Let us Dwell in Fair Ithilien and There Make a Garden by materialism, sparklyslug
Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Jul 2025
Summary
'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.
Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'
—“The Steward and the King,” The Return of the King Book Six Chapter Five, JRR Tolkien

Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to view fics' work skin rules;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!Full code is included.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

Summary
Jayce’s eyes snap to him, and Viktor almost gasps. There’s something wrong. Well, obviously, your lab partner’s just been regurgitated from a roiling ball of energy with a beard and a massive fuck-off hammer, thank you for the observation, Viktor - but there’s something wrong with Jayce, with his eyes. He looks crazed. He looks horrified, and all the more horrified the longer he stares.
“No,” Jayce breathes. He staggers forward, catching himself with his hammer. “No. No, no, no, it can’t be you. He didn’t mean- no.”
Viktor holds out a hand like he’s soothing a feral cat. “Are you alright? I can help you. Just- just let me stand.”
He picks up his cane, leveraging himself from the ground. Jayce keeps trembling.
“Not you, that’s not- that’s not what he said, not you, I can’t kill you.”
--
Jayce is sent back to a time before it all fell apart.

Summary
"I know it's my imagination," Jayce spoke quietly, close to his ear, "but I can almost feel it." He rubbed his nose against the line of Viktor's throat, like an oversized cat. "The letter, on the inside." The cold metal ring of the collar was pressing into Viktor's clavicle.
Viktor felt a sudden surge of affection, so deep and overwhelming that it wrenched his breath away. For Jayce, who was weighing him down against the mattress with a comfortably even pressure, always so careful around his hipbone - even though it must have been straining to perch that way. Jayce, trusting him enough to hand him the reins, both literally and metaphorically, and press against him in the near-darkness. Jayce, who had cried after being given proof of Viktor's commitment, and did not even think to deny the fact when teased about it, still wholly unashamed and giddy. Jayce, tonight, with his face buried in Viktor's neck, hard against his hip, flushed and soft-spoken.
I love you.
The words were on his lips, as he stared at the tiled ceiling with Jayce in his arms, breathing against him.
I love you so much I think my heart might burst.
