    Summary

    "You were a train wreck when we met. I wasn’t stressing the details.”

    “Seems like a detail most women would stress.”

    “You had a day job, too. And we didn’t really have anything to be afraid of yet.”

    Daniel walks aimlessly around the apartment as she talks. He tries to look at his photos, posters and knick-knacks with an outside eye. Who was this guy, really?

    “You always joked about it,” Alice concedes. “But I think on some level you knew what you were doing."

    "Did I?" Daniel wonders aloud. "Because I definitely sold a piece where I interviewed a gay hustler about what it was like being a gay hustler."

    Absolutely fantastic little character study, wonderful characterization for everyone involved, broke my heart and hugged it back together.

    Also I’ve never had a three-word question murder me in broad daylight in a public square before. Bravo. Killing certain characters with hammers just a lil bit.

    "It's not like that," the green-eyed one says. He slides an arm behind your back, an almost fatherly motion. "We're here to help you."

    "Help?" A wheezing laugh escapes before you can stop yourself. "You two in the miracle business or some shit like that?" You toss your hand in the air scornfully. "Gonna raise the dead?"

    Workskin for all your original TMA transcript needs! Modeled after the unofficial transcripts archive, I made it as similar as I could. Looks best on desktop but still reads fine on mobile. Formatted example using text from the show in the first chapter, work skin and full html in the second.
    Feel free to use and edit however you want. Have fun!

    Summary

    This is a tutorial on how to use different fonts on Ao3, how to make them in different sizes and how to make them colored as well.
    It also contains two ready-to-use codes to give your fonts a gradient effect. There are both the code for the linear gradient effect and the code for the radial gradient effect.
    CHAPTER 2 contains the visual examples of every font that you find in chapter 1.
    WARNING: all the codes in this guide were tested on a computer. I can't guarantee the effect when the work they are applied to is read on a mobile phone.

    “We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”

    —--------

    Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

    Absolutely wild ride, cannot recommend it enough. Surreal atmospheric mystery fic with the most satisfying conclusion possible.

    Also, having the “gaslighting” and “enthusiastic consent” tags right next to each other is peak Devil’s Minion.

    Summary

    Daniel didn’t know the history of the bath, but he probably would someday.

    One day, his curiosity would get the better of him and he’d go digging to find the fossilised pieces of Armand’s past and start putting them together like palaeontologists do with dinosaur bones. And like them he wouldn’t get it right first try but it’s not like he would stop trying.

    And the narrative where Armand was upset by the bath made more sense.

    The actual fact, that Armand was sure of, was that he could have gone through with the bath and given Daniel no clues at all about any of his prior experiences if Daniel hadn’t asked Armand to affirm that he wanted it.

    That had been the distressing part.

    *

    OR: Daniel treats Armand nicely enough that Armand starts wondering if the way people treated him in the past wasn't good enough.
