ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Manacled: "If he is a monster, then I am his creator."
Happy Birthday Harry Potter! The Boy Who Lived! Yay. OK.
Now, DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOY?!
ACOFAE tackles it's first fan-fiction episode and Jessica Marie's first Dramione fanfic. Laura Marie pulled no punches and started her off with Manacled. Only the best and arguably most traumatizing for all involved. Harry Potter is dead. Hermione has ministry secrets buried inside her brain and only a magical pregnancy can unlock them. Enter the High Reeve, over 20 chapters of flashbacks, and a story that will break you when it ends and destroy you when you reread. Join ACOFAE as they cry, rage, and gasp in disbelief at a story that will become more real than the canon if you let it. This episode is a long one but Dramione deserves no less.
“What did you think was the source of all his rage?”

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 009: Our established friend, Sam, and Sayonara Wild Hearts.
ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast a special guest and our known and well-established friend, Sam! Editor Sam works behind-the-scenes each week to make sure the podcast is the best that it can be, but this week he is center-stage and ready to talk about something near and dear to his heart: Sayonara Wild Hearts. Described as a "pop album video game," Sam takes us through a journey that is as beautiful visually as it is emotionally, and as challenging mentally as it is physically (must tap button fast!). Sam edits music into our conversations to really show how impactful something can be and how a stunning message about self empowerment and the journey through grief can be found in the most unexpected places. Oh, and Queen Latifah is in the game too. We did say it's unexpected!

129. The River of Silver: "Don't let others make you feel small."
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The River of Silver: "Don't let others make you feel small."
Here at ACOFAE there are a couple sayings, one of them being "if the author writes it, you should read it." It's with that in mind that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves back in Daevabad with Nahri, Ali, and almost every other main and beloved character from the trilogy. Told in anthology form, each story gives a different perspective and at times a different voice to a situation or character that we are already familiar with from the trilogy, creating a story that is both new and familiar. Told chronologically and with spoiler warnings and timestamps, The River of Silver leaves us with endings beyond the trilogy and one in particular that absolutely breaks Laura Marie.
TW / CW: self-harm/suicide, sexual assualt, human trafficking, alcoholism/alcohol dependency

Spoilers: The Daevabad Trilogy
Mentions: Moulin Rouge, Throne of Glass, Shadowhunters, Supernatural
