Zero's Fic Binding - POSTCARDS
Duology collection of fics by @sineala
This was my pitch to Sineala originally for the Marvel Trumps Hate 2024 winning auction item(s). Since so many of her fics are these huge epic novels, I wanted to gather a few of the 'smaller', short fics together into one bind instead.
I was spoiled for choices - it took the longest to actually pair down the list of fics to include to settle around an relatively equal wordcount for both books.
There are 8 fics in each book, divided by POV.

I didn't wanted to do love letters as a theme. The idea of these little moments from different parts of each of their lives, snippets from different times and different timelines and different cannon - they felt more bite sizes. Coupled with them being the 'shorter' fics that Sine's written, i grabbed onto the postcard with the main idea of the duology. You can't write as much on a post card as you would in a letter - making them more bitesize. But it's the thought - the intent - of sending a post card that i liked. The Thinking of you in this moment of it.The Wish you were here. With me.
The postcard headers were very fun to do. Each is specific to the fic - I did so much unnecessary research for these, it’s not even funny.
I added old vintage stamps to each of these too. It’s what originally inspired the idea for the whole thing. I wanted to try and do something 3D and tactile for each of these headers.
Sineala's collection of fics is vast and abundant. Almost every version of Steve and Tony are contained in these two anthologies. Do yourself a favor, if you haven't had the pleasure of reading any of her quote shorter unquote fics - pick one of these bad boys form the list and enjoy.
I am so thrilled about this pair of anthologies of my shorter fic! I remember spending a lot of time going back and forth figuring out what fic of mine would fit best in which anthology, and POV was a really cool way to split it! I also like that it's not just all 616 and is probably a fair representation of my, uh, range on the angst-fluff spectrum. :D
I am definitely going to have to go through now and look at ALL THE HEADER IMAGES oh no what a terrible fate.
Seriously, this is beautiful; thank you again!
