I thought of a cursed crossover of husbands while watching hannibal. Introducing European blondie that comes into younger brunette's life and fucks it up (with pizazz). (sorry, more appologies coming with more hannibal posts..)

next round of binderary books are done! these are some paperbacks of three wonderful fics by dear friend @bisexualbluesargentt! they are:

savior complex: the first fic i ever read by bisexualbluesargent that altered my brain chemistry...so so good. Great Pretender, laurent/makoto, post-case 4, phone calls, the ocean...as they say in their tags, it's all here! tried to mirror a lot of those elements in the design, heh. also had to google which font iPhones use and went down a rabbit hole there, which was great fun.

and eat it, too: THEE hisoillu fic for me. i reach for this fic mentally any time i need to write hisoka or illumi, it's just. SO good and so delicious! was quite pleased with this cover paper--it's a blend of dark colors (there's like...a very faint purple gradient I couldn't get to show up on my camera) and neon hisoka/illumi color-coded sprinkles which i found v fun and fitting. also did some coloring in CSP with sections of the cake graphic on the title page to make it look a little like blood/innards :3

there are violets in your eyes: MY BELOVED. this is a rebind of the same fic from 2022, which I made a post about here! it's almost exactly the same in terms of materials used and the typeset, except for the size--I'm really into quarto letter books right now, so wanted to make another to complete this set! this is such a great tamaki/kyouya fic that has lived rent-free in my mind for years now and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. bisexualbluesargent is SO good at nailing the kind of push-pull ship dynamics that make me go insane.

(and some comparison pics with the pamphlet bind! matchy matchy heh)

and that's all for today!! making these was such a blast, and I got to reread some of my favorite fics all over again when I was typesetting them :D

@bisexualbluesargentt thank you so much for letting me bind your work, friend!! i can't wait for you to receive your copies soon <333

February 28 : reward | shelter | piano

@fluffbruary

A tale of meet-cute.

It was the smile that almost ruined Laurent’s cover. He immediately recognised Makoto based on Oz’s surveillance photos and several others he kept as mementos, mostly taken when Makoto was still a young boy. He knew Oz’s predicament that staying in Japan had always been brief in order to celebrate his family’s birthdays away from his lawyerly duties snapping photos to store and remember them when he needed some grounding.

Oz didn’t exactly look like his son. Makoto got all his physical attributes from his mother, soft and feminine, Miki, who unfortunately died three years ago.

Makoto’s smile erased Laurent’s doubts as well. There was no question that the Japanese boy was used to swindling innocent people. It was so charming and sinister at the same time. According to Oz, Makoto would turn 23 and was becoming one of those few ready to destroy Japan’s reputation as a crime-free country.

Too bad, Makoto met a notorious European bastard blond, who was an expert conning evil people on the face of the planet.

“Excuse me, did you drop your wallet?” The modus operandi was too simple, too inane to be taken seriously. Laurent watched Makoto and his accomplice’s comedic bickering in front of him and decided, once and for all, to bite the bullet. Kudo’s acting was laughably convincing that the boy never noticed anything weird.

“It is mine! Here’s your reward!” And for a good measure he hugged the boy and grabbed the wallet with the real money inside inconspicuously. Must be cheap to be seen like this as if he were feeling up Makoto judging on both Japanese men’s reaction.

Initially, Laurent’s interest to meet the young Makoto was simple curiosity until Oz decided to recruit him for the Team Confidence. It was a devious plan, very reckless, but Laurent didn’t care as long as he could avenge Dorothy’s death.

Laurent took his exit and was beside himself with joy. The first step, the introduction, was done. It was up to the fates if Kudo’s succeeding plans would work.

He’d be happy to bring Edamura Makoto with him to LA. It would be a privilege to be his mentor. Now, all he could do was cross his fingers.

*I miss them that I have been rewatching the series every single day. This scene from the penultimate episode really broke me. That winning smile from Makoto and the surprise etched on Laurent’s face. They should have discussed the elephant in the room.

[woosked]

I'm sorry I would fold if Laurent flirted with me he's sooooo fine

I'm so jealous of mokoto dude 😭

Fanfic Recommendation for today

i can't believe I missed out on this fanfic for so longgggg!!

So, I askeed my cousins if they can give me some fanfic to read on any fandom that they're in. AND MY GOODNESS, I remember the last time I searched the Great Pretender fandom in ao3 there are like 10ish one shots fics, but after forgetting about the fandom. It's so worth it to read this despite being late!!

I hope anyone who'll read this will also enjoy it as much as I have

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

Do you know that feeling of meeting up with your friend, whom you haven’t seen in years? And although you’ve been in contact through other means, there is something about seeing them in person that it is not quite the same because either you or them have changed a bit.

I have that similar feeling with the latest “Great Pretender: razbliuto.” The word in Russian means “the sentimental feeling you have about someone you once loved but no longer do.”

God knows how the two seasons of GrePre accompanied me throughout the apocalyptic years of lockdowns caused by the then unknown virus. It was also my doorway to Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. The VA for Laurent was Junichi Suwabe, who is responsible for Undertaker, the first Kuro character I was interested in. The rest is history, as they say.

So finally I’ve seen it and although the story was solid and the animation was what I darn expected, really damn good because it is Wit Studio, the one thing that made me really excited was the brief appearances of Makoto Edamura, the voice of Lady Abby, and the blonde bastard’s short moments at the Osaka airport. I am so happy for Dorothy. This is her story, yet it made me giddy whenever the new characters mention Laurent Thierry and his band of merry men. It gives me hope for a season 3.

So will I recommend this friend of mine to you? Yes, I think you should watch it. Hands down the heist is not as elaborate as the last two seasons, but the narrative is decent and the new characters are interesting. Besides, the music is still a killer. And it made me a bit teary as soon as I heard “G.P.” playing when the credits rolled.

And no, it’s not that you don’t love your friend anymore, it is just you have to acknowledge that feeling that somehow there is a distance in between that can be repaired in nanoseconds.

So yes, do it for nostalgia’s sake. Lastly, do it for Dorothy’s as well, who is living her own life.

Not even for my own likes, like out of general admiration! Go check this person out! @cariffio really great artist and one of the few that have actually made some art/brought attention to the TV series "the great pretender" and particularly through this art work which I'm supposing is about the ship Laurent and Makoto! Such an adorable ship and one of the most underrated around the block, honestly I just want to scream in frustration at how underrated this show is- I THINK it's on netflix but not sure.

[ami2kewl]

bebes and makotos (bonus mitsuru).

[roslynhilkins]

Dorothy pls come back!!!!😭😭
