Well-worn 100% pure silk with cow suede sole slippers.

floating on a pink cloud or sleeping inside a flower? drinking water dripping from icicles or dew drops from flower petals? silk slippers or lace up boots? bath or shower? lullabies or poetry? freshwater pearls or white opals? crying pearls or coughing up rose petals? pink blushed mountains or the moon on a bright blue sky? the scent of freshly washed laundry or the scent of old books? sitting by the river or on a pier by the seaside?

Of Warlords and Silk Slippers written by Boogum (aka @botherkupo)

Zuko hated his life. He had been banished, burned by his father, and now he was trapped being the 'little pet' to a man-hating warlord. Each day was torture - at least until the waterbender appeared. A very loose interpretation of Cinderella.

Unproductive reading week.

Things that can be done by hand: assembling these slippers. I would highly recommend using something to protect your fingers from the thread though. Much like with hand-sewn eyelets, much tensioning is required, and it really does a number on my pinky finger. I used a heavy 30wt silk thread for all of the utility stitching.

Tomorrow i will stitch the vamp insert and heel extension for the other slipper. Hopefully I have enough time to get started on the soles as well. For those, I’m using some goat suede leftover from a bookbinding project from years ago. It can be purchased very affordably from Pergamena. I’m using the thinner weight because it’s what I have on hand, but the heavier stuff might be better for a more durable sole. (It’s also the perfect material for binding stays)

@vazaha-tya I am obsessed with your fic - so I spend a day and some more drawing my favorite scene from the last chapter. It's hope blooms in the darkest hours on ao3 if anyone wants to check it out

Were you aware that everyone was in pajamas in the middle of the night? Or that hissing makes a person look like they are smiling? I didn't but I found those two facts delightful!

Gritting my teeth and clenching my jaw so hard a vein is popping on my forehead while I stare myself down in a mirror: THE LADIES ARE ENCHANTED BY MY FLACID AURA AND OVERALL PATHETIC DEMENOR. I WILL FIND MY DREAM WOMAN BY GIVING HER A COOL ROCK FROM MY SPECIAL ROCK POUCH AND RECITING SOME OF MY MANY RANDOM ANIMAL FACTS.
