It’s been quite a while since I contributed anything to AO3, but after receiving some kudos and comments on a podfic I recorded some years ago, decided I wanted to go back and (finally!) record the third part of an incredible series set in the Deep Dish Nine AU.
“Complementing Baggage” comes after “Disconnect”and“Splice” in the “Rewiring” series (link to storiesandpodfics) and like those two, packs a powerful emotional punch. (If you’re a fan of “The Wire,” this series is required reading, even if you’ve never delved into the AU.)
I have so far posted 2 chapters of the story’s 16 (original fic is 36K words) and will post another soon. I will be adding chapters every few days.
TW: mention (no explicit details) of past childhood abuse.

P.S. Thank you VERY much to @tinsnip@kittyknowsthingsand@ladyyatexel for allowing me to recorded and of course for their amazing writing. This series is honestly one of the most powerful DS9 fics I know of.
About 8 months after I started, I have finally finished my chapter-by-chapter recording of “Complementing Baggage.” The final two chapters (15 & 16) are now uploaded and I’ve also put together a Zip file with all 16 chapters (4 hrs. audio total). So, if you have been waiting on an update or if you want to start from the beginning of this or of the whole “Rewiring” series, here you go:
As hard as it is for me to believe, I have finally recorded more chapters of this epic podfic! Chapter 13 & 14 are now here. Just two more to go –– and those are the cathartic ones with the real pay-off. So, if you have been waiting on an update or if you want to start from the beginning of this or of the whole “Rewiring” series, here you go:
I’m finally in the home stretch on this! Length so far: 3 hours. And this is the -third- part of this series I’ve recorded. I think the whole thing together must be about 10 hours. You could do a road trip with me, Garak, Julian a whole lot of angst.
Anyway, this latest chapter is lonnnng! It basically consists of two major scenes, each a chapter’s worth, and a shorter one at the end. My favorite part about doing this chapter was voicing Miles. I do his voice in a way that it sounds like him without doing an Irish accent. I’ve apparently got “gruff” down.
After a gap of a couple of weeks, I’ve gone back to recording this amazing Garashir Deep Dish Nine AU story. Ch. 8 is extremely short while Ch. 9 is about three chapters long. Enjoy!
