Summary
Prince Arthur Pendragon's secondment with the RAF has come to an end. While he wishes to sign up for a second term, his father is against it. With few other viable options aside from taking up ceremonial duties, he enlists to become a civilian air ambulance pilot. On the team is Dr Merlin Emrys. From then on Arthur's life changes in more ways than one.

Summary
“You loved him.”
It isn’t a question, nor a judgement. Leon, voice familiar and ever calm, simply states it like the fact it is. Merlin works his throat, isn’t sure he could speak around the lump in it even if his voice were not hoarse from long weeks of his self-imposed silent vigil. Instead he nods. He doesn’t have the strength to deny it in the wake of so much raw grief and crushed hope. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Leon nod too.
Merlin doesn’t know how much time passes before either of them speak again but it is long enough that Leon, without magic to sustain him, begins to shiver. Merlin opens his mouth to speak and finds that he cannot make words come. He clears his throat to try again, to tell Leon to leave this place before he catches his death, but he is interrupted as the knight commander speaks once more.
“I did, too.”

Arthur barely registers the bullet through his knee. It's the second bullet that does it: hits him square in the chest, takes him clean off his feet.

Summary
Leon braces a hand above her shoulder, trapping her between his chest and the door to her chambers. “None of the other men you have been betrothed to have been me.”
“You do think so highly of yourself, Sir,” Mithian quips, though her breath catches in her throat as he leans down towards her, further pressing into her space.
“Only because I’ve received no complains, Highness.” His lips draw the words atop the fluttering pulse behind her ear before Leon sets his lips upon her skin at last, dragging them down the curve of her neck and across the top of her exposed shoulder. She does not moan, doesn’t make a single sound, if only because there is no air left in her lungs, her body frozen between each press of his lips upon her.
. .
Or: Arthur plays matchmaker and it’s absolutely the worst idea anyone has ever heard of…right?

Summary
Percy is a Texan cowboy, all the way from the heels of his well-worn boots to the brim of his hat. A trip to New York to stay with Arthur Pendragon is simply meant to be a chance for new experiences, and some fun of the kind he is too in the closet to have at home. Along the way he meets Arthur's best friend, Merlin, and Merlin's boyfriend Gwaine. He's never seen two men so easy and sensual with each other and Percy finds himself wondering if his life will ever allow him to have something like that...

Summary
It is not a knight’s burial, not full of pomp and ceremony and the dignity which men of their station deserve. But there is barely anyone left to honor the wishes of the dead, to mourn them. And anyway, Gwaine never believed in the gods Arthur prayed to, nor did he practice the ways of Old Religion like Percival does. There was never supposed to be this, some final end; nothing to discuss or plans to be made for those left behind to follow. Percival does what he can, hopes he honors Gwaine at each step.

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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
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.

Summary
When Arthur buys a new flat, it should mean that everything in his life is slotting into place. Instead, he can’t stop going on bad dates, his sister won’t get off his back about mental health, and the cupboard doors keep mysteriously falling open.
When the ghost who haunts the flat reveals himself, Arthur decides to help him finish whatever unresolved business he has that’s keeping him from properly passing on. Once Arthur gets rid of this ghostly Merlin figure, he can go back to getting his own life in order.
Of course Merlin has a poor memory, and as Arthur tries to dig into Merlin’s life, he gets used to having a ghost around his home.
