Bound: Nothing but you on my mind by @moonflower-rose

You may already know that I love this fic to a ridiculous degree, so when I wanted to quickly typeset and bind a short-ish fic, this was an easy choice.

I got a color printer, so this was a test for that, though I didn’t use that much color. But the cover was also a bit of an experiment, I’ve never done this kind of cover, with a fabric spine and paper. (I forget what it’s called.) It was great for using up a small amount of book cloth.

The best part about using paper for the cover is that I was able to use adhesive vinyl instead of HTV for the title! I mean, it’s a pain in the ass for other reasons, but way less stressful.

Anyway, if you haven’t read this fic, you really should. Or you can listen to my podfic of it (I told you I loved it!)

The fonts used for the title and chapter heads and drop caps are all in the Goodlife family. Even the little frame around the title on the cover.

[Podfic] Poppiholla by @moonflower-rose (M, 1 hour, 15 minutes)

A lovely story of pining from Harry's POV.

(Part 2 to come!)

Hi! I'm looking for a fic with pasta salad. Basically, everyone loves Harry's pasta salad, and he finally invites Draco over for some. The author even included the recipe, which I think had a jar of mayo plus curry powder? Thanks in advance for any help!

I read this today, when I really should not be reading any fic at all because I have intensely boring Real Life Obligations but listen - listen. At some point in the last couple of years Rosie became … sort of my favorite drarry author?? Seeing her name attached to one of my VERY favorite tropes had me saying to myself “I’ll just skim a few paragraphs today bc I have to focus on this other huge thing I gotta do” before opening it and of course devouring it whole. What can you do.

Not sure how to articulate everything I want to say about this fic, but god, it’s just so GOOD, the kind of good that makes you wonder how the hell someone was capable of thinking it up and then actually writing it. I’m always obsessed with Rosie’s sexy, quietly confident version of Harry, and in THIS Harry is at his sexiest, most quietly confident ever. I’m always obsessed with her noble, vulnerable Dracos and in THIS we get the noble, vulnerable Draco to end them all. And somehow, despite my soul honest-to-god melting from how good these characterizations hit me, there’s also the fantastic side characters, a plot so good it’s insane and the kind of beautiful writing that effortlessly pulls you along.

I want to live in this, I want it poured directly into my bloodstream. Read it NOW!!!

“Harry.” Potter said, with a filthy grin. “I think if you’re going to put your cock in me, you should get used to calling me Harry all the time.” Draco stood up, and Potter’s eyes dropped down to his crotch. He grinned again. “Knew it. Massive erection.” “Shut up and get moving, Harry.”

Quote from a stunning fic that bowled me over with it's loveliness, incredible worldbuilding with details that crawled into my heart and made a nest, and the best established relationship I have ever seen: Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose (Drarry, E, 40k)

do you think tim has a garden? like he never really liked flowers before mh but jay fucking loved gardening, and brian always loved the flowers in rosswood so tim started a garden after mh with flowers

do you think he has lilies and forget-me-nots and roses and all their favourite flowers?

do you think he keeps them because it's the closest thing he'll have to a grave? there were no bodies after all

[kbrick]

Receipts was so fun!!!

The three things thing!

I am so behind that people are going to start calling me Dr Cheeks. I was tagged by three lovely humans of fandom, thank you all!

@shealwaysreads things here  @kbrick things here  @writcraft things here 

I can unhesitatingly recommend any of these writers works, not just the ones they’ve mentioned above, but I’m sure I don’t need to tell anybody here that.

So, on to ME! The thing we’re doing is ‘Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems.’

Keep reading

I'm sick right now and I can't really draw or write very well, which is annoying, but here's some old art. It's from a while ago, and my style's changed a little since then, but I think it's still not terrible.

This happened when I discovered moonflowers existed, and Nightmare was the first thing that popped into my head. Then I did Dream with morning glories as well. I reckon Nightmare turned out better, honestly.

Dreamtale belongs to Jokublog Flowerfell (inspiration for the whole flowers-growing-on-characters thing) belongs to Siviosanei

Flower Family Au

Imagine some adult getting mad at Dandelion and saying that he doesn't belong with his family because he is named after a weed and not a flower and not even 2 seconds later, his 14 ft tall mother is standing behind the looking ready for murder with her custom made real sword that was gifted to her on her wedding day. Eclipse is standing right next to his mother figure with a metal baseball bat also ready for murder. Rose has a gun and is waiting for the go ahead. Daisy and Moonflower both have shovels and are in charge of getting rid of the body and evidence. Aster comforts his oldest sibling.

-Cry

The whole family is always down for a good murder if someone makes fun of Dandelion.

Bound: Nothing but you on my mind :: Nothing gold can stay by @moonflower-rose

And here is a video demo:

I posted my bind of Nothing But You on My Mind here. But after that, and after I'd offered to send the author a copy, they released another gorgeous fic titled Nothing Gold Can Stay. And, look, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. So I decided to make my first tête-bêche bind. (literally means head-to-toe, or so google tells me)

This is a bind that is two books in one. Read one, then flip it over and read the other. Magic, right?

I had a lot of fun with this, and probably too much fun with moons and flowers and roses, but c'mon. How could I not?

I'm so glad it made it to the author safely and soundly, and that they also love it. :)

The body text used for NBYOMM is Arno Pro, and for NGCS I used Corundum Text. Titles and chapter headers for NBYOMM are all Goodlife variants, and I used Adlery Pro on NGCS.
