“There is a young man standing behind him, <…> Staring as if horrified and fascinated and shocked…”

Another illustration inspired by the wonderful fanfic Rapture by Mia_ugly.

“Snape sees the man, for the first time, on his twenty-fifth birthday.”

So I discovered Good Omen podcasts

I tried them before but could not get into them.

First I listened to the slow show one, cos I think I have worn out my kindle reading it so much <3

I also listened to factory settings. ;(

Now I am listening to among the stacks, cos it seems I am some kinda masochist. This is of course sad through most of it. That azi and c are happy cos azi is not azi and human with no memories of himself. So no fears, no hang-ups. They are able to just be them. Also cos not an angel so that fear of being zapped out of existence just for talking let alone loving is not there. That relaxed azi is just a delight. But now listening to this with the finale in the back of my mind it feels sadder than when I first read this. C is able to relax into the relationship without that danger there, he could do this when the danger is gone. So he could have done this if the danger was gone. He did not need a memory wipe/obliterating to be happy. He just needed God, Satan, heaven and hell to just fuck right off. Which is what the humans needed too. Funny that. If only there was a fix to that. If only someone with IMAGINATION could have worked out a fix for it. I dunno maybe a demon with IMAGINATION??? (would be good if some writers had some too, meh).

Fic by @mia-ugly

Back cover art by @luendland

Cover design by me

Rapture by Mia_Ugly was the very first book I ever bound, and also one of my first Snarry fics. This story is also the FIRST and ONLY book EVER to make me cry. (I’m not sure what that says about me tbh.) This was my second edition of Rapture and I will be sending my third to Mia since I now have all the kinks out of my design! 

This book is covered in midnight blue cloth with a moon phase/clock design on the front cover. The front dust jacket art carries over the clock (pocket-watch) motif, which is also visible on the endpapers. For the back cover, I was lucky enough to have permission from @luendland to use this gorgeous color Snarry piece that I thought fit the vibe perfectly! I did not take photos of the typeset this time because I plan to revamp it before my final author’s copy, but I hope to share pictures of it soon!

I've never had a physical book of fanfiction before. It's gorgeous! I'm so glad I bought it.

Slow Show

by mia_ugly ( @mia-ugly )

Summary

In which temptations are accomplished, grand romantic gestures are made, and two ineffable co-stars only take four seasons of an award-winning television program to realize they’re on their own side (at last, at last.)

————————————————

This is a fic I’m sure I don’t need to recommend because surely everyone has read it by now. But if not, what are you waiting for?!??! I tried to hold off until it was finished (I prefer to read through in one sitting usually) but curiosity got the better of me. I didn’t regret it at all! Updates were consistently amazing and the story kept me hooked! I hate when I forget what happened by the time there’s an update, that was definitely not the case with Slow Show. On that note, off to reread it after I finish this post!

Cover image created by me, adapted from stock photos from Good Omens.

I download my favorite fics and upload a custom cover.

(I’ve read too many to keep them straight without something to help trigger my memory!)
