out_thereBecause iamtheenemey asked, so I figure I might as well mention these three favourite podfics of mine. (I'll link to Jinjurly's site because that also has links to the written stories if you prefer your fic not-read-aloud. *g*)
Like a Girl Changes Clothes bytwentysomething - Kurt/Blaine genderswap (so, actually, Liesl/Blair. If you stop to think about the Kurt-Sound of Music-Liesl reference, you'll realise how awesome this story will be.)
It turns out that cute high school girls in love tickle my fancy as much as cute high school boys in love. The real trick to a genderswap is to keep the characters identifiable but also believable in their new genders. It's a tricky line to walk, but this story does it wonderfully. Liesl is sarcastic and outgoing and determined to be herself; Blair is gorgeous and seems to have everything together, except for the way that she's really a huge Katy-Perry loving doofus beneath it all. There are so many touches to this story that work so well, and it's really worth the listen.
We Are All a Little Weird, and Life's a Little Weird by - Kurt/Blaine - first time phone sex.
My first recommendation for this one would be listen to it when you're lying alone in bed, about to fall asleep. It's hot and delightful and a touch awkward and earnestly in love, and did I mention hot? Because it is. Phone-sex is hard to write in a way that feels hot, and it's even harder to read in a way that sounds believable and gets your pulse to speed up, so big kudos to this author/writer.
(It also dovetails quite nicely into how I personally see Kurt and Blaine proceeding sexually, but YMMV.)
Good Night, Sweet Prince byflamingmuse - Kurt/Blaine, more gen than anything else, but a really cute moment.
This is only a 5 minute long snippet, but it's adorable. I love Blaine's overwrought ridiculousness (and need for caffeine), and it's just... sweet. And cute. And read with such warmth. Sometimes, that's all I need.
