Face your daylight horrors!
(Except acorns, it is totally fine to avoid those whenever possible. Seriously, they bother me.)
I am an emotional and enthusiastic person, so here there will be feelings! Mostly good feelings, but awkwardly expressed. That is just how I do things.
Not the last of the audio fics I think, but the last at least (that I know of) with letters that I did not know before I started these. XD This is the last entry in combination-nc’s Karl Alphabet: Ö Är För Önskan (Ö Is For A Wish). This was also the hardest letter for me to pronounce (I think) hopefully Combo, you’ll think I did okay.
Also, this by far the most sad entry I’ve read so far (though I did know that going in to it) and I’d like to read something much happier next. If there is a next.
Anyway. Enjoy!
Oh, my goodness. First, this is actually the letter you pronounced the most authentically - this is what an Ö sounds like! And then I teared up, so much. I knew what was coming, of course, but it still hit me so hard once you got there. It is so different to actually hear it as opposed to only reading it, and I am so grateful that you let me hear it.
It means so much, too, that you have enjoyed this story, and so much that you wanted to read it, especially since it features Anders. It means so much that this story is still remembered, as well. Thank you. So, so much.
Two in one night! Ä Som I Älska (Ä As In To Love) from combination-nc’s Karl Alphabet. Hopefully I didn’t muss up the pronunciation too badly.
For a moment I was so caught up in your voice that I forgot what was to come, even though I wrote it - it is so completely captivating to hear this read out loud, and it makes me feel so much. I teared up; hearing this is so powerful, so heartbreaking, and I love it and am so, so deeply flattered and so, so delighted.
Another reading of fic. I enjoy doing these, even if it takes me way too many takes to do them. Also, if I haven’t mentioned it, I greatly enjoy Combo’s Karl Alphabet. Enough so, that I’ve done another letter. This time… one I couldn’t pronounce without Combo’s help.
So for her, here’s Å Är För Ånger (Å Is For Regret) from her Karl Alphabet. Hopefully I didn’t muss up the pronunciation too badly.
It is so amazing for me to hear you read this - to hear the feeling put into the words, to hear you manage the Swedish (I am impressed by how you handle the Ä!), and then the fact that you have chosen a story that means so much to me… it is so, so amazing.
A wild voice meme appears! First up: Y is for Yearning from combination-nc’s Karl Alphabet. Maybe one of the only times Anders ever gets a mention here. Enjoy it while you can.
Oh my goodness, oh, oh this is so wonderful to hear. I am so, so glad you picked this one, and the way you read it - oh, it is such a thrill to hear! Thank you so much!
I like to read out loud, so here is another round of the reading Dragon Age things meme! Complete with stumbling over words and reading mistakes because I am apparently unable to fully understand the program Rhi-Rhi Rhiannon recommended :|
It is in my blood to be bad at comprehending written instructions or even reading them properly sometimes, okay. If anyone from my father’s side of the family focus their brains at manuals for too long they turn into stone or something. True story.
Thank you so much, for all the e-hugs and well wishes and thoughts and hopes and comforting words, for me and for my friends. Even if we do not all know each other very well, it truly truly helps to not be alone in fear, and to hear that it is alright to feel, even if there are bad feelings, even though there are worse things in the world. I forget it, sometimes, and become a bit paralysed by the bad thoughts. Thank you for reminding me and reaching out and, and everything, it really means so so very much to me, more than I can say. I am not so good with words right now, and I am overwhelmed with all kinds of feelings (and you all give me good ones, wonderful ones, and your support makes such a difference for me), and I am still scared even though it probably is not dangerous, and I hope that it is not but I cannot help but put a foot on the what if path, but - I am doing my best, and I think that this day is a better one, and I will keep trying to face and overcome fears and, and I am really glad that you are here and now I feel sort of silly emotional, but I really am so very thankful and grateful and everything and, now I almost feel that I should apologise for being a bit of an emotional wreck, but that is kind of how I do things? Lots of feelings everywhere, and being awkward, and kind of embarrassing (but at least my heart is in it, and my heart is filled to the brim with love).
And now I kind of feel like I should bury this post under other, less embarrassing ones. I have been kind of a wreck lately, but I think that I am on my way to pick myself up, and face things a bit better. I keep trying. Thank you for being here, and for helping me with your kind words and feelings. Thank you.

Can I hug you now? Because, OF WOLVES. Thank you.
You two did such a fantastic job with that one, it deserves so incredibly much love. Seriously, it is so wonderful, I cannot praise you enough!

I should add Flight Attendant AU to the prompt generator. :)
Yes, you totally should! :)
And rig it. Rig it so it turns up suspiciously often.
