Title: The quiet of a rented house also in a podfic read by leemarchais
Word Count: 4500
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (implied past Draco/Blaise)
Summary: Every day, Draco takes a walk in Ham Hill Park.
A PG-13??? Well, I do read these sometime, you know, when they're good. The lovely mood in the fic draws you into Draco's evening stroll, the quiet life he has carved out for himself, a loner in an existence with no sound. Through his evening walk you find out the backstory of his illness and his history with Harry. Again, it's one of those pieces that create a whole world in a few thousand words.

Rating: R
Warnings: Implied minor character death.
Summary: Draco, the Deaf son of a wealthy businessman, has always had the best of everything, including a habit for rapid signing and a reputation for having a short fuse. When his father disappears, the interpreters who have been on the receiving end of Draco's attitude and temper refuse to work for him. Enter Harry, our 'new on the block' interpreter with a heart of gold, exemplary skills, and a few secrets in his pocket.
While I'm not usually into non-wizarding AU's, I really enjoyed this. I first heard it as a podfic recorded by takola, it is a good, well paced love story that happens to feature my favourite characters. Reccing both written and spoken fic here, however, I urge you to to try the podfic. takola has a wonderful lilt to her voice that really adds atmosphere to the story.
And that, my friends, is really it from me for October. Cheers.
