Pod_Together Spotlight: An Offer You Can Never Refuse

An Offer You Can Never Refuse (SPN RPF) written by [archiveofourown.org profile] akintay and performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] applegeuse and [archiveofourown.org profile] fishpatrol | 7233 words | 0:49:13

Summary:

Jared is a damn good thief – smart and rational, if a bit cocky. With Jensen at his side, he's even better.


This fanwork alternates between the past and the present, and the performers alternate sections, which is a wonderful way to aurally differentiate the timelines. The fanwork borrows from one of my favorite tropes, jewel/art thieves, a classic since Cary Grant charmed Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief.

The fanwork tells the story of how Jensen and Jared meet, steal from the rich, and eventually, steal each other's hearts. As one does. :D

The writing is sweet and hot, and [archiveofourown.org profile] applegeuse's and [archiveofourown.org profile] fishpatrol's performances are lovely. One of the things I liked was how unique each voice was, how each performer had a different style and pacing. And in spite of the differences, [archiveofourown.org profile] applegeuse and [archiveofourown.org profile] fishpatrol managed to weave the story together into a cohesive whole.

The editing was excellent in this fanwork; the sound levels were consistent between performers and their voices were crisp and clear which complimented the writing. Their enjoyment of the story comes through loud and clear and adds so much passion to the fanwork.

Even if you aren't in the SPN RPF fandom, this is still an excellent fanwork to experience. Go check it out, and remember to leave feedback for the creators - they worked hard on creating this project.
