phantomtomatoIt’s been a quiet week for me as I plug away on my current Tom Riddle/Edmund Pevensie project, but what should happen this morning except that I’m given a gift based on my first crack at the pairing!
[podfic] Routines by Phantomato byjocundasykes
T-rated, ~2 hours
I wrote the original Routines about two years ago now, at the tail end of 2021, hot off of making a rec list for Tom Riddle crossover stories and having just written my first. Tom and Edmund as two evacuated children during the second world war was a natural direction to take the ship, and I fell in love with them together as I let their summers play out, seeing how their affinity grew as they each experienced their separate magical adventures. I adore looking at the mundane worlds in portal fantasies. I was so happy for their mundane worlds to intersect. Routines is the story which brings me the most comfort on reread; their friendship is just that reassuring.
I’d heard from JocundaSykes about the possibility of recording something months ago, but had sort of forgotten about it since. What a delightful surprise to get the notification! She’s extremely well-known in HP slash fandom for recording professional and beautiful podfic, including some truly impressive projects taking on six-figure stories. Routines might not be that long, but it’s still 17k! I am so honored for it to have been chosen. There’s nothing quite like hearing “Pevensie” in her accent. It’s well worth a listen for the reading quality alone.
This does mean I have to stop making tiny phrasing edits when I reread. Aaah!

Tom Riddle doesn’t get sent back to Wool’s once wartime panic starts up—he’s sensibly remanded into the custody of a volunteer with a house in the country, like all London children.
A series of summers in his friendship with Edmund Pevensie, or, the story where Tom Riddle gets a partly-decent childhood.
