Summary
The joyous papacy of Innocent XIV has no place for Aldo Bellini. He knows the worst of himself—knows he should, rightly, be cast aside. And yet, he is still so terribly hungry.
Exiled with his worst enemy, desperate for what he can’t even name, he is caught between Venice and Rome, the sinner he is and the saint he wants to be.

Summary
“You are a gifted nurse, my dear,” Agnes says, eyes closed, and Shanumi looks at her fondly. Agnes’s hand lies limp, palm down, on the couch at her side; Shanumi reaches down to squeeze it.
“I know,” Shanumi says lightly, trying for humor.
But Agnes turns her hand so their palms meet. “You deserve to be treated with the same care in return.”

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
“It’s called -” Francis huffed into the phone, commended his soul to a god he wasn’t quite sure he still believed in. “Right now, it’s called…” He sighed. “It’s called Barrow’s Baking Boys.”
When Francis tried out for what he thought was Bake Off, he didn't expect to end up on a knock-off run by an aging baker desperate for a legacy. But now he's here, trying to keep up with the younger bakers and their flashy piping, avoid the eyes of cameras that only seem to catch him at his worst, and do his best not to be distracted by that posh bastard with the perfect hair.Ten weeks, twelve contestants, two hundred and twenty five bakes.
One winner.
Let the first season of Barrow's Baking Boys Begin!

Summary
Night time was spy time; in darkness the key to every code seemed closer at hand. If only one could just step around the next corner before the harsh light of mundane day returned and the shabbiness of the sorry, striving world was again laid brightly bare, perhaps one could find the truth.
London, 1964: the height of the Cold War. MI6 officer Francis Crozier is assigned to handle a new agent.
