Dreamsweepers is a Morgana/Morgause podfic by afterandalasia (2:19:22 (so far)). It is a podfic of the fanfic of the same name, written by fitz_y.
Summary: The same year Morgana Pendragon was born to an experimental test subject in the labs at Camelot Pharmaceuticals, the company invented a drug that cuts Cerebral Hyperactivity Disorder (CHAD) in half, rendering so-called sorcerers (sufferers of CHAD) incapable of practicing "magic" and therefore no longer default enemies of the United States. Instead, they are patients. At 23 years old, Morgana and two other illegally unmedicated CHAD sufferers carried out an unsuccessful attempt on the life of Camelot's CEO, Uther Pendragon. Now, ten years later, Morgana's magic stays locked under her skin, a dull itching reminder of the mistakes she once made. Every night she sleeps through prophetic dreams. Every morning she vomits them out as the drugs coursing through her blood scour any lingering memories from her REM cycles. She visits the hospital, her parole officer, and the club where she tends bar. She injects herself with the required barrage of medicines. She keeps her head down and snarls at anyone who approaches with a curious, "Aren't you the Pendragon girl, the one from the trial?" She is done with dreaming. Until Morgause walks back into her life, pursuing her, whispering in her ear. Until the story begins again.
This podfic that was originally recorded for the paperlegends community. Only chapters 1-4 are posted, with a note from afterandalasia saying "Due to technical difficulties, it is proving difficult to upload the later parts of the recording. They will be added as my computer decides to behave itself!"[1]
Recs and Reviews
- This is a dystopian contemporary AU in which magical people have been medicalized and criminalized. As the story unfolds we learn how Morgana ended up living an isolated life that centers around her parole officer and the hospital, and then Morgause intervenes to suggest a rebellion against the government. Afterandalasia reads in a smooth, matter of fact way that reflects Morgana's tension and lets the quiet horror of the story unfold. This is a WIP and at the moment only the first three chapters have been recorded, so keep watching for updates![2]
