First off, I have to say that I absolutely love this fic, I definitely recommend it, and also it is twice the wordcount of the first Harry Potter book, which makes rereads an endeavor. Solution? Bookbinding!!

I found this little old photo album that wasn't being used -- super lovely, leather bound (though idk if the leather is real) and just about the perfect size for nearly 800 pages of fluff and angst and family feels :D

On the front and back inside of the cover, I drew these fun living-color swirls, and it might not look professional but also fight me bc it was fun and painstaking to do :)

Here we have the inside title page & author, the dedication (in italics bc I'm pretty sure that's what they do) and a table of contents which actually spans 4 pages but I figured you get the idea with just the first bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have some excerpts, plus the beginning of the author's note at the end, which was beautiful, I have to say. It might be visible in one of the in the photos, though I used white thread, but I did print them in 16-page signatures, then fold them, and sew each one together -- there were so many ToT

Dunno how visible it is, but in the one photo I think you can see that the long edges of the pages are kinda curved, because with the changing font size (I ended up at 10.5 Times New Roman) and page size, I could barely fit it into the spine, and I had to put several books on the stack of papers before I glued the felt spine on (which had flaps that I then glued to the actual cover for flexibility), so some of them are pushed up on the edges. A little annoying, but I made it work, so it's all good ^^

Now it's on my shelf with all my other favorite books! I hope y'all appreciate that it's been placed with A Death In the Family and some other Batman stuff. Also, I collected tiny Jesuses and made them into a rainbow :D (there's no purple or pink but if I somehow get more in the future I'll prob sharpie a couple of their sashes to complete it)
