Advent Anthology by @pacific-rimbaud
A Compilation of PR's one-shot entries for DHr Advent, years 2020-2022.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Relationship: Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger
Art by the wonderful @chestercompany
My binderary baby and second fanbinding project.
read below the cut for the process and other binding deets.
Quick Specs
20,015 words | 179 pages | Quarto (1/4 of Letter)
Technique: Flatback bradel
Title & Body Font: Libre Baskerville (in various style emphasis)
Fics included:
Les Pelerins (10k; 2020 entry)
I'm Never Lonely When I'm With You (5k; 2021 entry)
On The Virtues of Inexhaustible Burning (5k; 2022 entry)
Pac is the type I could trust to write anything and I know I'll absolutely love. Her advent fics, in particular, I especially adore. The writing is very visceral and I will not admit how many times I've reread these.
On The Book
I had not intended to bind any book/s for @renegadepublishing's binderary because of my hectic schedule, however FOMO won over and this book was born. It was a relatively quick design and typeset (I really do better under pressure lol). I wish I could say the same for when I started the actual binding though. This is the 8th book I’ve bound and I had expected it to go relatively smoothly, but this book fought me every step of the way and I'll indulge in expressing my distress on this post.
First, the print place I go to messed up my typeset, thus me having to travel back home to use our old crappy inkjet (that took 3 hours to print). And because said printer is crappy, I had to use 100gsm short grain to minimize show-through, and well, you can imagine how stick straight the pages are. Second, I made the case too small (I worked on the book after a toxic 12 hour lab day and was not in the right state) and instead of redoing the covers, I re-trimmed and repainted the fore edge (at cost of my lovely margins ..wails). Third & last, the vinyl refused! to stick to the cover and I proper burnt the HTV as well as my finger on my iron. In the book's defense, it was my first time using leather paper and I forgot to test their chemistry.
On The Bind
Everything else went swimmingly, aforementioned shit aside. I tried not to make this book scream Christmas and leaned into a more subtle theme through color choices. I finally got to use this lovely red leather paper from Itoya, which my parents bought me during their trip in Japan. Many thanks to @celestial-sphere-press for helping me out with the shops to visit!
The design cover was made on Illustrator. The words are actually the fic prompts which I arranged in concentric circles, inspired by the arrangement of the advent candles in our local church from years back. I have no idea what paper my print place used, but it has some nice pulp to it.
As I said, I melted the HTV and certain parts refused to stick, so I peeled all of it off, except for the spine title (which miraculously stuck) and used my foil quill pen instead. I used an off-brand one and it's really good!
I also did this sort of strip across the edge which I learned is called a "river" as Nic @bindsbymunchkin called it. The side near the spine though, looked asymmetrically empty, so I added the foiling. And as this is an anthology, the punctuations was a design choice to convey the start and end and pauses in-between stories (and mostly because they just look fancy lol).
Like my last bind, the edges are gold which is comprised of an undercoat of diluted dark gray Sakura acrylic paint and many layers of Liquitex iridescent gold acrylic ink.
Endbands are made with alternating colors of cream, gray, and gold DMC cotton threads, however I'm learning I don't very much like how sewn endbands look on small flatbacks.
The endpapers are my fave. I had already tipped in plain cream cardstock but then I was like: this book needs MARBLED PAPER! so I ripped off the one I had stuck and replaced it. It's actually not real marbled paper HAHA. I sourced it from this site, printed it on some heavy paper, and oh my god I believe the universe really meant for me to find this pattern because it coincidentally matched the colors of the endbands!!
On The Typeset
I wanted to keep things cohesive but also give each story its own character. Libre Baskerville was a lovely typeface to do that on.
From left to right: Les Pelerins, I'm Never Lonely When I'm With You, On The Virtues of Inexhaustible Burning
For Les Pelerins, I wanted to mimic the silhouette of the establishments in Montmartre, hence the varying heights of the letters. If I wasn’t on a time crunch, I would’ve spent more time editing the headers but alas this is what we get. INLWIWY is more straightforward– a pinecone, which was a recurring theme in the story. And I think OTVOIB is my favorite. I drew tiny gold cracks onto the coal rock which is a significant element in the story. It still gives me that stomach flip whenever I reread it (iykyk).

