    Summary

    The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.

    This is a collection of oneshots that all fit into the same universe, but posted in no particular order. Updated when the muse strikes me.

    Alternate summary, according to TV Tropes: A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging.

    Summary

    Tommy wrote the letter on a whim. A half-baked idea to simply get the actor's attention.

    He didn't expect a response.

    Nor a family-

    ____________

    Or, Tommy is studying the history of cinema when he notices something strange. An extra appearing through films spanning over a century. A blonde haired man who never ages a day. Through a scuffed plan, he writes the actor a letter.

    Phil responds.

    Or, or, Phil is living his best life as an immortal movie enthusiast, when a gremlin child barrels into his life via fanmail.

    Summary

    “Grian, hold him still, I’ll break his bloody nose for you—” Joel offered, bouncing faintly on the balls of his feet with astonishing balance and coordination considering he had far outdrank Jimmy tonight.

    “Don’t—” Grian gasped out, finally managing to flip himself on top of his assailant, hair mussed and glasses knocked off. They’d gone skittering (thankfully not into the street) and Jimmy stooped to pick them up and tuck them in his pocket for lack of anything better to do. The avian (and it was another avian Jimmy saw now— one that had dark wings with flashes of bright white, that Jimmy couldn't make out very well when the person was trying to bite Grian) was swearing profusely, blonde head held to the sidewalk, and feet trying to twist and kick Grian. Presumably in the crotch, although it looked like he’d hit whatever he could reach. “It’s a kid Joel, for fucks sake,”

    “I’ll hit a kid,” Joel said uncertainly, eyes squinting. “...How old?”

    “I’m thirty fuckface!” The kid managed to get his face clear of the ground, finally bit Grian, and the two went rolling apart.

    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

    Nothing much changes between 1985 and 1995, except for everything else.

    But getting older is for other, less remarkable people.
