[PODFIC] there is thunder in our hearts

A podfic of the story "there is thunder in our hearts" by taizi. Original summary reads:
He’s not close enough. He’s not going to make it. Even if he managed to shake off the soldiers in front of him and just threw his whole body at full-speed between Luffy and Akainu to take the blow, he wouldn’t get there fast enough. He doesn’t have enough time. He’s going to lose another brother, only this time it’s going to happen right in front of his eyes, from seven—five—three feet away.
He’s ten years old again and learning what grief is. He’s ten years old and all that’s left of Sabo is the letter in his hand and a shared dream and the promise that Ace will look after their silly baby brother while he’s gone.
“DON’T TOUCH HIM!” Ace screams. It’s pure desperation. It’s the last human thing he’ll ever say if Luffy dies here.

Just saying, "has dark eyes and tattoos and kind of an air of walking tragedy" is my favorite description of Trafalgar Law that I've ever read.

Ordinarily, I would say "The End" just to wrap up the recording, but I thought it would be funnier to just cut off after "the transmission ends."

i regularly come back to listen to this every few months and every single time i think that the way you read the line “he’s ten years old again and learning what grief is” has the delivery of spoken word poetry and makes my breath catch in my chest

This is such a great podfic. Thank you for putting this out into the world. Although it made me cry my eyes out and took two days to mentally come back from. This is fucking amazing.

AUGH I absolutely loved loved LOVED listening to this!!!!!! SKDHDKDHSJDHSKCHSKXHSKXBSKDHSK the way you read the fic was so so good!!!!! akshskshskshsk there were several parts I just had to delisted to a couple times while reading cause it was so fun to listen to (like when Ace was cursing at the marines in the first chapter)!!!!!! skdhskdxjdhksjskshs oh man I think I felt the full spectrum of emotions listening to this fic!!!!!! I love the way you read Ace’s panic at Luffy falling unconscious and singular focus on getting him somewhere safe and not knowing where to go until Law’s ship popped up (the way you read his small “I don’t know what to do” really made how young he is to be in such a horrible situation hit rly hard), Sabo’s sleep-deprived annoyance at the chaos giving way to curiosity giving way to the horrifying realization of who Ace is to him and the situation his brother is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Akshskshsksjssksk I loved listening to this fic, thank you so much for recording it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this so much, but is there a way that I can download it? I tried downloading the whole thing, but it turns out it doesn’t really work because it won’t let me listen to it. It just downloads the text. Because I really do wanna download it and keep it just in case anything happens to the site or anything like that

  oh gosh, I'm so honored you like it enough to want to keep it! If you follow the link under the streaming player, the one that says "(or click here if your browser doesn't support HTML 5)," you should be able to download the track as an mp3 from there. thank you!

    Thank you so much!!!! I literally just saw the comment and I’m gonna go do that real quick and thank you for the help. I honestly didn’t know I was doing. I’m pretty new to downloading fic and stuff like that. And sorry for any grammar or anything like that I kind of suck with that. Edit- it didn’t work or I’m just doing it wrong

      Are you on a Mac or PC? If PC, you should just be able to right-click and “save as.”

        Hey it’s been a while since we’ve last talked. Sorry for contacting you again, but I want to ask you a question. Since I finally figured out how to add a cover art to an MP3 file as a consequence of that, I am planning on drawing cover art for this podfic and I was wondering if you would like to also use it too since I’m already planning on drawing it and using it for my own purposes
        Edit - and lm planning on doing the “ we speak with the sky” one too
