    Summary

    On the desk in between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu was a printout of the email. Shen Qingqiu refused to look at it. If he tried very hard, he could pretend it wasn’t there. When the email had hit his inbox this morning, Shen Qingqiu had read it and reread enough to have it memorized, as he tried to comprehend the meaning of these words arranged in this order. The second that comprehension dawned upon him, he’d deleted the email then promptly tried to forget everything about it.

    He wasn’t being very successful on that front.

    The message, written with the extraordinary eloquence that Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe was capable of, had been sent en masse to the entire faculty and student body. It stated two main points. Firstly, that Luo Binghe attested that Shen Qingqiu had never slept with, assaulted, molested, groomed, or was in any way inappropriate to him during his time at Cang Qiong Academy (thanks for the endorsement, Binghe!!). Secondly, that Luo Binghe was announcing this because he intended to marry Shen Qingqiu and did not want even the whisper of false impropriety to stain his Shizun’s name.

    Summary

    If Shizun was hoping to hide his mysterious visitor from his peak, his edict for everyone to leave and not remark on her made it impossible for her to go unremarked on. Ming Fan was currently scurrying around, punishing anyone who suggested anything untoward was possibly happening. This mostly meant people waited to gossip until he was gone. The leading theory was that the woman was from one of the brothels Shizun was rumored to have frequented in the past. Luo Binghe had never seen any evidence that this rumor was true (he was actually concerned that Shizun didn’t know what sex was), so he’d dismissed the claims as slander.

    Then a woman had prostrated herself at the bottom of the stairs of Cang Qiong and begged that a message be delivered to all on the mountain. It was urgent, she said. She could not say more at this time, but lives depended on the right person hearing these words.

    “What is the message?” a disciple had asked.

    The woman raised her head. “Beyonce,” she had said clearly. “Internet. The general concept of astronauts.”

    Summary

    There are some great quick guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide, dividing all of the available tags into the following categories:

    1. Text Formatting (in-line HTML)
    2. Page Formatting (block HTML)
    3. Tables and Lists
    4. Links and Images

    Each tag will 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.

    It will also introduce tag attributes, ways to further refine formatting, for a few simple - but widely applicable - cases.

    Summary

    Dimitri doesn’t do connections. He doesn’t do hobbies or nights out or dates. He works from home as a shitty project manager, goes to the gym at two in the morning, and is miserable all the time. Now that his parents and stepsister are gone, nothing else feels right.

    But when his panic attacks and anxiety come to a head, his therapist suggests he take on a ‘tactile hobby’ to ground himself. Visual art is out of the question, too free-form. The idea that he might create something that says something about himself is petrifying. He needs an activity that has instructions attached. Woodworking? In his tiny apartment? Baking? He couldn’t taste it anyway. So that’s how Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd finds himself walking out of a craft store with a pair of size eight knitting needles and a cheap ball of yarn.

    “This better fucking work.”

    OR: Dimitri hits rock bottom, and the only way left to go is up.

    Summary

    Byleth receives an odd question in the advice box one day. Someone in the army was madly in love to the point of pain, and they needed her advice.

    Matters of the heart—and the flesh—were far from her realm of expertise, but she tries her best to answer them, as any good former professor should.

    Meanwhile, Dimitri has been acting strange around her as of late. She wonders why.

    Summary

    As Dimitri left the Professor in the library, the full implications of what had transpired dawned on him. He cursed himself for being irresponsible and promising things that he had no right to once again. He was a killer who hardly deserved to stand before her and still, he had brashly offered to be her lover. And yet she had agreed; she had said all right.
    ...
    He didn’t have words for the feeling that lodged in his chest, somewhere at the core of him. It was simply a messy tangle of desire and greed, possession and adoration. Once the door was opened, he did not know what that dark thing would become; perhaps it would consume them both.

    “Hypothetically speaking,” says Xie Lian, “what would you do if someone—not me, of course—told you that they have feelings for San La—your roommate? Even though they live halfway across the world and it will probably never happen and—”

    “This is an incredibly specific hypothetical situation,” says He Xuan through a mouthful of his dinner.

    (Or: Xie Lian falls in love with his best friend's roommate. This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't live on opposite ends of the world.)

    Summary

    He Xuan starts coughing so loudly and so violently that for a second Xie Lian loses track of reality, and thinks it was He Xuan who got buried under what feels like half a mountain, and not Xie Lian. It’s only as he tries to get up, alarmed, that the pain shoots through his body and reminds him why that would be a terrible idea. A grunt of pain must escape him, because He Xuan pushes him down again. This time, he leaves his hand on his shoulder, a constant reminder to “stay the fuck down, dianxia, fucking idiot.”

    “You sounded like you were in pain. Are you sure you weren’t hurt in the collapse?”

    “It really is very galling to be fretted upon by a man who is bleeding half of his intestines unto the floor.”

    (or: Xie Lian and He Xuan end up trapped in a cave together, and Xie Lian won't stop saying upsetting things. It's probably the concussion.)
