Ilya, from Wolfbird, one of my favourite Hollanov fics 🥹

I've said it on other platforms (& to anyone who will listen) but it deserves to live here as well.

Wolfbird by OpalApparition (@opal-apparition) on AO3 is the kind of fic that breaks containment and ends up getting picked up by someone important to be reworked outside of the original IP & published. Like legit.

And it would deserve it.

The writing is honestly so fucking stunning and engaging and just beautiful. I'm not usually into AU fics and I rarely fuck with WIPs but this fic is honestly perfection and I'm so excited to one day be able to say that I read it as it came out chapter by chapter on AO3 after it gets picked up and becomes something big.

getting back to back wolfbird and route 96 kanata updates really is just like asking "what if ilya busted his knee?" ...ah yes, I see, he would kill himself. "and what about if shane busted his knee?"...oh? he would kill himself faster. and going yes yes this tracks

Quote from Wolfbird by OpalApparition

“‘Much better. Now I can see all these freckles.’ Rozanov’s thumbs traced up Shane’s sternum, following the scatter there like he was connecting dots only he could see. ‘Ty slovno chto-to, vybroshennoye iz kosmosa spetsial’no dlya menya. Zvyozdy.’”

Design Process: Apogee Cover Art

I read Apogee during a very ~space~ time of life, and was floored by the level of detail in Opal's descriptions of both life on the ISS, as well as the internal/external world of Shane and Ilya's relationship, so wanted to design a minimal cover inspired by this work, which then very quickly turned into a deep dive on all things space design and photography, so I thought I'd also share some of my finds that inspired this design.

This is my first time sharing fandom-related design so I hope you all appreciate 🪐