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON!! 🎃
✨The Darkwood Wand✨ by @thebemoon
My first ever exchange bind, and my second ever properly completed bind is done and dusted and in the safe hands of my beautiful friend Emma @bright_owl_bindery (insta), and as part of our Aussie Binders #HalloweenDownunderFicExchange.
I’d like to thank Ene @chestercompany (Insta) for allowing me to use their beautiful portrait artwork in the typeset.
As a newbie binder, I stressed so much about trying to get this bind just right. I had so many ideas going on in my head, that I inundated myself and had major decision paralysis lol. I changed the chapter headings soooooooo many times, and there is over 60 chapters 💀
I hadn’t read The Darkwood Wand, but did so before binding, with the intention of getting ideas for the bind. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you do! It’s dark, it’s funny, and it’s a brilliant story.
I tried to incorporate elements of the story into the bind - the clock on the cover nears 10pm; I designed Draco’s pocket watch for the scene breaks in the typeset, the Part heading pages are of an African Blackwood Tree, which the Darkwood tree is based off of.
I have learned sooo much in the process of binding this, and I still have sooo much more to learn #CONSTANTVIGILENCE !!

About which scene does your drunk mind think of to be illustrated from any of your fics which hasn't been illustrated yet? Just asking 🤔 i started drinking half an hour ago, apparently English grammar is not my strong side when I'm drunk ..
oooooooh. wow. i fielded this question to the drunk team (tm) and the consensus seems to be anything in the bookstore betted draco and hermione in b&e. ya know, them being all flirty with those biographies. im also super partial to the scene in april 2002 of b&e after draco has watched hermione in the drawing room and afterwards they have this moment where they are standing in opposite directions and he asks her what he just witnessed. i just have very strong memories writing that scene and thinking about how they are standing and its just this very intense moment.

[monday] wip snip + art!!
They round the corner to the line-up of milk freezers; Draco stops abruptly in front of the single shelf devoted to dairy alternatives.
“I never see you with dairy,” Draco says, peering down into Harry’s mostly empty trolley. It doesn’t escape him what goes unsaid: that Draco’s been paying attention to what he purchases, that he remembers said purchases, that he thinks about it enough to notice what’s missing.
“No,” Harry agrees. He leans in close as he reaches behind Draco’s head for the soy milk, his pale hair shining and backlit against dozens of cartons of Alpro. Harry knows it’s a risk, but now that they’ve broken the touch barrier he’s desperate to pull more out of Draco, all of these little shoulder bumps and hand grazes stoking his hunger as he lines up their hips and presses gently forward.
Harry’s fingertips graze the little curl in Draco’s hair that never goes down, the one behind his ear, which is growing redder with flush as Harry tips his face to it and purrs,
“I’m growing increasingly lactose intolerant with age.”
thank you to the always wonderful @amorsindolor who tagged me in this. i have an incredibly special WIP snip to share today, because as you’ve seen it comes with ART. @chestercompany drew this INCROYABLE artwork, commissioned by actual chaos angels @dumbledoodlewriting , @eggbagelsjr , @eveningstruggle , from my WIP “the trolley problem.” when i say it made me cry to receive this gift, i mean that it made me CRY, baby. i can’t thank @chestercompany enough for making my little WIP that much brighter, especially during a time in my personal life where i have really needed some extra TLC.
a bit about the WIP: trolley problem started as a fic about “what if harry & draco kept running into each other at the soho whole foods lol” and has turned into a 50K+ meditation on being in your 30s and letting yourself be happy, even when it’s scary. it’s enemies to acquaintances to lovers to exes to lovers again. it’s a character sketch and a love letter to harry (in the way that sometimes a love letter means telling someone to do better). it’s a lot of things i could go into but will hold off on bc it’s going to be months, i think, before i post it.
anyway, thank you all the way up to space and back, Ene, for the incredible art! and to dumble, ebee, and eves for commissioning it for me! i’ll love it forever.
tagging anyone who hasn’t posted a wip snip yet and would like to!! i think everyone i was going to tag posted yesterday & i’m SO EXCITED about everyone’s WIPs omg. we are so blessed truly.

My fan variant of a cover for wonderful author @senlinyu and her work ‘Let the dark in’
disclaimer: I do NOT plan printing or doing anything with this cover or original text. This art was mostly made for pleasing my imagination and CAN NOT be used without the permission.
By the way, it’s also my first digital drawing experience ever. I was inspired by @chestercompany so original idea belongs to this creator as well.

