[Podfic] "The Honeysuckle and the Bindweed" by SeriousMoonlightDance

Summary:

This is a very silly gentlebeard meet cute where Ed and Stede are plants. It's inspired by the song “Misalliance” by Flanders and Swan, as I've always loved the whimsy of it, but it's got a happier ending than the tragic lovers in the song, I promise!

Here's the original song- their dialogue before and afterwards are recommended if you like silly humour!

“The fragrant honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun
And many other creepers do the same
But some climb anti-clockwise, the bindweed does, for one
Or convolvulus, to give her proper name
Rooted on either side a door, one of each species grew
And raced towards the window-ledge above
Each corkscrewed to the lintel in the only way it knew
Where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled, and fell in love
Said the right-handed honeysuckle to the left-handed bindweed
Oh, let us get married, if our parents don't mind
We'd be loving and inseparable, inextricably entwined
We'd live happily ever after, said the honeysuckle to the bindweed”
Misalliance by Flanders and Swann
