Nebulous AU idea I had where Fitzjames and Crozier are both taken prisoner by the mutineers

Hickey and Fitzjames have such a fascinatingly underexplored dynamic to me. Both of them wish so desperately to be seen, and both of them end up seeking that from Crozier. Cornelius, you - the Captain doesn't see you at all. Francis, a man like me… will do amazing things to be seen.

The way some of Hickey's traits are reflected sympathetically in the leadership while being actively punished in him are just endlessly interesting to me. It feels like he's living in an entirely different genre to the rest of the ship.

9th and 10th books of Binderary

This is one of my favorite Terror fics - a modern AU where everyone is participating in a knock-off baking competition called Barrow’s Baking Boys.  

This was the first story I knew I wanted to bind for Binderary.  I started the typeset way back in early January and decided to switch things up a bit and give formatting in GoogleDocs a try.  The story had a couple different narrative styles - voiceovers and interviews for the show, plus some conversations over text (a first for the stories I’ve bound).  So in addition to learning a new typesetting program I got to find a way to represent those distinctly, and in the process learned that google docs doesn’t maintain its formatting between firefox and chrome.  (That was a lot of misprints/glue sheets…)

I’m really pleased with the overall look of these books.  I was going for a very classic style and ended up using some printed marbled paper I hoarded for years, with a gray and blue check cardstock for the endpapers to kind of get the Bake Off gingham vibe.  The body text is a very safe Times New Roman, with IM Fell for the on-air narration & interviews, and Quintessential for the titles.

the connection between francis saying that the terror acts as a confessor for its inhabitants & hickey leaving his real initials in the ship
