Summary
Want to apply CSS effects (e.g.: some background color, image, or .gif) to entire sections automatically from your work skin (without having to waste precious character count within said sections)?
Wish you could adjust the font, color, highlight, alignment, etc. of the section headers themselves? Perhaps even extend the work beyond the boundaries, covering that wasted space to the sides, and even the site page header and footer regions?
No clue where to even start? Tired of trying to find which part of the work is which from peeking at other works' work skin rules, or mucking about with trial and error?
🤣 Don't Panic. 😉
Here you'll find how to aim your work skin rules at any section of your work (or combination thereof) that you want — and yes, even how to expand those effects to outside of the work area ! (Even... comments )
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome! ❤️

Summary
Tara and Gale have been inseparable since he was five. Now that her beloved child prodigy has almost turned forty, and apparently found the love of his life, what is a lone tressym to do?
Tara's (mis)adventures in Waterdeep, anchored in the setting created by Laurelli in her longfic "Quiet Affection", with the aim to expand on Tara's character and all that she gets up to when Gale and Iluviel are not looking. This story starts at the same time as chapter 18 of "Quiet Affection". Reading it is encouraged, but not necessary to fully enjoy this fic. (Seriously though, go read "Quiet Affection", it is absolutely amazing!)

Summary
So, it is in the library that Gale now sits, listening with practiced indifference, to the back and forth between his mother and Tara; Tara demands that Gale be afforded time to rest following ‘his ordeal’, whereas his mother insists he is in dire need of companionship. Gale has no inclination towards either; his initial hope of the squabble running its course on its own, however, dwindles the longer it goes on. He supposes, after-all, that having had just over two tendays without such a conversation was more than he could have hoped for.

Summary
Gale of Waterdeep and his new lover, the Seldarine drow sorcerer Anja, learn more about each other as they make love in the purely physical realm for the first time. Gale may have his secrets, but so does Anja, and they discover that their lives may have been on paths that would cross even without their abductions by the Illithid. His belief in love newly sparked, Gale must face what he will lose if he decides to obey his goddess and detonate the orb—and what will come next if he does not.
“No magic but mine,” she whispered, as without a thought she gestured something into existence—some sort of barrier that silenced the ambient sound of their companions’ voices and the distant howling of the Shadow Curse. And presumably silenced them to those outside of it. “I want you.” She slid her hand under his robe. “This skin, this flesh, this bone. I want your body this time, Gale.”
(From Chapter 3)

Summary
In which Tav believes the latest symptom of her grief is the hallucination of her lost love.
Or, Gale finds himself unexpectedly resurrected.
------
Gods, she hates him. Hates him bitterly for leaving her behind. And Gods, how she loves him, still. Enough to have dragged herself to Waterdeep, as per his wishes. Enough to have let Tara coddle her those first few days. Enough to have sobbed into Morena Dekarios’ waiting arms. Enough to speak to him every evening from the balcony he had promised they would share. Enough to have started reading each of his books, knowing his fingers had touched every page. Enough to imagine all the ways he might’ve reacted to the news of his impending fatherhood. The latter she lingers on more than she would like, for it only gives way to other, saccharine fantasies she knows will never come to fruition.
