got a new mic and sort of learned how to use it in the process of recording this chapter. Yay! :D

Once again, thanks to the lovely AtypicalOwl for actually digging out your ancient phone for this cover. You are such a treasure. ♥

I LIVE! This chapter really really really did not want to get made. However, through issues both technical and motivational, I powered through, and here we are finally. Thanks always for your patience, lovely listeners.

Special thanks to whychat as ever for being incredibly supportive, especially AtypicalOwl who did their damndest to figure out why exactly that one audacity project kept trying to kill my laptop. (I was not kidding about the technical issues.)

Also thanks to Sovin and dracoxlovesxharry for much-needed encouragement. ♥
