Fanbinding: The Pen is Mightier by shamelesscooper
Mobei-Jun realizes with increasing clarity that he wants to serve Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua does NOT pick up on it.
Another meet-up bind, as a gift to @rhipidurafan! "The Pen is Mightier" is a Scum Villian moshang fanfic that reverses some of the power dynamics. I got some help from a friend since I'm less well read for this particular ship, but I found the fic very cute.
I decided to test fate a bit on this bind by rounding and backing an A6-sized book that was only 190-ish pages, whoops. But success favored me!
I also gave my first go at polished graphite edges, which I think turned out very well! This book has the graphite on a three sides, including the rounded fore edge. Endpapers are from Renato Crepaldi, which I also used to do the marbled paper inlay on the pen for the cover. (This was also my first time doing an inlay with this particular method, rather than doing a full cutout).
