    Summary

    Stan winces and tries to rub away the pain in his temples. He wishes he could go back to sleep. Ford’s been snoring since the instant the sun dipped below the horizon, and Stan’s not usually jealous of his brother’s sleep schedule, but tonight’s the exception. 

    The memory hits all at once, like a train or a bus or a whole fucking jet airliner crashing directly into Stan’s brain at top speed, on fire and alarms blaring and world-endingly bright. He doesn’t even register his knees hitting the deck, or the strangled noise that tears its way out of his throat.

    Summary

    And okay, fine, Tim can admit it: his parents paying off a school official to circumvent social services just to see him was sketchy at best—probably illegal at worst. They really shouldn’t have done it. Bruce and Alfred would be furious to find out that they had. Not to mention Jason, who would go absolutely apeshit.

    But–

    But it was also just really fucking sweet of them.

    Tim hasn’t felt this loved, this cherished, this fought for and desired by his parents in years.

    Doesn’t he at least owe it to them to hear them out?

    ---

    Three months into Tim’s foster placement with the Waynes, Jack and Janet Drake decide they want back into their son’s life.

    Summary

    “So, Mark,” the therapist says, “what do you want to talk about today?”

    Mark looks up from his lap.

    They’re not an AM therapist, but they do specialize in atypicals, like Joan used to. They’re not AM, but they do have his file, know everything about him that the institute ever dragged out of him.

    The therapist looks at him expectantly. Mark realizes he’s a few beats too late answering their question.

    I’m here because everyone in my life keeps telling me that I’m fucked up, and I know they’re right.

    I’m here because something happened to me that I still can’t put a finger on three years later.

    Mark clears his throat. “I’m here because there are things that I can’t talk about with a normal therapist.” Or anyone, really.

    (Or, Mark finally goes to therapy.)

    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

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    ---

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.
