[Podfic] Flowers For Your Heart

Summary:

Author Summary -

What if the Flare was just hanahaki, and nobody had figured it out yet?

When Thomas showed up in the Maze, Newt was already infected with the Flare, thanks to an epidemic caused by a Griever's sting months earlier. Thomas was instantly captivated by Newt's beauty and his strength. Unlike the other Gladers, who were either completely immune to the Flare or died of it within days, Newt was somehow able to survive for a long time in a state of perpetual low-grade misery. When Thomas caught sight of the recently-stung Ben, he saw just how bad the Flare could get. Soon, Thomas and Newt fell in love, and Newt's condition worsened. But if Thomas could be honest with Newt, maybe he could save him - and Ben too, and everyone outside the Maze who was watching the Trials with bated breath, hoping for a miracle.

A couple of notes before we start:
1. I apologise for my probably laughable pronunciation of 'Akumeoi', I have a feeling I butchered it but I couldn't NOT credit the author of this beautiful fic.
2. If you notice multiple changes in the audio quality, no I was not recording this in a cupboard, I recorded this over the course of a day but had to keep stopping for traffic noises/neighbours moving around and turns out multiple times I started up with the mic facing the wrong way so I just had to turn up the volume on those sections as I didn't have it in me to re-record.
3. Yes, I do attempt the accents! If anyone is wondering why I bothered with Newt a fun fact is I'm not English! I'm Welsh, but I put on more of an English accent when I record these as that means I articulate a little better and more people understand SO I felt the need to push that a little more when talking as Newt. For anyone confused because they can't even hear a difference... yeah fair enough.

Now that that's out of the way, please enjoy! I had a great time bringing this story to life and I urge anyone who listens to go send some love the author's way for writing such a brilliant concept.
