[Podfic] the northbound train
xinilia
Summary:
"You sappy bastard." Nobara flicks his forehead, and Megumi hisses, swatting her hand away. "Why are you even here, huh? Why haven't you gotten on a train already?"
"I'm waiting," Megumi snipes back. The duh, idiot is implied, because he really thought she would've expected this. After all, no one would be surprised at him staying for Yuuji, even if it takes another few hundred years. But...
...But Nobara's smile drops, and Megumi's heart drops with it.
(Or: it takes a long time to deliver news to the dead.)
Podfic of the northbound train by katerpillar.
Notes:
My first podfic ever! Thank you so much to katerpillar for allowing podfics <3
Reader's notes (SPOILERS): I really admire the way that katerpillar expands on the ideas of canon in ways that feel both natural and exciting. This fic really hit me hard simply because of how authentic it feels to the characters- like, of course Megumi would wait for Yuuji. Of course he would. And of course he would choose the northbound train if it meant he'd be able to see him again, no matter how far away in the future their meeting may be. Totally awesome.
Favorite quote: "It's not that Yuuji doesn't love him enough to come find him again. Megumi knows that, as always, the issue is more that Yuuji doesn't love himself enough to allow that luxury. Selfless to the point of stupidity."
Stay tuned for more podfics from me!
