The Secre Language of Plants by Endrina/@llendrinall

The Meaning of Mistletoe

The Meaning of Dandelions

The Meaning of Geranium

Floriography

It's funny to think that The Secret Language of Plants is one of my favourite fanfics and if it weren't for some coincidences I probably would never have read it. I'd just finished Secrets, which has Severus/Remus as a side paring and I got curious about this ship (it was a couple I'd never thought about) so I went looking for more; In the Severus/Remus tag I found The Meaning of Mistletoe, that have an interesting summary and it was short 😅 so decided to give it a try; I really enjoyed! And it ends with a plot twist!

Was when I went to the series page – 373k intimidated me a little 🙈 especially after finishing reading a very long fic, I almost added part 2 to my infinite Mark for Later list but I decided to give it a try. And I definitely didn't regret it! It was a spectacular fic!!! Has everything and more – romance, comedy, mystery, angst and my many many many tears. 🤧🥲

There's poetry in Endrina's writing style, it's so eloquent and gorgeous, the foreshadowing, the transition between povs, the characterization of each character, the redemption arches (Narcissa's mainly), the plot twists, Harry's magic... SO GOOD!! 🤯

If you need one more reason to read this fic: it made me LOVE Percy, Percy The Worst!

All bookcloth were made with the same grey paper and each part has a colour (green, yellow, pink and blue) that match the flowers pattern's endpaper and the line. The sewing is a mixture between coptic and belgium binding.

Deconversion by Lomonaaeren!

Between all Lomonaaeren's works, Deconversion is one of my favourites and such an intriguing fic. Deconversion has a unique plot line and an interesting side of the dark arts; I enjoy the balance between light and dark magic in this fic, they don't need to be excluding one or another, with some effort there's something in the middle. The deeper narrative in Harry's Parseltongue abilities is another great plot. In resume: Harry is having some problems with Parseltongue and Draco shows up to help then things happen.

Design, binding by me. The cover is dark green leather, the endpapers are purple paper. I use the kettle stitch, with a purple sewing thread too.

My first ficbinding attempt; Everything That Happens is From Now On by @thusspoketrish /trishjames

Everything That Happens is From Now On is one of the most wonderfully written fics I've ever read. The way how the author narrates Draco's pain then his surviving/healing, and all the things that happen between; make me feel devastated and extremely connect with the story. This is a huge recommend that you give it a try. Please, don't forget to read the Author's tags/notes.

Typeset, design and binding by me. I was very inspirited by @queercore-curriculum's astonishing work and the countless resources by @renegadepublishing
