    Summary

    Everybody else on earth was born with a manual on How to Be. A sort of silver spoon already tucked into their mouth.

    Shane wishes he had gotten one.

    After an exhausting day of masking and overstimulation, Shane has a panic attack. He loses the ability to speak. Thankfully, Ilya is there to help him through.

    Summary

    Do you want to have a nifty way to have multiple languages in a fic:

    • Without making your readers scroll to the AN for a translation?
    • Without the text and translation sitting side by side?
    • And still make it look pretty when people download it into an EPUB or PDF format?

    Here is a solution for you. Come on babygirls, let's roll.

    (This is a HTML tutorial but I'm lowkey flirting with you by calling you babygirl occasionally because I got bored while writing this.)

    NEW UPDATE [20/3/2026]:

    • Chapter 1: Sample Usage (Excerpt from a WIP in my drafts)
      • A short character study about Griffin Harley from Babel (by R.F. Kuang). Utilizies 3 languages in multiple formats. You don't need to have read Babel to pick apart the code used.
    • Chapter 2: Basic Tutorial (same as before)
    • Chapter 3: FAQ (regarding customization and usage)

    Summary

    “If hockey was that important for geopolitics,” María deadpans, leaning across the table to stab another pelmeni with her fork. “The Chinese would’ve gotten into it by now. The Russians want international concessions, and this is a cheap trick to get it. To be completely honest—”

    She dunks the pelmeni into her bowl. It almost looks like she’s drowning it when she twists the fork, coating it in fragrant orange soup. It almost looks like it’s a thrashing animal.

    “—it’s really annoying me. From a purely tradecraft perspective, from one lawyer to another, it’s a cheap trick,” María continues, pelmeni between her teeth. “Canada isn’t even the country who’s detaining Russian arms dealers. That’s US shit. It’s fucking annoying.”

    Shane doesn’t say anything. Shane’s looking at the pictures splayed across the table, face-up, and thinking about how if this all ends here, all Shane will have to show people when they ask about Ilya are six mugshots from when he was transferred from the Moscow jail to the Siberian penal colony, where his cheeks are hollowed out and his eyes are vacant.

    Summary

    An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.
    Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A series of scenarios exploring Ilya with/from various people (primarily Shane's father) and unpacking Ilya as a character, in some of the best damn writing I've read that definitely didn't make me cry at least a couple of times!