Variations on Intimacy
For @chestercompany
When he sinks into you, his eyes close, mouth parting. You touch his face, stroke his cheek. “Kiss me,” you tell him, and he stops mid-thrust and wraps his arms around your neck, lips finding yours. It makes you want to cry, so you close your eyes, thread your fingers through his hair.
Afterwards, you stare at his ceiling, eyes tracing the thin cracks spidering into the center. “Do you ever feel like we’re just play-pretending at intimacy?”
He doesn’t answer for a long while.
“No,” he finally says. “That’s not what it feels like for me, play-pretend.”

Chapter 8: The Forgiveness.
« The moldy smell hits his nose sharply. At first, Malfoy doesn't understand where he is, but after a few moments his vision gets used to the semi-darkness..
He expected to be anywhere, but not here.
“Mister Malfoy,” he hears her soft voice from somewhere behind, and Draco immediately turns around.
Granger is standing a few meters away from him.»
«Heal My Wounds» by @lizbrkv
Translation by @chestercompany
Глава 8. Прощение.
« Спёртый запах резко ударяет в нос. Сперва Малфой не понимает, где находится, но через несколько секунд зрение привыкает к полутьме.
Он ожидал оказаться где угодно. Только не здесь.
— Мистер Малфой, — её тихий голос слышится откуда-то из-за спины, и Драко тут же поворачивается.
Грейнджер стоит в нескольких метрах от него ».

Chapter 9: Safe Haven.
« Hermione feels a prickling sensation on her own forearm.
She understands him. Now everything is a reminder.
A scar that carved not only her body, but also her soul. The eyes of her friends, in which the past is flashing. She herself.
Everything around her is a one continuous reminder. »
«Heal My Wounds» by @lizbrkv
Translation by @chestercompany
Глава 9. Тихая гавань.
«Гермиона ощущает, как кожа на её собственном предплечье покалывает.
Она понимает его. Теперь всё — напоминание.
Шрам, что сросся не только с её телом, но и с душой.
Глаза друзей, в которых плещутся тени прошлого.
Она сама.
Всё вокруг — одно сплошное напоминание».

What You Think is Right: Finale (Chapter 13) NOW COMPLETE
Thank you to @micbonbon for this BEAUTIFUL graphic.
“How did you know I’d be here?”
“You act like I don’t know you, Hermione Granger.”
AO3
FFN
Friends, today feels like quite a moment for me. I honestly can’t believe we’re at the end of this journey with Hermione & Draco. It is extremely bittersweet for me to say goodbye to them (though–frankly–those two were decidedly very unhelpful during my multiple bouts of writer’s block). Today is actually my 24th birthday, and it feels right to release this chapter now, because I’m so proud and grateful for all the work my Alpha / Betas did on this piece. They are a truly amazing and special bunch, and I am extremely grateful and beyond thrilled to call them my close friends as well.
@mightbewriting was the first friend I made in fandom, and it’s been such an amazing journey with her. Amanda, you are wonderful and such a lovely presence in my life. I’ve learned so much about writing from you, and I’ve been honored to work on your fics as well. I’m very glad that I reached out all those months ago with the Tumblr DM. Look at us now! I have so much love and respect for you, and I am blown away by your talent. I can’t wait to see your future writing. From “Bone Mortar” to B&E, you are a joy.
@endless-musings Ash! You are such a source of light and humor in my life. I’m so lucky I got to meet you through Amanda and that I’ve had the amazing opportunity of having you as an Alpha / Beta. It’s truly an amazing thing to meet someone (online, no less!) that understands you that way you do me. I’m such a fan of you and your writing, and I feel privileged every day to call you such a close friend and to have the opportunity to read your writing and work with you on “Secret of the Moon” (which, btw, you all should read!).
@pargcool You are such a wonderful editor, and I’m so glad you took a chance of my fic and helped me whip it into shape. You are one of the sharpest readers I’ve met and an incredible writer to boot. I honestly think you could do this for a living, if you wanted. You are such a wonderful presence in fandom, and you were a constant source of support with WYTiR. Truly, this fic would not exist without you.
Lastly, thank ALL of you amazing readers. Thank you to every single person who left kudos, comments, or recommended this fic. I am blown over by the support I’ve received, and I’ve been so blessed to have entered this community and to exist in this space where I’ve met so many amazing people, including @amurray @heyjude19-writing @pacific-rimbaud @smozark @blankfishxx @megamegaturtle @badcouldbeverse and many, many more.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
