How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on a list of characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

Summary
Seven gripped the sides of the console. Surely the Captain must realize that I have committed a crime? Why would she not provide the appropriate punishment? Seven's Borg hand tightened on the console so hard her fingers began to dig into the metal. It is obvious - the Captain is trying to protect me. That is why the Captain will not discuss Unusus IV with me - if she does so she will be forced to punish me. I cannot allow her to do this. If I have committed a crime, I deserve to be punished.

Phèdre will come to her soon. Melisande must believe this. The game is begun, the players in motion. Melisande should enjoy this part. If all goes according to plan, perhaps Melisande will even look back in longing one day for the time Phèdre was not yet hers in entirety, the days when her yielding was ever a question.

Until we meet again by fishbone76
Fandoms: Assassin's Creed - All Media Types, Assassin's Creed Odyssey
08 Mar 2025

Summary
Kyra’s romance is my favorite, and my Kassandra was utterly devastated after that dramatic ending. So here I am, attempting to mend Ubisoft’s mess and give Kassandra the one true love she craves and deserves.
I might stray from some canon elements and tweak them to suit this story. Expect memory sequences (not always in chronological order) that add depth to the Silver Islands quest cutscenes and flesh out character relationships.
Kassandra and Kyra have a lot to work through, so brace yourself for a slow-burn romance.
While this story shares a universe with My Stepmother Is a Delian and I Will Camp at the Banks of the Styx for You, Until We Meet Again (UWMA) diverges in a few ways. You could say Stepmother and Styx exist in a different timeline, even though UWMA serves as a sort of prequel. Confused yet? Perfect! Enjoy the ride ;)
The first DLC and its characters don’t exist here (or in any of my stories). Layla and her modern-day interruptions are also absent. The Atlantis DLC might get a nod, depending on where I steer Kassandra’s journey in the future.
