Greetings, our patient audience! The theater has been quiet, but behind the scenes, rehearsals have continued tirelessly all the while. We’ve been busy perfecting every item to ensure the final performance is worth the wait. Here is a look at our progress!

The show may be over, but it seems the applause has yet to fade. Over 300 orders... Gods, what an astounding audience you've all been! As a token of our gratitude, we’re adding a small encore for you all: every physical order will now also include a microfiber cloth! Design by @kraey.bsky.social

The stage lights dim, the prying eyes of the audience slowly fading. Behind closed doors, two figures find each other beside a kindling hearth. No longer performers, they return at last to the comfort of their own company. Thank you for witnessing their story.

Joy, sorrow, satisfaction, regret—all drown beneath applause as the show ends. The echo of the final note lingers long after the stage has gone dark, long after the audience has left. This is your final call. Only 24 hours left until preorders for the #arlefuri zine close.

The actors take to the stage. The spotlight finds its mark, two figures dancing together under its heavy glare. The orchestra rises and swells in a dramatic crescendo—can you hear it? Only two days left until preorders for the #arlefuri zine close!

Curtains rise, and the audience holds its breath. The air is thick and cloying—heavy with anticipation, stifling with expectation. Will you be there when the show begins? Only three days left until preorders for the #arlefuri zine close!

The clock ticks, the stage lights begin to dim, and the audience takes to their seats at last. Will you join them while you still can, or will you let this performance pass you by? Only one week left until pre-orders for the #arlefuri zine close!

A quick reminder that only two weeks remain until our shop closes! Make sure to place your orders before the 16th of February if you are thinking of buying the zine.

Red velvet curtains fall, lights dim, then brighten as the audience rises as one. Thunderous applause fills the room, a tribute to hard work well-rewarded. We have officially reached our last stretch goal, unlocking the Cover Art Print signed by @keibleh for all physical orders.

Your support has left us speechless! As a reward, consider this your invitation to a truly special show... though it seems the Director has attached a rather clumsy, private addendum for a certain guest. (Bookmark only eligible for Encore bundles)

What's this? A ticket stub tucked between the pages? It seems it's not time for the showing quite yet. Perhaps the curtain has yet to rise on #arlefuri 's story? Something tells us that reaching 100 Encore bundle sales might reveal more...

We've received a few concerned queries regarding the ethics of distributing Furina's private diary (and snooping on #arlefuri's relationship!) If you're worried, fear not! Miss Furina de Fontaine herself will clear the air!

You've all been incredible so far! Not only are we are already closing in on our last stretch goal, but we have also received an astounding number of orders for the Encore bundle! And... who knows? Something interesting might happen if we manage to reach 100 of those 👀

Not even a full week since launch and we've already hit 100 eligible orders! Truly, it only seems fit to reward you! Been hoping for something subtle, meant only for those in the know? Well then, have we got the pin for you! Eligible for all physical zine orders.

Three down, two to go! Less than 48 hours since launch and our amazing #arlefuri community has already unlocked 3/5 of our stretch goals! That means every Cadenza and Encore bundle now includes the standee! Next up is a pin we're quite excited about... 🌷 Standee design by @mouxxe.bsky.social!

It took you guys only 11 hours since launch to reach the second stretch goal! We are incredibly happy that so many people are excited to get more #arlefuri content! Every Cadenza - Half Bundle and every Encore - Full Bundle will now receive the carabiner stretch goal!

We are absolutely overwhelmed by your support! After just 5 hours we already hit the first stretch goal 🎉 Every physical order will now include this sticker and photocard set! The next stretch goal is a very special carabiner....🐰 Sticker and photo card design by @ellcalors.bsky.social!

Interested in the stretch goals we keep mentioning? Once we reach the first milestone we will uncover the new merch item! There is also a graphic on our shop that we will update as soon as we hit a new goal, so you can easily check the current unlocked goals!

