Summary
What has Viktor done to deserve this? At what point did Jayce come to value him so highly? Somehow, this bond of theirs grew so gradually, so subtly, escaping Viktor’s notice as it entwined itself into every facet of their lives, strangling all else with its roots until only its verdant bloom remained.
“Let me go, Jayce.”
The grip on him tightens. “I won’t.”
No. He’s made that quite clear. Viktor lacks the strength to shake him off; if he tried, Jayce would surely release him, but to rob Jayce of his sole source of comfort would not be right, nor good, and so Viktor waits. A minute passes, then two, then four.
The rune swallows them up, and abandons them in an unfamiliar land. Is this not what they wanted? With naught but the clothes on their backs, they are left to wander. To wonder.

Summary
The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.
They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.
Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern. For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?

An Exorcism in Hex Hollow by utena_tenjou

Summary
An Exorcism in Hex Hollow; or, On the Third Day Fill the Grave
It’s 2009 in rural North Georgia and Jayce Talis is running from something. He is running into the mountains, the prodigal son fleeing home in exile. There’s something screaming in the woods and something else whispering underneath his father’s house. He’s going home, God help him, he’s going home. And Viktor, his once best friend now a near stranger, works his grandmother’s farm and follows the old folk magic ways, and when he dreams of sinking into the black mud of his own grave, he sometimes wakes on misty mornings with his face pressed, cold and numb, into the tilled soil.
There’s something ancient and alive unearthed in the furrowed fields of Piltover County. There’s a circle drawn in horse’s blood. Foxes surround a lonely gravesite in the mountains. Gunshots echo from the farmhouse in the valley and poppets made from twigs and hair hang in the trees. There’s a devil that stalks the crossroads of Hex Hollow and it’s got a taste for Viktor’s blood – and Jayce might be the only thing that can save him from damnation.

Summary
He had never hesitated before.
He had also never taken the life of someone whose eyes he could see. Whose sweat he could smell. Whose fear and helplessness in the form of blown out pupils rimmed in hazel bore into his very soul. He thought he’d excised that part of himself long ago.
He thought this might be what mercy felt like.
Mech pilots from warring nations crash onto an uncharted planet. Jayce and Viktor, once enemies, now must work together for their own survival and their way home. What was once a violent entanglement quickly evolves into something new, beautiful, and equally terrifying.

Summary
The Mage shudders before he can force a proper front of stoicism. Scolds himself, for the slip of weakness, instantaneously. His defenses should not falter this easily. Not now, at least. Not after so long of bearing the weight of letting Jayce go, of carrying the resolve to do so over and over again. This is merely another loss. The final of countless, even. At least, he prays that much to all gods that may be inclined to listen.
This should be the easiest farewell he's ever bidden a Jayce, in theory.
Or,
A universe where the Mage allows himself to want for one more day.

Summary
Jayce didn’t come to teach at Piltover University to develop a minor (read: major) obsession with Viktor, but here he is. The man is infuriatingly brilliant, dryly condescending, and has probably already dismissed Jayce as an overeager idiot. Fine. Jayce can live with that. What he can’t live with is the fact that he keeps seeking Viktor out anyway—asking too many questions, reading too many of his papers, lingering in his presence like some lovesick grad student. This isn’t a crush. It’s an intellectual challenge. At least, that’s what he’s telling himself.
or
Jayce Talis, a young and ambitious professor, gets an opportunity he didn’t dare dream about - teaching at the Piltover Tech University. There, he meets Viktor - a slightly older, respected and extremely reserved colleague of his. Jayce is somewhat intrigued with the man, his studies in particular. He finds the way Viktor’s brain works fascinating - like his opinions and theories are somehow a puzzle piece that would complete Jayce’s own research. Jayce’s academic interest, though, turns into infatuation and full-blown obsession with the man rather than his studies.

Summary
Lord Talis has an assistant he is scandalously close to. Whispers follow them through the halls of London’s elite—of experiments that push the bounds of decency, of midnight excursions and a patronage far too intimate to be proper.
But Jayce cares little for propriety, not when Viktor’s health wanes, not when the supply of bodies dwindles and the lungs he so desperately studies decay too quickly beneath his scalpel.or
Victorian London, 1888. Surgeon Jayce Talis and his assistant Viktor have long since crossed the line of moral decency in pursuit of progress. As the city tightens its grip on the dead, desperation drives them to new measures—darker, bloodier, irreversible. But Jayce has never been one to balk at sacrifice, not when it comes to Viktor. Not when it comes to his love.

Summary
Jayce Talis is a jaded reporter with a sharp tongue, a tape recorder, and an unhealthy fascination with cults.
The case seems simple: a missing girl, a commune deep in the woods, a story waiting to be written.But the leader greets him like he has been waiting for him his whole life. Smiles like he knows him. Watches like he’s remembering something.
And around them, the trees whisper. The dirt breathes.
And the orchard is blooming.

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.

Carefully, Jayce takes one of his hands in his own, feeling a charge lying under Viktor’s skin. He feels cool to the touch and in a moment of clarity, Jayce’s finger brushes over where Viktor’s pulse should be. He feels it there, steady and thrumming under his touch.
They were alive.
