This is my contribution to the Harry's Dead Dad Exchange on Instagram, hosted by @Avis Bindery and @moonybinding .

I bound Chained to the Moon by MsAlexWP for Oak.Star.Bindery and I loved every moment of making this fic. It's actually the first fic I ever typeset! (I re-typeset it for this exchange, but it was quite nice to revisit an old friend!)

This fic is a spooky fairytale AU with some horrific elements. It's well written, with lovely characterisation, some old villains, and just a great vibe.

Keys are a recurring theme, so I used a key on the bookmark ribbon and in the typeset footer; moon phases are naturally relevant, so they went in the typeset header, and the end papers and title page; and the vines that I used to separate scenes also relate to the plot. The southern cross constellation appears in the epilogue (spoilers!), and I added it to the typeset at the end and also the back cover. The parts are split with blood drips, and the chapter starts have claw marks in. Basically, I went wild with the halloween horror elements 😬😅

The headbands are hand sewn, but not super well - but it's handmade with love so it won't be perfect 🥰 and the white glitter HTV glows in the dark, which was so fun to add! It cut and weeded beautifully but it was a nightmare to get to stick, especially in the hinge gaps.
