    Summary


    Yet I feel desire
    Deep craving—heat
    Hunger
    And I fear the day I may
    have no choice but to
    let it feed.

    Gortash stared at the poem, at a complete loss for words. And for emotions. And then, the smug grin tugged at his lips. ... She could claim all she wanted that she was no longer the girl he lay in that graveyard with all those years ago. It was clear that in ways, she indeed was.

    Durge could talk all she wanted about being nothing but a scion of Bhaal ... and claim until she ran out of breath that it was all she was, all she would ever be...

    Ophelia the poet, the lover of life and nature, and the girl who craved a soft touch was still alive in there. And she wanted him.

    Gortash tightened his fist around the parchment, crumpling it as he held it to his chest and stared out the tower window, still grinning.

    And he wanted her.

    ----

    The pre-canon backstory of my Durge, Ophelia. For all the devotion she thinks she should have to Bhaal, she is just as equally full of female rage and desire to be free and to love the childhood friend who treated her like a person when no one else did.

    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

    Work skin for different types of found documents, for people who are into that kind of thing.

    Update 1 December 2022: Added parameters for links within div sections. Previously, applying this work skin on top of the Reversi site skin could make links difficult to read.

    Summary

    Dr. Samantha Parker, PhD, did not intend to become the primary mental health provider for an entire small coastal town. She just had availability, they had insurance, and ClearPath Wellness's matching algorithm apparently has a sense of humor.

    This is the story of five sessions, one therapist, and the particular irony of being very good at seeing other people clearly.

    Sam is fine, by the way. She's told several people.

    Summary

    It had been 10 years since the Netherbrain was defeated. The city had been safe, generally speaking.
    But the heroes of the Gate had been tainted by power, and they had changed, for they craved it like they had never before.
    So when the Brain starts rebelling again, the once-good party must team up... again- to try and stop it (for their own means, of course.)

    Basically, this is just a fanfic of if everyone turned evil because I love the evil endings <3
