    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

    Steve is having a hard time adjusting to the new normal, after everything that went down. He doesn't want to bother his friends with his problems, though, when they've got so much weight on their shoulders already.

    Steve stumbles on an alternate version of Hawkins, where none of it ever happened. Everyone’s alive, his headaches are gone, his friends actually want to hang out with him, and he’s… happy.

     

    (The party has to fight another monster. But this one doesn't prey on people's fears. It preys on their deepest desires.)

    It starts as a routine. Steve drives past all their houses, just to make sure they're home. And then it's not so easy to sleep any more without checking and rechecking.

    Eddie catches him out.

    Summary

    “You’re a coward, you can’t say shit to people’s faces. You only talk behind their backs like a little bitch,” Eddie said, accentuating his words like the drama queen he was.

    “And you’re a bastard, Munson. What, you get off on this or something?” Steve asked rudely.

    “Oh yes,” Eddie grinned, getting closer, testing Steve. “I get off on this shit, I lie awake at night thinking about Steeeve Harrington calling me a filthy fag while I touch myself–”

    Steve pushed him into the wall, so hard he hit his head.

    “Maybe your minions find this funny, but they’re not here so drop the fucking act, got it? I’m not participating in your games, freak."

    “You’re so full of yourself, you think everyone wants to fuck you all the time,” Eddie spat. They were close by Steve’s will now, backing Eddie into the wall, now he was finally taller even if it was a little more than an inch with his hair.

    “Like you don’t,” Steve scoffed.
