Earthseed

Hollanov; 21,651 words; Explicit

What happens when Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander—sole survivors of the human race—wind up bumping into each other in space? Lots of fucking, bickering, and coming up with ridiculous ways to compete with each other. So, same as any other timeline.

READ IT ON AO3

You guys, I set out to write a max 10k one-shot and it snowballed into Earthseed, a 22k space novella about two lonely, competitive boys carrying the fate of the human race on their shoulders. 

If you’ve been following along on this deep space journey, thank you, thank you, thank you! Your comments and encouragement mean the world to me.

I definitely feel like I’ve unlocked a new genre with this one. Expect more sci-fi stories from me in the future! 

I’m sure my betas/cheer readers are sick of the tags by now, but I’m eternally grateful to everyone who helped me usher this baby into the world, including but not limited to: allure, hoko, plor, sammi, smug, sits, mally, amelia, poppy.

Special shout out to the wonderfully talented Chaos and Codices who allowed me to use her Hollanov art for the series art.

Bound: Fantastic Flip Fuck with Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy! by @hoko-onchi-writes

Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame

Draco fucks Harry. Harry fucks Draco. They are porn stars. That's it.

Made this cutie little quarto for Hoko featuring stripey endpapers and HTV cocks.

All this time spent learning Affinity really paid off on this one 😂

Book cloth is Verona. Endpages are Chiyogami from The Paper Place.

Bound: i know where to draw the line by @magneticwave

I hope you've read this magnificent AU by magneticwave, but just in case you haven't -- this is a delightful what-if fic that explores a world where Shane was born three years earlier and Ilya, three years later. The result is a (slight) age difference fic that gives us an older, more world-weary Shane falling for a younger, more vulnerable Ilya. It's a pure delight, and the moment I finished reading it, I knew I wanted to bind it.

As you can see, I went pretty simple on this one! I had the vision of something graphical and clean and slightly evocative of an informational pamphlet from the 1960s. I picked up the cloth (Iris) just last week in Amsterdam, but I had to get a new 12 x 24 mat for my Cricut, hilariously, just to properly cut these two simple lines long enough to wrap around the cover. I hadn't tried this technique before but it went fairly smoothly.

Featuring my first double-core endbands (please don't zoom in), a rounded and backed little text block, and chiyogami endpapers.

The typeset is simple and clean, letting the story be the most important thing.

With thanks to @magneticwave for permission to bind, and to @phoenixortheflame for feedback and encouragement.

Hearth - Anonymous Explicit, A/B/O, Medieval AU, BAMF Consort! Shane kicks a coup's ass while King! Ilya's smug as hell. Then Shane makes it Ilya's problem. Don't worry it's fantatically written.

Hi Internet!! I made a thing!!!!

Bound: Slap Shots: A Hollanov Bind-This-In-Your-Style Shinny

📑 Typeset by the marvellous @citrusses and @phoenixortheflame

🖼️ Art/photo edits by the HR royal wallpaper maker @frenchnbookish

🪡 Bound by me! @froidefille

🎁 Gifted to my first IRL AO3 friend @ollliecat. I’m so glad we’re in this madness together 🥹

The biggest thank you, I love you, good job to shinny mods and participants and of course to the writers whose works we could bind 🤍 taking part in this together brought me so much joy!! Talk shop and process pictures under the cut 🤓

Okay so!!!! When designing this bind I listened to The Role Model and The Long Game mostly so it is mostly Ilya coded. I envisioned the blend color scheme of Boston Raiders (black+yellow) and Ottawa Centaurs (black+red). Hence velvet black cover material (don’t do this to yourselves, it somehow collected all the dust from my apartment in like 30 minutes), maroon endpapers and straw yellow ribbon.

For endpapers I also added some quotes from the show and the boys’ numbers and initials (notice H for Hollander is next to R for Rozanov which also makes HR for Heated Rivalry 🤓)

Shoutout to @shelfawarepodcast you can hear in the background, go give those ladies a listen, I love their talks so much!!

I also made my very first dust jacket!! Took an Uber across the city to have it printed and have been thinking about buying A3 printer ever since 🙃 made in Canva of course. I really miss Photoshop in times like these but alas, subscriptions.

Front and back covers as well as this post’s header were made using photo edits by @frenchnbookish. Do yourself a favour and check out her edits, they are honestly hilarious on top of being just SO.PRETTY. I gotta admit if not for this shinny, I would still figure out a way to make this particular edit a book cover because it totally absolutely 100% should be. Connor is somehow perfect Ilya here and Hudson is miraculously Shane-like 😅

Sewn using french stitch, glued spine then added endpapers. I managed to forget how to impose but @citrusses had my back 💛

Okay, I think that’s it! I’m sure I’ll think of something to add later on but oh well. I’ve only been writing this post in my head for a month so 😅

[plor-bindery]

Bound: Slap Shots

My first fanbind for 2026! And it's March! Agh!

Like so many of you, I've been busy consuming/being consumed by the Heated Rivalry fandom explosion. But now I have something to show for it, other than several fics... a bind!

This bind uses the typeset created by @citrusses and @phoenixortheflame as part of their Slap Shots BTIYS Shinny. This gorgeous typeset features 21 fics from 13 Hollanov authors (including the typesetters themselves, and yours truly). You can find all the fics in the anthology here. Except mine, because I had those permissions turned off, whoops. The two included are here and here.

