Summary
As a fanfiction writer, Kokichi was prepared for every situation ranging from posting a new chapter with a typo to losing an entire draft. He was well aware that some of his classmates read his work, including his beta reader Tsumugi and frequent commenter Miu.
That being said, he had no idea what to do about his crush somehow finding his fanfiction and starting to read them.

CSS in Testing by InfinitysWraith

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
Stanley was no longer a stranger to talking about his memories. It was hard to be when the worse of them hit him like a freight train in the middle of the ocean, and in front of the one person that would drop everything for him.
So yeah, Ford knew. He knew about the drugs. He knew about the sex. He knew about the stolen kidney, and the locked trunk, and Rico.
Ford knew about it all.
Well. Not all.

Userscript and CSS, as you prefer, to return overflow and sticky effects client-side by 𝖀𝓷ᶦ𝕔ⓞðə E Ⓜ️🅾️j̵͍̟̝̝̖̮̓ͭͨ̂̐̚ℹ️ (Charles_Rockafellor) for feindcode (feind)

Summary
What can I say that isn't pretty self-evident from the title?On Mon 08 Jun 2026, AO3 updated some stuff that broke a lot of things in a lot of people's CSS-works (and at least one userscript). I fixed it. This fix is only client-side, so that you can re-enable some of the magic that some people have wrought and see it once more as a reader — it doesn't act from within a work skin to force a rollback to the actual server-side site-level underlying code itself, so it's not much good directly for authors (indirectly: your readers might use this to see your effects).
Have you seen some of my CSS demos, or a number of heavy hitters' works that the change broke?1 If so (before the “update”), then you know and remember; if not, then you're going to want to do so, and you'll want this CSS or JS with which to view them in all of their glory.

A Beginner's Guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: No Fandom, Fandom - Fandom, AO3, Original Work
21 Sep 2026

Summary
You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.
This is the tutorial that answers that.
A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

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.

It's My Right to Be Hellish, I Still Get Jealous by Colorfullyminded, InkAndSmudge
Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)

Summary
But Robert knew no matter how much he wanted it, kindness wasn’t something he, or his stupid, broken down body, deserved.
He pulled away again, averting his eyes self-consciously whenever he remembered why he was really there tonight. The last thing he wanted was for Waterboy to see him like that. To see what the hero that he idolised was really like behind all the smoke and mirrors.
Herman’s smile fell at the same time as his lighter-coloured eyebrows rose, “D-don’t you want to dance-join in?” He glanced around the place where Robert was still leaning against the counter, “You’re all by your-alone.”
Not for long, if I’m lucky, Robert thought bitterly. The ache that had been building in his gut all day felt like a ravenous, gnawing hole now. It twisted something inside of him, made him feel sick and rotten and wrong. And a thousand miles away from the sweet-faced, wetsuit-wearing hero currently giving up his Saturday night to help keep a bunch of villains safe at a crappy metal night.

Summary
Robert continued, “What qualifies as the best insult? Is it like a scale? Are we putting it to a vote?”
The comms went silent for a moment; bless their little asshole hearts, they were really straining their mind muscles right now.
“That’s a good point– how will we know who’s the winner? We’re likely to vote for ourselves– leaving it a complete standstill.”
Robert rubbed his temple; he didn’t know why he was entertaining it, but– goddamn he was also pretty fucking bored. And color him intrigued.
“Okay, how about this? The winner is the first person who can hurt my feelings, deal?”

You meet a female Stanley Pines at a bar one night, and try to work up the courage to go and talk to her. You chicken out at the last second, but not all hope is lost.
First chapter is build up, second is smut (nothing too freaky, honestly it's slightly fluffy).

Summary
"Stanford Pines was not a man to be easily surprised by the strange. He had moved to Gravity Falls precisely to study it, after all.
However, he did not expect this.
Not to be slammed onto the cold forest ground with such force that his vision flickered, feeling grass scraping the back of his scalp, dirt pressing against his coat, heartbeat pounding so fast, and aching in his chest like it was trying to escape.
And definitely not to look up and see that.
A man —or what looked like a man— pinning him down. Blonde hair falling over sharp cheekbones, messy and wild. Eyes glowing a deep, molten gold that seemed to shift with every uneven breath. Horns curling from the side of his head, dark and smooth, along a pair of wings tucked tight and trembling behind his shoulders.
He was beautiful. Terrifying... but beautiful in a way that made Ford’s brain short-circuit."
Or alternatively; Succubus!Bill is a retired porn star who moved to Gravity Falls in search of some peace, but his poor luck led him to meet Ford. Chaos ensues.
(This is a rewrite of my Succubus!Bill AU now named "Love Taste AU", the previous fic that started this can still be found in my page but has spoilers)
