I am really proud of the typesetting here :)

A Game of Thrones Anthology with works by @astolat

These are some of my favourite astolat Game of Thrones fics in book form.

(I've included "Gifts", "Pretty", "Traveling Far", "The Next Time", "Raised by Wolves" and "Let The River Run")

More pictures and me yappin' under the cut

Each work begins with a title page that not only shows the fic's title but also includes a small illustration (mostly medieval-style heraldry) based on the pairing(s) of that particular story (e.g. a lion for House Lannister, a sun and moon for Tarth, ...). These images were sourced from rawpixel and further edited and combined.

I also picked the title color for each fic from a medieval frame I used on the following page. It is from a ca. 1450 Bible, which you can view here: https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103RTN#full-artwork-details. I cleaned it up so that the background and original text are gone and I could use just the frame.

The little b/w chapter start illustrations also appear in the header of each body text page. like this:

and on the cover like this:

The font used for the body text is EB Garamond, for dropcaps Initials TFB and for titles 2013 Albertus. (Better visible in this screenshot of a spread.)

I really love how this came out - especially how using that medieval frame makes it look like a book of fairytales.

As always: Many thanks to the Renegade Bindery Discord Server @renegadeguild for opening up the world of fanbinding to me. And thanks to astolat for writing such beauties!

thinking about how dostoyevsky wrote “the awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible,” and when tartt wrote "beauty is terror, whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it" and how they are right — the most striking (literary) images of all are always the ones where the subjects are bloody and death-touched.
