𖤂 Starfleet Themed Work Dividers for Fic Formatting by CodenameCarrot for DoubleStashed
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (TV 2026)
06 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
A css skin and tutorial that allows you to make Starfleet themed dividers for use within a chapter. It can be used to modify the h3 heading (for dividers with titles or description) or the hr element (for dividers without).
This skin and the resulting dividers have been tested on, and work with, the standard site skin, low vision site skin, reversi, snow blue, and the highly modified version of simply twilling I use as my standard. So it should work for almost every one of your readers.

Add a direct link to comment on a chapter that looks like a real A03 button!
Right now, if a user is reading in "entire work" the easiest way to comment on a chapter is to open the next chapter in a new tab, then go back a chapter, click comments, and then leave a comment. Readers who downloaded a work have even more hoops to jump though.
This is a guide to making a direct link to the feedback section so that our readers can give us some. It uses AO3's default CSS classes to piggyback on the archive formatting our reader is using, making it look like an official A03 button on the web. (CSS formatting does not carry-over if the work is downloaded, but the link will remain.)

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.

30 Sep 2025

Summary
Two of the five times Julian Bashir obtained a medical license, the time he lost one, and the things that came after.

Sometimes Murder is the Answer by CodenameCarrot
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon)
20 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
LMH Julian Bashir of the USS Anaximander was shaken when he learned that this universe’s Doctor Bashir was Human Augment. More so when the date of Doctor Zimmerman’s death in his universe was the same as when the secret went public here. What sort of monster might he be, deep in his code?
Dr. Elim Garak has always known two things: that Julian Bashir (any one of him) is one of the most irrationally idealistic officers to ever serve in Star Fleet and that sometimes murder is the answer. To reassure his husband, they’ll visit CMO Julian Bashir on Deep Space 9 and even investigate across quantum realities.

I Want a Man With a Short Skant and a Long Jacket (A Post-Canon Cardassia Fic) by CodenameCarrot
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek
02 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, Lieutenant, shouldn’t have been in charge of the Federation Relief Effort. But here he was: briefing volunteers, dispensing energy credits, arranging marriages, and trying to meet up with Garak for a literary flirtation over a private meal. (There was no such thing as a private meal with Garak but Julian was getting used to the security drones and the paparazzi.)
He had everything under control - for most definitions of control - when Admiral Jellico arrived to relieve him. And while Jellico’s leadership style might not have been a great fit for the relief effort, it was 100% what Julian needed to enact an over-the-top bid to get his lizard.
Or: the the one where...
Julian accidentally encouraged a generation to take up recreational swimming, forced a planet-wide revision of the public decency laws, and then made it up to Garak by recreating the most famous scene from the Cardassian Union’s most pirated porn as a public declaration of love.

Some Bridges Have Names, Some Make Them by CodenameCarrot for Mary_West
Fandoms: 11Foot8 Bridge (YouTube & Website)
11 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Some Bridges are designed by famous architects like Leonardo or Calatrava. Some bridges are big, or beautiful, or historic. These bridges have names: the Golden Gate, the Sydney Harbor.
Other bridges make their own way in the world. They claw their way into names like “the can opener” or “fools bridge.”
And most bridges are just unappreciated, and would gladly be the backup singer in a boy-band for 15 minutes of fame.

Summary
As of April 2016, The database that stores works on A03 does not allow emoji. If you try to add an emoji it will end your story there. Any words after the emoji? Poof. Gone. This is a known, if poorly advertised, issue with the archive.
There are some workarounds; you can find them in: How to Make iOS Text messages on A03. But here? Here is for ALL THE EMOJI*.
10 chapters of emoji tables, each with the HTML for putting the emoji into your work and the CSS for putting it into your workskin. Copy-Paste baby. Copy-Paste.
*Does not contain the 2016 Unicode release. You'll have to come up with the code for pickle yourselves.
(Note, because this is 10 chapters of emoji tables, here is a link to the Index Tables (chapter 1) to speed up load times and reduce confusion if you have preferences set to "entire work.")

La Perla (or substitution as approved by Stark) by CodenameCarrot for Valeris, Ellidfics, Jaune_Chat, ladygray99, Axilef, Raliena, La_Temperanza
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Marvel
26 Feb 2016

Summary
As the third richest person in the world, Tony Stark wouldn't be caught dead with his lovers in something as pedestrian as Victoria's Secret. Hell, he wasn't about to let anyone he invited to live in his tower defile it with that mass-produced crap.
Or: Five times Tony Stark procured intimate apparel for the Avengers and the one time it was procured for him.
Or: The gift fic no-one asked for, but I wrote anyway.
Note: Rating has been reduced to TEEN. While Tony Stark is an unrepentant pervert in this slice-of-life style 5+1; it is certainly less raunchy than Coyote Ugly (PG-13) and I don't think it's any more explicit than most YA fantasy & SF.

Summary
Given Captain America's shield is made of either Vibranium or a Vibranium-Steel Alloy: Vibranium must be a transition metal. Because it doesn't rust - even when lost in the Potomic - it should join silver, gold and platinum as a noble metal.
Ditto for Adamantium.
This is the periodic table that fucks with quantum mechanics to put the marvel elements where they belong. It should work for Marvel-616, the cinematic universe (Marvel-199999) and even the tie-in video games.
Or: the headcannon where the author always was fascinated by Technecium, and knows just enough quantum mechanics to be dangerous.
