Today you need to know two things. 1) There is a short fic on AO3 called “Gritty Kills Tony Stark,” and 2) Tumblr user @ starblightbindery bound a book version of it that is a work of ART: www.tumblr.com/starblightbi... (Part 1/2)

A book bound in ORANGE FUR with a gold guillotine pin. It looks like a malevolent orange tribble, but you want to touch it. It is sitting on a piece of blue fabric with a subtle print of stars.
The title page of the fuzzy orange book! The page is white, square, snd says “Gritty kills Tony Stark” in fancy fonts.
The glorious endpapers of this glorious book feature black silhouettes on an orange background of people holding up anticapitalist signs, including Gritty whose sign says “There are no good billionaires”
The fuzzy orange book is open to a spread, where artfully designed text says “I am a good guy,” Tony snapped up at the hairy orange beacon of anti-fascism and Pennsylvania hockey. “I am one of the Avengers!”

Somebody did exactly this with a CD we got at a radio station in the 90s and it's killing me that I can't find it. It was the most unwieldy CD case ever

More of starblightbindery’s amazing Gritty Kills Tony Stark book. Here’s a link to the original fic, too: archiveofourown.org/works/16620266buttondown.com/the-rec-center

Another spread from the fuzzy orange book, Gritty Kills Tony Stark: a picture of Gritty (orange fuzzy hockey mascot) spreading his arms. Text next to him says “Your hands drip with the blood of foreign children and can never be scrubbed clean.”
Another spread from the fuzzy book. The text is mostly obscured but Gritty has been worked into a late 18th century French painting of a man being guillotined.
Another spread from the fuzzy orange book. At left, Gritty has his hands raised in triumph. At right, text says: “Your powerful empires will fall, and my comrades will rise from their ashes like a spray of ice to the face of God.” Give this the Booker prize, stat!
A spread from the fuzzy orange book. At left, Gritty makes a peace sign. At right are a series of quotes (from commenters on the AO3 fic) under the heading “Praise for Gritty Kills Tony Stark.” Quotes include “An inspired work of proletarian rage” and “this story seized my means of production”
