[Podfic] the strength to let it show
RattleandHum (ThirdEye1234)
Summary:
So, the thing is, Steve likes Eddie.
As in, he kind of wants to date him. And to kiss him. And to be his boyfriend.
But, he also doesn’t want to tell him that. Not in so many words, anyways. Those have never been Steve’s strong suit, words. He always messes them up. Never picks the right ones, always ends up sticking his foot in his mouth. The thought of sitting Eddie down and making some big… confession is mildly (extraordinarily) terrifying. Big speeches and grand declarations usually are — don’t let the romcoms and the chick flicks fool you. They’re never as easy as they look.
He doesn’t not want to tell Eddie, though, either. So it’s… well, it’s a tricky situation.
Until Robin, brilliant brainy genius Robin, suggests that instead of telling him, he should just show him instead. That way Steve can avoid the dramatic deliverances and still get his point across, just in a way that’s comfortable for him. On his own time. At his own pace. He can gradually show his hand, can drop hint after hint until Eddie gets it (and Robin is confident that he will in no time at all).
So Steve does.

Hi my name is RattleandHum and it's been one month since my last Steddie pod. Glad to be back!
I thought this was a lovely companion piece to my other pod by this author. Steve gets to freak out this time! Turn about is fair play and all that.
Also, I'm sorry if you've already seen this news, but it's a big deal to me: I'm now doing audiobooks professionally! And no, I am not going to stop podficcing anytime soon. These are still my favourite stories to read, and full creative license is a helluva drug. But yeah, now I can do this as a job I truly love and I'm just thrilled about it. If you're at all interested in following my pro work, you can read about it on my profile or Tumblr.
In other selfish news, this is (roughly) my two year podfic-aversary! I've been reading fanfic and posting it on ao3 for two years now and loved every minute of it.
But back to the subject at hand: more of these two idiots! 😍
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
