Unfortunately I have much better pictures with Dorothea and Idike in this beautiful group.

By The Still Waters by orphan_account

2025 was my first year as a @renegadeguild member and it was also the first year I took part in the annual Renegade Bindery gift exchange! This exchange is where we typeset and handbind a book as a gift for other members of the discord. Now all the pictures and typesets have been released, and now that my giftee (@kolutshanpress) has received the book I am able to share!

By The Still Waters is a really lovely Fenris/Hawke Dragon Age: Inquisition fic, I bound this fic blind and I had a blast doing so. I ended up making three copies of the fic, one for my giftee, one for my sister-in-law (who helped with the dragon age vibes as I knew nothing), and one for me because I loved the story so much.

I have to hugely thank the artist @kisunaexe for their gracious permission to use their art of Fenris and Hawke on the front and back cover of the bind. The cover was designed in Canva, printed on matte photo paper, and covered in soft touch laminate for protection. It is a little hard to see but the spine has ripples on it to mimic water. I really love how it all came together in the end.

For the title fonts, I used Asul and Inquisition Small Caps Normal from (or close to fonts from) the series to link the bind back to Dragon Age.

The chapter heading art is a recreation Fenris's chest tattoos, given how significant they are to the story. This was recreated with direct reference to concept art/screenshots from the series. I have done few colour typesets so wanted to have a go with a simple one to get me started here.

The spine has an oxford hollow for stability, and a rounded spine.

Gorgeous Lisa art, as always !

I had an idea

i've been rewatching crisis core cutscenes recently, wondering if I'll notice something different after knowing what I know from Ever crisis.

This scene in particular stood out a bit because why does Sephiroth look as if the Apple reminds him of something, like he's momentarily considering truce— only to look towards that Jenova sign and change his mind. It's not just that he looks towards the sign, but there's a bit of that glitchy effect that we normally see in Remake associated to the "headaches" too.

I wonder if he can hear Jenova inside his head in Nibelheim the way he does in Robio. Her voice Influencing him, playing into his weaknesses and telling him that she is the only one who will be there for him.

セフィロス、JENOVAのプレートを見る。 セフィロスは何か（ジェノバの意志）を感じる。 （画面フラッシュやジェノバの一瞬のカットインなどで表現） セフィロスは落ち着きを取り戻す。

Which can be translated as:

Sephiroth looks at JENOVA's sign. Sephiroth feels something (the will of Jenova). (Expressed through screen flashes or a brief cut-in of Jenova). Sephiroth regains his composure.

Day 5 - A most accomplished performance.

Hatred and envy engulf Genesis' soul when he realizes himself in a secondary role. Instead of being the main character, he is just an object of love, forced to always remain in the shadow of the hero. He denies his nascent feelings. Until envy, hatred, and pride are shattered by Sephiroth's pure and sincere love for him.
