    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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)

    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

    "See? I just knew it," Hans says, poking Henry's chest. "I knew you’d be too damn hairy. Look at all this. You're practically a barbarian."

    Henry's snort is fond when it leaves his lungs, more exhale than sound. "You're hairy too," he offers graciously, flicking his eyes down a pale chest. His memory conjures up images of blond tufts—darkened with water, clustered beneath a navel, peeking coyly from under an armpit—before he banishes them. "It's just hard to see on your arms and legs, cause your hair is so fine. It makes your skin look soft," he adds, crazily, airing a thought that should have been kept barred and bolted.

    "Do you think about my skin often, blacksmith's boy?"

    "No." Henry is distracted; Hans's finger is twisting around his chest hair, an entirely new sensation for Henry's body. His spine tingles. "Maybe. I dunno."

    Hans keeps insisting that Henry share his bed. A very normal and platonic thing to do.

    Summary

    Henry playfully wrestles him to the ground, and their laughter shakes the trees. This is what life ought to be: easy and sweet and without any past or future. The rest of the world can hang for all Hans cares; all he wants is to make Henry laugh, and to turn him every shade of red possible.

    “Shut up or I'll fill you up,” Henry threatens. “I’ll get a strong son on you.”

    Something flutters in Hans’s chest. “I'm not a fucking maid, Henry.” He struggles a little more, just for show, and Henry pins his hands above his head.

    “Could be,” Henry counters, grinning. “My maid, my girl, the way you take me.”

    -

    In which Henry helps Hans forget about his upcoming nuptials, a wedding night is shared, and Hans yearns to become something other than what he is.

    Summary

    “I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”

    With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.

    In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

    Summary

    "Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”

    “Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”

    “Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”

     

    Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

    Summary

    The music fleeing the speakers is familiar. Beyond familiar, it's recognizable, and he recognizes it because it's his own damn song! His music, playing in a bloody nightclub. He's not hallucinating, he's not that drunk, this is real. Real and downright offensive, because this is the last place anyone should hear his style. His shit's above being played at a place like this alongside the rest of the club trash. He's still got some pride left, damn it all, and he won't let this mockery stand.

    Piers snarls, ready to shove away from the bar, but the beat changes, and the recognizable fades back to merely familiar. The riff of guitar is split through with a surge of foreign synths. The tempo picks up and drums that aren't his own define an energy he never intended.

    This isn't only his song. It's a remix. Someone's made a remix of his music.

    Summary

    Connor, a postgrad taking a semester off from forensic science, liaises with his father’s police station, occasionally working cold cases. When he picks up a cold case conspiracy that indicates a plot to revert all Deviant androids back to their original state, he realises he’s onto something huge, but his bad habits and drinking have made his father annoyed enough to get the HK800 – Hank, one of the only reverted once-Deviants in the world – who serves as bodyguard, nanny and curfew enforcer. Connor, frustrated that he can’t properly work on the case and looking to get Hank off his back, decides what better way to do that, then to make him a Deviant again?

    Summary

    The picture attached is uncanny. In his uniform Connor looks different from the flirty little twink climbing all over Hank’s lap in a taxi ten years ago, and he’s certainly filled up a little, face a little less angular and more masculine now. Hank remembers those earnest brown eyes and those pink lips a little too well though. Even the fucking cowlick is still there.

    And then Hank’s stomach rolls over when his brain truly catches up with what he just read - DOB August 1990.

    University my ass, Hank thinks weakly

    Summary

    All of my Mass Effect stories take place in the same universe, so there is a continuity between characters and events. That said, no one story is required reading. The various stories and chapters feature multiple different points of view. There are a few original characters, but the story POVs are main cast, excluding Shepard herself. While there are additions and deviations, the stories hew fairly closely to overall game canon (such as it is).

He’d already agreed to give his life to killing darkspawn, was getting fucked in the woods the first part of initiation?

    Summary

    The village of Honnleath is a world away from everything Dorian is used to, as though it's been stuck in time or abandoned by it—he really can't say which. It's steeped in myth and mystery, though none so intriguing as the quiet, reclusive veteran that always seems so far away, even when they're sharing the same small stretch of the shore.

    --------------------

    or: the one where Dorian is an author, come to Honnleath to research his next story, and Cullen is a veteran struggling to keep afloat in the small village he grew up in. both out of their depth and their element, they turn unintentionally to each other.

    Summary

    Cullen struggles with his lyrium addiction. Some days are better than others.

    Or (if you prefer a silly summary for a not-so-silly fic): In which Cullen is suicidally depressed, Dorian is a high-functioning alcoholic, and Bull just wants them both to be happy, except when he wants to crack their heads together for being emotionally stunted idiots.

    Spoilers galore, particularly for Cullen's, Dorian's, and Bull's personal quests.

    (There's a prologue here if you want to start with it, but since the prologue was written after this story was finished, skipping it won't affect whether this one makes sense.)