Cit and Phoenix also gave participants an extremely generous deadline which I missed by... over two weeks? Three? Who's counting!

Anyway, here it is at last!

The big feature here, other than that sweet typeset, is obviously the incredible art of @cloudabserk, who generously gave me permission to use his work. I adore his art, which is delightfully playful and emotional and sweet and funny. In fact, I couldn't make up my mind on what to use, which is why I wound up making a dust jacket to fit in a few more amazing bits.

Features of the bind:

hand-sewn silk French faux double core end bands

speckled edge decoration

handmade (by me!) marbled end papers

printed HTV and plain for the cover decoration

dust jacket printed on glossy photo paper and laminated with 1.5 mil soft-touch laminate

Some shots of the dust jacket because I can't get enough. (In fact, stay tuned for a possible paperback version just because I want more of this design in my life/on my shelves.)

Big thanks to Cit and Phoenix for organizing this! And again, thanks to cloudabserk for letting me pilfer his amazing art.

Fan Binding of Alphabet Soup by @phoenixortheflame made as a gift for the author

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55321351/chapters/143868358?view_adult=true

This was a collaborative project between @sits-bound and myself. We knew we wanted to create something special for Phoenix, one of our dearest friends. Pam created this incredible typeset. The stag plays an important role, so we did lean into this theme throughout the typeset and physical binding. The story also features Harry as a journalist, so each chapter header is designed like a newspaper!

The dust jacket features art by the incredible @amomorii and depicts Draco and Harry entering Le Cerf from the muggle world and wizarding world, respectively. If you wanna know why they enter that way, and why the restaurant has two entrances, you need to read the story! We chose to put the title on the spine only because we didn’t want to cover all of the amazing details that the artist included.

The case is a split board case which allows the bind to open beautifully. DAS shows how to make this case on his YOUTUBE channel. The physical cover was made using mudbath duo cloth, a two tone cloth that I LOVE. We kept the design simple because the dust jacket art is really the shining star here. End pages were marbled by Maleeka.

Pam and Maleeka believe that one amazing part of fandom is the gift giving philosophy and we were honored to make this copy for the author. Keep fandom free and be kind, always.

[sits-bound]

This was such a fun collaboration and I’m so lucky to have my typeset bound but such a talented binder. Mally’s attention to detail is unmatched. Her endbands HER ENDBANDS and the marbled paper she made, it’s all exquisite. Sam’s art is, as usual, gorgeous and perfect and unbelievably detailed and beautiful.

Thanks to our lovely friend @phoenixortheflame for inspiring us to create this for you!

[phoenixortheflame]

I am still picking my jaw off the floor.

This masterpiece???? For me?????????

I cannot describe how beautiful this book is in person. The photos are gorgeous, AND YET they do not do it justice. It opens BEAUTIFULLY. Every single detail is so perfectly coordinated and executed. Every piece of material perfectly chosen.

And the typeset??!!! There were so many different ways you could have gone with this, and you chose the best one IMO. The chapter heads are so clever and eye-pleasing!! All the fonts, the section breaks!!!

So much love and thought and energy went into this bind. It’s so evident.

Bury me with this book, for real.

ILY BOTH IMMENSELY.

[phoenixortheflame]

Honorary book 69 (actually book 70) ✅ is a hollanov anthology bind event run by @phoenixortheflame and citrusses!! All of the included fics are free to read on ao3. This was such a fun event to participate in 🥹 this bind has a fully paper cover designed in silhouette studio based on the original heated rivalry cartoon cover with layered leather paper and shiny paper (both from Hollanders), hand foiled title down the spine, and woven hand sewn endbands, the top in Boston colors and the bottom in Montreal colors. A joy to create!!

Ex Parte by @smugrobotics: BOUND!

Ex Parte by @smugrobotics

Sometimes, family is two deranged ex-boyfriends and the sentient magical house caught in the middle.

Literally could not be more grateful that Smug WON THIS RAFFLE (the raffle was supporting trans charities in the UK in the Drarry Pit Discord server #santaiscoming25 - see more here!)

Smug wrote this fic for @hd-erised 2025 as a gift for ME so it was an uno reverse situation where I got TWO INCREDIBLE PRESENTS: a gift from Smug & a chance to bind her a fic as I absolutely adore her writing. Smug is so talented - she writes the best work-in-progress, semi-fucked-up but still meant for each other Drarry. Neither Draco nor Harry is anywhere close to 'self-actualized' and that's exactly how I like 'em. I tried to capture the spiky domesticity rough draft vibe using William Morris draft patterns throughout the bind (as well as his typefaces!). The draft pattern for 'dove & rose' was used in the chapter title page & the cover, while the 'wreath' draft pattern was used for the title page (above!)

I also learned a couple new skills in this bind: foil quill on the Silhouette and FOILED EDGES. Foiled edges are still a work in progress for me, but I ADORE the effect and am so happy to have learned them (thank you to @duran-binding for her incredible tutorials and holding my hand through all the troubleshooting.) Putting the same foiled edge photo TWICE because I'm so proud.

Thank you thank you thank you for @garagepaperback @faiell and @eleadore for hosting this incredible event <3 and Smug for participating & donating <3

One last photo!
