    Summary

    This is a flaming dumpster filled with CSS and HTML experiments. It's not instructional, but I post the code and my own explanations for both our sakes. Feel free to steal the code or ask me questions- I don't know what I'm doing. :)

    (Pics are mine though)

    Chapter 5 is probably what you're looking for ;)

    I'm not going to say I take requests, but I'm always looking for inspiration.

    It seems I've broken Ao3 yet again. I can no longer add more code to my work skin so we're moving on to part two!

    Summary

    Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.

    [Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

    Summary

    With a sigh, Jaime lets himself fall onto the bed, stretching himself across it in a manner oddly close to feline. “And here I thought you were just making some excuse to see me again.”

    “If it will get you in a room with me—” she says carelessly, and Jaime cuts her off with a laugh.

    “You would stoop so low. Is the Family rubbing off on you, Brienne Tarth? We mustn’t let that happen.”
