Summary
“Uh. Hi?”
Bood chanced a glance from his new seat partner towards the front of the plane, where he could see Roz’s curls peeking over the seat back three rows up.
Shit.
Fuck.
He was not equipped for domestic disputes with three hours still left in the air.

Summary
There hadn’t been a whole lot of tape, back then, not on a bunch of kids who were likely to get chewed up and spit out by the KHL, but Rozanov was a special case – his agent had clearly known his aim was for North American leagues, and there’d been a few tapes leaked here and there of the fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old phenom who had more trick plays up his sleeve than Yuna, personally, thought was true hockey. The video of his spin on the Michigan had made the rounds in David’s McGill email chain, and Yuna had tipped her chin up and sworn up and down he’d be a one-trick pony who’d be flat on his ass the first time he tried that shit in the pros.
Shane had downloaded the video to his desktop and studied the tape like he did old games of Scott Hunter.

Summary
The worst part, really, was how sure he’d been. How he’d asked his father a million questions about the ice - how it formed, what time of year you could start checking it, what key weather factors led to Good Ice, what, exactly, was good enough to skate on - and his father had indulged him because Shane had never had a focus that wasn’t at least indirectly related to hockey and it hadn’t seemed remotely out of the norm for Shane to be asking.
He’d pulled up an internet search to triple check, and he’d been positive – absolutely positive – the ice could withstand at least twice his weight.
He’d miscalculated, somewhere.

Summary
Dispatch goes down on a Tuesday afternoon. Full system failure, absolute FUBAR of a situation, and Tommy makes a Buffy reference out of earshot of Gerrard that nevertheless makes Deluca blow out a massive sigh, an arm circling up around Tommy’s shoulders as he speaks under his breath.
“Stop borrowing trouble you don’t need, probie.”

Or: Tommy meets Abby on a call. It takes him a while to admit it's not a love story.

Summary
Buck slides a beer Tommy's way and fights the urge to duck his head. "So, I just thought, maybe, if you wanted to, we could -."
"I'm seeing someone," Tommy says, and blinks, and stares at the label of his bottle.
"Oh," Buck says, and shoves the hurt down deep where it won't inconvenience anyone. That's - it's been - been longer than they were ever together, hasn't it? And, yeah, after that comment in the helicopter maybe Buck had had this expectation that Tommy would wait for him, but that wasn't fair to assume, was it? It's - they're - "I... I'm happy for you."
Tommy gives him a strange look.

Buck and Tommy decide to tell each other what they need.

Summary
Evan sits back on his haunches, unweighting Tommy's legs, and he feels like maybe he could float away from here, unmoored as he is from the bed, from the situation. He's in trouble now, or he will be in a few seconds, but for just this moment he's removed from the forces of gravity, and it feels nice.
"Tommy," Evan says, a tremor in his voice, and that's enough to bring Tommy rocketing back down to Earth. "That wasn't a sext, was it."
Tommy makes a decision. Buck meets him halfway.

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
After Chris leaves, people treat him like a grieving father. Which, maybe he is, and on some level he’s grateful for the mutual agreement to not leave him to his thoughts in that awful, awful empty house. But God is it a lot. He remembers this treatment after he got shot, but this is different. Eddie deserves this pain. This is because of his own fuck-ups.
And it’s not like he’s going to do anything drastic, he’s not—he had his meltdown, a few years ago, and he’s not like that any more. He’s better.
He texts Kim at one in the morning on a Tuesday.
or
Eddie Diaz and intimacy do not get along. Eddie Diaz and sex, on the other hand.
