#a lesson in thorns

[sundae-meringue]

Hi everypony, I made a thing. It's a podfic of chapter 1 of A Lesson In Thorns by @arkastadt. I plan to record the entire fic eventually but it's gonna take a long time so bear with me. This fic was absolutely breathtaking and I'm so happy that the author gave me permission to record it. Hopefully the audio quality doesn't suck too much.

BECKET HESS 🚪

❝ Father Becket is at peace until he dreams. And then the zeal opens its pitiless mouth and chews him with eager, champing teeth. He’s terrified that the zeal waits for him in the chapel ruins. And when he dreams—dreaming of the summer he came here in college, alone and with the zeal blazing so hot inside him that he couldn’t even think—he dreams of being in the thorn chapel. He dreams of standing in front of the altar and feeling like a pillar of fire because he was so consumed with a desire to know his god.

And when he wakes up, he wakes up with his skin burning against the air, like he’s aflame with righteous hunger once again. ❞

Convivificat.

It’s Latin, and I don’t speak Latin, but the benefit of being a librarian at a university is that I know many people who do. Within an hour of firing off an email, I had a translation.

It quickens.

It quickens.

I didn’t know what that meant. I still don’t.

I mean, I know what the word quicken conveys in the dictionary sense; I whispered its synonyms as I went about my business that evening, as if that would help me understand.

It stirs, it awakens, it comes to life . . .

But that wasn't what happened. What happened was they drove to Harry's and parked the Camaro next to an Audi and a Lexus and Gansey ordered flavors of gelato until the table wouldn't hold anymore and Ronan convinced the staff to turn the overhead speakers up and Blue laughed for the first time at something Gansey said and they were loud and triumphant and kings of Henrietta, because they'd found the ley line and because it was starting, it was starting.

Admitting to being a Disney adult on a public platform... the bravery.

B: But it's like one of those multi-industry companies that needs to do charity campaigns to distract from the big corporate wheeling and dealing that they do. KRISTEN: *fake coughs* Disney. LAETY: Great. Yeah, pretty much. B: *laughs* you said it, not me! KRISTEN: Well I can hate on Disney because I'm a Disney adult!
