These Are All Stunning, But That First Dress Is What I Want To Wear If I Ever Win A Really Big Award.

Panville 💕

Cause my love is mine, all mine

I love mine, mine, mine

Nothing in the world belongs to me

But my love mine, all mine, all mine 💕

Literally writing a verbal fighting scene and it's tense af. My entire body is reacting as though I am the one having an argument.

Am busy doing this.

A new version of this Fantasy Library print!

Just about to sell out of the original run so I took the opportunity to amend a couple of things and add a bit more colour, I’ll be printing this with a few different background colours to choose from.

The book titles read:

1. A Massive, Brilliant Final Instalment of a Series You Didn’t Think Would Ever Be Concluded

2. Everyone You Recommend This To Will Love It As Much As You

3. A Clear & Concise Summary Of All Human History

4. A Novel You Once Loved But Have Since Forgotten

5. Still As Good As When You Read It As a Teenager (If Not Better)

6. A Perfect Short Story

7. A New, Canonical Entry In Your Favourite Series, Fixing The Problems In The Original Ending

8. A Brief Epilogue Telling You What Happened When Your Favourite Characters Grew Up

9. The Book You’ll Write If You Ever Have Time

This new version will be up on my shop by the middle of December 2022, in the meantime there are a few of the old one left and lots of other book and ttrpg themed prints!

How do we know which part of the love story we're in?

Are we in the really difficult part before we get our shit together and it's about to get really fucking good?

Or is our story the one that kicks off my book of falling in love with myself and finding peace or someone else? Is this the story that leads to my story, alone?

If it's the first...how many more chapters until we get to the part where it all makes sense and neither one of us knows how we ever lived for a second without the other?

If it's the second...God, can you just rip my heart out now so we can get on with it?

Hermione Granger has always found solace in books, but lately, she’s become captivated by a series of romance novels that seem to ignite something inside her. The intense passion and longing in the stories stand in stark contrast to the comfortable, if somewhat dull, relationship she has with Ron. As Hermione delves deeper into these novels, she begins to question whether she’s been settling for something less than she deserves.

When she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Pansy Parkinson, who claims to be the author of the books, Hermione finds herself drawn into a world of intrigue and whispered secrets. But as she grows closer to Pansy—and the alluring world she represents—Hermione begins to realize that the life she’s been living may not be the one she truly wants.

Caught between her familiar past and a thrilling new possibility, Hermione must confront her feelings, her desires, and the powerful pull of a passion she never expected.
