Summary
Steve Harrington develops Hanahaki sometime between 1983 and 1984.
At first it looks harmless enough: petals, blood, tight lungs and symptoms easy to dismiss. Then the years keep happening. Nancy leaves. The Russians happen. Jonathan leaves. Vecna happens. The world almost ends.
Years of things left unsaid, endings that never stayed ended, and the slow realization that surviving has less to do with being saved and more to do with letting yourself stay. -

Somewhere between the jokes, the flirting gets real.

Summary
Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers have always existed in the same gravity well: close enough to feel the pull, never close enough to touch.
Across collapsing worlds, tarot readings, radio towers, road trips, and late-night conversations that circle everything except the truth, they keep missing each other by inches.
Some stories are about impact.
Others are about orbit.
This is a collection of moments — canon, canon-divergent, and quietly inevitable — where the distance narrows, the math changes, and gravity finally wins.- Words:

Summary
Ursa Minor is the constellation that contains Polaris—the North Star. It’s one of the few constellations that never sets, always present in the sky even when you’re not looking for it.
This series follows that idea: not just finding a fixed point, but realizing it was there all along—and choosing to follow it.The idea that sometimes the most important moment isn’t when someone leaves—
it’s when someone else realizes they’re already halfway gone.
And then chooses to follow anyway.
This series moves in three directions at once:
through absence, through recognition, and finally toward something that holds.It isn’t about saving.
It isn’t about fixing.It’s about being seen clearly, maybe for the first time, and what it means when someone doesn’t look away after that.
About what it means to become something steady in another person’s sky.
Not bright. Not loud. Just—there. Unmoving.- Words:

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
44…92…153…186…Dream counts out each and every single one of Hob’s orgasms as he spreads them across Hob's body from head-to-toe. Words become lost to Hob as he twitches and gasps and writhes in pleasure under his lover’s ministrations. Hob finally loses the count completely after two-hundred…two-hundred orgasms throb across his twitching body, creating new and unknown constellations of pleasure.
“Shall we still continue, dearheart?”

Summary
“You were trying to discourage me… from propositioning you?” Dream repeats, bewildered.
Hob sighs, and spreads out his hands. “I think we need a little background, here.”

Basically, my 1489-Hob-made-himself-look-unfuckable-on-purpose magnum opus. Inspired by the great Tumblr Hob fuckability debates of 2022.

Summary
Let it fall, let it burn to embers beneath its own hubris, let the flames eat him too so that he may repent for this, for all the things he's done.
For all the times he's lied through his teeth to his men, to his officers; his soldiers, his pawns; his friends, his family. Let him burn for all the things he's said, for all the wrongness that builds inside of him, battering against the wall of his psyche. Let him burn for the tide, for the ocean his pirate loves more than he'll ever love James.
