# believing in everything (and knowing nothing at all) by @lesbianjesuslovesyou

> A series of childhood memories from the Ninth.

I love this fic, it makes me ACHE for baby Gideon, and I love its exploration of Gideon’s dynamics with the other characters on the Ninth as she was growing up :’) this is the second fic I bound for @renegadeguild’s Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day event!

- Fandom: The Locked Tomb
- Pairing: Aiglamene & Gideon, Gideon & Crux, Gideon & Harrow
- Title font: Supernova
- Body font: Garamond
- Pages: 200
- Size: Quarto letter
- Case: Pleather book cloth (Generic amazon brand) with sword shaped cut out and hand-embossed gold foil
- Endpapers: Skull Natural Copper by HimalDesign

progress pics and ramblings below the cut!

I was SO excited to try a cutout cover for this, and think the endpapers I picked were perfect for it. The Pleather “bookcloth” I used was a bit thick, and that in combination with the shape of the cut out made for some very goofy progress pics. I ended up gluing scrap paper to the tiny flaps, because they were SO at parts.

Also, there were definitely several places that were like… exposed chipboard/paper, so I used a marker to color it in to hide those issues and it worked great

I initially formatted the cover incorrectly and my printer was out of commission at the time so I couldn’t re-print it, so I just cut it up to frankenstien it into what I needed! I’m REALLY happy with how the sword cutout ended up lining up with the skull – you can see in the above photos that they aren’t identical, and this is because I did not think about this at all when cutting and gluing the endpaper in. OOPS!! anyway HOORAY luck was looking out for me bc it ended up looking great anyway!

The color of the cover was honestly hard to photograph but I love how it turned out and how it looked IRL. YAYY
