    Summary

    You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.

    This is the tutorial that answers that.

    A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

    Summary

    If there is one thing Louis Tomlinson despises, it's the rich people he serves nearly every night of the week. As a glorified waiter, he's forced into a room with posh pricks nearly every single night. It's at these events that he learns of the existence of one Harry Styles, the richest twenty-something-year-old in all of London, known for his detached nature and dreamy attitude. He's as arrogant as the rest of them, even if he keeps going out of his way to defend the staff at every turn. Louis wants nothing to do with him.

    Until he walks in on Harry Styles having a panic attack in the restroom.

    Summary

    Louis: tall is nice, it usually comes with… other proportional assets

    Harry’s cock gave a traitorous twitch against his thigh. The bluntness of it, the clinical yet deeply suggestive phrasing, sent a flush of heat across his skin. He swallowed heavily, his mouth dry.

    Harry: I’ve never had any complaints about the proportions.

    The typing bubble appeared and vanished several times, as if Louis was savoring the response, crafting his reply with deliberate care.

    Louis: When you’re hard, where does the tip hit? Your navel? Higher?

    Harry’s eyes dropped from the screen to his own body. Tentatively, he brought his hand to his waist, his fingers brushing his navel, then tracing an imaginary line upward. The mental image, combined with Louis’s cold, technical phrasing, was devastatingly arousing.

    You: Higher.

    He sent the single word, feeling exposed.

    Louis: That’s nice, babe. Lots for me to play with then? D’you think it will fit?

    Summary

    A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox.

    Good afternoon,
    I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft.
    Thank you for your consideration.
    Best,
    Harry Styles

     

    Or the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.
