seldom all they seem & half cloak & half dagger as part of Marriage Principles by @fahye / fahye

typeset entirely in Alegreya

38,101 words | 230 pages

this fic has been a comfort read for me, i love the very entrenched POVs that is a signature of fahye's works, and wanted to do a bind that was just as classy as i find her fics to be. somehow you find a way to make my heart ache when i read all of your fics, fahye, and i fall for it every time. it's amazing. i hope you enjoy having this gift copy <3

the art used within is from various pieces of art by Shitao, sourced from The Met. i was pleasantly surprised with how they printed, as recently @celestial-sphere-press has figured out how to wrangle previous printer drivers to get nicer printing from a mac. DOWN WITH AIRPRINT!

please read these fics if you have any inclination, this is my wholehearted recommendation!

In my excitement for A Power Unbound, I've been relistening to A Restless Truth and remembering how much I love this book, ahhhhhh.

Fanbinding: Anthem for a Doomed Youth by @fahye

When she was younger she watched people carefully in order to become them, but it was like memorising a song in another language: the imitation was perfect but she never bothered to learn what it meant.

I started this about a year and a half ago when I was first experimenting with leather bindings: I didn't like it, so I stuck both copies (with equally bad bindings) in a drawer for a while before finally cutting the bad covers off a few weeks ago.

I made the one at the top first (which I sent to the author): I was planning on duplicating it exactly for the second one, but there were some flaws in the second piece of leather I wanted to cover up, and I didn't have any more good edge on that first blue. So! They get to be mirrors of each other instead. (I think I like the lighter blue better, but prefer the author name on the right side of the cover.)

Sanding under the paper onlays was significantly more complicated than I thought it would be, since I had to make sure I wasn't sanding the leather where it would show in the holes for the leathers. I ended up putting the letters down in removable vinyl and sanding around them, but getting it all to align right was very stressful. 0/10 I'm sure I will do it again because I do like how that came out. er

It’s been raining for the past half hour. From the strange colours of the lightning in the distance, and the fact that this storm shouldered its way aggressively into an otherwise spotless sky, Otabek assumes he is being slowly drenched by Victor’s feelings on Yuuri Katsuki’s continued polite refusal to be carried off to a life full of leisure and being fucked in a bower of petals and honey.

Otabek does not appreciate the side effects of Victor’s current obsession (chp. 1)

“I don’t mess with the fae,” Otabek says.

“I’m not asking you to mess with them,” JJ flat-out lies.

Fanbinding: Single Use Weapon, by @fahye

I actually made these months and months ago, but I had to keep a lid on it because one of them was a christmas present for my sister @soupwife ! (you will note christmas was a while ago. well, I was too lazy to make the post until now! these things happen.) I made three copies - one for me, one for my sister, and one for the author. This was my second or third attempt at fanbinding (depending how you count - I did The Starless Road alongside this one, so it's tough to say which one was first). I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! In particular, this was my first attempt at printing a title on the spine, which in this case I achieved by running the bookcloth through a regular inkjet printer. It's not a method that would work for every book, but I think on this one it looks pretty slick!

"Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals. "Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!" "What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

Fic rec! PERFECT tone and voice, absolutely delightful plot, just what I wanted to read after finishing OFMD.
