[Podfic] And the centuries surround me with fire

Summary:

(from og fic:)
Maitimo knows he is not in his own bed even before he is fully awake. He is cold, freezing cold, as no elf in Aman could ever be. It doesn’t get cold in blessed Valinórë and yet Maitimo shivers, reaching out for a blanket that is not there. His right forearm hits hard, icy stone. His right hand hits nothing.

In a far too soft bed, under the pure golden light of Laurelin in a Tirion of many years ago, Maedhros opens his eyes. He digs his right hand into the folds of unfamiliar bedsheets, and knows immediately that something is wrong.

---------------

Maitimo in Amon Ereb in a Beleriand that he does not yet know must figure out how to get back to his own body while trying to understand the horror that his future self has become.

Maedhros in an Aman he thought long dead rushes to fix the mistakes that ended up dooming his line and costing him nearly everyone he ever loved.
The thing is, Maedhros might not actually want to get back to his own body in his own time at all...

Notes:

my first real podfic! this has been extremely fun and self indulgent. after being inspired by some amazing other silm podfics like wolffyluna's and allllllllthethings's, i really wanted to try recording something myself. IMMEDIATELY after i read this fic i was like 'yep this is the one!', and i've been having a blast.

i'm editing it lightly in audacity and progressively getting better at it but apologies for any static/breaths lol

credit goes to allllllllthethings for the embedding format!!

Chapter 1: The fire you rubbed left its brand

Notes:

there is a full-length embedding of the whole 3.5 hour fic in chapter 14, right after the final chapter! that format is a bit more road-trip/'i'm doing a bunch of stuff for several hours and don't want to touch my device' friendly lol

(edit: also, as the fic continues, i learned my way around audacity, so if you can stick it out the first couple chapters it’ll get a little less breathy/ambient noisey!)
