Summary
Alt-History: Tom Riddle died young
Magical Britain enjoyed peace… and grew dangerously complacent. Now magic itself is failing: ley lines stutter, wards fall, pillars of The Light act in ways that defy logic and compassion.
Hermione Granger dives into the crisis with brilliance and stubborn hope, aided by two very different wizards:
Master Snape: incisive, emotionally scarred, a mind running in the same fast, intricate patterns as hers.
Lord Prince: aristocratic, unnervingly composed, steps in at key moments, knows more than he reveals.Each speaks to her magic. Each sees a different part of her. Each feels uncannily familiar.
What she doesn’t know is…
They’re the same wizard.
Splintered by glamours, Occlusion, and necessity, Severus has lived two lonely half-lives for so long he no longer knows which is real. Prince offers power; Snape offers purpose. Severus is drawn to a witch whose magic calls to his.
As Britain unravels, a truth emerges:
To save magic and stand beside the witch who loves every tattered part of him…
Severus must do what he’s never dared…Become whole

Everything You Need to Know Before Courting a Muggle by CalmEntropy

Summary
A how‑to guide on how absolutely not to.
This highly "authoritative" advice column from The Quibbler is written with unwavering confidence and a remarkable disregard for verification. Drawing entirely on secondhand observation and wildly optimistic inference, a Pure-blood author attempts to decode Muggle dating etiquette based solely on public behavior in non-magical spaces.
The results are thorough, deeply sincere, and catastrophically incorrect.
Warning: This guide is not recommended for successful intercultural courtship.
It is, however, an efficient method for generating confusion, discomfort, and situations requiring immediate intervention by Aurors and the Muggle Obliviation Squad.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
After the war, Hermione and Severus share a drunken one night stand. Horrified when he realises Hermione was a virgin, Snape gives her a dangerous dark artifact and disappears. An accident at the Ministry throws their lives into chaos, or so it seems. Divine Intervention is a tricky thing and what at first seems a fateful mistake might prove to actually be the correction of one.

Summary
1977: In a smoky Cokeworth pub where the Sex Pistols scream Anarchy through crackling speakers, Hermione's serving chips while young Severus Snape pours pints and practices his sneer. She wasn't supposed to be here, but a cursed Time-Turner had other plans the night Dumbledore fell. Their summer burns wild and free, all vinyl records, heated nights, and a love affair that tastes like rebellion. But September's reality crashes in: they're both heading to Hogwarts, where choosing sides means more than picking records.
Two decades, two wars, and one hell of a temporal mess later; the future's about to get a new soundtrack.
Never mind prophecies, History's about to get loud.
