maybe the real chain attack was the friends we made along the way by novalotypo

Summary
A failed prototype was a disappointment, obviously. It was a bigger disappointment still considering that all the others stepped off the roof with noble dreams of taking to the sky and ended up as a lot of hassle for elementary physics on the ground. When someone hallucinates they can fly, people tend to look away; when someone dreams they can fly, the lawn chairs come out. It was the same mess in the end, with the added disadvantage that you’d handily and publicly crush every dream adjacent to yours. And, er, other dreamers, if you were really ambitious.
But the Enemypedia was being filled, one comically large enemy at a time. In convoluted and moronic ways, that stupid book was slowly but surely driving the machine forward. It had spawned a lot of questionable ambitions, all of which ended up in the scrap heap, but the book was being filled.
In which the NPCs of Colony 9 chance upon the Enemypedia, and in attempting to do their part to fix the world come to realize a whole lot of unfortunate things about it.
And the railgun. There's also a railgun.

Summary
So here you are: two heroes who woke up on the other side of the day and realized that heroism is a human creation and that the world spins on. So hey, Pixy. If the world doesn’t love you, then who does? There’s a man following in your shadow, ready to mark down your final words and bury you with dignity you aren’t sure you deserve. So hey, Pixy. How do you deserve it? How do you die with dignity? How do you give him your final words?
I think I love you. Can I hold your hand?
Don’t mess it up, Pixy. You’re still heroes today.
He breathes out a slow, steady breath. It’s cold, he says. Let’s go back.
You swallow your heart. You breathe, too. “Yeah,” you say. “Let’s go.”
In which we are already living in the end of the world. In which the apocalypse has come and we are irrevocably alive. So what now. What then.
So hey: will you survive the future, for as long as you can bear?

Summary
“It is not a sin to want to take control of your life.”
“No, but it is to do so by taking control of someone else’s. Is that what you’re getting at?”
Personas embody rebellion. They manifest from the fucking clashing of tectonic plates. An earth-shattering catastrophe localized around an individual who has had enough. You don’t have to be good. You don’t even have to be special. You just have to root yourself to the ground and claw your heart out, bleeding and breathing and hungry.
You want to break me? Then come and try.
The words die in Goro’s throat. “Who knows,” he says, turning away.
In which there are a million ways to live and die, and the stagehands are arguing with each other. The curtain's halfway down but the show's not over. A boy peddles offstage silence, trying to sell his story while the theater empties out.
Or: Goro Akechi makes do with what he has, what he is, and what he will be.

Summary
“Oh, you’re lovely,” Akira breathes. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you as many second chances as you desire.”
Goro tries to create distance out of nothing. His back presses against the shaking bones of the carriage. Akira’s fingertips never leave his skin. “I—I didn’t ask for—whatever you have to give me.”
“No, but you did plead,” Akira says softly. “You want your life back. I can grant you that. I’m no arbiter of life and death, space and time, but regret is a potent thing.” A cold finger travels down Goro’s neck, coming to a rest between his collarbones. Akira’s smile is gentle but distant, an astronomer enraptured with the light of a galaxy long dead. “One more chance. Just one. And afterward, if you tell me just one more, it’ll be yours.”
Eighteen years and eight months, and Goro is still a fool.
In which there are a million ways to live and die, and Goro Akechi has a thousand second chances.

small town, big flame by novalotypo

Summary
Duel Monsters was one of those games: the kind you’d definitely heard of somewhere, whether it be on the news or in ads or in an article about horrible incidents involving lots of collateral damage.
If you were lucky, you’d have Yugi’s phone number on hand and could avoid troublesome explosions altogether. Not because he had a particularly good track record when it came to not destroying the city, but because he was friendly and if worst came to worst it was still easier to duck under a Black Burning than a Blue Stream of Destruction.
This was Johanna’s current dilemma. One could even call it a conundrum.
In which an exorcist, a chair-wielding accountant, and the King of Games walk into a haunted town.

adorably endearing fic which threw me for an absolute loop bc the author is 100% an ottawa local. you know someone's local when they a) refer to the canal by its component areas (i.e., dow's lake), b) shoutout the rink of dreams, c) complain about how canal seasons have been shorter than usual except last year where it was buckfuck cold, d) reminisce about skating to school. author knows BALL

Summary
Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...
Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.
(Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

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.
