    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

    "Time and again, I have faced the odds. I have gone where you told me to go, fought what you told me to fight so is it too much to ask for a simple moment before you all leave me again?" A hand pressed over her chest as if she can force the anguish down, bile rising in her throat as her words ring louder. "You tell me to rest as if I can find it in an empty innroom when you are supposed to - supposed to -" The weakness of begging. She hates it, squeezing her eyes shut and pressing her trembling hand down harder. No one says anything and she chokes on a sob, the cool night air of the Crystarium stinging on her flushed cheeks.

    --

    “You can’t sleep.” Alisaie states, eyes narrowing further. “And neither can we.”

    The Warrior peeks over Alisaie’s shoulder, finding Alphinaud already sitting atop her bed. He waves a little upon seeing her, amusement clear in the curve of his smile.

    --
    The WoL needs a moment to rest after the events at the Seat of Sacrifice. And once more, following Ultima Thule.

    Summary

    (Spoilers are in this summary. You have been warned.)

    After sacrificing himself to destroy Origin and free Valisthea from Ultima’s influence, Clive wakes up in his younger body lying among the ruins of Phoenix Gate. With Ifrit under his control and the stolen powers of the other Eikon’s still at his disposal he knows that the monster he’d tried to defeat is still out there and that the world and its people are still in jeopardy. But he’s not content to allow history to play itself out as it had. Not when there’s something he can do to change it. Not when there are people he can save.
    Cid had always thought that Mythos was a story, and that Barnabas was mad for seeking it. Even madder for subjugating himself to Ultima and its false promises. But when he encounters an impossible eighth Eikon in the chamber beneath Drake’s Head and tales begin filtering back to him of a youth with the power to wield all the elements he knows he’s racing against a ticking clock. And that, if the Royalists are allowed to get their hands on him first, their entire world is doomed.