Rejoice, preorders for the #arlefuri zine are now officially open! All the full works from our lovely artists and writers, along with the merchandise we have announced so far, are now available for purchase in different bundles. See more below 📷 arlefuri-zine.bigcartel.com

The last piece of merchandise we have to show is very special! Read Furina's diary, written by @thegoldsmith.bsky.social, and you will have the chance to get a deeper look into her relationship with Arlecchino—laughter, tears, and all the sweet and sour moments in between. #arlefuri

Physical merch is not all we have in store for you! In fact, you can now decorate your phone with this charming digital set by @poialamode.bsky.social. Now ArleFuri can tag along in your pocket at all times!

Whether it's adorable keychains or playful (and meta!) stickers, our @stttgvr.bsky.social has us covered! Make sure to bag these cuties for your collection! #arlefuri

Here comes our lovely @ordinaryreese.bsky.social with a just-as-lovely sticker design. It really swept us—and Furina, it seems!—off our feet! Feel the same way? Then make sure to carry this one home with you!

We’re so thankful to the amazing @yukii91218.bsky.social for their wonderful magnet design, looking as beautiful as stained glass! Make sure to clear a spot on your fridge for this one!

Tea for two—and pins for you! Can’t wait for @/rosinantes' wonderful designs to grace your bag or jacket? Then make sure to grab a few once preorders open!

Check out @arlecchumi.bsky.social's newest adorable additions to our merch lineup: charming charms and sticky stickers! Be sure to grab a handful!

Our wonderful contributors have worked tirelessly to bring you wonderful items you can proudly display in your home, and @focafurina.bsky.social is no exception! Look forward to their beautiful art print!

Stickers, charms, even a standee—there’s truly a little something for everyone, courtesy of our lovely @chawcawts.bsky.social! Don’t let these adorable little critters pass you by!

Now that you have seen the sneak peeks of most of the works that will be in our zine...it's time to show you the goodies you will be able to get! There will be bundles with paper merch (prints and stickers), full merch bundles and (secret) stretch goals. Stay tuned!

And now, courtesy of a well-known and beloved little snake with talented hands, it's time for the #arlefuri zine cover reveal! Let's all give one round of applause to @keiblehh.bsky.social!

Arlecchino is trying to keep a straight face, but we all know that if she had a tail, it would be wagging like crazy right now! Make sure you don't miss out on our lovely @arlecchumi.bsky.social's full piece in the zine!

Hand in hand, perfectly fitting together... They sure have come a long way, haven't they? Please look forward to @poialamode.bsky.social's piece if you'd like to know just how far indeed!

That side eye cuts more deeply than a knife… What has Arlecchino so displeased in @/enny_zord's comic?

Save a horse... Well, you know how the rest of the joke goes! But if you're more interested in the rest of this piece, do make sure to look forward to @yukii91218.bsky.social's work!

What a big, beautiful smile! But what could Furina be grinning so much about? Let’s find out in @/rosinantes' piece!

Rocky beginnings, rockier rekindlings. Is this where it ends for ArleFuri, or could it only be the start to a new story? Find out in @/superbsaturn's full work!

Plotting and scheming… These two are certainly proficient at it! What plan will they come up with in @/HresvelgE's comic?

Woah, is something on fire?! By the look on Furina's face the answer may very well be yes! What is going on in @adriariart.bsky.social's piece?

Shame, fear, anxiety, all swirling and mixing together, making her dizzy with overflowing emotions—yet it only takes a few kind words to make it all melt away. Please look forward to @/FAUXMAlDEN's piece in the zine!

Every hardship endured, every tear shed, has led to moments like these, to this happiness Furina can finally allow herself. Please look forward to @/kayveris's upcoming piece in the zine!

A single tear, to join the many Furina has shed throughout her life. Will Arlecchino offer comfort, or only more despair? Only @/xieow_ can know the truth—at least for now!

Furina certainly looks quite startled! Though surely there's no safer place than in Arlecchino's arms? We'd certainly like to think so! But what could've caused her such alarm in @/Ivorye_77's piece? 🤔

No matter what may happen in the future, their present can never be taken away. Their love can never be taken away. If you'd like to experience it as well, make sure not to miss out on @/P2W_BTW's full work within the zine!
