Summary
When a Chimera threatens a village and his father refuses to let him face the monster, Arthur puts a red cloak on his shoulders and goes to face the monster anyway.
When Merlin hears that a monster has been destroying farms and killing villagers, he puts on a black cloak and goes to take it down.
They didn’t expect to meet each other. And they don’t even know who's under the other’s hood. Where would be the fun in that?Basically, a Camelot version of the good old ‘Daft Superheroes and their Stupid Secret Identity Shenanigans’ trope in a time of myth and a land of magic. With Arthur as the dashing knight, and Merlin as the fearsome sorcerer.
Set just after the end of Season 1.
(No Merthur planned) -

Summary
Sora says he likes Riku’s blue cupcakes. Which is weird, not because Riku is a bad cook, but because he’s certain Sora hates cinnamon, and the teal icing is chock-full of Riku’s favorite spice.
Who would've known teal cupcakes were the key to solve a huge mystery about mysterious hair color?

Summary
When Merlin finds about the Stulorne blades, he can’t find Arthur in his chambers. So he leaves him a note to warn him about Dagr and Ebor, instead of telling him. If Arthur is more ready to believe an anonymous note than his own
friendmanservant, maybe Merlin can use this to inform the prince of other threats, and perhaps help other people as well?

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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
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.
