[Note: this project was completed in October 2021.]

More gentle conspiracies ahead! iodhadh commissioned me to bind not one, but two copies of their fic: one to keep and one to gift, done up as a matched set in Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen colors. (With, of course, some extra pops of red and gold for Xue Yang.) I decided I wanted to take the cover design in a slightly different direction than usual, so no cutouts this time – just some ink, cloth, and marbled paper. To tie the set together, even when they were eventually separated, I used the marbled paper from each book’s cover as the endsheets of the other book.

Also, my favorite tag on the fic is “give xue yang a gun,” so of course when it came to the interior design…
