Absolutely thrilled to share my second ficbinding, that of If an Injury Is to Be Inflicted by the brilliant @shealwaysreads . A dramatic and intense story, I fell in love with Bella's sharp characterizations for Draco and Harry and the compelling dynamic between them. I couldn't put this fic down, and now I can page through one of my favorite fics again and again.
This binding is my little twist on a Secret Belgian Binding (tutorial linked from the incredible Sea Lemon), with so many lessons learned from @renegadepublishing @armoredsuperheavy and my endless awe at @queercore-curriculum 's stunning binds. It features paper from Hollander's as a cover, black thread on the outside, and red inside.
And of course, I've included (inset on either side of chapter two) the gorgeous twin portraits by @maesterchill Few know what you are.
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain. Three years later, Draco indulges himself and attends his first Dog Fight—the infamous underground fights with no rules, no referee, and no points system bar blood on the floor. The game was simple: you win, or you die. A glint of green amidst the blood-red changes everything.
