The Courting Season by @anarchycox (The Witcher TV, 47k), casebound at folio size for @silentsunpress as part of the Renegard 2024 binder's exchange!
I leaned into a flowery, elegant design for this one, and used a lot of William Morris assets and motifs to decorate the cover and typeset, and the result is really nicely cohesive - I even embroidered the cover and gold-foiled the edges!! Fonts used: Georgia (for body text) and Felix Titling (for titling).

Peeta’s Games by igsygrace, for my recipient in the AUS/NZ Autumn binding exchange (who does not have Tumblr, to my knowledge). (In the time since I sent this book off, the fic in question has been removed from AO3, so... no links this time!)
The inset cutout was a fun experiment, inspired by one of @celestial-sphere-press's alternate cover design suggestions from this post. Absolute pain to piece together, but has a really nice overall effect.
Mr. Brightside and the Atomic Bomb by @olivieblake. 129k, Original Work, rounded + backed at folio size! (+ accompanying slipcase, as usual with bindings I'm worried about sending in the mail.) A musical magical murder mystery set to the works of the Killers.
Done for lilithbindsanderads on Instagram for the Australian Spooky Season bookbinding exchange! This is fully illustrated, with a different doodle-border at the start of every chapter, and different scene break doodles all throughout. I pulled the same trick I did with The Strange Mixtape for all of the incidental musical numbers, so you can listen along as you read if you so choose.
Typeset in Georgia for the body text, with Bivoac Regular for the chapter titles and a neat font called Sam's Town for the big chapters and headings.
I played very hard into the lurid bright colors for this one, because it's a flashy dramatic story about performers, singers, and MURDER. It makes it a very hard binding to photograph well... but it's so pretty to look at. I'm so, so happy with it.
Tiny little octavo binding of Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, that classic lesbian vampire horror story. Typeset by @kulapti for the Renegade Tiny Books Exchange 2024, and one of the copies (the one with the slipcover) is securely with her now!
I recently obtained a bunch of wax-seal tools for the purposes of sending fancy letters to friends, and this felt like the right addition to the book. I had all of the pieces lying around already - the cover fabric in particular was just perfect - which has made this one of my favorite binds I’ve done this month.
The first of two MCU fics bound for @ashmouthbooks in this year's Renegade binding exchange! This one's Our Broken Parts (smashed on the floor) by This Girl Is (non_sequential), a MCU Steve/Bucky fic - bound in simple quarto.
Typeset in Alegreya. This and the other fic I bound aren't very similar beyond the pairing and fandom, but I wanted to make them feel like somewhat of a matched set, so they have pretty similar visual appearances!
bonus (very small sketchy) illustrations, under the cut:

And here's the other MCU Steve/Bucky fic I did for @ashmouthbooks - build it bigger than the sun by defcontwo, also in quarto!
Forms a matching set with my other bind from this year's exchange. I like the contrast of blue-and-gold vs black-and-silver; it shows a nice contrast between the (very different) moods of the two fics.
