#spill your wine

[the-furthest-city-light]

Hey hi hello I'd like to tell you about the wonderful gift my friend @swordsmans made for me.

I literally spent Thursday night just. Looking through it and turning it over in my hands. It's SO pretty and has SUCH A VISION in the making of it. Gyro's work is amazing. Just. Look.

The cover? The gold foil lettering? God. It looks so good on my bookshelf. And the DETAIL. They painted the edges of the pages guys, it looks SO COOL.

(excuse the low-quality photos, I have learned i am terrible at staging books, but just LOOK AT THESE PAGES.)

Okay and now for me waxing poetic about this.

When gyro first mentioned that they were going to start commissions for binding people's fics I was excited for them and also planned to commission them to bind one of my own fics. I knew I wanted to get a bound copy of their fic The Sea Makes Bones of Bodies as well, because if you haven't seen the typesets for that and the copies they've made you really should (here's my personal favorite of their copies). So I reached out and imagine my surprise when I discovered Gyro was already planning to do so.

Genuinely one of my favorite experiences in fandom is seeing people make art for their favorite fics and be inspired by other fanworks so when I tell you that I was BEYOND HONORED about this and SO PUMPED, like. I don't have words. I'm so grateful to have received such a lovely gift (it's on my bookshelf next to my copy of Rilke. Rilke.) and I keep running around with a huge smile on my face because I still can't believe anyone liked my silly Zolu fic enough to be inspired to actually bind it and now I have it in my hands.

I don't actually know anything about bookbinding except for what I've gleaned from Gyro but I did wonder how it would like. Feel in my hand compared to traditionally published books. I'm super careful with it because I love it so much but this thing is not going to fall apart at the drop of a hat. Also the book just feels nice in my hands. Weird thing to notice maybe but Gyro also picked a lovely font? I read the fic (IN BOOK FORM AHHHHHHH) and it was just as readable as it is on AO3 (though obviously this is way better/more special askdfjajjakkkiss).

If you are interested in fanbinding and the actual process Gyro used to make this, they made a post here. If you would like to request a fanbinding project their form is here. Gyro's Kofi is here as well. And if you'd like to follow gyro's fanbinding archive that would be here.

Okay! I think that's all I wanted to say. Gyro it was so lovely to have a front-row seat to the creation process and see how you made the book. Genuinely one of the best gifts I've ever received, thank you so much!!!

Good morning/afternoon! I was wondering if you might have any fanfiction recommendations for One Piece, specifically with a lot of ZoLu? I recently read your fics Spill Your Wine and your Fair Winds and Following Seas series and I can't get enough!! Anyways, have a wonderful day/night, thanks for writing your amazing fics!!

(P.S. the pining in Spill Your Wine had me on my knees!!)

Hi Anon! 1) Thank you for reading my fics, I’m really flattered you enjoyed them.

2) OH BOY DO I HAVE SOME ZOLU FOR YOU.

I have more one piece fics bookmarked that I highly, HIGHLY recommend, but here are my favorites that are also complete (all of these are Zolu ships only, and only one fic per author):

that which is breathed by Kurgaya

Rating T

This is one of my favorite fics of all time across any fandom.  It’s a daemon AU, it’s Luffy’s POV, and Kurgaya gets both Zoro and Luffy so right.  The series goes through Fishman Island, if you’re not yet caught up.

Deadhouse by YamatosSenpai

Rating:  M

This is a Zombie Apocalypse Zolu AU, and if no one is recommending it then I am dead.  Yes it is very long, but my god, it’s worth it.  This is one of those fics where you finish it and have a bit of a reading hangover because the world they created was so vivid and interesting.

last year i abstained by Augment

Rating: M

I aspire to write a fic as compelling as this one.  My read history says I have reread this fic 52 times, and I’m shocked that number isn’t higher.  It’s Luffy POV pining, and the sequel is equally amazing.  The sexual tension in this is SO GOOD, please read it.

Wano reunion fic, Zolu goes on a date and sees fireworks literally and figuratively.

Unable are the Loved to Die by BasicallyACat

Rating: T

IF YOU ARE A ZOLU FAN YOU MUST READ THIS.  NO NOTES.

tidings of war, tidings of joy by queerweather

Rating:  M

Spoilers for Wano.  This fic is so horny and so good.  It single-handedly changed how I’m gonna be writing Conqueror’s Haki in Fair Winds and Following Seas going forward.  Please read it, for the love of God.

the only animal by batman

Rating: E

This fic is filled with Zolu pining, devotion, and jealousy, and it’s written so beautifully I reread it four times in as many days the week it was published.

I had to rewatch/relisten to this part 3 times to realize Rhett was saying “hints” and not “hands” lmao. XD 

The *actual* show of restraint in this episode.

Prompt: Shoes

Pairing: YasMoon

***

Their shoes lay kicked off at the foyer entrance, forgotten.

Yasmine leads Moon around the hall’s velvet centerpiece, twirling with one hand on her friend’s waist and the other on a glass of merlot. The marble floor is cold against Moon’s feet, but her cheeks are burning.

It feels like a princess ball. And Yasmine...

Already drunk, she trips. Her wine spills, hitting Moon’s shirt.

Moon only laughs. Yasmine’s flustered, self-conscious blubbering is somehow so beautiful.

She kisses Yas to shut her up.

Sunset light sets the room aglow. When Moon looks out elegant windows, the clouds gleam like rubies.

***

And I chose you The one I was dancing with In New York LA No shoes Looked up at the sky and it was maroon

The burgundy on my t-shirt When you splashed your wine into me And how the blood rushed into my cheeks So scarlet, it was The mark you saw on my collarbone The rust that grew between telephones The lips I used to call home So scarlet, it was maroon

The amount of wine references there are in all of Taylor’s songs is uncanny

[the-travelling-witch]

i don’t know if any of you saw but i posted some tea about a guy i was hanging out with at like 2am but privated the post again bc i thought “oh that was too bitchy” but idk do you want me to make it public again i low-key want to talk about the shit he said

also i might change my theme just to get some fresh air on the blog, it’s not the superior spring theme yet, so if it looks like shit you need to tell me

Lesson learned: do not lie on the sofa with the end table with your read wine on it right next to where your arm will likely flail when you fidget
