Summary
“We’re going to fuck,” Malfoy repeats, enunciating each word clearly in that posh voice that drives Harry mad. “For a month. In every way we can think of. Then, at the end, we’re done with each other. Do you understand, Potter?”
“Yes,” Harry snaps, like he’s annoyed.
He wishes he was annoyed.

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
For Davekat Fanswap!!
This prompt was just TOO amazing to pass up:
Dave is a single 30-something looking for love. Karkat, the college kid recently hired to watch his son Dirk while Dave tries to date, is frustratingly attractive and at least ten years Dave's junior. He really should not make a move, but these tinder dates have been going nowhere fast.
Karkat is a junior in college who took this babysitting gig to make a little extra cash, but the more he sees of Dave and his dadbod, the more interested Karkat becomes in *alternate* payment methods.

“Given your bank of knowledge of humanity, which comes from my mind, I assume you know.”

Summary
John bit down with several mouths, all containing rows and rows of sharp teeth, on Arthur’s neck, the same moment he pushed a bigger tendril into Arthur’s hole. Arthur screamed and if it was because of the tendril or because of the bites, he didn’t know neither cared. He kept biting down, tasting Arthur’s blood between his many teeth as he fucked the tendril deep into Arthur.
In their room in New York, Arthur and John share a dream.

Summary
“John,” Arthur says, reaching out. His grasping hand makes contact with nothing, and he laughs as a single tentacle threads through his fingers, a parody of an embrace. “You’re back.”
“No,” John says, even as he caresses the side of Arthur’s face with a familiar hand, wooden pinkie brushing along the line of Arthur’s jaw. “I’m … I don’t know if I can return to you, Arthur.”
“What on earth are you on about?” Arthur steps closer, into the shadows. A chill skitters across his skin, gooseflesh bubbling up instantly, and he shivers as the tentacles wrap around him, keeping him close and safe. “You’re right here.”
“You’re dreaming.”
.
John, after reuniting with the King, is able to draw on the King’s powers to appear in Arthur’s dreams.

Stranding in Albany for the night, they take advantage of the opportunity and get Arthur a change of clothes and a shave -- and maybe even a movie, if time allows. After the horrors they encountered in Addison, and amidst Arthur's growing suspicion that his friend is hiding something, sometimes it's nice to have a night out on the town.

Summary
The tie is overkill, but to say as much would open the door of Arthur's mind to uncomfortable questions. This is a fragile enough arrangement.
John and Arthur do their best to maintain a bit of polite fiction.
