    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

    The grim, honest truth. Which was that Airplane was—maybe, maybe, unless Shen Yuan remembered wrong, which was completely and utterly and almost certainly possible—a decisively better fuck than his beloved, loving, battering-ram-cock of a husband.

    And, from the haunted look in Airplane’s eye, that he, Shen Yuan, was a better fuck than Mobei-Jun. Shen Yuan refused to ask any follow-up questions about that relationship status, history, or hypotheticals. He didn’t want to think about Airplane having sex with anything or anyone, because that was gross and weird.

    But the alternative was thinking about Airplane having sex with him, which was gross and weird and way worse and, unfortunately, historically accurate.

    what if you have bad sex with your soulmate husband all the time, and your transmigration buddy was like. kind of good at eating you out

    Summary

    Ford sighs again, this time more tired than frustrated. “How about New York, then?”

    A pit opens up in Stan’s stomach. He doesn’t want to go to New York either. He doesn’t say anything, and Ford groans.

    “Stanley,” he presses. “We need to stop somewhere.”

    Stan tries to find a reason, even if just for himself, that he doesn’t want to go. He had good memories there, for the most part. She was young, in her prime, going to bars every night and sleeping with whoever she wanted. She was happy.

    Finally, he shrugs. “Yeah. Do what you gotta do.”

    -

    New York opens old wounds.

    Summary

    Stan doesn’t ever ‘come out’, really. All it is is that one day he is Stanley and he has a girl, and he likes girls, and he’s perfectly well and good being a man, and then one next day he’s at a bar drinking, and he realizes he’s stumbled into a queer bar, and there’s a boy hanging off his arm and he’s thinking, this might as well happen.

    -

    So, sue her, she doesn’t really get the whole thing. Or, at least, she doesn’t get anyone else's thing. Her thing makes perfect sense to her.

    The house on Neibolt was standing again.

    Bill was talking about going in alone. How?

    “So does somebody want to say something?” Eddie asked, still breathing, still fucking breathing and alive and not dripping his Goddamn organs out of his chest.

    “Richie said it the b-best when we were here last,” Bill said.

    “Holy fuck.”

    Summary

    Rimmer pressed his lips together in a bitter smile. “Might I remind you that this whole dire situation is your fault?”

    “What, the coronavirus?” said Lister.

    “No, you idiot, us getting evicted,” said Rimmer. “If it wasn’t for you we’d have two whole bedrooms right now. I could have got a hotplate and a chemical toilet and sealed myself in.”

    “Hey, hang on,” said Lister. “I got us evicted? You’re the one who told Mr Hollister about Frankenstein.”

    “I wouldn’t have had to tell our landlord that you were in breach of our lease if you hadn’t been in breach of our lease,” Rimmer snapped. “Really, you –”

    Reluctant flatmates Lister and Rimmer are forced to move into a one bedroom flat after getting evicted. Unfortunately, it's early 2020 and what was supposed to be a temporary situation drags on. And on...

    In which Lister won't stop bringing home new flatmates, Holly communicates exclusively via Zoom call, Kryten bakes bread, the Cat bedazzles a lot of face masks, Rimmer hoards toilet paper, and everyone learns some things about themselves.

    Summary

    It's his reflection. Lan Wangji can look at it for as long as he wants. It's just boring to do so. Who really likes staring at their reflection, anyway? It's normal to finish your mirror-related tasks as quickly as possible and then move on.

    Lan Wangji attempts to move on, and the itch under his skin climbs all the way up into his skull to attack his brain. He watches his reflection as his posture shifts, his shoulders softening and curling in slightly, one of his hips cocking to add a curve to his spine. He lets his hand settle lightly on his hip, drawing more attention to the curve, and twists his torso so there's more of a contrast between the indent of his waist and the sway of his hip, tipping his head so his hair drapes further down over his shoulder. He meets his own eyes and for just an instant he sees someone else, someone softer, someone prettier—

    Heart hammering, Lan Wangji rips himself away from the mirror and towels off his hair with shaking hands.

    Or: Lan Zhan learns how to be happy.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Great portrayal of Nie Huaisang, and having Lan Xichen there as an outside observer adds a really interesting tension that makes it more compelling than a straightforward canon-compliant piece would have been.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.

    In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action?

    Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.

    TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.

    Summary

    Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”

     

    “Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."


    In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Wow this surprised me. A thoughtful and refreshingly direct commentary on colonial violence and its afterlife. The characters of ATLA are well-utilized to show different perspectives and experiences of grief and horror after such loss, all while mundane life marches on, determined to ignore what it can and maintain its status quo. It’s calmly, quietly devastating and a powerful continuation of the original story’s themes. Idk man, this fic really hit for me - it articulates the ongoing weight of colonialism on those it touches so gracefully and with painful clarity. It’s always wonderful to find a fanwork that enhances the original text like this.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua goes to take a self-indulgent peek at his baby protagonist son and gets a kick to the shrivelled heart for his troubles. He gave up on changing the story years ago! Yet he finds himself helping his protagonist son's adoptive mother anyway. Just this one change won't matter too much, right?

    One little change leads to more. Shang Qinghua never meant to care, but he becomes invested in making sure that his new family survives the looming plot. With the changes to the world cascading around him, with his position as a traitor pulling him between his sect and a certain ice demon, and with the protagonist growing up so quickly, how is one displaced author meant to ensure that everything turns out all right?

    A Pre-Canon to Canon Divergence story.
