    Fandom Hollow Knight (Video Games)

    25 Dec 2024

    Summary

    Two vessels, two timelines, two chances.

    In one universe, the Pale King's foresight shows him the past. In another, it shows him the future. This difference causes a butterfly effect no one could have predicted. In one universe, a Vessel lives, and everything proceeds as it has been: completely FUBAR. In another, a Vessel is killed, another is born, and the situation is still completely FUBAR, but for a completely different set of reasons.

    EDIT: FOYN (AKA Fyn) here to clarify, both our stories share a root universe and a lot of their lore, but things do diverge, with growingCataclysm's story taking place in my AU. So, NSBV is an AU of an AU essentially. growingCataclysm's story starts somewhere during NSHK 20th chapter, but events began to diverge in the background of NSBV before then. Not all lore elements are the same, though they are similar.

    Our stories do not interact with each other otherwise, and though NSHK does not strictly need to be read in order to understand NSBV, it does provide a lot of the background details and some context. NSHK is completely independent from NSBV and will not be interacting with the plotline of NSBV, aside from maybe an easter-egg or cameo Stan-Lee-style.

    Summary

    “Hello dickhead,” hisses Nagini. "I am here to report your location and abysmally boring daily life back to Tom so he can find a way to kill you faster and more painfully. At least then he’ll give me more rabbits, because hunting is a pain in the arse and those nimble little pieces of shit are bloody tiring to catch.”

    Harry stops weeding Aunt Petunia’s lawn in favour of staring at the giant python in the garden hedge next to him.

     

    It’s the holidays after the Triwizard Tournament, Nagini hates this whole spy business, and Harry makes an unexpected friend.

    Kudo number 10,020 on this incredible work of art. I'm dismayed it's abandoned, and if I can find the time I might take a crack at this story myself given the "Up for Adoption" tag.

    A Complete Guide to 'Limited HTML' on AO3 by

    Fandoms: No Fandom  

    31 Oct 2025

    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.

    Five Pebbles gets a hobby by

    Fandoms: Rain World (Video Game)  

    17 Jul 2024

    Summary

    Five Pebbles is frustrated. He's tired of searching for the solution, tired of trying over and over again, and angry at his creators for leaving him behind to finish their works.

    Usually he'd turn to Seven Red Suns, but a temporary communications issue ensures the iterator is unavailable at a critical moment. With little choice he turns to the only iterator left he can think of.

    NSH: Speaking entirely seriously, you need a hobby.

    (In which Pebble's 'Bugs in a maze' talk happens with Sig, hobbies are more fascinating than he realises, and eventually slugcats can into space)

    Five Pebbles seeks life advice from NSH instead of SRS, resulting in FP starting a space program. Highly recommended.

    Centuries ago, a crater opened under the Capital. Fifty years ago, the Citadel sank and Qurio swarmed from the ruins. Today, the battle against the cause of that calamity does not go as planned.

    Summary

    Five Pebbles is consumed by his own Rot, and dies. Or, that's what he assumed would happen, but instead he wakes again, bound to the cycle, trapped in a body that is not his own, and perhaps this is his solution: a mobile body, capable of bringing him down to the Void Sea, where he can finally, finally, find his peace.

    But his so-called sister has never been able to just let him rest.

    (Pebbles, Moon, and the Artificer: a story about surviving, old mistakes, and the families built in the strangest of places.)
