Summary
Erik's son needs a tutor. Erik definitely does not want to sleep with the tutor, because that would be inappropriate for a myriad of reasons (including, but not limited to: his life is kind of a mess). Even if the tutor asks really, really nicely.

Summary
“I cannot recall,” Maedhros says, watching Maglor stoke the fire, “I cannot recall if you are dead.”
“I am not,” Maglor says. “Father is.”
Father frowns. “I am not either,” he says, out of the fireplace, “I am made of flames and thus I cannot die.”
“Father is dead,” Maedhros echoes. That seems right. “Maglor.”
“Yes?” Maglor straightens up. He walks to the table. The table is small, wound, carved of wood. It doesn’t look like anything they had before. Maglor pours wine and waters it down, mixes in honey.
“You must tell me if you have died,” Maedhros says, “it is cruel if you do not tell me.”
“He is a poet,” Father says, “he must be cruel.”--
Maedhros drifts.

Summary
"Perhaps that one summer in the sand when I gave him his songs and stories, had bound us in a way blood alone could not, weaved something intractable between my second son’s soul and mine. Perhaps the summer Maglor began to sing changed the course of his life for good."
_________
When Maglor is eight years old, Nerdanel takes him to the seaside for a summer. Over the next seven thousand years, more than one life is saved.Bookmarked by labaredas

Summary
Feanaro had composed an entire alphabet. He could certainly compose a letter.
The question was if he was capable of doing so with the slightest modicum of tact.
(Or: five times Nerdanel had to help Feanaro write a letter, and one time he returned the favor.)
(And two times they had to write a letter alone.)

Listen, oh, I know it’s been a long, long year by steadfastalysanne2022 for ThatFeanorian

Summary
It’s been a little over two years since Maedhros got out of an abusive relationship. Sure, he’s still got some lingering trauma and some unresolved issues with his dad, but at least now he has support from his family, his therapist, an actual circle of queer friends, and an amazing boyfriend. Really, he can’t believe how lucky he is to have found Fingon. All that he has to is make it through a family wedding, survive his comprehensive exams, and deal with the sudden return of his sex drive and all the kinks that he thought he’d left behind. But with Fingon at his side, he’s sure that he can manage all of that.
And Fingon? Well, he’s never backed down from a challenge before, and he survived coming out to himself and Maedhros after spending twenty-three years convinced that he was straight. He’s sure that he can handle coming out to almost everyone he knows as long as it means that he gets to love Maedhros publicly and proudly. Really, with Maedhros’ support and guidance, he can’t imagine anything going wrong.
Title comes from Maggie Rogers’ song “Anywhere With You.”

Ilimbë by TheChasm for Alquaniquisse
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
15 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Fëanor said, “Why do you think the Elf who made Ilimbë loved her?”
Nerdanel did not castigate him for the absurdity of the question. “Because she was beautiful, I suppose,” she said; “and all the Eldar love beautiful things.”
“But better to make a beautiful thing than to be one,” said Fëanor; “you cannot convince me otherwise.”
“Nor do I wish to try!” said Nerdanel. “But why do you think Ilimbë loved her maker, then?”
Fëanor had never thought of that question before. “Because,” he said, more hesitantly than was his wont, “well — how could she not? She was made for loving him.”
-
Fëanor, newly apprenticed in Mahtan’s halls, does not care that Nerdanel does not like him. Her statues are nice enough, but he has far more important things to concern himself with than her approval. And he doesn't think she’s pretty.
A story about art, mythology, and learning what exactly you were made for.

Summary
Caranthir sighs, disgusted, and sits on the bed, as far as he can get from Celegorm without appearing like he’s halfway to crawling out of his skin. “I didn’t come back to life so I could hear how much my dying traumatized you.”
“You fucking bastard,” says Celegorm, and lunges.
[When Caranthir is reborn into Valinor, he must deal with everything he left behind in Beleriand- the annoying brothers, the overbearing parents, the family he lost and will never regain.
But there are things that Caranthir does not know. There are lies that have not yet been unwound. There are mercies he has never expected. It takes orange trees, infuriating brothers, silver ribbons and unseasonal thunderstorms, but slowly Caranthir learns precisely how wrong he is.]

Summary
Maedhros is eighteen months out of an abusive relationship, but he's doing well. He's going to therapy regularly. He's living on his own, and he's getting his doctorate in linguistics. Sure, he's still got issues with sleep, food, self-esteem, dating, and sex, but who doesn't have issues with those things? Besides, his new roommate Fingon is great to have around and seems surprisingly invested in being his friend. Sure, Fingon is straight and has a girlfriend, but Maedhros doesn't mind. He's not ready to date again anyway, and Fingon is such a good friend.
All the sex that eventually takes place between Maedhros and Fingon is consensual. The r/nc tag refers to past events, as well as flashbacks, nightmares, and recollections about them.
The title comes from Maggie Rogers’ new song, “Anywhere With You.”

Summary
Finding Dracula's castle was the last resort for Lisa.
She knew the dangers, yet she pressed on, too determined not to try. People said he was a monster. But monsters didn’t have castles full of books as far as she was concerned. To Lisa, monsters were rogue beasts in the woods. Not men who read and made inventions. Dracula was something else entirely. And she was drawn to him.

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.

“Now,” Mr Howlett says, and clicks his irritatingly pink pen. “How happy are you with your marriage? On a scale of one to ten.”
“Eight,” Charles says.
“That’s a rubbish scale,” Erik says. “You can’t fucking measure happiness on a scale. How are we supposed to know how much happiness differs between each number? What, are we just supposed to guess? Also, does one mean most happy or least happy? Also-”
Charles closes his eyes and looks like he wants to suffocate himself using one of the cushions.
*
Charles Haller and Erik Eisenhardt meet at a bar, fall in love, and get married. Neither of them know that the other is an assassin working for a rival agency- but they're about to find out real soon.

Summary
Ever since David came to live with his father, their relationship has been polite but distant: his father is always working, and David still sort of thinks of him as Charles Xavier, The World’s Most Famous Telepath, a larger-than-life figure he first saw on television five years ago.
But when the grandmother David never knew existed calls and demands to meet her grandson, a harrowing weekend trip reveals how much he and his father don’t know about each other—and alters things between them in ways he never would have predicted.

"Erik sighs, it’s the last thing he wants to do but he knows he hardly has a choice in the matter. If he did, he wouldn’t be standing outside the psychologist's office with a little paper card in his hand, looking at the name Dr. Charles Xavier Ph. D PsyD. M.D. written on it and wondering if the man really needed so many letters after his name."
