I've been gobbling down Bingliushen at an alarming rate, so here's another horny OT3 fic, but this time Liu Qingge is trans because of course he is!

my last work for battleship is done, and it's time to say goodbye to team mermaid!

for @acernor, who i thought was super cool when we last spoke: i was over the moon to see you'd submitted a prompt to the collection and really wanted to write this for you! if there is one thing i can say about this fic is that it very much kept to your prompt of dfs bottoming, even if i wasn't too sure in which direction you'd like to see this ship in particular go. i hope you enjoy it 💖💖💖

many many thanks also to @a-memory-a-distant-echo for the very wrinkly-brained dfs takes, incredible brainstorming, major cheerleading, and for putting up with a truly ungodly amount of whining! i owe you like a thousand and shall continue to bother you ceaselessly 💖

Pairing: Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing

“You’re so cold,” Fang Duobing says as he pours him a fresh cup of tea, the brush of his hands warming him in ways the blankets will not. “I wish Li Lianhua had left more instructions.” He looks so distressed, Di Feisheng thinks hazily. It’s ridiculous - he’s hardly Li Lianhua, withering away like a plucked flower, and he’s suffered through so much worse besides - and yet the pup is acting like he’s dying on his watch.  This is nothing. He’s just-- cold. Very cold. Colder than he was as an orphan on the streets, shivering in threadbare robes and not yet knowing how to start a fire. Colder than when the sea had claimed him ten years ago, icy and biting down to his bones. Di Feisheng curls further into himself - the dampness of his hair is not helping, soaking into the fabric wrapping his back, and neither is the stray breeze he can feel make its way through Lotus Tower. Every shiver feels like it’ll shatter him into pieces, like ice on the ground. It’s nothing. He just has to wait it out.

Photo session for acernor's "Laid to Rest"

I actually decided the pastel store bought bookcloth looked a bit too plain and added metal corner pieces in gold. As mentioned, the end pages are hand-marbled by me and not the best, but it's important to me to try using the things I make even if they're not perfect.

The illustration is by @velinxi on twitter, used with permission for human_alias' typeset, which I had permission from both to print.

It was strange but fun using someone else's typeset; I don't usually do that, but this caught my eye. Especially the illustrations!

And we all know I'm a sucker for acernor fics.

This book is what converted me to the 50% pva/wheat starch paste church because I glued down the end pages with pva like usually and had to destroy it to adjust it. When mixing pva with paste, it takes longer to dry and you have more time to adjust. Highly recommend.

Although I love the gold corner pieces I've designed a cover art to do in gold vinyl. Usually I do the vinyl before casing the book in because it's easier (ironing a flat rectangle vs ironing a book) but that's how this turned out. Acernor liked the cover design I came up with so I'll be doing that soon.

Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System by Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Pairing: Liu Qingge/Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu

Illustration: Xiao Tong @velsmells

Wow, this book ended up being much more of a project than I anticipated, as you can see from the "published in 2020" on the title page. It's three months later, and I've finally finished! 🥰

I absolutely adore this fic, such a great character study and coda to the novel, and of course some excellent porn with feelings. Such exquisite writing, one of my favorite SVSSS fics! I’m ashamed to admit, when I first read Scum Villain, Liu Qingge didn’t make much of an impression on me; I credit this story for showing me the light. So earnest, so awkward, really just my favorite kind of character.
