Two types of Solangelo fans when the book cover was released:
"OMG LOOK AT THEM THEY'RE SO INLOVE *giggling and kicking feet up*"
or
"why the fuck is Will wearing SHORTS. in TARTARUS."

thinking about it now i can feel the emotional rollercoaster brennan for sure went through when the gang was escaping out the window and ally nearly tried to cast spider climb from the book because like. if they had tried they'd have realized the book was missing immediately but then at the last second the group chose to cast feather fall instead. they were 2 seconds away from blowing up all of brennan's plans and changing the course of the story and nobody knew. true stone faced dm moment.

Here's the bind I did of @mythrilthread's typeset of @psychofink's fic Falling Like a Flip of a Coin.
I picked this one up for Renegade's Tiny Books Bang (after completely failing to typeset anything myself, cry) and immediately knew what I needed to do with it. It needed to be a coin. The story loops, and I wanted the book to have that similar over-and-over vibe, so I took Ril's perfectly reasonable left to right tiny book typeset and printed it so the pages flip up. When you reach the end of the book, the natural action is to flip it over (and start again).
It was quite tedious to punch the spine and cut out the circles; I made a template out of vellum tracing paper to frame the text when punching holes and tracing the circle for cutting. I roughly trimmed the sewn and glued text block with a craft knife, then I clamped it between book boards cut to size (and shape) and finished it with a belt sander. The belt sander (while effective) left the edge a little toasty, so I painted it with acrylic gouache.
The endpapers are mercury glass paper (from a scrapbooking pack), the bookcloth is Duo 105 (Graphite/Brikett/Briquette), the cover decoration is silver iron-on vinyl cut on my cricut. The knotwork design (from the title page) is repeated on front and back.
I used a lot of new techniques on this book, including shaping, sanding, and edge painting. This is also the first book I've made that isn't my usual case structure, as the spine piece was made separately and attached prior to the boards.
Overall this was a really fun if challenging project, and I'd definitely try it again if I had a book that really called for that sort of shape!

bodyguard regulus is so hot bc he'd wear the slutty holster body harness and slutty black tight-fitting turtleneck and pants and his signature scowl nd james will dreamily sigh while staring at him across the room, intentionally let himself get kidnapped so reg has no choice but to chase after him but then his captors make the call trying to blackmail nd he can hear reg tell them through the speaker 'you can keep him' before hanging up
