[Podfic] wading in waist-high water

Summary:

Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.

or,

Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”

Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Notes:

Thank you colgatebluemintygel for your amazing fic and for the kind permission for me to play around with it.

This is my first ever podfic and - as you'll be able to tell very quickly - I am not a native English speaker, so this has been a fun and exciting challenge.

I'll be posting chapter by chapter as I am able to finish them. Your constructive feedback and kind words are very welcome.
