All pairings were submitted! Here are some submitter notes:
Red/Blue (Time War):
oh the whole book is about how gay they are. it's about letters they write to each other fighting on opposite sides of a war to control the stream of time and every timeline and iirc by the end they fight against both sides of the war to carve out a space for themselves
Jedtavius:
the actors played them as if they were a married couple. and jed quoted brokeback mountain

When I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.

Sick of dating apps and hook up culture, I want to meet someone the old fashioned way: as super soldier agents on opposing sides of an endless battle across time and space leaving each other elaborate puzzles that, when decoded, reveal flirtatious letters.

I rebound This Is How You Lose the Time War because I wanted MORE COLORS.
(And also maybe the idea of using that tweet by Bigolas Dickolas as a blurb tickled me greatly. Because that whole situation was a highlight of my month.)
❤️ Did the cover with the same birds but added plot relevant double exposure effect I’ve loved since my True Detective days.
💜 Used purple fabric for the spine, painted the edges in a fun gradient, sewn the endbands;
💙 and used lovely fluid art by Marek Okon for endpapers.
Now no one in my household stands a chance of avoiding exposure to this gorgeous story ❤️💜💙
