A Kindle cover I designed for Art of War by Moxibustion (RyuuzaKochou) on Ao3!

I love this fic for so many reasons. The writing is gorgeous, the characterizations fantastic, and the plot golden! It's got everything you could want in a Bad Batch story, honestly...all the hurt, comfort, angst, humor, drama, action, adventure, and brotherhood you could ask for ♥︎

Written from Echo's POV, we follow along as he gets to know each of his new brothers and the surprising gifts each of them have aside from their enhancements.

Below is an excerpt from the prologue if you'd like a small taste of what this wonderful fic has to offer...

Echo had never had any particular talents. Nothing which others hadn’t shown two-fold more than him, at least. The one word that had appeared again and again in his performance reviews was ‘workmanlike’. While others would have been damned by such faint praise, Echo had always treated it like the compliment he’d always felt that it was.  There was no shame in being workmanlike. Workmen were skilled and competent and thorough, quietly putting in all the nuts and bolts in a system that no one ever missed until they weren’t there anymore. Among thousands of troopers who were all so basically the same that individuality was a precious reward and a lofty goal, Echo was one of the rare few that had never wanted to stand out. He’d wanted to do a good job and nothing more. Perhaps it was the company he kept. Fives had been born to stand out. He’d always been so wholly himself, so completely and fiercely certain of everyone’s right to be who they were and not be dictated to about it. Even Echo, who compulsively sought out the safety of structure and hierarchy for the better part of his early life, could not help to be drawn to such a flame.  Fives had always known exactly who Fives was and to hell with everybody else. Echo had just been Echo. He’d gone by the book because he knew he had no specialness to speak of, no individuality like he saw in so many of the others he admired. If he could not be set apart, what else could he do but blend in as hard as he could? He was never made to stand out. He was made to follow those that did for as long as he could. The chances of him surviving the entire war without the ingenuity, the genius, the resourcefulness of his far more talented brethren were low. He never expected to wake up one day and find out that he was, in fact, the last of them. Funny old galaxy, really.

i take this lover girl stuff very seriously

[caffeinatedcatlover]

The first row is completed! At this rate I’ll fill out both pages. I don’t really have a reading goal, but it’s nice to have an overview of all the books I’ve read so far.

[anamelessfool]

I casually remember the Copia fic that I first read and how it changed my brain chemistry forever and then i look the author up and THERE’S A FUCKING SEQUEL THAT UPDATED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO

And I don’t think this writer is on Tumblr. I’ve been on tumblr for a little over half my writing ”career”. Got its ups and downs but yeah the whole fandom world isn’t twitter or tumblr

If you’re out there ao3 author fellowwriter know that I love you and think of your fic near daily

SLOW DANCE - Rainbow Rowell

Oh my God !

Finally my Bookclub and I got together to discuss this book and we all came to the same conclusion… it’s sooo good and cute and funny but also really raw and real.

It was my recommendation because I knew that @rainbowrowell never disappoints💚

We were all in love with the story and also the characters (we are in love with Cary.. he is so hot)

I knew I was going to love it but I am so happy that I got to share this journey with my friends.

We also listened to the playlist of the book in Spotify lol and it made me feel like I was there at the wedding watching them dance 🪩

GO READ THIS BOOK NOW!

Our only question we have for @rainbowrowell

- who do you think looks like or where you inspired by for Cary and Shilo? Because we know what they look like but we also have very different opinions in our “fancast” 😂

P.S. We kinda need the recipes for all the desserts shilo makes 🤭

It's finally time to introduce my favourite new character EHEHEHE WOOO CK TIMEEE we're almost done :]

–

Covered Kindling is a sequel to Broken Rhythms, and is a Tommy-centric fic with 74k words so far and 7/8 chapters. It follows Tommy as he adapts to life and deals with his trauma after his kidnapping.

Summary:

Phil had a guitar; Tommy had noticed it on his second week in the house. It didn’t look like anything special, just kind of a guitar, but Phil never touched it. After a while of eyeing the thing, it started to make sense. It was older and definitely something that could snap like a twig if someone beat against it for more than a second. A delicate object he obviously kept away so no one would touch, and it simply rested in a stand in the corner of Phil and Kristin’s bedroom. Really, it was like he was asking for it to get stolen.

Or

A Broken Rhythms sequel where, after finally escaping a fourteen year kidnapping, Tommy is home. Learning to be happy is harder than he expected.

guys i think the world is gonna explode. no source i just have a feeling

[getoutofbednelly]

so the most recent fics I’ve read on my kindle are the first two parts of the time has come today series by teen_dean (@urne-buriall on tumblr I think). and these are so good. I’ll elaborate more in my fic review but I am excited to share the cover I developed for my kindle collection because I really enjoyed going through different iterations of this cover. I’m just posting the cover I landed on for now, but I think I will share some of the other iterations which include design choices that I cut and edited at length(in another post or reblog later).

Fic review, cover design notes and a small disclaimer under the page break:)

fic review: I’m not always one to love casefics, watching cases passively on screen is one thing, but I can’t always immerse myself in a case to keep interest. I’m more one for character dynamics and the dynamics here are so interesting and introspective and funny I can’t get enough.

When it comes to the characterizations the author really nails it too. They are so close to canon that when I inevitably dissociate from atmospheric chemistry seminars and start thinking about supernatural, I can’t remember if something happened in their fic or on screen. I love these characters and teen_dean obviously does too because they treat their characterization so carefully. The cover I designed references scenery and plot points related to the case part of the fic, but I wish I could have incorporated the deep and thoughtful character analysis that is part of this fic.

And the imagery, particularly the west coast imagery, is. so. good. Very rarely am ever I struck with the desire to draw imagery described in writing, but it struck me at multiple times throughout this. most noteably the cas in the orchard paragraph highlighted in one of my pics towards the end of young hearts (will it be my first castiel fan art??? I certainly hope so.) chef’s kiss.

I really thought I would take a break after finishing young hearts, but I wasn’t ready to not know what happened to teen dean and past-cas in the next fic so I’m reading the rules of have changed today now and I have no regrets.

some notes on the cover design: I’m not sure this translates to the end result, but the glowing text of the title/author/everything-else was meant to represent the flickering lights of neon signage you might see in a dive bar. The description of Schaffer’s bar at the beginning and end of the first part is rich and another example of really capturing the feeling of canon (which I should mention is something the author does really well through scenery too). I don’t think I necessarily got the colors right (I initially imagined a larger color palette), but I’m feeling pretty good about the glowing aspect of it. In a print book format, I’d like all of the red to be metallic embossed.

Its very faint, but I included the silhouette of a mountainscape with silhouettes of dark watchers watching in the background. I think you have to zoom in to see them though. So I included a zoomed in image of two of the dark watchers. See if you can spot the other two!!

The last thing I wanted to mention is that I know arimaspians are typically one-eyed (on their heads). I took a creative liberty and put an eye on the hand.

lastly, a disclaimer: I know that teen_dean already has a cover and print typeset for their fic on their page. I just wanted to add my creative twist on it for my kindle collection and wanted to share it with you all :’). I should say explicitly that this was not designed in communication with the fic author. I do not take any credit for the fic (credit to the story goes to the author and characters to the cw). if teen_dean comes across this I especially hope they enjoy it<3, but if for any reason you (teen_dean/urne-buriall) don’t want to be associated with this cover, please contact me and I will take this down.
