Het Podfic Rec

[twasadark]

Several of you were so thrilled that I posted a het podfic last time that I just had to let you know about the wonderful I listened to today.  First, a couple of shockers:  The fandom is James Bond, and the pairing is Bond/M.  I am NOT particularly fond of the Bond movies, unlike other family members.  They seem all the same to me, plus Bond is a little too smooth for my tastes.  But I decided to give it a shot since the story is by astolat .  She's one of my absolute favorite authors, but I've only ever read her slash, which is alternately hilarious and hot and touching. I was a big leary about the pairing as well because Judi Dench is fine but imagining her getting it on with someone?  Um.  Not my favorite passtime.  Anyhow, I needn't have been worried.  It's such a wonderful story and yes there's sex but it's not explicit.  It's beautifully read by FayJay, who has a lovely British accent.  There's even music before and after the story that is mixed in quite skillfully.  In short, GO LISTEN. 

Queen of Spades by astolat , read by FayJay
Excerpt: “"If you're trying to seduce me, you're doing a damned poor job of it," she said. "If you're trying to impress me, all the worse." Then she'd packed him off to Kyrgyzstan.

FayJay just posted a bunch of podfic over at audiofic if you haven't seen them, in a variety of fandoms including Supernatural, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pushing Daisies, Slings and Arrows, Jeeves & Wooster, and Doctor Who.  I imagine that they will all be excellently done. 

PS - I changed my header AGAIN, because I just couldn't resist this Dean shot by raloria .  GUH.
