Summary
In another world, when Faroe died, Arthur didn't feel like playing anymore. He threw himself into a different line of work. In this world, he buried himself in his music, rejecting Daniel's advice and letting grief take a foothold in his mind.
In this world, Arthur heard about the King in Yellow, an otherworldly god of artists, musicians, and madness. Although his father-in-law's religion had let him down, Arthur could see himself devoted to this one...

Summary
Charon knew there was something wrong with the Styx before any of his peers saw it. The waters of the river sank just a few fingers lower than normal, his oar hit the bottom more often… So much was going on, but he lacked the words to tell anyone who might listen. After all, the dead still needed to be transported to the underworld, and they would not stop dying just because the riverbanks were slightly dry. It still bothered him all the same.
His worries were realized when Charon's ferry ran aground, unable to fulfill its purpose. Only then did Cthonic and Olympian deities alike begin to believe there was a problem. When the Styx ran completely dry, Charon and Hermes were tasked with finding out what had happened.
The trek could only lead to one place: the source of the River Styx.

Summary
"Thanatos, do you want some help sleeping?"
Death does not need help... except, he did. Does. Maybe. Than can't tell anymore, and perhaps something of that bleeds through in his expression. Most find him hard to read, but Hypnos has been with Thanatos all his life.
"Let me just give you one night's rest, with some good dreams. Maaaaybe, something with your crush?" It's a tease, but that indefinable something in Than's chest falls, crashing into place with horrifying clarity.
Death is in love.

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.

Summary
It's a holdover from his old body, his old identity. Sometimes his blunt little human teeth ache to bite. To rend, to tear into flesh and set his jaw and just rip.

Summary
"War's an ugly thing," you tell her once; the stars are thick in the sky, smell of summer heat fading yet, the torchlight and victory feast ongoing.
"How odd," she says. Her finger traces the back of your hand, light as the secret in her smile, hotter than any brand. "You never make it seem that way."
“I assure you, it is only the company,” you say. “You have a gift.”

Summary
Sleep lacked for nothing. He had a fulfilling job, a kind but strict boss, a soft bed waiting for him on his days off, at least one friend in the form of the realm’s rebellious prince, a friendly relationship with the realm’s most beautiful and commanding fury, and a brother who cared enough to visit once in a while. Realistically, he had everything he could ask for. Yet, as he thickened the lines of a bat he had just sketched into the decorative border he was constructing, his mind drifted to the last dream he had traveled in. The warmth of the fire and the loving gaze of the mother as she looked upon her sons.
He remembered the mortal mother’s eyes and his heart ached. He tried to imagine Thanatos laughing with him, but the image left him empty.
At the end of his shift a strange voice called out to him, beckoning him to the elder sigil in the back of the administrative chamber. Perhaps his extended family could help him find what was missing.
