    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

    After the S4-E6 election/marriage, pre-S5. Some months into Tommy and Lizzie's marriage.

     

    This frequently absent father and husband considers that he often does his best work in extreme circumstances: time pressure, resource constraints, situational uncertainty, high stakes, and gross emotional wounding. He knows what to do, doesn't he?

    No matter what sort of internal spiralling disaster cascade he's busily ignoring inside. No matter what badly considered spur of the moment decisions he makes to get through the moment that he might pay for later. No matter what—

    Summary

    “What I’m saying, Mr. Shelby, is that you and the Peaky Blinders think with your cocks,” Alfie says. “You don’t kill where you fuck. Solid course of action, really, I’m all for it. So. If you want me and you to be pals again, how about you let me fuck you? You know. Just as insurance.”

    Summary

    S6-E1. Commencing immediately after a short period of photogenic grovelling in the mud, and moving through the four-year gap.

    No. No old age. Only this.

    Summary

    Tommy is not sure how he’s ended up here. On the surface it appears like a dream, the penthouse in Soho, the successful husband who never misses an opportunity to spoil him, a life full of expensive dinners and parties. But beneath the glimmering surface lies a darkness unlike anything else.

    One late night in an overcrowded ER, he meets someone who finally sees him. And from that moment on, something changes.

    Sequel to 'All for Nothing'
